又是关于工作

最近工作相当忙碌。工作开始堆积，如果不赶快应付，过一阵子就会演变成堆积如山的状况。我只能尽力而为，一样一样来处理。倘若乱了阵脚，也无济于事。现在，我正忙里偷闲，哈哈！！ 竟然写起blog来了！虽然老板就在我附近，我还是挺而走险。那是因为我真的需要休息一下啊。

最近的思绪，好像都与工作有关。在这里写的东西，也似乎跟工作一样没有什么情感，更别说上什么幽默感啦。（我本来就不是很幽默哦！！） 可能我又需要精神粮食！或者也可能处于我们相当金钱挂帅的社会，难免会被工作压力、金钱理财、等等实现问题而围绕着。反而忽略了一些较细腻的事情吧。

不过，还不算太糟糕啦。目前比较规律的生活，让我比较有精力面对工作。早睡早起，定时运动，已渐渐变成习惯。也因为运动，我比较可以面对压力，也更容易平缓自己的情绪。我喜欢这样的我，没那么容易被压力大倒，比较能控制脾气。

其实.... 今天的思绪也不是完全关于工作啦。 哈哈！！

Recently... at work

Recently, I have been rather busy. My work is piling up, but I think there should be solutions to everything I need to do on my desk. The only thing is how long I will take to settle them. The past 1-2 weeks at work had been busy, and had not much time to think twice before taking any steps forward. Perhaps that might be a good thing too. Sometimes thinking too much might be an obstacle to moving forward and making progress.

But as a born-thinker (or rather born-worrier) I start to think a lot the moment I slow down. Fortunately, this time round, the thinking process helps me to see clearer of what I might want to do in the near future.

Besides work piling up, I had been receiving angry calls from client and engineers, who would just start shouting in the phone venting their anger the moment I said hello.


Recently ... at leisure

Well, on a lighter note, I found some new interest / hobbies recently. I enjoyed all of these tremendouly and lots of joy doing them.

Firstly, a gym membership has driven me to exercise 3 times a week so far. Besides working out on the machines, I enjoyed my first yoga class and pilates class. After the class, I always feel very at ease with everything. I must say I enjoy fitness and being active. Besides keeping fit, I now have more regular sleeping hours, better appetite, sleep well, and drinking more water.

Secondly, I finally get my hands to work creatively and artistically again. Although I miss the painting classes I had years back, I decided to just try something different this time. Buddy and I are back doing ceramic arts. Actually, we had intended to sign up for basic pottery class. However, due to the lack of explanation on the PA's website, we signed up for a more advance pottery class! We had to learn throwing, which I believe to be a more advance ceramic art level. Well, we struggled during our 2 hours there last week. Let's see if we can manage it better this week. We might even struggled more today... haha! Even though it is difficult, it would help to make one a more patient person. It is like an art for the soul... which again, I enjoy.

I wish I am there now.

today 10 Jan 2007

Gambatae!!

My little brother is going into NS tomorrow. He seems rather excited. I guess that's good as a happy beginning will be a great ending too. Hopefully his 2 years in NS will be fruitful and exciting. I think my parents will miss him a lot though. hehe!!


Work

Well, work is ... as usual. There are a number of phone calls, there are lots of things to do, there are a few problems waiting for solutions etc. But I am taking things one step at a time. I wonder if the work is actually giving me headache or is it that I'm really going to get a flu soon. Anyway, hopefully it will go away tomorrow!

Though I made a pact with myself to be a proactive worker, and be passionate about my work, I must say I let myself down a little today. hee!! There were moments when I sat and just stared into space! Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day!


Others

It feels kind of strange not visiting my elderly friends today. It is as if I didn't complete something today. I guess maybe they have become part of my everyday life. Even though I didn't visit them today, I actually received a gift from Uncle Lim! Uncle lim, Gam Siah ah. hehe!! It is really sweet of him, always finding things from his fridge to feed us. Today's gift was really unexpected.


Goodnight!
Midnight soon! goodnight! ... I don't really want to get sick, so I got to fight the flu bug tonight!

getaway before the new year

I went on a short getaway just before the new year commenced. It was enjoyable and I definitely had my ideal getaway just was I wanted it to be. One might wonder if Malacca is indeed so enjoyable. Well, she has her beauty that is unique, and that inspires me a great deal.

What is most unforgettable? well, what else but the chendol which we actually ate 5 times when we were there for only 3 days! hehehe!
