hectic

time is a luxury that i dont have.

ive kinda realised that after six months of work, that it never stops. I've had so much to do this year it is just amazing. Things that happened two weeks ago feels like ages. I forget what day it is sometimes, and there are times when i dont see sunshine for a couple of days.

I used to make it a habit of going to the gym early in the morning before work, and then have a short drive (distance, but it still takes 20mins sometimes!), but the pace has gotten considerably faster and intense that i find myself too tired to even contemplate waking up before 6.45 every morning. I have a 45minutes window after i jump out of bed to get onto the road, otherwise i will be late to officve, guaranteed.

So whats new with me? Well, as my last post has been probably nearly a month ago, nothing much to be honest. I've been doing work and work and it never seems to end. I keep telling myself its good experience, but it is tiring. Going back 10pm nearly everyday isnt a good habit, trust me, it just drains you out.

A lot of people say that going back late from work is a sign that youre not efficient. Well, I beg to differ on that. My line of work relies on the cooperation of outside parties (lawyers, most of the time) and if they submit to you 1 minute before 5.45, then i guess its just another longgg day at the office. It doesnt help if your other outside partner is 5 timezones away, and insists on endless conference calls. But i guess i cant complain. I have told myself this would be what i have to do if I want to be what I wanted to be, so c'est la vie.

On the entertainment side, not much has been happening. I spend the weekends with the lads or with my girlfriend just hanging out. Most of the time I try to do something not so strenous i.e window shopping or just lazing around. That makes me officially the most boring person there is in the world.

I envy people who could get back home on a friday and get ready for a big night out. The past couple of fridays. Ive not had a proper friday night out since i left london, so go figure. sometimes i wonder where do they get all the energy from?? Im usually okay after work but definitely not enough for a huge night out thats for sure!

Im writing this on my laptop around 1.30ish on a friday morning. how can I do so? well, i have got leave! woohoo. A day for relaxation, i must say. But since the parents are not at home and Im in charge with my trusty partner in crime, the house is a state. 3 hours after my parents left and its already a mess. They've been gone for a few days now, so you can just imagine what its like now.

My car has been okay. I was tempted to put in a few things in here and there (the first purchase i was considering was putting in the Proton R3 brakes - slotted, cross driled) but with a huge upcoming impending purchase in the horizon, i think that would have to be put off.


well people, thats all i can write for today, im getting sleepy. I may be on leave, but I am on-call for the afternoon. I have to go back to the office at some stage tomorrow, i left my laptop plug there.


till then people, cheerios!
