First week of 2013!

Last week, it was all about “The Last” – Last Friday Lunch, Last Badminton, Last Gym, Last Meeting, Last Free Starbucks of 2012, it went all the way to the silly events like last bus ride and even last coffee.

This week, it’s all about “The First”! – First Working Day, First Call, First Badminton, and of course, First Blog of 2013!

First week in office has been tiring. It’s a huge difference between the last week of 2012 vs the first week of 2013. Everyone is back to office and goes crazy in scheduling meetings.

Jan, 2 – Managed to drag myself up and went to Body Pump. I was in denial mode on the first day of work. I think everybody was. I couldn’t accept that my precious December is over! I was willing to give anything to bring back the last week of Dec. And Alas, we started this year with WED, which means I have my regular 9-10pm call.

Wed's Lunch - Free Soup Spoon from a NYR bet. I love this Thai Vermicelli dish!
Jan, 3 – Hit my first 10km jog for the New Year. Planned my holiday for the Q1 of 2013. At least it gave me something to look forward to. 1 week of holiday at the end of Jan! 10 days of holiday at beginning of Feb! I felt much better, but my mood went down the hill again when I realized that I had another meeting planned until 10pm T_T

Thurs' Lunch - Decided to go for Indian food after craving for it for so long :D
Jan, 4 – I knew for sure that I will have to stay until at least 7pm, but I didn’t expect to have ad-hoc call scheduled at 9pm on FRIDAY night. I intended to decline the invitation, but I know it will hit me back next week, so I decided to just get it done and dealt with this week itself. At least I managed to join Body Combat before coming back for the call.

Friday's Lunch - Treated Ichiban Boshi - Thanks so much Christine!
To conclude, I had 3 sinful meals, 3 light workouts, and 3 OTs for the first week.  Maybe that's what "living life to the fullest" means.

Lets see what next week brings!
