3rd winter in Korea

Life sure works in mysterious ways. 10 years ago this time I was in middle of Africa. Project and safari. 10 years later I am in Korea. Project and snow (a little anyway)


2 of my good buddies whom I confide with have passed on since. Just realised I do not have many whom I can declare close friends, the list is getting shorter as you age.


This would be the 3rd winter in Korea and probably my last for this project. God knows where I will be in 10 years time. God knows if I will ever be back again.


Was explaining the Maslow hierarchy of needs with a colleagues the other day and was wondering where I am now, will I ever reach the stage of self actualisation? Or am I already there?  SUre feels that way sometimes as I do have the urge to create, to pursue anymore.


People are posting on FB nowadays trying to feel good about themselves comparing to Jack Ma, who is now the richest man in China but the entire family is plagued with illness. Is that how we comfort ourselves in the night when we achieve so little in life?

10 months post

Not sure why but I just can't seem to get my act together, lack of discipline I reckon. Just realised my last posting was 10 months ago, May 2013! Promised myself one posting per week and I can't even achieve that. No wonder my diet plan goes down the drain as well. Family came to stay with me for dfew months from Sept to Jan, part of the reason (or excuse) why I did not blog. I have more or less given up on myself, understanding my own character means understanding I will never be a great man like I have always dreamt off. Routines nowadays are wake up 6am, go to work, back to beach front apartment around 6pm, cook, dinner, watch TV, sleep 10pm. No excitement, no thrill, no plans, no hobby. Only excitement nowadays are planning for travelling or actual travel. Need more to that in life.
