Like all my previous efforts to write as often as possible, this one inevitably failed. As I gather my thoughts on how put 4 months of my life into a single blog post, i realize that there are simply too many things to begin with.
October flew by like a bird, or maybe it didn’t, maybe i just remember it to be that way, I don’t know, but it seemed like it did. Then came November when i flew to Miri, Sarawak for, well, for work. I was there for like 3 weeks and the first week was pretty nice, I’ve never been to Sarawak and I felt excited because frankly who the fuck wouldn’t. I started to miss my bed midway through the second week and by the time the third week came i was pretty much begging to get this thing over with quickly so that I can go home, take a nice shower and snuggle myself between the sheets for the rest of my life.
December wasn’t any better, mostly because of work. In audit we have “peak periods” and that’s the time of the year when we’ll be the busiest (though technically we also have something called the “super peak” which as the name suggests is one level above peak but I will not go there today). The problem with my team is that we’re handling multiple entities and we have multiple reportings that we have to do and if what I just said doesn’t make any sense to you it basically translates to I HAVE MULTIPLE PEAK PERIODS IN A FUCKING YEAR and though the learning curve is steep and you learn a lot, and i mean a lot in a very short amount of time, it really sucks the life out of you, so there’s that.
Then comes January which is like this month which is the month when we’re supposed to be like super motivated to accomplish our goals and stuff and set new year resolutions that will inevitably fail. Well in a stunning turn of events i find myself viewing fireworks from the top of an oil tank 3730 kilometers away from my friends and family. I then find myself staying in floor 32 of a 44 storey condominium for two weeks and working and sleeping and eating in that order. And after what seemed to me like an eternity I’m sitting down here in the evening of, unbeknownst to me until today, the 20th day of the month in my home at my desk writing this while I still have 2 pieces of work that are in the background begging for my attention. I. am. burnt. out.
As you can probably tell from the way that I’m writing it hasn’t been the best, but it also hasn’t been the worst, but then again I guess you could say that about 99% of your life. The single thing that made the past four months bearable was her, and i’m glad things worked out the way it did, and i don’t know what the coming months will be like and as you can see I haven’t had this adult shit figured out yet and I’m just as confused as your average young adult but I’m glad i have her, I really am.
It wouldn’t be a January post without talking about New Year Resolutions, so here’s mine:
- Eat better
- Sleep better
- Hit the gym consistently (without skipping leg day of course)
- Find a hobby that doesn’t involve games or electronics for that matter
- spend less time on the internet and more time with actual people
- Pick up something new
- Spend more time going out (not malls and movie theaters but parks and hikes and places)
- Travel
- Save and invest more
- Read more
I’ll come back to this a year later and see how it pans out, I’m gonna need a long break, until next time people.
Ken.
