Despite all those, I still felt restless at night and could hardly bring myself up for work every morning. I was uneasy to go home from work, afraid that I missed something important. I got irritated when things don’t get done as per my plan, even the smallest thing like missing a bus or when my Yoga exercise started 5 mins late. I was disappointed to myself for not meeting my jogging target, and I’m furious when people asked me out of concern on why I skipped my Thursday running exercise. I forgot sending a report and blamed myself for the whole week on that… In short, I almost can’t recognize myself.
Now I understand why people said that happiness is all about choice. You can have your life goes your way and still be scrutinizing every single imperfections. Or, you can decide to enjoy the present and be grateful about what you have – care less of what others think and listen to your own heart. I don’t know why I have chosen to be the grumpy type this week, but I don’t expect to keep it that way. Life becomes horrible when you except things to be horrible – This is the Self-fulfilling prophecy.
As the week draws to a close, my mood has been so much better :) despite remembering that I forgot to do some stuff earlier this week, I managed to restrain myself to go office. Haha… To err is human, no? :p Let’s reset the week on Monday and wish for a better ending next week! (currently listening to Reset by Charice and I’m loving her voice :D)
Btw! this week I was addicted to a new game in iPhone – Sushi Go Round. It kept me occupied for 3 days in the morning bus… but that’s about it. I finished the game on my third day and go back to my novel reading.
This week, there are another batch of interns joined our office in Alexandra. They will be around for 10 weeks. 4 from NTU + 1 from NUS. 4 guys + 1 girl. Now our lunch gang is becoming bigger and bigger :D on Friday we went to Pizza Hut for the lunch… 10 of us! Gosh. I got to chat with most of them… and I must say that they have impressive resume. Exchange in London, Double degree in 3.5 years, 2nd internship with the first one in BoA… they are all have so much to offer. I’m glad that I joined couple of years back when the competition wasn’t that tough. Haha… one thing that I have to start get used to? To see their surprised face & mouth saying “So old!” when they asked me about my graduation year T_T
Friday Lunch @ Pizza Hut, Harborfront - with youngsters
This Saturday and Sunday have been very relaxing. I did my monthly house cleaning on Saturday, then went for a buffet (T___T) at Joaquim, Suntec for Helios’ B’day. We got a 50% discount, thanks to the Groupon we purchased earlier. However, we’re just one of the 22,000 people who have bought the voucher. Winson and I reached the place at around 5pm and it was almost 7.30 when we finally managed to enter the buffet place. Phew! The steamboat is OK, but I really love the spring roll and pulut hitam. I regretted that I didn’t go for another helping yesterday v_v. haha.. talk about diet.
Jess and Fidel went all creative and created a special b’day cake for Helios, using the small cakes available at the buffet table. Lol.
The most customized cake so far - Kudos to Jess and Fidel
Happy Birthday Helios!
Back home, we watched half an hour of “Unbreakable”, then I decided to call it a day when I can’t even keep my head straight anymore.
Sunday, we went for badminton as usual. Back home, I played my weekly COD and SHS, dozed off for an hour, then start browsing and responding to mails. It’s almost 10pm now… and I need to get ready for tomorrow.
Before I close the blog, I would like to give my best wishes to my roomie, who is leaving for India tomorrow morning. All the best for the voluntary work!! And hope that you’ll enjoy the awaiting holiday at Australia afterwards =) Staying alone in the room for two months won’t be easy :( Will miss you badly…
Take care lots... and I will see you again this August!
