Feeling stupid...

Sometimes horoscopes are so reflective of how events turn out! Today was my first day at clients. It can pretty much be summed up like this: Aries Horoscopes

The Aquarian Moon remains in force yet again throughout the day. It is a complex lunar day with many changing feelings and energies. Being aware of this helps you stay centred and capable. What's likely to happen is dithering, an inability to make a decision and a bit of confusion throughout the afternoon. So bear that in mind and avoid important issues in that period. You need an early night tonight

But then again I guess everyone has their good and bad days...do you ever feel bad for taking up so much of someone's time...and then to find that you could have solve the problem yourself? I found myself in one of those situations today! Maybe its a lesson to be learnt even though it's not the first time its happened. Should be more careful, more observant....people after all learn from their mistakes!! This is called experience....

I should really stop complaining but I just can't help it! Probably if I don't complain then I have nothing to say! Some people can just have so much to talk about and make conversations with everyone so easily....sigh...I wish I had that kind of skill...its called communication skills isn't it?? Or is it interpersonal skills? Whichever it is, its another skill that I would have to acquire. The problem is where do I begin? What topics do you talk about? Talking about the weather usually lasts only for 5 second...the weekend?? another minute if you're lucky...plans for the next day? another minute...that doesn't even equate to 5 minutes.

If only I could talk as easily as I rant about nonsense!! But seriously, first thing first...I REALLY should stop being a couch potato and get off my backside to exercise!! It's meant to stimulate your brain and make you more alert and healthy. It's been one of my goals for a VERY long time yet I still haven't managed that do that! Sometimes life can be so miserable....

On the other hand, life is what you make of it isn't it? Everyone only has 24 hours in a day...even if you drink berroca which claims you can make 30 hours out of a day! Some people have families, kids, pets, work, join social and sport clubs and still manage to fit everything into their busy schedule. I should be able to do the same too!! I have none of those responsibilities but yet I seem to have no time. Time is there, I guess you just have to make use of it!

Starting to find my life rather dull...work - home - sleep - work - home - sleep..and the cycle continues. I should be more proactive! Yes that's the word I'm trying to find. Should take time for walks or playing the piano. Should stop sitting in front of the computer so much. Should...ummm....I don't know. I think I'm getting rather carried away rambling.

My point is...I should add some adventure to my life - laugh more, play more, talk more!!

CARPE DIEM!!

Two extremes....

Why does it always happen? A good event always have to be complemented with a bad event!! It took two days to finally get my gps working. On this very day, a trip over of the charging cord meant my ppc tumbles onto the floor. Tried doing a sync between the ppc and the pc for almost an hour without any success. Switched off both machines, turned it back on...the sync took longer than usual but at least its working once again...phew!! Now everything seems a bit delayed in response!! Oh wells at least its working. These two extremes were also separated by a virus prank :p which I initially thought it was a 'real' virus!! I think I've had enough for the day in terms of unnecessary stress!!

First time...

Experienced full-time work. Guess so far it's not TOO bad since the whole week was practically all training and in the office. Nice people and all so can't complain too much. Sometimes the only thing you feel like doing after coming home from work is just to sleep. Think I'm back to my 'sleep-early-wake-up-early' routine again!

First time playing arcade games on friday. I can see how people can get so addicted to playing - the thrill of winning! I just realise it's been a whole week since I've last blog - but somehow it didn't feel that long :p

Nostalgia

How do I spend my last weekend before I start work...a good half of today was spent cleaning, dusting and polishing. Its amazing how time flies by. Wiping the thick dust off the piano, I looked at the trophies on it...my first ever trophy was from 10 years ago and last ever one was in 2001 from Studio 65. They were the good old times...Despite getting to where I am now, it feels so disappointing to not being able to play one piece of music, flawlessly, with or without the score. My once relative perfect pitch have deteriorated to a point where I can no longer recognise the sound of the keys without looking.

Life is ironic....

I have all the time in the world, yet I do nothing. When I have no time, I try to do everything. Why is there no sane solution to such human stupidity?? I have lost count of the many unsuccessful plans this holiday alone! Far too much to be satisfying. Planning ahead is good but impromptu events keep popping up! Let's see if the reminding days goes to plan.....tho I am almost certain that things are going to be cancelled because of one reason or another!! Let me be wrong...

Life...

Life is too short...rest in peace...

Life is like riding a bicycle. You don't fall off unless you plan to stop peddling.-- Claude Pepper

For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin--real life.

At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.-- Alfred D. Souza

In the book of life every page has two sides: we human beings fill the upper side with our plans, hopes and wishes, but providence writes on the other side, and what it ordains is seldom our goal. -- Nisami

It is not length of life, but depth of life. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson

In the game of life it's a good idea to have a few early losses, which relieves you of the pressure of trying to maintain an undefeated season. -- Bill Baughan

The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it. -- Anonymous

Expecting life to treat you well because you are a good person is like expecting an angry bull not to charge because you are a vegetarian.-- Shari R. Barr

All of the animals except for man know that the principle business of life is to enjoy it.-- Samuel Butler

Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well. -- Josh Billings

Slow going....

Life has been in the slow lane for the past couple of days...

Two more weeks before works start...

Waiting for some deliveries...

Deciding which adsl to join: TPG, Internode or Exetel...

No matter how much or less sleep I get, still feel tired...

Lacking in exercise...

Counting down...
