Last night I found out that my college mate & former uni housemate was recently involved in an accident. CK was trying to avoid a motorcycle in Penang and his Kembara was hit sideways. From the pics he sent out, the side collision happened at a pretty high speed as his car turned turtle.
He wrote that he suffered some permanent disability in his right hand (but he can't tell exactly what form yet) and he wrote to us using his southpaw (i.e. left hand).
When I first heard the news, I was naturally shocked, and grateful that he came out in one piece. Somehow, I still have a hope his right hand will turn out ok and he'll be fine. Take care my friend and get well soon.
Got me wondering if I'm too optimistic and hopeful sometimes. Naive even? In a way, I'm glad I'm not that jaded and cynical. On other hand, I'm afraid I might be setting myself up for dissappointments from my wishful thinkings.
I think I can live with that :) I want to keep on dreaming and aim for the stars. Why be tied down by self-created chains of self-doubt and needless worry?
Pipe dreams you say? Who knows? Only the future will tell, and it looks pretty fine in my eyes. Smiles.

Silverworm corner: Decided to continue with "Benjamin Graham's Value Investing" by Janet (or was it Jane?) Lowe. Need to keep an eye out for BG's "Intelligent Investor", the book that so influenced Warren Buffet.
On the spin-table: "Every day is a winding road" by Sheryl Crow. Random pick from my Launchcast playlist.
