update update
finally have the time to update after finishing some work. the brain refuses to stop working see, even though the eyes are incredibly tired.
people often ask me, so how's work so far? to be fair and honest, i think it is going on well thus far, and it is challenging, as with all jobs, but there are many pluses. for instance, it is a really good time to be working for the government now! no but seriously, the job scope is sufficiently challenging, and while there are peaks where we work late, it is not something that one forms into a chronic habit, so there is still quite good work-life balance. there is good exposure. and i think i have no basis of comparison, and being the optimistic person that i am i still think this is "good". yup so that summarises my answer to the burning question that people ask.
how's my life now? um, view above. haha, my life's degenerated into work & taekwondo and phone calls. oh and i shouldn't forget running. (i am very upset about my half marathon timing, but it's ok. this just means i have to run faster and stronger for the adidas sundown marathon). i am so glad to be doing taekwondo again since this really is my first sporting love, more than running. it really trains your mind, flexibility and endurance. and the learning never ends. i look at my sir and wonder if i will ever attain his level of proficiency in tkd. (at 50+, he can still do a split. i find that mighty impressive.)
but my life should get better! it's december after all, so many people are on leave and work slows down a little. plus plus plus, the boy is coming back tomorrow (about 12 hours in fact) so i am very pleased. so my quality of life will improve greatly. hurhur. not trying to be romantic as my colleagues reminded me i should get a gift for him to show my appreciation. however knowing his interests, i might go bankrupt first before i get what he REALLY wants (a ferrari, btw) to me, between a toy version, a fake version, and some exquisite egg tarts from red star, the choice is very clear.
ok i am rattling on and on now, time for bed. boss is still checking emails! argh.
