another 10 hrs or so, i will be back in the stuffy, stale-air office…
another 10 hrs or so, i shall not be able to wake up to another lazy day…
argh…even though i probably won’t have much work to do in the officefor this coming week…but still….SIANZ loh…

2 colleagues will be leaving soon…whom i had worked very closely with…sigh…i would not say it’s the feeling of sadness…every individual has his/her way to move forward…it’s just that no more chances of working with people who are so familiar with one another and who have gone through stuff/”hardships” together…就是遗憾吧…
and when there are people leaving…it will always set me, and i believe other people too, thinking about my own stay in this company…
but it’s still not the time yet for me lah, i guess…i still need to save up more money 1st from working in this company…and really…even though sometimes can be so tiring and 没日没夜, but it’s still so far the more flexible job around…(i think lah…haha…)

我的工作宗旨由始至终都是一样的,就是尽我本分把该做的工作做好/完,和最重要赚钱…
工作而已嘛,有多复杂?

hmm…
is it becos i will soon be going back to work that i suddenly find myself sneezing hard away, using lots of tissues to clear my nose, and feeling tired with tearing eyes?
is it becos i will soon be going back to work that my body decides to kick up a fuss and reminds me that my GOOD life will be ending soon?

sigh…
the GOOD life is really going to end soon…days of waking up with no hurry to go to work, days of lazing around and 发呆-ing, days of doing stuff at a slow pace…left with only 3 days…WHAT??!! 3 DAYS??!!! goodness! xiao liao loh…can countdown with 3 fingers liao…

just now, i had a taste of how tai-chi is like…wah…dun play play ar…all slow movements but actually not easy to do leh…
felt a bit funny doing it cos the students all seem to know their steps perfectly well…and also very obviously i am the youngest person in the whole group…haha…
all along i know tai-chi is an exercise that is really good for the health in the long run, so i have always thought of trying that out…
dunno leh…dunno if i will still want to continue…hmm…

i have been settling some “stuff” regarding my finances, and these two days spending some time arranging and understanding more…and i actually feel a slight satisfaction within me, cos i know i am doing something, planning with some intention (hoping lah)…there are some aspects i do wish i can make the changes, but well, bobian, think i am stuck, so well, never mind lah, at least i know i am really going to put in much more attention…i am quite glad with whatever i have progressed so far, and especially when i have really put more thoughts into my so-called future…

from today’s zaobao: 慢活提倡的,是在“慢”和“快”之间取得平衡,就像休息是为了走更长远的路,放慢脚步可以让人看清方向。

the above is from a book 《慢活》,In Praise of Slow, and i have that book! in the chinese version. i bought it in hk when i was there doing city by night…i thought it was an interesting book, and very enlightening…i din know i bought a book that is such well acclaimed…hmm…i sure know how to select books…hehehe…

and i do realise i have adopted, though not very obvious, a somewhat slower approach towards life…of cos to be really slow is impossible lah…but at least i do remind myself to try to take things at a slightly slower pace…

or is it becos due to my age??? hmm….good point also…sigh…
