My thoughts for the night

Tonight I had a lovely dinner with 2 girlfriends, both from my workplace. It was a lovely quiet meal, to celebrate our belated birthdays, and also to catch up. It was a good few hours break from work to break free from the stress, the complaints, and the many issues at work. I felt that I really
could kick back and relax.

During the dinner, we chatted about many things, and among them are how we should do the right things at the right age, and also to do it right. Jo, was the one who gave us a lot of advices throughout the dinner. It was interesting to hear her stories, her life, and how simple things in her everyday life gives her satisfaction. She is a successful businesswoman, and yet behind that suit, she is a simple lady who appreciates simplest things in life. I came back with a lot of thoughts in my mind. I thought about the many things that I would love to do, and been putting it off as it is almost impossible to find them to complete it. I am angry at how I have became a statistic, in the group that responds " Oh, I don't have the time" , which I myself used to think that it is a silly excuse.
By working 14 hours a day, and 6 days a week, and at times 7 days, it is almost impossible to find the energy and time to have a hobby, do sports or even cook! There must be someway to find a work balance, and I am working my way to plan that out.

It's time to take a pen and paper to jot these down ( I am a conventional girl, no ipads and digital notes :) )
But for now, it's also time to say Good Night!

Hello again!

It's been 2 months since I last wrote, when I was battling my emotions with work and with my grandmother's condition. The hours in each seems to zoom past without me noticing, and all of a sudden I find myself sitting here and staring at October on my CIMB calendar.

Today, I am still battling with the mixed emotions at work, well, more of the long hours at work. As for Grandma, I am happy because she has recovered and looking much better. Last month, we had a dinner to celebrate her birthday, and she was looking so radiant and happy. Last Sunday, exactly a month from that dinner, we were in Bukit Tinggi having a family dinner, and she could remember Alicia, and also things from her childhood.

This is life.. as much as things are difficult and stressful, there will always be a silver lining to it, something that you can look back , and it puts a smile to your face..

And here's to everyone who puts a smile to my face..
