An Award and a Defeatist Attitude

Been really busy with work lately that I rarely have time to update this blog but rest assured that whenever I have free time, I browse all the blogs that I can with that time. In times of stress, I would probably love to just sit comfy on my favorite sofa and do nothing.


My friend recently gave me a coffee table book featuring 101 reasons not to do anything. Here are my favorite excerpts from the book:


"It was such a lovely day I thought it was a pity to get-up." - W. Somerset Maughan


"There is one piece of advice, in a life of study, which I think no one will object to; and that is, every now and then to be completely idle, - to do nothing at all." - Sydney Smith


"With ecstacies so sweet as none can ever guess, who walk not with the feet of joy in idleness." - Robert Bridges


and here is my favorite:



IF IT RAINED KNOWLEDGE, I'D HOLD OUT MY HAND; BUT I WOULD NOT GIVE MYSELF THE TROUBLE TO GO IN QUEST OF IT."




Before I bid adieu, I would like to thank Vinzent for this award (my very first). You are a dear friend and I know I do not deserve this but THANKS.


I suppose to give this to five other bloggers whom for me is a five star so I am passing this award to the following and at the same time giving thanks for leaving comments in my blog:

1. Ifoundme

2. The Dong

3. The Islander

4. Acey

5. Lawstude

Gotta go back to sleep, errr, work now.
