Simple Pleasures

simple pleasures'That's it?! Tell me more, like what activities are you gonna engage in?'

Nothing? That's what was going through my mind. That was just a conversation about what we're gonna do during this long weekend.

I like having open-ended plans. Just fix a location to meet up with friends and make do with whatever we have there or can even do there. If any case that we really get bored, we can just move to another place a few hrs later! And i don't like meeting too many groups of friends in a day. Besides the fact that i don't have THAT many groups to
Reese's peanut butter cupsmeet up with, i feel that i won't be enjoying as much cos there'll be just so little time with each group of ppl and i'll be thinking of the next appt because i don't want to be late.

What looks so ordinary could actually be some delectable treat! Food philosophy which extends to life as well. i got a pack from my colleague today! yay! which totally made my day! and it's a short week next week! Yippee! Simple pleasures of life: Reese's!

death

what would you do, if you knew that it was your last day on earth? take a plane to US to gain one more day? reality is that you can't even predict what's going to happen next. life's boring? in this sense, i don't think so. life's boring cos we make it boring.

i flipped the straits times today and this first ten pages reported death. actually, it's been something like that for the past week already, with the exception on Man Utd's win in the English Premier League.

Confirmation

bakaa 008Instead of feeling elated, i felt weighed down. Expectations of me will just keep rising and I'm afraid i won't be able to keep up to them. Frankly at this point of time, I'm not happy with my work performance at all. And i don't know how to get over it. I'm not exactly at the point of drowning. It's just the premonition of the iceberg in front of the vessel. Will i be able to steer the vessel clear away from the iceberg? Will i be able to scale that high wall that's in front of me? Perhaps the wall seems high because i'm too near it. I should take a step back.

unwind

a tea table, a slice of cake and a cup of coffee. 2 deck chairs. tea-light holder with a candle inside. accompanied with a good storybook or the laptop or nothing even. lying on the deck chair with sunglasses on, soaking in the afternoon sun, if it's in the day. staring at the night sky, finding the orion belt, if it's at night. my ideal unwind.

boring work stuff

work wouldn't be called work if there weren't any datelines. they'll probably be called 'for leisure' or 'in-your-free-time' stuff. just like how work done = force x perpendicular distance, ie. if you carry a box while the lift is going up, you're not doing any work. even though that box could be super heavy or 10x heavier than you! point is, there are constraints to help define what work is.

i wonder if i was my colleague, how would i view me? do i look like someone who does work fast? or do i look like a slacker? or someone who does work slowly and hence looks busy most of the time? what other scenarios do we have?

sometimes i think about what i've accomplished and it seems so little. but i could take a whole day to do it! and i was really into it! sometimes, the day really drags and you don't really know how to fill your time. i've found a way - because sometimes i'm really busy. really really busy. my inbox is super disorganised. on days that i'm super free, i use the time to organise my inbox. voila, at least 2 hrs gone.

-i thought i should remove what i've previously written as it isn't very nice. i can't help comparing myself with others. i should just fight with myself instead of always looking around. i'm bound to bang into something if i continue doing that.Lord, help me!- author edited this post on the 12th of May.
