For some reason I was so incredibly exhausted on Saturday that I crashed on my couch in the afternoon into a deep sleep.
After about an hour into my deep sleep, the phone rang and in a semi-comatose state I groped for my phone and answered it in my daze...
Me: Huuh?
Caller: Hellooooo... *a man drawling like a simpleton*
Me: Yes?
Caller: Who is thisss? *still drawling like a simpleton*
Me: WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHO IS THIS?!?! YOU CALLED ME!!!!!!! *Bursting with unbridled vehemence*
Caller: Okoksorrywrongnumber! *Snapping out of his slow drawl with a burst of alacrity*
I promptly went back to sleep and only remembered the call 7 hours later. Hehe. I'm grumpy as it is on my good days when being pulled out from a good sleep. That dude probably did not expect an innocent call to go that way at all.
My apartment is at ground level, which comes with its own set of challenges such as annoying neighbours above me that think their dustbins are on my balcony and throw their rubbish down.
Grr. No. I'm not going to get started on that.
As I was watching TV late one night, a bell could be heard outside that went on for at least 20 minutes, and I smirked.
Hehe... at least I don't ever have to be worried being stuck in the lift.
Time feels like it is absolutely whizzing by in lightning speed!
So many things, so many thoughts, so many lessons, I was almost stumbling in trying to keep up with everything. I almost did and had a timely break in Malaysia.
To summarize some of what has kept me busy:
An amazingly blessed time with new company, new team, new friends and new blessings. The camaraderie is great and we're all trying to protect it as much as possible. My boss today spoke very sternly against any possible negativity and how he would take firm action against anyone who is negative.
Someone also donated an old foosball table and we've all gone nuts with it. We may be a wee bit addicted to it, playing every lunch time and after work, but seriously, it's freaking awesome. It helped different people get to know each other better, it's great exercise, it improves reflexes and thinking and very importantly for me, it made me realise that my problem is not being unintelligent or lazy or that sort in life.
My biggest weakness is sustained focus. It's helping to expose the areas of weaknesses and I'm trying to consciously work at correcting those areas when it comes to work and everything else.
Hehe, trying to not gloat so much, I was awesome today at foosball! Of course it was largely because I was partnering with the best player in the company (everyone who partners him always does well in the game). But I held up my end so much so the boys started analysing my game and how I play. It was very satisfying because for the first time I felt I earned respect not because I was "good for a girl" but because I am good. Okay! That's all the gloating I'm gonna make!
I was back in Malaysia for yet another wedding. As each wedding now means travelling, there is now a level of weariness attached to weddings. And I'm nearly quite had enough of it that I declared that the last wedding I'll be attending in Malaysia will be the one at the end of this month.
And just as I announced it, I now have a wedding in Hong Kong, Taiwan and the UK to attend next year.

Sigh.
