It has been eons since I updated my blog. The December lull along with its festive atmosphere have come and gone in a blink. It is difficult to shake one out of the lull as CNY comes hot on its heels right after a flurry of celebrations. Regardless, Corporate life rears its ugly head and put any idylic thoughts to a rest.
Immediately after ushering in 2011, my weekends have either been spent watching movies on a plane or being best friends with the Spreadsheet family. To quote a line from a movie I watched, we are so busy its no wonder we are called the Human Race. I was in the States 2 weeks ago and boy was it exhausting! It was so bad I was literally burning 2 ends of the candle as there was a night where I worked 2 shifts – Asia time after completing a solid day of training in the States. Fortunately, there have been more hands on deck lately as my team expanded and I could finally outsource some work to others.
Having been through some turbulence in my life recently, I had a epiphany of sorts and have made 2 simple resolutions “to pursue health, peace and joy” in 2011. Beside restoring emotional & mental well-being, a recent death in the family impressed upon me the pressing need to take care of my health. While the med check up report gave me an all-clear, the doctor advised cutting down on alcohol as there are signs of fats accumulating in my liver. For a moment, I felt like foie gras!! In addition, I urgently need to bring some joy back into my life. I plan to vacation with a vengeance! I have started reading self-help books like “The 4-hour Work Week” and “How to Stop Worrying and Start Living”. I would make time for a healthier lifestyle, perhaps kick-starting my Japanese language or Music lessons once again. This year, I would throw caution to the wind, start taking more risks in my life and seek freedom from the fetters of the daily grind.
I am optimistic I would live and end a happier and healthier person in 2011! Wish me luck.
