For those of you who don't know, I resigned from my current position 2 weeks ago which means i have exactly 9 working days left until I'm freeeeeeeeeeeeeeee (yes Hao, free like youuuuu!). It's not that I dislike my job - quite the contrary actually - but it has come to a point in my life and career where I had to make decisions about my career and my person life. Since giving notice, it has been a very long two weeks of waiting and i'm sure it'll be an even longer two weeks extra of countdown.
I do have three more assignments left on my postgrad before I finish up and am done and dusted with postgrad education for the time being (I know, for some reason I feel I should continue to subject myself to the torture of going on and doing a Masters) but besides that, I'm just looking forward to doing nothing, to lounging around and to catching up on all that I have neglected of late. My room is a mess, my body is aching and needs a break, i'm constantly tired, and I just need to spring clean for awhile - but until those 9 days are over, I'll have to wait patiently.
But anyways, last night I went to see Varekai, the latest Cirque du Soleil show to come to town. I have previously seen Alegria, and while I did enjoy Varekai, I just didnt feel the same "wow" as I did when I saw Alegria. I think a lot of it had to do with the story - the fallen angel was beautiful and the forest creatures interesting, but the story didn't seem to conclude the way I would've liked it to.
We also went to eat at Villa Rustica where I ordered Chilli Mussels and Quan had the Chicken Risotto. The Risotto was disgusting, and the mussels were "okay but a bit too salty". The service was tardy - a waiter came up to us 10 minutes after being seated asking for our order to which I replied "we haven't even gotten menus", the food came out slow given the restaurant was quite empty last night, and the till lady was very abrupt. Not recommended.
Okay, hope you're enjoying your long weekend :0Labels: life, work

Apologies for the lack of posting recently - I don't really have an excuse except for just being busy and lazy.
Since the start of the year, it's been a little hectic. With my job, I have been given a lot more responsibility with the committees. In addition to the three that I am currently overseeing, I have been gradually taking on the responsibility of two extras, and because of that, I've just been flat out..
Besides working, life has been busy - but as always, when i look back, it hasn't been terribly exciting. My days after work are all filled with Monday SnB and workmates' walk, Tuesday Jacobs Ladder (although I didnt do that this week from lack of energy), Wednesday Netball, Thursday workmates' walk, and Friday Jacobs Ladder... As you can imagine, the now heavily scheduled activity days have left me rather tired on weekends and too lazy to bother with anyone else but sleep.
As for my new years' resolution of doing nothing? Well.. I have to say i'm already failing that. However, after Nepal, life should go back to a bit of planned nothingness, and I'm actually looking forward to that.. :DLabels: nepal, work
