Fear of losing sight
Have you ever felt a sudden fear of losing the ability to see?
If you do not have perfect eyesight, you may have had this feeling some time in your life. Actually I have not really felt the fear till recently.
I hope I am not trying to scare myself.. but i've encountered some moments of 'blindness' recently. U know, when you suddenly off the lights in a brightly lighted room, you will feel a momentarily darkness before your eyes get accustomed to the dark.
Recently, when i do that, I somehow felt that the darkness seem to have prolonged. I have to wait several minutes before I could make out anything that's in front of me. Somehow.. it felt... different. It felt a bit too long. It felt... unusual. And I am starting to feel more tired recently even though I sleep pretty much with the kids... and have not stayed up late for the past week.
I suddenly realised... that it will be terrible if I could not see both my children growing up, if I can't see the changes we are going to do to our home, the pictures of Mother Nature which we have often missed in our daily life, and every single thing that is happening in front of me.
Hopefully it's just my mind playing tricks on me.

Passion Vs Pay
Here I am at 130am in the morning.. peering and yawning at the laptop screen while the rest of the family are fast asleep. Looking at numbers and trying to obtain a meaningful analysis from them so that I can report it in this morning's ops meeting.
I hate this feeling.. and am increasingly feeling resentful working so late in the nite.
Why can't I sleep together with my children like other mummies?
Why must I drag myself up everytime just to finish off my work. My work is like my 2nd life.. i spend close to 90% of my waking hours thinking, breathing and talking about work.
If my work was my passion.. I would feel differently, I believe.
If my work is just about getting that pay every month... then why am I working so hard???
