Morning coffee at 2.30AM

People say you become lifeless when you start working. I had to partially agree with that since a quarter of my day is spent working and a quarter of my day is spent on sleeping. Unfortunately, I've wasted my 8 hours sleep staying awake. Not that I want to. I just couldn't succumb to REM. I want so sleep. But I can't. And I don't know why.

Since I won't be getting enough sleep, I just had to do what I usually do to stay awake. A cup of coffee, to start the day! I should be happy about one thing. I don't need to drive later as I have assigned myself a driver of the week. Ok, maybe let's not be so mean. I have asked a colleague to be my carpool. *smiles brightly*

So let's get to the point where I partially agreed that working life is lifeless. Well, it's not really that lifeless if you have plans. Not just normal plans, i.e. hanging out with boyfriend/girlfriend or friends or family. Give yourself a task, i.e. plan for an overseas trip. Since we're working now, we should be able to afford some savings and some life exploration out of wherever we are right now.

That makes me realized in a span of less than a year since I started working (Aug '09), I have traveled twice to overseas.

Dec '09 - Vietnam

Apr '10 - Sri Lanka

Now it's hard to believe that I finally am planning to go to Australia. Where did that idea even come from? I had no idea. Good thing is I am going out to explore the world. Bad thing is it's going to burn a big big hole in my bank account and pile up debts I owed my parents since they're partially paying in advance for my flight ticket?

Oh well, working life IS lifeless if you don't do anything about it. I choose to make mine worthwhile even if it makes me poor and grumpy after the holiday cause I have to work. *smiles stupidly at myself*
