PLANS

With the start of work, i'm feeling a mixture of excitement, apprehension and overall sense of readiness. Not entirely sure if it can be attributed to the start of work, but I feel like doing a whole host of things again!

  1. Project 24th- Council photobook
  2. Photo collages as posters for my room.. (to hide the marks on the walls!)
  3. Start running regularly again
  4. kickboxing???
  5. salsa.
  6. some outdoor sport
Really hope i can get things going and that work will be fun! Okay.. think i'm asking quite a bit out of work.. since WHEN is work fun right? Well, i'm hoping with the right attitude and determination to stick in there, it just might be better this time round ( No more wishing i was working for Starbucks instead!) :p

I think when you stop work you sort of find it hard to make plans. Each day merrily blends into the next and seems almost indistinguishable from the past one. Yet, at the prospect of something new to look forward to, I find myself forming more and more plans again almost immediately in my mind! haha.. Maybe it's true, as I read in an article in the papers lately, work might not be the place you find and build happiness. Rather than finding meaningful work where you can build happy memories, many find happines in their personal relationships and activities outside of work. This is seemingly nothing new really, but it is telling in that it reveals the basic tenet of finding that ultimate, perfect job might be chasing an elusive dream.

Alright then.. I've been rather intrigued by the history behind Tanjong Pagar... and various other areas around Singapore i've been meaning to explore :) Even bought this !

I agree with the idea that one should look toward personal relationships and non-work related activities as a means to happiness. And I think I'd said it quite often.

I work only as a means in which to support my way of living. I don't live to work.
