A Backache, A crappy friend, and 'enjoy the little things'

It's been too long since the last post and I'm sorry for the long absence... Despite the deeply desired wish to launch a hate campaign against 'streamyx' and 'HP' for their crappy service, I shall keep those things underwraps for the moment. For now, as I reflect a bit on myself, I began to share a feeling of despise towards myself. For all the improvements I try to make, it seems that nothing feels like it's better, more like worse off.

A few days ago, I have gotten a job at student services department as a student helper. I thought the extra income and experience could help me a little bit to lift my lazy bottom to something better (I dunno how else to put it). Instead, I came off having a sore back and a revelation.

The sore back came from all the hours sitting down and data entry. The dreadful moments of reading so many 'unique' handwritting and trying to make sense of what they had answered on the enquire form. I don't know how this people do this sometimes... Oh ya, the chair wasn't a big help either. Out of all the chairs, it was the only one without any form of cushioning, just plain hard wood. My butt barely made it pass day 1, it was dying in day 2. At least everyone there was friendly and helpful.

Amidst all the discomfort, it appeared to me that I had miss out a lot too. I miss out on watching my friend's EC performance, which i had promised to watch, miss out on basketball, and even as I'm writing this, I have sent an sms to Christine to blow off my friends on Sunway Lagoon later cause I forgot to take leave off my work to join them. All in all, my horrible time management has turn me into a crappy friend who constantly breaks promises. It's not the job, it's me. It kills me sometimes to tell them when I miss out on these things. The immediate reactions I get, although painful to the heart but it's the cold truth I deserve. I pray things change for the better for my sake at least, and sincerely sorry to those whom I blow off.

When one's life is in havoc, he or she should enjoy the little things while you can. It could be a smile or a simple hello from that certain someone, or taking a slow drive towards the sunrise or even just simply hanging out with your friends. Most of the time, it's the little things that makes life more bearable and probably more fun. I sometimes run so fast without taking a breather to actually enjoy these little things. At least now I know why I always look forward towards each new day, why I always look forward to her 'hello'. You should try it sometime.

Now, I leave y'all with a pic of Aaron Tan's new 'girlfriend' also known as Christine 2 or Janell 2 or Serene 2.

P.S. I shall a happier post next time... : )
