chasing Time

what is "busy" in today's world? there is no surprise nor is it gobsmacking if you hear someone is busy. everyone seems to be very busy these days. "oh, i have a lot to do", "im soooooo busy!", "i cant do this now, im busy".

nobody knows what anyone busy is really doing. they are just...busy. you can try throwing in a reason that it's just a matter of time management, but really, it doesnt change the fact that they will still be busy. it's not that they have less to do, it's just that they managed the things they have to do.

sometimes i wondered if the root word for business is busy. it could be. that's probably why people with business to do are always busy. haha. like you become too caught up in the 'business' (busyness) of life that you forget trivial things.

you forget how the sky looks like at night, you forget the taste of rain, you forget the people around you; and you put everything else on hold, while you go chasing time .

i am always busy too. sometimes to the point where i dont even know the hell im doing. which saddens me, because i always believe that i need to do my best in everything i do. right now, it just seems as if im doing things for the sake of doing, like the malay saying: "melepaskan batuk di tangga". because im chasing time, i need everything to be done at instant.

but you know what i realize? i will always be left behind no matter how quickly i chase it. thats just it. you always think that time is not enough, and therefore it will be your loss to think such.


p/s: i have one week to get 10 things done before i can finally be a free man. have no idea if i can pull off this feat. we'll see!

everything is quickfix nowadays, aren't they?
ranging from assignmnts, food, notes, relationship, yadayadayada.

Being a bit slower is a bliss at times. To wake up and smell the coffee.

haha..i like that bz could be the root word of biznes..i think so too lah!
i think theres always time for everything.its just a matter of time management and prioritizing.some days u can have fun the whole day but some day u work the whole day!
then u will see that u can do the best in all u do.its quite rare that u can do both in 1 day.
sacrifice and try to find the fun in everything are the keywords here.sacrifice ur play time for work and vice versa.thing is, people have no prob sacrificing work time for play but whine till hell freezes over when they need to do the other way round!and for god's sake,there is fun for everything even in my oh-so-boring MTG class hahahah!just got to know where to look!
remember,all work and no play makes minah/mamat a very dull girl/boy!muahahha....
