I have told my story quite a few times already, in short here is the summary.   Woke up early in the morning, went throught 3 hours of stressful P.Eng exam.  Back home to pick up my car, found someone tried to break into my car.  The lock at the driver&#8217;s door is broken, have to get into the car from the passenager seat.  Went to work, file insurance claims, work till 10p.m. to make up the hours I took off in the morning.  On my way home, got a call from Pat and I walked Charlie with her.  I feel like I had just spoken all thing things in one long breath of air.<\/p>\n<p>I suppose to feel free since the P.Eng exam is now done, although I still have to wait 8 weeks for the result.  I may pass, I may fail, but that&#8217;s outside of my control.   Just like the time when I finish my thesis defense and my ski instructor license, I suppose to feel free and relax, but I found myself already engaged into the next goal.  Life seems to be so busy, but if I take a step back and look, it seems I havn&#8217;t done much really.  In buddism wisdom, a man is trouble free when he wants nothing.  My troubles is that there are too many things I want.  Not just material things, which in some sense is not a real problem.  Since it can be simplified into one single problem, money.  The non-material things I search for is much harder to satisfy.  In fact, I think it can&#8217;t be fully satisfy in theory.  Should I just be a mindless hippy, so I don&#8217;t have to strive to be a great person?  Maybe I can find a way to repackage sloppiness with buddist mind and become a hippy monk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Don&#8217;t want to sound like I am whinning, but in short it is a pretty rough day for me.
