Recently, I have been jogging every weekend. It is quite clear that my stamina is improving. This was what I wished for and yet I am gradually losing motivation to run. Perhaps it is only today. The weather was so hot and sunny that my skin hurts when I reached home. It is so difficult for me to wash my face after that. Yes, I am sun burnt.
Well, just one more week to go before the Chinese New Year. I guess this week would be a rather busy one. Since there are quite a number of colleagues taking their leave. It seems like I should be more professional in addressing them. After all, this is all the same every where, typical work life. No wonder there are so many novels and manga out there which criticize the office workers in their country. It is not only repetitive works, the days you have are almost always the same, eventually you will just stop thinking entirely as thinking will only cause more pain and unjust. Of course, I know that not everyone experiences this, however, I bet the majority do.
So I wonder, what kind of plans do you have during the Chinese New Year? I bet yours would be more interesting than mine. I am very interested in how people celebrate their major occasion though I do not look forward to mine. Most of the time my family will be busy with work during Chinese New Year due to the nature of our jobs. This year, there is no difference. I will probably got to work normal hours during the reunion dinner, hence, I doubt I would make it in time for our family dinner. During the first day, we are likely to gather in our grandma house. After that, there will be nothing more to do. As usual, it is just another boring week. (Since I said I will try to be positive, I will add a positive sentence in the midst of all negative ones. Well, look on the bright side, at least I will get to jog more days the following week.) I bet you guys will have more plans as compared to mine. Any gambling or partying?
I have tried to study a little today. Yes, I did so. The bad thing was I only cover one chapter and got complacent. I have the entrance test coming up in March and I shouldn't be slacking as much as I always do. Well, I guess I still have sufficient time to cover all the material for the exam. However, I am not sure if I have sufficient time to practice.
One important thing I missed out was my brother quit his part time job this week. It is a long story, but to make this story short: He was criticized by a consultant that visited his class. Apparently, he wasn't approved of his teaching methods and claimed that there are parents who complained about it. So he decided to drop an email to his boss explaining the situation. In the end, he was asked to hand in a resignation letter and to quit immediately. It was his first time teaching, and he was not an experience teacher. The company knew that when they took him in, however, I don't understand why they would not give him the chance to learn and gain experience through time. It was only his fourth lesson and he was already asked to quit. They did not compensate him at all. This made him unwilling to go and find another job right now. I know that perhaps it takes time for him to learn and understand that he will not be able to survive without a part time job and money. Since our financial situation is kind of grave, we will not be able to support him, giving him allowances for his study everyday. I guess it is true that the society are heartless and ruthless. Only the rich and fittest (depending on how you define this) will survive. (This is just for recording purposes.)
I realize that this post is kind of long. I just had some things that I want to keep a record of. I am thinking of doing some product reviews recently, however, I can't guarantee if I will have the time and concentration to do them up soon. I will just try my best.
With respect to my job search, as usual, there have been zero news. I hope I will hear something the coming week, though I will not put too much hope into this. Being too hopeful will only hurt yourself in the end. Just like how it does to my mum. I learn quite a number of things just by looking at her. Perhaps, it may not be a norm to act the way that I do, however, it made my life simpler and easier to live.
So I hope everyone who is reading this had a good weekend. Be it partying, drinking, gathering, or just doing what you love. As long as that makes you happy and smile, I know you had a good time. Of course, we should minimize hurting others in the progress. Enjoy the remaining night and let's all work hard (moderately) the upcoming week. Cheers~
