Summer Ramble


Since the TV streaming has failed me, I've diverted myself to another medium of entertainment: blog about myself.

First of all, the Thailand trip. Other than the good, cheap Thai food, beers, and accommodation, the traveling around the island was different from my past holidays where I usually stay at one place for a week or so and just do nothing but swim, run, and tan the whole day, then get wasted at night.

I haven't made up my mind of which one is better, all I can say for now is that it's --- unusual, different, and noiiice.

Then it's the coming down from the holiday high. Despite the trip was only 8 days, returning was actually a shock to the system. From a after 5pm schedule now working from 9 to 5 is not what I call a smooth transition from a holiday. I'm yet to get used to the schedule of sleeping and waking up and honestly, even though the hours are more and it's only temporary, it has been painful trying to be enthusiastic for the kids when I am still groggy from a restless night.

There is, however, a good thing from a normal working hour, is that I am appreciating the days of the week more rather than it blending all into one from my nocturnal hours. Now, I get the 'real' weekend that includes both Saturday and Sundays off. So Friday now, is the light at the end of my tunnel each week.

So now, I basically have to listen to my body more when it is tired or awake; moreover, get a bicycle that I can scoot around the city all day.
