Looking forward to weekends



Its Thursday today! That is why I am geared up thinking about weekends. And it explains about the title of my blog here. I have finally understood why a lot of people always utter the maxim, “Thank God, it’s Friday” (TGIF) during the end of the week and why a lot of people are looking forward to the weekend. For the past two months, I have been like anxiously waiting for the weekends to rejuvenate myself or restore my sleep deprivation in preparation for coming long weekdays with tones of work awaiting me in line.

For the longest time, I have been having busy weekends too which might sound unusual to some but that is the reality of life. Weekends will see unfinished personal business/activities that were seeking for my attention. That doesn’t mean that I have not really had the time for rest and recreation. It’s as if weekends just passed me by. I have been going up and down with my project planning checklist and pinning down the necessary item. It’s fun though it needs some devotion and effort too. And have been getting ideas, recommendation and suggestions from those who has been there and accomplished their task beautifully. So why can’t I do? *Grinz*




And definitely, I am now of the many who look forward to weekends. I admit, I utter “Yes, It’s Friday already” with a big grin. Although, my weekends are still as busy as ever and sometimes more stressful. But now, there’s a big change to it. (With an exception to last weekend where I decided to hibernate thoroughly).

Bye bye June, Welcome July :)



There is no love lost between the month of June and me. It was a demanding month for me. I’m just glad that June is coming to an end. June was not really an easy-going month since it took a toll on my wellbeing. Nothing bad but I’m just too lethargic. The reasons range from personal to professional. As I am someone who works in the research organization, June, which coincides with the financial yr end, is a very busy and stressful month. Talk about new FY directions, new goals & KPI to be set, brainstorming from our scientific board meeting feedbacks and a whole lot more. It is indeed a grueling month that I do not have time for recreation and would often come home dead tired. My eyes were looking puffy and tired most of the days and I totally forgot about grooming myself which I do quite often on regular basis. I didn’t have time to blog even for couple of months even though I had so many ideas in my head to scribble BUT time just don’t permit me to do so.…just look at my entries for this month! Only 2 (including this one)! And none since April till May!!! Gosh, the lag period make me sound like I had dull life for the past couple of months...Duh! Very unlikely coz there was several fun things and planning was going on a low-key. Hehehe...




Not to mention some personal concerns that I have. June reminds me of the passing of an honored temple priest- known for his great religious responsibilities. June also had the privilege to come out with the holistic plan for my personal ‘happiness project’. This might raise curiosity to many but the execution of this happiness project will solve all the puzzles in near future. So, till then, you guys have to wait for the surprise. Whenever June approaches, I would often have that feeling of nostalgia and melancholia. There is a pervading feeling of being “down and out.” Furthermore, this particular time, I have been thinking a lot about plans and life in general. I guess, I would have to make some major decisions soon.
As June draws to a close, I am filled with hope that July is going to be better and brighter.



So long June, until next year! And I’m looking forward for a great July which I am sure is gonna be much more exciting than before. Welcome July 11!!!

It Looks Like Its Been Awhile....



Bonjour folks!
So, it’s been a while since i wrote a blog, with ‘hot’ topics sometimes mild and sometimes contentious. Haha! Almost certainly, my absence from the blogging platform is due to my ever-demanding work nature. After all, my job is not all about holidaying or taking things easy. It’s more on a serious note and nothing about being laidback. I have been looking for a slip off to jot my ramblings but never had the time. Coz at the end of the day, I find myself too jaded and can’t wait to tuck myself into my welcoming bed (nothing is more soothing than a nice, cosy sleep)..



Work is not the only reason for me to be pushed away from blogging, but something more essential stuffs has been on my cards and requires prioritization. I don't know why and how, BUT, my senses did get kicked with a call to start moving and planning ahead.. After all, it’s a huge task and needs careful coordination to make the best out of it. So here I am, moving back and forth, up and down etc etc with my mega project. **




Regardless of why, IM BACK, I have to make my presence felt. And the calling came to me this morning. Hmmm..well I needed to refocus my goals, and strive for it. So many agendas line up for me for the next couple of months. I am all geared up for the coming agenda. But that doesnt mean I shud compromise on something that I love the most; BLOGGING! I love it and will not discontinue giving piece of my mind to all the avid followers/readers...


WOOOHOOO LETS DO THIS!
