Like how life is supposed to be a roller coaster…
I have to pay last week awesomeness with this week ‘s working-like-hell. T_T Everyday I reached back home & sleep at 1am++, woke up early, & felt sleepy, worked longer due to suboptimal brain, and the vicious cycle continues until end of the week. Thanks god I finally had a sound sleep until 11am for Saturday.
I’m expecting myself to be spending my Sunday in the office, so I decided to blog earlier :)
Mum, Dad, and sis went to Penang for check-up and treatment this week… things are OK and they are now back to hometown. Just finished an hour call with mum and dad, and I can feel their tiredness from the way they speak :( Hope that they will feel more energized after couple more weeks.
There are so many people going for holiday (this is one of the reasons for my madness week in office! !@#$ to my colleague who went off without proper handover to me!!) and it makes me kind of start looking on my own holiday plan.
I have applied for 2 weeks leave at the end of August during the Idul Fitri period… thinking that I can maybe go back home or having short holidays with friends. But alas, I just heard that my parents are going to Australia during this period, and my friends might not be available as those travel planners just got a new job and still in probation period T_T Not sure what I’m going to do with my two weeks of break. My parents suggested me to change my leave to Dec, but that clashes with my boss’ planned leave… and anyway I love office in December!! It’s heaven for slackers. Haha.. maybe I will just go for marathon training during my august break.
After august, I also applied for another two weeks leave for end of October. This one is really for vacation with family. My sister has helped to book Medan – SG tickets for my parents… :D Now the only thing left to do is to book for a tour. I have been waiting for more than couple of months now, but none of tour schedule is out for October yet :( Guess I have to wait until end of August for Natas Fair.
I’m still not used to staying alone. My discipline goes all the way down the hill. I have a messed up sleeping & waking up time :( Guess I’m not the type who can stay in a single room.
I finished the novel “Why Do We Have to Live with Men”.. erm.. it’s 2 out of 5 stars. The story was kind of plain and it doesn’t live up to its title ^^; The story started with the girl broke up with her bf, then try to move on in 6 weeks, finally she succeed and found a new bf. The end. Sigh. I’m now looking for a new novel, hope that the next one won’t be heavy (literally) as the previous one.
Last Friday, I had a farewell dinner for my team member in Rang Mahal @ Pan Pacific. He was my director when I was in asset management IT, and we met again when he joined core banking. When asked of what he intended to as he went back to NY, he said he had nothing figure out yet. He might decide to retire but that’s all still open. He just said that he needed a break for a while, as the life in Singapore is too stressful. Haha…
Well, I saluted him for being able to see and pull the break to this. The decision to move from one country to another is not easy: child education, time, future, etc, but he managed it through. I hope that one day, if needed to, I will be able to do the same with myself… to have a direction for my own life and not just go with the current only because it’s the easiest way out.
Ok, enough blabbering. The sky has been gloomy for the whole day but I don’t care! I’m going for SCE Gathering now! Garuda Padang Buffet. Woohoo!
Till next week,
ED
