New week, New Hope

I am waiting for this Friday to tender my resignation. Finally it is here, and my decision has been made quite a while ago, and it will not change, I am sure. Meanwhile, working life is quite meaningless when there is not much to be done here. The main thing is that we have confidence in ourselves and our future. :P

Friday seems so long, but I know it will come finally.... sometimes, things just cannot be rush. Sunny hopes will come soon yo!

Enjoying to Relax..... Seriously

It has been a good weekend.

I have to proclaim that I have been able to take things more lightly recently. Yes, there are occasions that I have to be excited and there are moments of anxiety, we cannot avoid them, but we have to remind ourselves that they are part of our lives, and we have to accept them gracefully. When there is a moment of unhappiness, let it come if it is not worth the effort to avoid it. It will pass anyway, and if the outcome is not that detrimental, we just accept it gracefully. It is just part of our life, and we cannot escape it.

Today, I watched my favourite series Grey's anatomy, and I went for Bukit Timah hiking, jogging and grocery shopping at Fairprice Finest. It has been a fun day.... seriously. :)

I am on MC today

Physically, I was not feeling well today. Looks like I have to watch my diet today. Mentally, I am relaxed and happy to have a day of rest. I did not do anything much, or eat anything special, and it was just another normal day. I felt that as we grow older, our food intake really determines our health, and this is something we can control. For instance, the fibre and calcium we take per day. Well, for me, I tried to take more vegetables and fruits, as these are not really my favorites since young. However, over the years, you don't have a choice. Thus, going forward, I shall pay more attention to my food and exercise. Hmmmmm.....can I still take my junk food? Chips?

Good & Comfortable

In life, we set targets sub-conciously. Everyone of us wants a good and comfortable level but the extent of the goodness and comfort level differs. It is just like filling up a big box with your hopes comparing to filling up a small one. Have we been idealistic in always hoping for the best, and have we been asking for a flawless path? If so, perhaps, that explains our frustration. I have read the above many times, but yet, it is not easy to remember that. Perhaps next time when we are frustrated, we should bring ourselves back to reality, that perhaps the definition of "good and comfortable" life needs to be adjusted.

Yes, this is my second entry of the day but I can't help it :)

Unfortunate People Vs "Unfortunate" People

I felt bad for a friend who was dismissed without a valid reason. I felt that she is a capable lady, but it is quite unfortunate that she has a sour and incapable boss. Management of bosses is an important skill, but not easy. Sometimes, it is not worth the effort at all. Ultimately, bosses are also paid to work and defend their own interests. Thus, before we think we want to confide in our bosses (as if we trust them), do think again!

I think, the termination of the above friend's job is unfortunate. Which is worse? Having a boss that you cannot trust, or leaving the job without a job? In this friend's case, I suppose the loss is being asked to leave, which has a "face" issue. Otherwise, she has nothing to lose.

Essentially, the issue here is "pride". Is she really unfortunate? If we take away the "pride" issue, then the appropriate word should just be "unlucky". After all, it may still be a fortunate thing not to work under someone you cannot trust.

To this good friend of mine, move ahead, put the past behind you, take a rest, and you will realise that this is just another tiny episode of your life. It may seems easy for one to say so, I know, but then, that's the lesson of "recovery" and "acceptance".

Plans & Fun & Freedom

Over the last 4 days, what have I done? Nothing serious, nothing much either. Well, I supposed recently I have been taking life quite easy, and seriously, I did not do anything too serious. :) And the worst thing, I am almost trapped in the Fluff Race under the facebook.com. Hehehe

As for planning, I am also beginning to take one thing at a time, rather than planning too far ahead. Otherwise, I will fall in the "over-think" trap / misery again.

Overall, I have been happy, and suddenly I am hungry (for food and freedom).

Bukit Timah Hill

Hurray, I have climbed the highest hill in Singapore :) It took the 5 of us 100 minutes to walk up and down the hill (plus a detour for the path guide in the woods). It was inspiring and refreshing. Something new, and something different. Good for the body, soul and spirit definitely and it is certainly a good start for the weekend. Thereafter a feast at my "hometown" - ABC market, for my favourite wan ton noodles :)

To my friends out there, I would like to share this re-make of 1985 old song by 徳永英明 恋におちて-Fall in Love-
