Return of sleepless nights

Lately i have been plagued by that old but familiar symptoms of being under extreme amounts of stress. Sleepless nights...almost every day is an agony to wake up but at night, no matter how exhausted i am, sleep just doesn't come easily. To make matters worse, at this present moment i am also hungry and I need to write an activity report which is overdue! Sigh! Yeap, it's all about work today.
Nevertheless, these days I am trying to take it easy on the weekends. Most of the time I try very hard not to work - and use the time to rest or chill out with buddies. I must admit that uneasiness of not checking my work e-mails daily on weekends creeps up on me every now and then, so yes, i do take a sneak peak at what's going on with dhkaur@webershandwick.com :).
Some may say I am a workaholic but i beg to differ. Workaholics crave work, i on the other hand constantly have stuff to complete. Ok lah..sometimes I do look for work when there isn't (which is hardly the case) but that is because I am so used to having to do more than I can handle. So, as a workaholic, when you go on a holiday for example, do you face withdrawal symptoms?? Silly question, I know but what else can you expect from someone who is so exhausted that she cant sleep!!??
Looking forward to the holidays though. Which brings me back to my "Me time" on weekends. Last weekend was great! Met up with some old friends and made some new ones. Who ever said you can't have too many friends right.
Oh well, time to get back to that activity report..cheerios!

Time flies...................

How time does fly.....My last post was in August and now, October is fast approaching. Yes, I have neglected my blog. When i was ranting and raving of how busy I was, it was nothing compared to now! Busy doesnt event describe my daily routines. The hours are crazy but somehow now I feel more motivatd to do my best. It is so exciting the Pavilion KL has opened. From the first day I joined Weber Shandwick, I began reading all about it and even telling the media what to expect when it opens. 20 September was a date which was planted into my mind since April, Pavilion KL opened to the public and it is indeed quite a place to explore. Although it keeps me busy and on my toes but it's all good and for now, I am loving it :)

What to write?

Being me, I hardly update my blog - reason being, everytime i log in, i wonder "what do i write?". I don't even know if people actually read it. I have written two lines and already I am bored! Just imagine the people reading it, how boring it would be?
Oh well, talking about me is just not interesting enough. This has got to be the shortest blog entry...ehehehe

Getting back on track!.

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....
