While I was away....

What Facebook sent me after 4 weeks

910 Photo tags?! Hmmm....

I am very much in love with....

I can't help but really love their stuffs. The way they design their bags and things they look so fun and playful. Not mentioning the colours just made me feel so happy :)

 

Recently we repainted our bedroom cos HDB came in to do repair works. We took the opportunity to change the colour of our bedroom.

Make kids earn keep

Interesting article on how today parents teach their children about money sense and how a Professor from US gave his advices.

Monday Blues

Hmmm who ever said self-employed have no monday blues? I think is not true! 

Lately ever since the deliberate decision of not going to FB during the lent season, I was pretty much focus on it. There were times, I type "www.facebook.com" without me realizing when I launched my browser. My eyes & mouse cursor always got to quickly move to the "Close" button quickly in order not to view the feeds! Talked about addiction. Didn't realize my addiction to FB was rather severe! Finally in order not to give  in to temptation, I cleared all my browser cookies and the next time my subconscious mind or  auto reflex fingers keyed in "facebook.com", all I'll see will be the login page instead. It was rather depressing to hear live feeds from KgBook or RayBook or other ____Books you named it when you can't really go in and view what's happening.

Due to the strong commitment, I did get more productive at work and managed to be on the ball clearing as much works as possible. But it also got me abit overworked too! There were no "recreation" times for me after work. Cos all I did was work work work work! Kg at one point of time told me to perhaps "reward' myself to view FB only after working hours. Ha that almost got me to reconsider haha. But I decided not to give in and continue on with it. I think it was almost 3 weeks already! Time flies huh? But the amount of work stress seem to be quite overwhelmed at times and last Friday I've decided is enough! I should take a half day break for myself to do what I like to do!

Talked about being a workaholic, I never felt good leaving my laptop behind on weekdays and always carried around. Yet i really needed a break! So I thought of a way, charged my laptop battery full and headed out without my powerpoint cables! I found a quiet Starbucks corner and did my work for another 3 hours or as long the battery could last me. Finally the battery died and that's when my real quiet time began.

It takes a lot of discipline to say NO to work and give yourself time off. No wonder they said Singaporeans does not have sufficient rest and sleep cos all we do is work work work. Another 3 hours passed quickly when I did my QT and I definitely felt more refreshed (+ with a cup of green tea soy latte)

Now what should I do next? Should i join church camp or should i head to Vietnam to visit a good friend of mine ? :)

The travelling bug is here again :))

Catching Up

Sometimes i feel like a snail very slow in my learning. There are so much things to learn especially in my area of work. New things keep constantly appearing and the old ones are constantly being push behind.

Yet this is something I appreciate that my learning path never stop. It is never ending and testing my ability to push myself up to the next level. I often feel very good that I am able to accomplish something out of my usual scope.

Praying that God will continue to grant me wisdom and perseverance in this season of my work :)
