After a depressing day yesterday, a 12 hour sleep last night, I woke up this morning to go to work. I got to the bus stop, the bus stop was quiet, I got onto the bus, the bus was empty, I got to my stop, i was the only one getting down. I got to the school entrance, the whole school look deserted. It is the first day of the term break, and of course it is dead. I walked to my office and there it was, a MacDonalds breakfast set on my desk with a post it note that writes "from: Yan Chin". That made my day!!! :-)
I think I am so contradicting at times. 4 weeks ago, i can't wait for today to arrive, but today, when it actually is TODAY, i am found here bored with no excitiement what so ever (except for the little joy that comes thinking about not having to go to class for the next 4 weeks). The last month that just went passed was one of the most intensive and crazy month since a while ago. It was very challenging intellectually, mentally and emotionally. While going through it, all iwas looking forward towards the arrival of 5th Dec and how free i will feel on that day. Ironically, while all the impossible difficult tasks and intellectual challenging lessons have all been delivered, i am found suffering from the most common pain called BOREDOM. how come? I got nothing to do now. For today and maybe tomorrow. Shouldn't i be heads over moon that i can finally not stress? I thought i was so looking forward to it... Hmmm. Colleague told me to enjoy while it last.. and i know exactly what she means. We all endured a long and painful academic term of 11 weeks and the new term is going to start before we know it. C'mon Mel, enjoy the holiday, celebrate Christmas, remember the day and the significance of the Birth of Lord Jesus Christ, spend time with family, sleep more, play more, celebrate life, exercise, read, study, work and live.
