Gladly I'm announcing that I had a splendid weekend - which is still not over yet.....Saturday was great! Spend the evening till night at temple for family prayers and at night, some friends dropped by -- we were singing and dancing till about 3 a.m. i think. And today, i woke up around 10.30 a.m. --went out met my dear dear friend Dave and spent some quality time with him. Brought him to Subang Parade, since he claimed he'd not been there in three years so I educated him today, that it is not a bad place and people do go there to shop!
Then, it's Sunday evening, am just at home and planning to just relax till I go back to work tomorrow.

Vitamins!
I've been trying to think of something nice to write in my blog instead of constantly complaining, so far nothing has come to mind. I can't seem to take my mind of the fact that i think my health is getting the better of me. Lately, i've been having dizziness and my nagging headaches are back. Was actually on MC for two days, but I went to work today. I've discovered that I am faced with low blood pressure which is causing me to feel tired all the time and also causing lack of concentration. My loss of appetite is also explained by this phenomenon. Oh well, I guess it's time to break my stubborn streak and take some supplements! It is no joke driving up and down to work feeling dizzy day in and day out. Well, I am now taking vitamins. Never thought i'd actually do this, but yea..anyways, right now i am feeling real sleepy so night night and TGIF!!!

Being special
Children are gifts; that makes all of us a special in our own way but we loose that sight of it as we grow up. The thing is, you don't even realise this fact up till adulthood kicks in and you see for yourselves how children, can be very thoughtful in their own touching way. Just the other day, my family and I were having dinner at TGIF -- a birthday celebration for my dad. As we were finishing up our meals, my 6 1/2 year old nephew turn to my mom and said, "This dinner must be really expensive, can i please help you to pay for it?" Of course the reality is this kid will go to his parents for the money but the thought; how often would a child make such remarks -- remarks that catch you by surprise further proving how special they really are.
On more humorous note, we were discussing with the children on their ambitions and asked them what they wanted to be when their grow up. My 6 1/2 year old nephew said, "I wanna be builder, cos i want to build things." But to everyones surprise, the younger brother who is 3 1/2 when asked the same question he said, "I don't want to grow up." At such a young age, that is a very wise answer, all of us laughed but it got everyone of us thinking.
As kids we wait in anticipation to grow up, as teens we rebel and demand to be treated as an adult and once we are adults, we wish and hope that we could get into a time machine and go back to being a kid. Yes, we want to simplify things as an adult but somehow complications become the center of our lives. As hard as we try to make things easy for everyone around us, it becomes even harder for us to cope. That is the reality. But, it is comforting to know that, once you observe a child in his/her thoughtfulness and innocence, we take a step back and realise, we are all special -- cos we were once children ourselves.

Working on the weekend again!
Once again, working on the weekend. It's not that i dont like my job; it's just that tedious nature of it really wears me out -- traveling mostly, juggling family responsibilities with work, trying so hard to have social life. Of late, social life just seems out of the question. Sometimes I find myself making excuses not to go out, but staying at home can also be very annoying!!
Oh well, is this like a rough patch in life? Sometimes I never seem to measure up to expectations. The feeling of giving up has crossed my mind more than once. Is it wrong to have these sort of feelings? Would it be better to have a job that just pays the bills? But sometimes that too isn't enough. I want something that makes me think and push my abilities. It's extremely challenging but I am burning out and really fast! It's just a matter of time! Really...........I am not kidding this time....
