Everyday I go back feeling extremely drained. And every morning starts knowing that it will end like that again. I expected working life to be something like a community working closely together to plan, to create and to put all those exciting ideas into some sort of event or right-in-your-face concrete result like how the Wright brothers created their plane. Ok, so obviously I haven't worked before. Now I've gotten a rude shock of a reality check. And after comparing notes, it seems quite the same in many other places. So perhaps this is the nature of working life after schooling. Is this what our 16++ years of education boil down to?


But of course, everyone has different coping mechanisms. To break out of the monotonous working days, my aunties will always find some place to travel right smack in the middle of work. Too bad I'm not earning big fat bucks. So I've found a cheap way to handle it - produce endorphins by gymming and destress by having family dinners!! Besides making yourself happy, it comes with good side effects like losing loads of weight and helps you to fulfill your.. whatever social/self-actualization/security needs from Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs!


Getting a bit nervous too. My dad signed me up for this Sarconi Run coming up this Sunday. So what that means is that I need to run 10km when I only have been to the gym ONCE during school term. OMG. Guess that was all the motivation I needed to get disciplined again. Kept on going to the gym the last 2 weeks. But I never had enough time to reach 10km on the treadmill. So I'll just have to pray hard and drink lots of Livita on Sunday.


Yvette should be back in Singapore today! YAY can't wait to meet up with her again =D. It's surprising how we still meet even though it's been like almost 9 years since she left. The holidays are still good. At least we have guilt-free weekends to hang out with friends. Like my dear IJ nanaheads!! And SMUX peeps!! And hostel peeps!! And cj peeps!! Sijia should be coming back really soon too! And it's quite a good (or sinful) thing that it all falls within GSS =D.

I want this shirt before my 21st birthday.

By the way, that's my dad's side of the family.
30-50+ years old.
Wonder if I can do all these when I reach that age..

Ok, I think I have actually succeeded in pushing some of those "balloons" away at this stage. Blogging and that nice destressing family dinner helped.

and you think you can set a limit on me?
