Procrastinator

Arggg. I just can't stand myself . I am such a procrastinator.

Should I get the Olympus E-PL1? There's a promotion now where I can get the camera body, 2 lens kit and a lens adaptor (with other accessories) for S$1188 (usual is S$1368 I think). The promotion will end next Sunday!

How how?



Really like the retro feeling, the ability to change lens, and also, what attracted me most is its ART functions which allow to take photos having different effects, such as pinhole, soft focus, etc.



But not all are good too.

Thinking

I have been through a lot of thinking lately, and it's not that I haven't been thinking all the time, but just slightly more recently. And somehow, these thoughts have got me further deep in seeking the true meaning in life, in work, in relationships, in friendships, and what-nots.

Some thinking is good, but if it has gotten too much and without action, it will succumb to depression and self indulgence in self pity. And I am afraid that this has somewhat happened to me slightly.

When my friends or colleagues are in despair and they think that they should this or they should do that, I will often tell them not to think so much, and just go with the flow. But why can't I tell myself that?

Don't worry, I haven't got into depression, just yet, but I just need to stop thinking once in a while and just feel the happiness around.

Have been quite stressed up at work, as usual, probably because of the deadlines coming up, and I just do not know how to handle the work, and probably also because I am not confident in the things I am doing. So many times I ask myself, is this really suitable for me, and is this what I am going to do the rest for my life. Hell no! Then why don't I find another job? Reason is simple, purely because I don't know if I can do well in another unfamiliar field?

Been thinking about friendships as well. Just recently, I have realised that a close friend of mine, whom I haven't met for quite some, hasn't been so close anymore when we met up recently. There's awkward silence in conversations, and the lame humour we shared before, doesn't exist anymore. I admit that this friend isn't one who will just start a conversation anytime, but the sudden coldness has really left me thinking if the long time no see factor has caused the unfamiliarity bewteen us.

Oh well, as I said, probably I should just stopped thinking so deep, and just go with the flow. Nothing has gone wrong, and I believe we are still good friends.

Have been busy with A Cappella as well as NUS Resonance is putting up a performance on 26th June. I seriously missed all the singing when I started working, and only realised how much I missed when I started singing again couple of weeks back. Thanks for inviting me back and I am really happy to be singing with you guys again.

Singing aside, been meeting up with different group of friends as well, as it's definitely a good thing to be able to catch up with others. I realised the things we discussed are different too, previously from the stress in studying and school, to now, buying of flats, relationships, career and all the young adults' stuff. This has definitely shown a sign that we are entering or have entered into another stage of life.

'Nuff said. I am just looking forward to the next happy thing, probably the concert itself, and probably another short trip. In life, we just need to look forward to things we like to do or things that make us happy. Life is short anyway.

Yes indeed. Life is short, and I really have to remind myself that.
