Nua'ing - Art of idling productively

Ah...The usual FIRST question - How did this all start out? Thanks to two wonderful ex-colleagues (who are still friends unfortunately) who started the idea of nua'ing after leaving their less than lucrative day jobs. Between now and the new chapters of their lives, what better time than just idle productively.

For the uninitiated, perhaps a simple definition of "nua".

It's a fukien/hokkien dialect term that closely resembles 'bum', 'slacker' and the obvious 'lazy'. But there is more to nua'ing than just 'slacking' or 'bumming'. It about a physical change of state - from solid to a pasty like goo. Get the idea?

So...how do you equate nua'ing with productive idle?

There's still much work to be done even in a "nua" state. The skill is how to get it accomplished but remain in the perpetual gooey "nua" state. That's where the art of nua comes to play ;)

I'll have my fellow nua-sters provide their perspectives to the fruits of their idle pursuits....

Till then...first (and certainly not the last) nua'ing post.

PS : Incidentally...there's a deeper meaning to NUA too. It's Net Unrealized Appreciation. Go figure what it means .... :D
