Been easily lethargic lately. Possible reasons:
1. I'm agingI couldn't bear to write "27" when I fill up any form asking for my age. I swallowed at hearing myself saying "27" when someone asks for my age. Oh gosh, am I afraid of getting old?! I wonder what I would wear when I'm 30+ and beyond. Can I still wear my dresses that I bought from Yahoo Auction? So lately I've been wearing my dresses more often. Freak!
2. Work...work...workJuly till November will be the busiest months for the Marketing Comm department. Besides frequent ads, I have to assist the other centres in designing their banners and flyers. When I'm busy, I'll be at my busiest. No time to check my personal emails. The months when I'll be going home after 7pm. Be nice to me cos I tend to explode easily (my boss, unfortunately,was my first victim) When I'm free, I'll be begging for more work to do and ready to assist the other dept. That's the Marcom for you.
And on Monday, I had terrible Monday blues, highly evident when I sighed a lot and said at 10am, "I can't wait to go home!" Tuesday was rush hour. Chasing the designer for my advertisement artwork, preparing to send out press release, designing a flyer and a banner. I couldn't even eat my lunch in peace (lunch-in) without checking my emails every 10 mins or so.
Yesterday, I had to work till 7pm. Had to attend a networking session. Glad I met a couple of new people though majority are not the right people to network.
A few changes (again) in the company didn't do any good in providing motivation. Kinda disappointing.
3. Household choresBesides the work piling up in the office, I have more work at home. No rest at all. After dinner, I'll be folding the clothes and clearing up some stuff in my room. Thank gdness, I have my younger brother who helps to hang the clothes.
4. Pre-Eid syndromeLast weekend, mum and I rushed to send my cloth to the tailor at Geylang, worried that they might not take in any more for Eid. Couldn't be bothered to go "boriah" this year.
Calculating how much I should set aside for "green packets", now that I have more cousins and nephews. To shop for curtains, bedsheet, clean my room, my messy wardrobe, tons of bags and clothes...aggghhh...makes me wonder if I can ever clear all this stuff.
5. Perk-Me-Up?Everyone in the office, resorts to caffeine for a perk-me-up. I ended up feeling groggy after drinking coffee, more restless and sleepy. Why?! I kept yawning at work, at home. But when I try to sleep early (at 10pm) I toss and turn, and ended up sleeping at 1.30am. And I wake up, feeling tired all over again. Back to square one!
6. Contemplation - Needs & WantsBeen contemplating for a while to do some sideline stuff - data entry @ home, translation services, designing? Not that I'm hard up for the $$$. But higher income = more savings (for my umrah, holidays, emergency and other future needs). Hope not: higher income = higher expenditure
7. A good night's sleepPhysically tired and mentally almost brain-damaged I guess, but was deprived of sleep for the past week. My brain functions actively at night :( Had similar dreams for I think 3 or 4 days consecutively. Tiring!!!
8. GetawayBeen 3 months since the last getaway, and I yearn to go somewhere. Go JB or Batam again? Well, it's overseas :)
Lethargic due to all of the above. Been thinking too much!
