That's Life

I promised phang that i ll blog about the jamming session i just had with my colleagues after work today. It was the first time for all of us, so all the instrumental parts were pretty screwy, and singing was quite novice. I couldnt hit most of the high notes, voice even cracked at quite a few, also missed a couple of song entries, but all in all it was a fun and high session for us that allowed us to destress after a long day at work. At the same time, we were bidding farewell to one of the fellow interns who was having her last day with the bank. After all, it has been a gd 1/2 yr at the bank together. Time really flies.

Work can be quite depressing at times, but i guess it's all about choice. Kinda like the half cup full half cup empty thing or optimism vs pessimism that phang mentioned in his previous post. We can choose to keep complaining and lamenting that job sucks, that pay's low, that working hours are freaking long, that crowded peak hour trains are irritating. On the other hand, we can choose to try find fulfilment from work (quite difficult to) or look forward to end of the day, where fun and laughter with friends and colleagues begins. Been working since Dec last yr and i guess i wouldnt have survived for so long, if not for the various after work activities that we (ie the group of interns) will plan from time to time. From badminton to weekly wednesday night city runs, from kbox-cum-drinking sessions, weekday night movies to jamming sessions.

The thing about choice is that it's important that we follow through with whatever choice we make with no regrets. Even if we have to drag our tired minds and bodies to run after work tomorrow, we complete the planned route. And reward ourselves with a Subway meal after the run.

I am looking forward to tomorrow night's run, even though it has gotten pretty routine, and cliche as it may sound, on to a healthier lifestyle and work-life balance!

I am definitely gonna miss this bunch of colleagues coz we had so much fun together. Most of their contracts complete at end-june while mine is only gonna end end-August, before i head to London. thinking of the extra 2 months at work w/o the group of them makes me depressed. oh well shall think about that only when the time comes.

Anyway i mentioned alanis morisette in my last blog post and i am feeling obliged to post one of her emo songs up. kinda fits the post-jamming-low mood that i am currently in. withdrawals symptons are kicking in, and my throat feels sore!
