Difference...

It seems like once you are exposed to prolonged stressful environment, it tends to influence you in quite a negative way. In fact, due to the exposure of stress everyday, no matter whether it is due to transport or work or colleagues, I became quite irritated most of the time. Even small matters seem to make a huge difference on my emotional state. 

This shows that I will need to learn to control my emotional being as well as learn how to handle stress better. Perhaps finding some ways to distress is one of the ways I could look into. Although I may lower my expectations on my studies, work and punctuality, I certainly hope I don't end up doing that. It seems like it is just an excuse for me to pick up some bad habits of delaying studies, work and being late. 

I think that I am not making any sense in this post at all. 

Anyway, just an update on what I have been doing. I was trying to install a virtual station on my personal computer so that I can run on different operating system at the same time. 

Why am I doing so?

In fact, I would like to have a station whereby I can concentrate solely on studying and learning programming. Hence, having such a virtual machine would help in terms of maintaining my focus and concentration while minimizing the distractions most of us would have with the normal pc that we may be working on. Well, I am not sure about others, but I tend to multi-task a lot when I am using my normal windows to study and read. 

Moreover, having a virtual machine allows you to experience other operating systems that you may be curious of (at least I am). In other words, you can actually install mac OS, linux or other operating system that you have in mind to your virtual machine. While experiencing new operating system is interesting, having a chance to learn more about them will be a bonus. 

So did I succeed in doing so?

Yes! I had done installing the virtual machine loaded with linux operating system as it is free and open source. I don't really have the financial means to buy myself a Mac OS. How unfortunate. Well, linux is not far off as well. I will start picking up and learning more about how to use the linux operating system and will try to install the programs I need to study and learn more about programming on this virtual machine instead. I am sure I will be able to focus better during the weekend. 

That's all the updates for yesterday night. Well, as for today, I reached home quite late and was unable to free up any time to read more. However, I hope I can have the energy to read while travelling tomorrow. Work is not smooth going for me, this usual. Other than that, increasing requests from clients and managers are driving me to lose focus as well. It seems like I made more mistakes recently as compared to the past. I wonder how should I rectify this. I don't wish to get myself into more troubles that I am already in with little careless mistakes which can be avoid if I just focus enough. 

Perhaps, a break would be a good solution...But when? (Do you have any idea?)

No luck yet in my job search recently, though I was lucky that I didn't get caught in the thunderstorms these few days. It has been raining so heavily recently, perhaps that is the reason I am so restless at work. (Don't worry I know the weather plays a small role, if you are interested enough, even if it rains you would still swim as usual, just an analogy)

Hope you don't mind me sprouting nonsense in this post. 

Apart from that the medical bills seem to be more expensive as each month pass. I wonder if it's because of her condition and that she needs additional medications or treatment. Or is it just inflation? I should find that out this weekend if I have the time. 

As for the rest of the week, I will probably be busy configuring the setting in my new virtual machine as well as learning how to navigate around as well. I will update a tutorial the upcoming weekend. 

One last thing to jot down for myself... Man, for the rest of the week, half of the team that I am in are on leave. That means more work for me to do and well, more troubles as well. Hope I will be lucky enough to avoid most of them.

Have a good night rest. Enjoy your time after work or school! See you soon...
