The ragged pieces of ideas and thoughts of my attempt to live a life as a contemporary monastic in the urban city of Singapore..

 

New and old things

On new years day, Yien Shien SMSed me to wish for the Lord to lead me to greater heights in the new year. I'm thinking if she thinks I'm short. A few days later Hannah and Joey bought me some brown color dye as a gift for my belated birthday. I'm thinking if they think I not stylo enough. I'm thinking when I'm due for a new hair color. They also bought me a 3 in 1 cleaning product from Body Shop which can be used from hair, eyebrow & face to legs & toes. I'm thinking if they think I'm too slack with personal hygenine. I'm also thinking if I should start using more natural products.

Over the weekend, I made my first apple smoothie with the blender we found in the kitchen cupboard during our spring cleaning. It was horrible (the smoothie not the blender) both how it looked and tasted. That's probably the last one I'll ever make in my life. We have also found our old fish tank and some pots for indoor plants which we thought it'll be good to use again. We however found more crockroches eggs or things to be gotten rid of than stuff that can be used. I realised how estatic my wife can get when I clear out unwanted stuff.

The new year has so far not just been about new things, its also about old things given a new leash of life. We really can't carry things with us when we die, so definitely, we should keep working out what we are holding on to and sort out what is good to be thrashed and what is effective to carry with us.
