It's been awhile since I last blogged, and my my my what a lot of things have transpired since Christmas!
Of notable mention:
1) Family Fiesta - a most cherished night of fun, games and family love.
2) Orientation - particularly the failures and successes of Registration (day1) & CCA walkabout (day2)
3) Welcome 2008 - new classes, new teachers, "new" school; same vision, old determination, 1 belief.
2007 has been such a beautiful year, and I have so much to say about it!
But more on that some other time maybe. For now, it's the new year that's compelled me to blog.
One wonders, what kind of a year would 2008 be.
Jourdan would have me believe 2008 would be the "best year yet," and there is little doubt about that.
I believe, whatever happens from now till 31 December 2008, the battle victory is secured as long as lessons are gleaned from it. And that's something within my control.
That said, to move to the extreme laissez-faire end of the spectrum,
however phlegmatically saintly an attitude that is, is hardly conceivable.
The truth is, we are all not here to see anything happen.
Not just anything.
We have come together with different ideas of what should happen and how.
In the year 2008 especially, this is the very thing that makes the year tremendously exciting.
The initial phases are ofcourse linchpin to the entire affair, it's got me over the edge of my seat to see and be involved in how the chess pieces are set.
The excitment surges then ebbs away at the conceivement of a chess game though.
Let's go back to the basics:
Finis Origine Pendet - The end depends upon the beginning.
Increasingly though, the question for me is not "what?" but rather "how?"
How do we go about it?
How was it possible in the past?
Then again, there is the constant reminder that knowledge in itself, is a means, and not an end.
Time and tide will not wait for me to mull over questions with elusive questions though.
Whatever's gonna happen will happen soon,
and we'll just have to take to it like ducks take to water.
This is, afterall, not the first time the cheese has been moved.
Let's go on a cheese hunt!
