Two.:.Four.:.Six

I've always been a last minute person. In the family, I'm known to be the one who will only dash in the final lap and eventually make it to the finishing line. While it seems quite effortlessly for me most of the time, I lost many opportunities of doing better. I always think and know I'm capable of better if only I have tried harder and earlier. Yet, I just let it be. That's why I never blame anyone but myself. I'm my own competitor. Although I must say my current job and boss have pushed me further. I'm not as last minute as before and I'm more time and deadline pressurized over the years. I haven't been quite at ease the past few weeks because of the events happening next week and next month. The good thing is I'm almost there and I can't wait to reach the finishing line.

I didn't recover on Monday. Was coughing STILL throughout the week but I think I'm FINALLY done with it. Very soon. Bless the Chinese medicine :) Last week was one with tension, high level of stress and new challenges. I really have to be more mindful of my words. Often easily misunderstood, misinterpreted. Yesterday was fun though. S and I spent half a day searching for work stuff, from Jurong East to Clementi to Alexandra we went but weren't too lucky, boo hoo. Ended the day with cycling at East Coast, dinner at Jumbo (which wasn't too expensive) and an impromptu durian feast! with the girls at work. It was a surprisingly good outing and quite a while since I last did something together with a bunch of colleagues. And you know it's good when people thanked you for organising and were talking about the next one. I hardly succeed in organising something for a big group of people so this is quite something and I'm looking forward to the next. Really...

this is my 567th post - just something random. i've been sick the entire week - fever on Mon, sore throat on Tues, runny nose on Wed, super blocked nose on Thur, cough + blocked nose on Fri and today, I'm still unwell.... and guess what? I worked throughout the week. Am I hardworking or what? i should be well when Mon comes :) going for my overdue haircut later and can't quite decide what i want to do with those boring locks. i'll end up looking the same anyway. never thought i would be so happy saying this - Feb is finally a travel-free month! the new place is coming together and i'm simply too excited. just short of the few items and we are almost complete. march, will you arrive sooner? have a great weekend everyone!
