Grocery shopping

I guess my life may seem boring now if I looked at it through my old lenses. Every morning I wake up around 8.10, brush teeth, wash face, change, sometimes put on makeup, drink my carrot juice/eat some fruits/organic oats, walk to the mrt, call loris on the way to the mrt if he doesn't call me first, arrive at work and head straight to the tc room to set up my experiments/run my gels if it is a running gel day, joke with colleagues, laugh laugh laugh my head off, go to lunch with colleagues, chit chat, have my teh beng, call/msn with loris, go back analyze my data, frantically finish up the different things I gotta finish esp if it is a cram all you can in day, joke with colleagues, get off from work. After work I either head home for dinner --> watch some channel 8 drama -->learn some new songs on the piano --> skype loris/surf the internet, or I head home for dinner --> go out with my mum to hougang mall/heartland mall/compass point where we usually walk around ntuc or cold storage, buy whatever -->head home to skype loris. Only occasionally, I go out with friends/colleagues...then it's usually for dinner/movie/ karaoke/haha window shopping but usu in carrefour or like, ntuc...

Nothing grand or exciting, just mundane, everyday things...wow, this is a period of bliss that I must fully sensitize myself to and enjoy... I'm really happy here because I guess my working environment is great, and a huge part of my time is spent at work. On one hand I am really excited to churn out some good data, on the other hand I am just really eager to be in the company of friends at work. cos i duno why, they really can make me laugh. and i really enjoy laughing my head off without a care in the world.

wonder if it can be the same way when i am in the company of other doctors to be, or would the mood be more sombre, competitive, stressful...

anyway, there have been many plane crashes of late. commercial flights, those any one of us could be on if we were that sway. I hope I won't die on my way to san diego, hawaii, or singapore. I'm not ready to go.

movies

Recently I watched two movies, Benjamin Button and Marley & me. I got something from both. From the first, I got that nothing is permanent. From the second, I got that being married and having kids means that you have to give something of yourself up for the good of the family. For the girl its usually her career, but I don't want to give that up. Never. Somehow my partner and i must find a way to handle everything despite our careers and do a decent job with the kids too. Is it really that hard? That's the thing, we will never know until we try. But there's only one shot at bringing the kids up. If we make mistakes there is no turning back the clock, or trying again. perhaps I shouldn't be so harsh on my parents after all.. they did their best.

In ten days I will be leaving for sd.
