Striking balance

So now that the blue moon has come and gone as Heng Lean found himself a job and is not laying at home doing nothing..... officially everyone here is a full-time worker (Jy was one at least).

You know, i used to say that working like is tough and that you have less free time yada yada no social life etc. but now that im into my second month, it doesnt seem too bad. Sure, there are times that you will struggle to keep up with time. Example: you go to work from 7am to 7pm and you come home to eat dinner and then you talk to your gf and then you go out with your friends for drinks and that sounds like you've done heaps in a day! BUT then how about the desk that you havent cleaned? How bout that book you aimed to finish in a month? How about fixing the software on your comp that has been bugging you? Not to mention after doing so much without rest during the day you end up bushed the morning despite getting the mandatory 8 hrs sleep?

In the end, you just adapt to it. I used to whine about how i wouldn't be able to keep up with my gaming needs but now id doesn't seem like a priority now. I'd much prefer to see my friends with the little free time i have to just have some kind of social life even though its just sitting and talking for an hour. Now i understand why my cousin can buy a PSP and not use it and borrowed it to me unconditionally. Where is it now? In my drawer.

In the end, it's about striking a balance, between your social life, alone time, work, hobbies, girlfriend.......and eventually you'll adapt to a routine to suit your needs. Just make sure you enjoy your life everyday =)
