Take Me Away, Please
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I haven't rested properly for several Sundays already. Today was no exception. With less than 5 hours of sleep, I was out of the house at 8ish to meet my guys at RP for project. It didn't turned out that well, with impatience, or rather frustration built towards that new member. Sometimes, I wish I could do the same thing to him as what I did towards Vanessa. I caused her to repeat one module.
The project lasted for 4 hours before I decided to call it a day. I picked Gerrie and the gang up and we joined the others at Vivo. Despite having stomach flu, I braved it all. The salad was absolutely gorgeous. I mean, I don't quite understand why would anyone pay $10 for greens when you might as well pluck some off the ground for free. But I can't say the same for the one served at ST. Salmon, swordfish and tuna were littered around the dish. What a pretty sight! I called it the 'Japanese Yu-Sheng'.
Donny & gang didn't quite appreciate the scallop but me and Gerrie really dig that dish. But each to his own. I didn't like the soft-shell crabs. Lunch took 2 hours before the group broke up. With the rest heading towards home or the pool centre, the 6 of us continued shopping. Grace got the 'Devil Wears Prada', which I hope she would lend to us soon! Gerrie and I found some treasure. Used vcds! We got 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith', 'About a Boy' and 'Intolerable Cruelty'.
I was standing alone at the railings while the gang were shopping. As I mentioned earlier, I haven't got much time to do my stuff. You dig what I mean... lying on my bed reading novels, listening to music. I don't even have time to trim the brows, nor read anything. But the thing that is really nagging inside is the lack of time spent at home, especially with my dad. But I'm keeping a positive mindset because I know God provides and heals.
The department is reorganising in another week. Seriously, I don't know how I could cope with the autoloan and home loan enquiries. I'm just glad I am assigned to do investigation work and only to pick up spillover calls.
I would be finishing school and my contract in July, which spells another crossroad. Vivo overlooks the logistics infrastructre the c0untry has. Sometimes, I do wonder was it a mistake to give up the previous job. It may be boring but the bonuses were the saving grace.
I'm not too worried about what I would be doing in the next 5, 10, 2o years. Would just follow the path the Lord shows me.
It's been a long time since we took a holiday. Hope my leaves get approved soon.
It would be nice to visit Australia. I would like to see the Blue Mountains and the 12 Apostles.
Lolx, if money remains a constraint, Bintan would be a good choice too. =)
I have took notice of how many couples spend little time with each other. I think of the number of years a couple would have to spend for the rest of their lives. But there are also many couples who still long for each other despite having attached for a number of years.
This is an article which shows the secrets to a happy marriage. Enjoy. I'd like to add one thing though: Do what your partner enjoys. If she likes shopping, shop with her, not stand outside the shop. Doing something together builds a relationship. But of course, there must be some compromise in place.
Night.
