It doesn't get any worse?

Just when I thought everything will be fine at the end of the month; I am hoarded by a few more things which makes me feel like I just want to scream really loudly.

My car, to report, has been touched up and has been bailed out of the workshop yesterday, when I landed.
All is good, but something else is not.

My luggage which I brought with me on my business trip to KL, and which I checked in (I seldom do) was damaged when I got it.
I lodged a report with the Baggage services counter and after a few haggling with them (they claimed that they don't do minor damages or anything that is inscripted on their liability notice, which to me, is pretty much everything else and I told them off), they lodged my report, and I had to leave my poor bag with them to be fixed.

At work, I had to deal with crazy work schedules which couldn't get any crazier, and moody people who were all immersed in the stressful environment surrounding us.
I had to deal with a delivery problem regarding a new customer and it is just stressful (or maybe i am the one worrying too much)

Not just that, just when I thought I could go for a short holiday with my friends, I realized that I got the dates wrong!
They went without me, of course, since I was not able to make it...BUMMER!

Ahhhhhh......can anything else get any worse?

I hope not....

I wish for a peaceful week and weekend...and many more to come...I just want a breather

Is it wrong to honk?

I have a confession to make: I honked wrongly yesterday, at the wrong person; someone I should never have honked.

Let me start with my story; a brief one assured.

I was driving to work as usual in the morning, and I stopped at a traffic light (I was the 2nd or third car in line)
On the left was a turning junction.

When the lights were turning green, there was a Proton aeroback which stopped on the left and was trying to jump the queue by cutting into the line.

The cars before me ignored her, and I did so too (remember I totally despise queue-jumpers?)
She did not give up and was swerving her car dangerously towards mine, still insisting on moving into my line.

I was shocked and I HONKED!
At the same time, although reluctantly, I had no choice but to let her in as she was steering her car right and it was so close, it almost hit my head lights.
(after my recent accident, I was cautious and just decided to give in)

When her car took its place in front of mine, I looked up and still reeling from the frustration, I saw something plastered on the back screen of the car which caught my eye, steering my attention away from her car plate number.

There, on the screen was a sticker to indicate that the driver is an invalid/disabled person.

Imagine my horror and shock when I saw that, I felt really guilty at that point!

The story does not end there; while I was feeling guilty, the driver in front was still swerving her car dangerously as she was trying to gain control of her car (I think she's not familiar with the driving).

Fortunately though, she tried to keep to the left and I was not intent to overtake her but as she continued to swerve dangerously, I listened to myself and put on my signal to overtake her.

I kept looking at my rear mirror and there was this nagging guilt inside me.

Was I wrong to honk at her?

I am not trying to justify my actions here; but I really had no idea that she was a disabled person.
Secondly, when a car swerves dangerously towards your own car, even if you seldom honk at people, there is a need to sound the horn to alert the driver that you are on his/her side, right?

I don't know, I felt awful although everyone tells me I am not wrong, and she was in the wrong.

I just felt ever so guilty, and I pray that she will not feel bad/humiliated by the incident.

Ms or Madam, whoever you are, I really did not mean to honk at you, I just hope that you will drive more carefully in the future.

Spice up!

I don't know about you, but I start to feel like my lifestyle is falling into a dreary old pattern and it just feels like a repetition of the day before.

Wake up, go to work (8 hours), eat, go home, bathe, watch tv/read and sleep and then back to the first instance again.

It feels like my life has just been set as a loop with a counter which just resets itself each time I go to sleep and only changes after 5 counts whereby the weekend will be slightly different.

How different, not that much either, sometimes I feel that the weekends are not that exciting anymore.
It is not that I am so boring but the weather and work has leading to me being lethargic and just numb to my surroundings.

It is scary, and I just don't want to waste my life away like this....

Age is another factor I presume, as we grow older, we do not seem to find excitement in the things we used to jump up and down about when we were in our teens.
Perhaps we have strengthened the conventions for ourselves and constantly remind ourselves to stick to it?

I am glad that I at least realize that my routine is boring and can at least try to spice it up a little.

I think our minds are the most powerful control system in the world; it just snaps into lazy mode and that's where we start to allow ourselves to just drag our feet without any sense of motivation.

The weather is partly to blame for my lacking in the fashion section.
It has been so hot and humid lately that everyone just feels lazy and just want to slip on an airy and comfortable (preferably cotton) outfit and easy-to-slip-on sandals.

I don't even feel like making myself look particularly fashionable; although I still made sure that I look appropriate to walk out that door.

It is really sickening to feel that I have been slacking in keeping myself but at least I still do realize it and well, to spice things up a little, at least I find fun in organizing my wardrobe and arranging my work wear (work again!) for the week.

Oh of course, colors are vital to make me feel vibrant and cheerful....as long as they are cotton and light material please!

Sick is the most annoying thing in the world

After battling some unusual/unwanted/unwelcome zits on my face for a week or so, I was finally ready to heave a sigh of relief when they were gone.

However, I did not prepare for myself to fall sick, and badly too!

I was kinda happy that I have been healthy for the past few months and was trying to set a record not to fall sick (or I was also just plain too busy to be sick), and then it just hit and I cannot ignore it as the sinus pains were just too bad to bear.

Following the sinus pains, come the flu and the throat.
Gosh, I took almost 5-7 days to fully recover and walk on my feet in a stable condition without feeling dizzy or wobbly when I walk for a while.

The medicine had a strong effect on me too as I felt really weak and had a hard time breathing.
As if that is not enough, I could not get to sleep at night although the flu medicine was supposed to cause drowsiness.

It was really one of the worst points in life when you feel sick, weak and helpless and constantly tired all the time.

I am happy that I am finally back; although my breathing is still a little weak due to the lousy weather.

When I was sick, I kinda missed going out...no, not to work lar...I just had a sudden urge to go shopping or walk around and enjoy browsing around.

Maybe that is always what keeps our willpower to recover? =)
