knee-deep (and sinking) in hedonism
blehh... World Cup is screwing up my sleep cycle. Slept at 5am today then woke at 10am for medical appt... resulting in an extended afternoon snooze. Next thing I knew it was 7pm and I was too lazy to go for Korean class... thus breaking my 100% attendance (all 4 of 4 so far)!! ahh!
Ok I guess WC is a good excuse... truth is I'm perfectly comfortable lying around til 11 or so every day now, regardless of the time I sleep. And despite my appearing very held together all the time, guess what? A month after coming back I'm still living out of my two suitcases in the living room (not that there's any space in the room I share with my sis to unpack anyway). AND I still haven't gotten down to applying for event planning experience... Truth is, it's fun to sit around and type long emails about stuff cos it beats actually DOING anything... Help I'm turning into a BFLP (Big Fat Lazy Pig)... *reaches for the **sugar-free** chocolate*
There's also a perverse pleasure in reading the newspapers cover to cover each day, deciding what I want to do after breakfast, taking an hour getting ready to go out, then sauntering around shopping centers with no purpose whatsoever, and meeting friends at the drop of a hat :) Suddenly I can witness the days passing, instead of wondering how they flew by. And that feeling is pretty damn good right now :)
Here's sthing from a great friend which made me laugh today:
Q: Is swimming good for your figure?
A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me.
Which got me thinking about the love-hate relationship many of us have with socialising. On one hand friendships and relationships are so rewarding, and yet on the other there are so many demands on our person, effort, time. 有时候好累人， 这样. Recent conversations and experiences have made me realise, there's a limit to the amount of 'self' we can afford others (even for me! horrors). It's not called self for nothing! And also that it takes two hands to clap, so if one party isn't willing, sometimes it's not worth the effort :) Growing up, maybe. Lao liao, jaded, so sad. But perhaps there is little choice but to give up romantic ideals and go for quality and not quantity?
Moral of the season: don't forget to indulge in some selfish, quality ME-time!

where can sugar-free chox be found?
Hospital pharmacies, Candy Empire@Millenia Walk, and a few of the more uppity chocolate stores. And Wal-mart! America is actually a lot friendlier to carb whores.
