I do not know why happiness doesn’t come easily these days. I have significant better income compared to my younger days. I do not have pressure of fast approaching exam dates. As Long as I have a job to allow me to feed myself and have a roof over my head, I can recuperate and go to work. The cycle repeats itself in a really simplistic manner. I should be happy. I should be content. The only thing I can think of holding me back is the punishingly Long working hours which sap a lot of energy of out me. But I should still feel happy more often.
It’s probably a combination of reasons for my jovial mood today. It’s probably a series of fortuitous events.
Lunch time - Caught up with Adriana and Veron after such a Long time. I had almost forgotten how much fun it was bantering and teasing each other at work. They laughed hard at my jokes, I laughed hard at my jokes. Just pure plain undiluted doses of joy to help us get through hectic days.
Later on - I took the initiative to collect my Indian visa at the agency. I cut it really thin this time with just one workin day to spare before my flight to India. It’s a great relief this is sorted and I can leave for the mysterious continent of India. I enjoyed my break at work collecting my visa btw
Throughout the day we traded gossips on the Andy Hui escapade like good shallow gossip mongers. When something juicy like this hits, it provides the perfect opportunity to get silly and say absolutely ridiculous things; I genuinely laughed out loud. Some people bullshit for profit, some for ego, I do an abnormal amount of it (it’s acknowledged) for no obvious motivation rather than my own massive amusement.
Abs meetup - again I think I am addicted to listening to myself regaling a crowd with absolutely real life stories which are ridiculous. Couldn’t really do much Japanese but the catch up and laughters were much welcomed mini distractions from the madness which is the Asian way of working
I had the Michelin affiliates song fa Bak Kut teh. I’d had it before but didn’t realise it had Michelin connections. It tasted as good as it had done. (Shame it’s the only photo I have to show for the day)
Last but not least, before today I put myself under undue pressure for the fear of upsetting others. Today I realise that I can get upset too as I am after all only human; hence others should also be wary of upsetting me. I feel liberated thinking this way.
