What do you see?

I decided to spend some time updating this blog.  Of course I have the usual excuse of 'no time' to explain for my absent entries.  I did lose my momentum a while back, and was contemplating whether I should close down this blog once and for all.  However, I decided against that for this is still one of the better places where I am able to think out aloud (but rationalising is a different issue altogether).

So..what's up?
Ramadan came and went.  It was a time of spiritual cleansing, not only just restricting the body from food and drink.  I thank God for his blessings...for there are many things which I am grateful for...and when this Syawal came, I am again thankful for my parents, my family and loved ones...and that I have been able to gain a lot more.

So what is the connection to the title?
What do I see...goes beyond the physical elements in my mundane existence.
I love the play of words..and I shall use the status updates I have placed on FB.  It all stems from the lesson on phrasal verbs I was doing with my class.

"Look at, look over, look into,look in on ....look around, look for, look back,...look up, look up to, looked upon as, look on as...look down, look away....

Look forward to (?)...sigh...maybe I should just change my glasses!"

Look AT...the endless marking, the mountainous piles of work, ...trying to decipher the squiggly whirls..but when I look At things lately, why do I toggle between fear and despair?

Look OVER...I scrutinse and examine...but have I become so focused in one direction that I am blindsided by my own faults?  Do I overlook and fail to see?

Look INTO...It's that time of the year...when one is held accountable for one's responsibility...But when you are in a slightly higher position...you assume responsibility of not only your shortcomings...but the rest of your team as well.

Look IN ON...hmm...I wonder just how many of my relatives' homes have I decided to give a miss this time round?  My aunts are getting on in age...I must remember that.

....you catch the drift...

I look, but I do not see many many things.
I have chosen to look away ultimately...and that is not good.

What can I look forward to?

Next year...I will start anew.
I need a fresh perspective of things.  I want to move on.

Wah...this is nonsensical....
