what's the purpose of our journey?

The trip to science centre proved to be somewhat useful, at least we get to know another group who is in the same kind of shit as us, lol. Cam-whored while cabbing over to science centre, oblivious and nonchalant to what the taxi uncle is thinking.

I guess if I am the guy from Conrad and am meeting up to 12 people for this sharing session, I must be thinking what the hell are these people wasting their time on? Shouldn't they be doing things that is more closely related to their core business like teaching & learning and brainstorming for relevant and interest exhibits to entice and engage their students and visitors? Well, for this, I have an answer which is too long and troublesome for me to verbalise, think as long as we know what we are doing, it is good enough.

However, I was watching this lecture series from some China Prof on Channel U last night and she said something that knock the sleep bug out of me - "Sometimes we are too caught up with our journey that we forget why are we embarking on it in the first place." Think we should make a conscious effort to schedule time for mile-stone checks so that we always what is the meaning and purpose of our life, ya? elsewise, burn out will set in which is very prevalent in the teaching profession.

Had a talk with QM over Nuggets (i only ate 4 out of 9, phew) and Coke Light and we have a new money-spinning (hopefully) project which is useful (definitely) for students to work for this year. So am looking forward to get rid of the inertia and complete our proposal by Oct 08.

funny how a one-liner from someone who has been on your mind helps you to see things from another perspective. sometimes we can have the cake and eat it too.
