The other day I came across the best quote EVER:
Banks are places where they lend you an umbrella in fair weather and ask for it back when it rains.
ROFLMAO. How clever is that! And how true! I wish I thought of it.
Anyway, I am a much happier girl today because:
- The nasty flu bug is almost gone. Yippee! No more medicine making me sleep for 12 hours. -__-;;
- Granny was discharged from hospital this afternoon, after less than 24 hours. It was nothing serious after all.
- EB’s coming back to SG tonight.
- I finally went to Ikea today for field research. I love that store. Can I like, live there?
- Got the course registration for next semester over & done with after having such a hard time choosing the modules.
- Only 1 more project deadline ahead!
- Tomorrow is Monday!
I’ve missed going to work. (Did I just say that?)

And I mean seriously lazy. I haven’t been concentrating on my tasks at work, nor completing my readings as scheduled, nor working on my assignments when I’m supposed to, nor filling in my daily Korean vocabulary list. Instead, I’ve been doing things I want to do, like watching movies / dramas / variety shows, reading travel guides, and all sorts of unproductive things. Seems like I’m experiencing one of those downtimes where I just wanna let go of my life for a while & drift.
I know it’s only been weeks since the Malaysia trip, but I feel like I need another getaway already. Or at least, some time off for me to refresh & recharge. But it doesn’t look like that can happen. Only 3 weeks to go till the school semester ends. A month to go till exams. Why the hell am I always counting down to something?!
(Frustrated, I am. Now I realise it.)
I want a sabbatical off work. Actually, I’ve been toying with the idea of having a short one around the time of my last semester in uni. Maybe a two-month long sabbatical – any longer & I’d be bored out of my mind, not to mention broke – for me to concentrate on finishing my honours project, then spend the time that’s left on travel & rest. Sounds good, right? But that’s that. I need a break NOW, really. In the past two years or so, there hasn’t been a single week where I could put life on pause & do whatever I wanted. I’m just so TIRED, mentally & physically.

In an attempt to lead a healthier lifestyle & get off our lazy butts (for YB & me, at least), the girls & I are starting our (what would hopefully be) weekly swimming outings this weekend. I just hope the weather, with its recent huffy mood swings, would be kind to us.
For weeks now I’ve felt like doing something different in my life. Maybe this whole making-swimming-a-regular-activity will be it.

Today I had the worst cramp attack in a long while. I was immobilised for two hours. Just lay sprawled on my bed with a hot water bottle, gritting my teeth. It was so painful I actually cried. I hope that’s the last of the cramp attacks. Can’t afford to have any more of them while at work tomorrow.
Apparently, my boss is taking the team out for a birthday dinner at the end of the month. Three of us, including yours truly, have birthdays in October. I really was just kidding that time when I said he’d have to take us out to celebrate our birthdays. Ehehe. But he’s really doing it! Oops.
Two more deadlines & 5 more days, and the semester will be over. Hurrah! I’ll still have the certificate course I’m taking at The Open University UK, but that’s purely online & not part of my degree course, so officially school’s out on Friday! I’ve promised myself to go get a life next weekend, so that I shall do.
Really, I cannot even remember the last time I watched a movie. Never mind about the cinema, but not even on DVD.

Today was the public launch of aLP in Korea. And… It was a SUCCESS! What a relief.
God knows how the team slogged for this project. For me, personally, it’s the craziest one I’ve ever been through. Tested my physical, emotional & mental limits it did. Read the rest of this entry »

The medication I’m on is nasty. Makes me hella drowsy. I’ve been having a hard time waking up for sahur. And I’m at work now, falling asleep at my desk. Maybe I should take a nap seeing how I’m all alone in this office…
It feels like my brain is here but my mind is absent. I am DAZED, man… I’m gonna tell Louis that I need to leave early today…

Came across a funny quote today (from Quotes of the Day):
“I phoned my dad to tell him I had stopped smoking. He called me a quitter.” – Steven Pearl
Hahahaha. Isn’t that a riot? Or maybe my sense of humour is just skewed. There are many things that people don’t find funny but I can laugh at till my sides hurt.
It’s official. I am SICK. Sigh. My throat & windpipe feel sore, so I can’t breathe or swallow normally. Yuck. The past 2 times I saw my doctor he told me to stay away from oily & spicy food, but how do I do that for long? (“Long” here being more than a couple of days.) I’m too used to eating whatever I like. And I’m supposed to fatten up! I can’t be eating only fruits & tofu or whatever.
I think I’ll be on medical leave tomorrow. Thank God for my many medical leave days.
