Insomnia...age or circumstances?

Can't sleep again... wonder if insomnia is due to ageing or anxiety? Am I having too much to think of, or is it what everyone in their 30s usually get? Hmmm... really dunno..

Earthquake in China, Cyclone in Myanmar

Got a call from my mum yesterday night, reminding me to donate for the earthquake in China. Saw a website having links to different red cross websites for relief donations. One thing they did mention was that some think that Myanmar is in greater need of relief aid compared to China, as China is accepting international aid willingly, while Myanmese still have to wait for their military to accept such aid.

I guess we all have to do our part, however small, or however minute.

Lights!!

Went light hunting today...Yep at Balestier.. seems like all the better light shops are over there..

It was soooo hot, that we had to stop twice for drinks. Ended up getting 3 sets of lights. And someone who will help us look at how many downlights we will need.

Still left with the dining lights. Downlights with single tubes cost roughly about $20-$35 plus $8 for installation (+$25 for transport or $35 including installation for 1st bulb) and $10-$13 for wire looping. We might need about 20 at least, added with the feature lights, should come up to about $2k I guess... not too cheap, not too expensive either.

These ones are pretty unique, though I really can't think of a place to put them.

Fate

I'm not particularly superstitious, but it was Wesak Day (at least in HK and Japan) and I was at a temple. So I got myself a bundle of 'chian' or 'fortune sticks' and started shaking the tube while praying for direction.

Don't think I should put the interpretation here, as it might notcome true if everyone knows it, but here's the untranslated version:

a) GOOD: All elements are in harmony. Season is good. The very core of all things. The consent and favor of the rulers.
b) MEDIUM: To encounter a Benefactor is similar to a withered tree blossoming again.

Wonder if I should follow what it says, or find my own path.
