I haven't had the time to post about KL since I came back on Saturday night. Well in short, it's a lot of shopping and cheap food. Photos will be up soon in FB I hope.
It's been a crazy week at work, especially on Thursday where I have a crazy meeting from 9am to 6.30pm. Beat that man. And have to work till about 9pm. And on Friday, despite the crazy tummyache in the morning, I have to go to work and work till 7pm though I am supposed to end work at 12.30pm. And still, I have to bring some work back to finish. And I am not talking about a mega project I am working on. Oh well. That's life I supposed.
Today's Halloween. I was supposed to have find some costumes to go to any clubs to have some fun. But plans changed. I guess it will just be a normal Saturday night for me.
Working so hard and not feeling well at the same time (on Friday) made me think a bit. I realised that I really have to take care of myself and no one would show any concern at all. I smsed my boss that I'll be slightly late for work due to frequent visit to the toilet, but still I have to clear as much work.
I am really such a wimp who always needs so much attention and concern and I think I really need to realise that only me who show concern for myself and I am only one who will take care of myself.
It's bye bye to Sunday and the beloved weekend, and bye bye to ya guys. I will be out of town for a week in KL, and will be back on Saturday. I really hope it will be a great trip.
I don't know why, but I feel especially thoughtful, often with a tinge of blues, when I am at home for the whole day, and especially on a Saturday night.
I just watched a movie called Fever Pitch on TV. It's a romance film with the cast led by Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon. The movie is about how Drew's character, a strong career woman, in the process of finding love, happened to meet Jimmy's character, a high school teacher. Being a career-minded woman, she was always busy and on her phone, strong willed, ambitious, and always had the will to win, and that's why she hadn't found the guy who could match up to her. So it's actually how interesting she fell in love with a lower income teacher. But the catch is, besides being the one earning lesser, the guy had a great addiction to being a die hard baseball fan. Everything in his life was about Red Sox, the baseball team he's crazy about. Well you can go watch the movie if you want more details.
What I wanted to point out is how 2 very different people come together to put aside the differences, to accomodate with each other's passion, to lovee and live with each other. It ain't easy and there were many times where they almost blew their relationship off. But the girl was able to learn to appreaciate the sport and accompany the guy to the matches even she was really busy. And the guy eventually decided to sell off the best seat in the stadium to prove his love.
A relationship requires a lot of tolerance and compromise between the 2 parties, often which the reluctance to give in by any side will result in quarrels or even worse. That made me think, if I could really give in or sacrifice the things I like if I fall in love, or even anyone out there in the world who is willing to sacrifice the things she love for me. I really can't imagine myself doing that, or think that anyone will do that for me.
Maybe that's why I am single.
In addition, I have a lot of criteria and standards. Maybe too many.
I really don't know if I will end up in a relatioship eventually. And I don't really want to think much about it.
But it can be quite lonely sometimes.
I am flying off on Monday, but I haven't planned much, still.
Good engineer, good worker, high flyer, rich person, entrepeneur, a cappella singer, superstar, party animal, tuition teacher, youtube-made-famous singer, marathon runner, fitness buff, good looker, obedient son, endearing lover, composer, arranger, good friend, traveller, photographer, design artist, TV junkie, movie reviewer, song reviewer, slacker, famous blogger.
Do you feel that some times, you want to assume many roles, but in the end you do nothing at all? You will say you do not have time for all these things, but when you do have the time, it was spent on something else totally irrelevant that is a total waste of time?
The weekend is almost over and it appears I haven't achieved much.
Well at least time is well spent with the JC band peeps.
But at the other time, I began to think what I have done?
I need to settle my thoughts and start focusing on the things I NEED to do, and not just WANT to do.
This song has been in my head for quite a while since my friend introduced to me last week or so. There aren't many lyrics but I guess it's the catchy tune that caught me.
