One of my colleagues passed away yesterday, one of those whom I lunch with and whom I bump into day in day out. One of us, not those ancient fossil at the office, how can it be?
I am still slightly in shock. A buzzing sound was turned on inside my head. It is like a PDA reminder from the-power-above reminding me to focus on the big picture. The problems I was so worried about faded away the moment I heard the news. Neither the family financial mystery nor the jello-like stage at work seem to matter as much anymore.
It is part of growing up, learning to deal is part of the deal. Summer no longer means as much these days, I don't remember when I stopped resenting the fact that I need to get up and work during July and August. There are things that I could not control and can't even be bothered, things don't happen simply because I set my mind to it. Cliche are cliche because they turn out to be true, right?
So, I am now going to seize the day and watch some TV.
