Turtle

"Imagine that the whole earth was covered with water, and a man was to throw a yoke with a hole in it into the water. Blown by the wind, that yoke would drift north, south, east and west. Now, suppose that once in hundred years a blind turtle would rise to the surface. What do you think? Would that turtle put his head through the hole in the yoke as he rose to the surface once in a hundred years?"

"It is unlikely Lord."

"Well, it is just as unlikely that one will be born as a human being; it is just unlikely that a Tathagata, a Noble One, a fully enlightened Buddha should arise in the world; and it is just as unlikely that the Dhamma and discipline of the Tathagata should be taught. But now you have been born as a human being, a Tathagata has arisen and the Dhamma has been taught. Therefore, strive to realize the Four Noble Truths."

blur..

Yes... totally blur when I saw that I have been invited to an interview for a training scheme in capital market... a word that doesn't register any image in my mind since I've put my heart into marketing since my final year of study. I did study something on the capital market and financial things before, but they're totally gone now from my mind, I even went to search for the definition of capital market on google.

I went to apply for something that I have almost absolute zero knowledge on, and now, having succeeded in getting myself selected for the interview, I really don't know how to cope. Worst still, I am given a choice of who I want to be interviewed by, they are all in short forms (the associations) and again I went to look up what are those associations... from accounting, corporate governance, banking, unit trust; which one should I choose?

My career path is a complete mess now... really blur on what I would like to do...

I have also applied to the teachers training course, and when I looked at the course module, I would never have applied for something like that, but what to do if I would like to be a teacher?

On the other hand, my new phone is a delight, the sony ericsson k700i (at last I know how to spell ericsson, haha...) Been fiddling with it and had fun trying to take photos and videos and doing some sound recording... I guess the biggest reward is the candid shot of my parents... really nice.. However, I have just registered for GPRS and still could not connect to the internet... I wonder why, and I wonder did i do it the right way?

Also watched A.I. just now, and missed American Idol, old movie but this is the first time I'm watching the show... really touching... 2000 years for that one day with the mother...

Talking about American Idol, I'd better check out who got into the final 3...
