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

good idea to "tour" spore. cheap & convenient.
when i was on the treadmill, i was thinking that our work/career takes up a fraction of our life. Prob 30 yrs out of a normal 80-yrs lifespan. ain't as bad. unfortunately it happen during our peak. nevertheless, it is definitely worth it to put in effort and dedication while you'r young. The fruit you'll reap later will be much much sweeter. :)
