Living
Life has been kinda good for me of late.
-Work-
Though I have been slogging my life away at work, I thoroughly enjoy what I do. I used to be very involved in D* services, which totally put me off. I was so pissed at my boss's sudden switch of decision to put me in D* when in the first place she hired me for S* services. Nevertheless, I suffered in silence and abide by her wishes. Recently, new hires have been made, and they are being integrated into our D* services team. Slowly but surely, my boss has taken me outta D* (though not totally, since I developed a Sun comparable I* for their use) and put me on so much S* services, I hardly have time for a breather. This change is good. Stay.
I have also come to realised that being experienced in D* services is good. In the past couple of interviews I went for, interviewers are generally interested in my S* capabilities, and also very interested in my expertise in D*. One even went as far to tell me that I had an edge over other candidates coz I was experienced in D*. Alas, as fate wld always make fun of ppl, I became the point of contact of my co. to handle their POC - and this, killed any sorta interest they had in me :p
To date, I have a whole year's worth of leave to push forward.
-Play-
One wld wonder how I can squeeze out time for play in my hectic schedule. I guess a person like me will just have to adapt quickly and promptly. Most fun nowadays come in the form of being a Singapore traveller. I gather info on the tourisy spots in Sg and I venture out, taking pictures, and discovering parts of Sg through a tourist's eyes. This is kinda fun in a way - it can sorta satisfy my greed for travelling outside Sg at this moment. I go to the Zoo to see Ah Meng, the Birdpark to see the Tallest man-made waterfall, Sentosa for picnic, Arab St for kebabs, Pulau Ubin to cycle and see the flora and fauna, Botanical Gardens for bfast, the airport for ice-cream and soon Geylang Serai to see the Hari Raya lightings.
I play tennis to stretch my body, and to laugh (when my balls fly outta the court). Recently, I go to Wala on Sats to wind down - which, is pretty enjoyable, other than the times when I got a $50 summon for parking at the pool carpark and smelling like stale cigs when I leave for home :p

I took leave on the coming Monday - not sure for what though, since my mind is still on the pending BBT next week - *Haha..snap out of it, you workaholic :p

Procrastination
Most people would procrastinate work to play. I - am the exact opposite.
I work hard. So hard that the services I charged for the last month can last me for the next half a year (in man months of coz, I would be in the Caribbeans sipping umbrella cocktails if they were in cash). I need a break. Somewhere serene, scenic and away from the buzzing sounds of servers and pushy clients.
Aside from Mondays to Fridays, I have been whiling my time away at somewhere old(new) for the last month (apart from the Saturday when my throat was so infected I wanted to take it out and disinfect it before stuffing it back in again). Kimono and I have been watching Shirlyn at Wala Wala. What was first a determination to have her requests played, developed into interest for Kimono. She annonunced to me that she will be going to Wala Wala for the many weeks to come - till further notice. I have no objections to that, since I need an outlet to unwind as well.
With this, I think I should hit the sack. I do have a lot to write about, esp after Kimono urged me strongly to start on my biography (I'm really tempted to buy her the whole of Young and Dangerous series instead :p). I need to organise my train of thoughts before I can start on it. Also, I need to settle on what I want to do next - further studies or my own outfit. I need time - to rest, to recharge, to holiday, to plan, to think, to roam, to get in touch. Time - wait, for me.

A present from a year ago
It isn't till lately, that I have began reading a present from a year ago. I can't remember why I didn't start on it; maybe I was too preoccupied with more important stuff, or maybe I wasn't attracted to it yet. So there it laid, in my cabinet for more than a year.
I'm only at the 5th chapter, and it has already pointed out several important philosophies in life which I chew on even while I'm in the toilet (*kidding).
"If you don't think you can afford loneliness, you shouldn't remain status quo, do something constructive about it"
"Love and passion are not identical. Love is directed toward another person, if neccessary we will sacriface our own comfort to make that other person happier. Passion, meanwhile, can be simply selfish gratification."
"Don't let hope be the best thing to happen to you. The closest thing to success is NOT a failure of lesser magnitude."
These 3 philosophies are the more apparent ones which I'm living right now; or ones that I try to acheive whenever I can ;)
