F1 weekend

Attending the F1 for the first time was definitely cheap thrill.

Spending time with loved 1s was definitely much better.

Living on the edge

It's been a while since I made spontaneous decisions. These days I plan my calendar right down to the minute and weekends are pretty well planned.

This F1 jay chou weekend is like fresh rain in spring. Very refreshing and got me feeling ever so excited about life - the way it should be.

Thanks sandy and Ernest for making this happen. :)

Smart move, or not?

The most valuable lesson I have learned in the workplace and how it will help our future careers... 'tis the topic that I'm supposed to spend 3 minutes talking about in about 7 hours' time which I have absolutely no idea what to talk about.

I haven't given much thought to this.

This week has been kinda difficult. I'm going to move out of this place we called home for the past 16 months. Tonight is the last night and I'm alone.

Memories of when we first set foot in this apartment (with the '80s renovation), memories of how we tore the place down and renovated all over; memories of the conversations and the meals here; doing things which we don't give a care about the world about because this is home. Memories gushed.

I'm entitled to do whatever I want here.

Now all this is going to change.

And I wonder if this is a smart move at all.

Now I really need to prep for that 3-min speech, with swollen eyes.

Duty calls

The spell has been broken - we didn't manage to keep our nightly calls going.

The calls that dragged on didn't matter as much.
So why couldn't I just drop the line citing bad connection, on-the-road, need to go save the world?

Really - how did I get my priorities screwed up?

I couldn't sleep last night.

Do you ever get this feeling...

...of feeling out of sorts.
Feeling you've gone down a rabbit hole, and know not what's in front of you.
Feeling really really blue and everything else looks black and white.
Feeling like a fish out of water.

I've been feeling that, and I can't seem to shake it off.

Great coworkers

I recently came across Penelope Trunk's website when hf shared her happiness project, and the theory of having friends vs. Vulnerability.

She has now become my read during my incomprehensible statistics class.

I especially liked this one today:

"Your assistant is not someone whose top priority is to do the job you don't want to do.

He or she should be someone you want access to because their presence improves your day; someone you have always wanted to make your workday great."

I wish I had been that someone to somebody. Though so far, it seems that an assistant is primarily an extra pair of hands for somebody.

Whirlwind weekends

Just 3 months ago, I was talking about getting my diving course done.

In an unexpected turn of events, I did.

And what an unforgettable experience it was!

I wish I had more time to reflect on the whirlwind events that happened since July....

Leadership Residential Program

Experential Learning Program (Camp)

Diving @ Malapascua

Mad rush of lectures and homework and lectures and homework

Activity-filled weekends

Moon Party/BBQ @ John's private roof top

Macau holiday @ Presidential suite in Venetian

And I'm about to embark on a new adventure soon.

Can't wait!
