12-14 hours days are so easy

Easy to clock I mean...

I am writing this post from the office. I just realised we can access Blogspot and well, it's a Friday night and alone in the office is such a "bleh".

I miss the sunlight and feel like a vampire heading home every night. 12-hour days are just so easy to clock... Mounting heaps of work, endless meetings and every night, i sit here alone doing my work.

While it's not the first time in my career that i am working late, i just find that mountains of work can be relatively "enjoyable" if u are in the right company of fellow co-workers and a conducive and fun environment to work in. Certainly it's unenjoyable to be working all alone, let alone the view of the windows behind me face another building. I am actually experience what KL went thru and in all honesty, it must have felt horrid. I try to take good care of my health, eating the right foods at the right hours, being cautious about what i eat, and the types of food i consume at various meals of the day.

Of course, some people tell me all i need to do is to throw in the towel, take a break, get your directions aligned again but i know that's all too easy to say. It's definitely an easy way out, but not necessarily the most responsible. Afterall, i feel that it's better to have an income than not to have an income.

I have another task to complete before i can call it a night and say hi to the weekend. Thankfully, weekends are untouched and I have time to rejuvenate for another horrid week ahead.

6 nights in Beijing

I am going on holiday again... Again another impulse thought that turned into reality. My parents wanted to go to Shantou over the May Day break and wanted me to head along but nah, i'd rather spend the time to go to places that i really wanna go. Stroke of Fate i suppose. SIA was having promotional fares to Beijing (only $698 all inclusive) so well, in a matter of hrs, decision made to head to the Chinese capital.

I was never a "china" person but i guess the rich heritage and culture of Beijing really made me keen to visit the place. Of course, it's also one of the rare opportunities to be holidaying with the parents. I think the last time we went on holidays together was when i was 25 - to Korea!!!

OK, back to researching on what to do and where to stay!
