Dun have much to write about these days (I dun wanna write too much about work-related issues)

Was reading through my old entries, and found the trend of my entries getting shorter and shorter as time goes by. Is this the effect of being too busy with work? Or simply me can't be bothered to write too much?

Things have been moving so quickly for me (especially at work) that I dun have the luxury of slowing down my pace and taking the time to enjoy and sniff at the flowers along my journey.

Some random updates:
-> Been to KBox 3 times in the last 2 weeks. (pls avoid asking me to go again within the next 2 months)
-> Realised that staying in SG and being contactable while on vacation is a BIG NO NO.
-> Finally bought the watch that I have been waiting to buy ever since I started work last year (thanks to the GST hike that forced my hand)
-> Finally managed to snitch a extra 2 hour nap in the evening at home today (usual amount of sleep I get every night nowadays is about 5 hours or less) and I'm so happy about it.

PMS

Dunno whats wrong with me, getting more mood swings these days.

Really no mood to do anything, just want to have a break and breakaway from everything in life.

Tired..

Another weekend passed!

Just went to the Zoo on saturday with dear again, courtesy of the corporate pass from her company. It has been 9 months since we last visited the zoo.

It was pretty nice to see all the cute otters and meerkats again. And this time, the zoo had a new attraction, The Splash show. (dunno if this is the correct name for it)

Featured the "mermaid" (correct name is manatee. I seriously dunno how they got mistaken as beautiful mermaids. To say that is way off is an understatement), the penguins, and the sea lion. Due to the school holiday, the amphitheatre was packed and we have to stand all the way in front. And thanks to the naughty sea lion, everyone just in front of the stage literally got splashing wet.

Good to visit the zoo every now and then, especially when its complimentary.

Really feel like taking a long break from work!

Weekend is over before I know it

OMG, the weekend has passed me by before I know it...

Din really do much this weekend except cleaning up the bedroom and catching a lot of sleep.
Did not even get to play basketball cos there were too many people at the court on Sunday.

What a waste of a perfectly nice weekend to sleep it off just like that... Damned...

Weekend is almost here...

OMG, I'm still working at this hour...
Going to turn into walking zombie soon..

Grandma's Ok now

Grandma got discharged from hospital today. Think I should get everyone to bring her out for a walk or meal if possible. Probably this or next weekend, especially when bro is back, and before he flies off again to Germany.

Done a customer visit today together with my AE, and through my own analogies to the customers, then I unknowingly realised that the demo instrument I was using, was going to get a 1 month holiday in HK!! And I still do not have concrete holiday plans of my own! The instrument has got a better life than I do! Stupid isn't it. Ha ha ha.

Actually I felt a small sense of accomplishment today, that I'm starting to see myself slowly improving my presentation skills in today's visit. Guess I do like the attention that comes when I'm able to capture my audience's focus and click with them. Hopefully I'll get better and better as I grow more and gain more experience.

Just saw the most disgusting thing that can ever happen to my stuff in my room. Why must this happen on Monday?.... I still have to wait through the entire week to get some time during the weekend to clean up the whole room... damned.... dun even feel like sleeping in my room now...

~~~

Oh ya, watched Spidey 3 on Sunday with dear. Pretty good show, but it was a bit over-elaborate on the drama and love scenes. I mean come on, guys watch Spidey mainly to see all those web swinging and bish bashing stuff, not too much lovey dovey stuff. I liked the final fight though, a mass fight with plenty of action. Reminds me of the good old video games (dun get to play em anymore...)

I need some rest!

I still have much to learn in my job. Still not being efficient enough, ending up having to work/read till late every night, which isn't the right way to do things.

A colleague told me that having enough sleep is critical in our line, so that we will have the focus n concentration to chiong at work in the day.

Some times when we are overwhelmed by tons of work, it is easy to overlook such simple stuff. The old way of doing things simply cannot adequately address my increasing workload & stress. I must change my old mindset of sacrificing sleep for work.


Visited grandma again after work today. Think she looks a lot better now, and can talk more to me already. I hope she can recover quickly and get discharged from the hospital. Though I was never really that close to grandma, but the look of despair and resignation in her eyes when i see her so bored and lonely in the hospital ward really pains my heart. I guess it hurts her even more when other patients always have large groups of people visiting and she has few or none.

I really love to see her eyes light up whenever I mention something that makes her happy. It really brings me comfort to be able to know that she is happy whenever we do something for her, irregardless of how simple the task is. Looking forward to bring her out for dinner when she can return home!

Hope Grandma will be ok

Grandma has been going in n out of hospital with alarming frequency recently. I really hope that nothing bad will happen to her this time. Though I'm not particularly close to her, but afterall she is my grandma, and I hope that she will be able to see her grandsons get married.

I'm on quota with effect from this month on, so life and work will gather even more speed as I work harder to let my career take off!

Still haven managed to catch Spider3 yet...
