chronicling the best week of 2010 ever (thus far)
posted February 24, 2010 9:33 pm
Monday.
Finally got back to work after a dreadful long week of being away. Long holidays wear me out quicker than being utterly swamped in loads of work – I remember overworking myself during YOUTH’08, where I had to frantically manage-edit a 60 page magazine, run a convention for 500 people, and assist project director with endless lists of things for the youth festival.. within 2 months. I thought that was the most tiring time of my life. I was wrong. Not doing anything tires me out faster. Was supposed to go somewhere but.. ah, let’s not go there.
I had a conversation with Ross; I blatantly described the one week CNY holiday to be a fling with another man while being on a one-week hiatus with a longtime boyfriend… and when the hiatus ends I run back right into his arms realizing how gripping the pain of being away from him was like.
I sound like a sad workaholic, but I’m loving it.
Tuesday.
Day of Adventures. Met some real awesome people and learned so much – much more than I did in the 3 years spent in University.
Came home tired, but inspired.
And on this day, I discovered the death of my blog, and learned that there was nothing I could do about it than to wait.
Wednesday.
I had to do something about my blog. I had to.
Applied the Khailee Ng theory (or rather something I learned from him) – I simply refused to believe that there really was nothing I could do about it. Applied the Joel Neoh theory (or rather something I observed from him) – I stretched all limbs and did whatever it took to get it back up. Applied the Dad theory (or rather something he’s been drilling into my head for the past 24 years) and kept my focus on other things to remain emotionally calm (there’s a long, long story behind why this blog had to die in the first place, but let’s not go there).
This revival would not have been possible without Nguyen. And a dude from a hosting company.
Needless to say, the application of the above theories proved to be fruitful. You’d be seeing ‘This Account Has Been Suspended’ or some jingbang like that if it hadn’t.
On top of all that, am extremely grateful for the unbelievable rate of productivity today.
I am blessed with great friends, a great workplace, great colleagues and great relationships with external parties.
I’m loving this life.
