Back to normal

Ming left for Hong Kong today and my life gets back to normal.

I am down with flu. Haven't been that sick for a long time. Must be due to lack of workout and too much unhealthy food.

Now, I have to put myself together and work hard. New management will be on board soon. A lot more of bull shit is needed to impress the new boss.

Paycheck

I got my paycheck today and I don't feel I deserved it.

Talking to a new found friend today about booking flight. I told her that I must seat at the aisle. The reason is, I have to be in total control of staying or leaving my seat anytime I like. I was not aware until I was on the way home today that the idea actually reflected my view of life.

In life, I feel such a strong urge to leave my "seat" and take a walk. To stretch my legs and get freshen up. My muscle crams; My brain is not working. I need new inspiration, new ideas, new motivation and new goal in life.

I wanted to unbuckle and step out so much, but there are too many constraints and ocncerns. I am working hard to settle the issues, then I am free. That day is not too far away.

Long time no see

Dear friends,

I haven't been updating my blog for a long time. There are few reasons.

I am working real hard with my GMAT. The mock test result was not satisfactory and I better put more effort in my revision. Sigh... may be I have ran out of luck in exams...

My test will be taken place in October 2nd (which I have postponed for 2 weeks by paying USD50).

I am spending as much time as I could with my lovely sister. She is my best buddy. She is going to return back to Mancester soon and I am not going to see her until next summer probably.

Forgive me for not writing as frequent. There are other priorities on hand right now.

20 years of experience VS one year experience repeated 20 times

I wanted to write on this topic for a long time. Weeks ago, I came across this idea from two unrelated people. It just inspired me to think about my career.

Wonderful moment?

I should read more. Hope I can become more interesting as a result.

200th entry

Here is a picture of the flower I gave to a new found friend as birthday present.

Today, I spent total upto an hour at the florist to QC the arrangement. I appreciated the process as much as the result. Dealing with demanding customer like me, the florist business can barely make profit. So, I decide to own a florist only after I retired with plenty of money (instead of spending on the Latin dance instructor). Of course, I would hire specialists to do the flower arrangement. I could just stand by them, and give instruction without getting my hands dirty.

Time to go to bed. Dream on...

The most unromantic thought I have ever had

Prepare a "resume" for my first date with guys. Just list down my personalities and hobbies, my shoes and ring sizes, etc.

Well, such "unromantic" idea bears the same effect as speed dating, S.D.U., match making agent and match.com. This is a sign of desperation, a sign of realise the fact that I am getting old.

I found myself not "sophisticated" enough cos' there isn't much interesting for me to talk about. I guess, I could be considered as boring.

Wait, is simple the complexity?
