Work and Rest : they are twins......

I thought I am feeling the post holidays blues today. I was still  at Seremban this morning and with a bad night sleep, I only woke up at 12pm, with my kid next to me who was still sleeping. Well, I guess the cough and flu medication he took makes him drowsy. I was staring at the ceiling after I opened my eyes and I thought to myself...well...I will be staring at the ceiling in my Singapore room tonight. Since my little Nicole was also down with fever where my wife took her to the doc, I made some milk for my kid, who was awake shortly, and let him drank on the bed.

It was quite a tired and depressed ..err..mid noon as I was sipping nescafe and having charcoal bread while watching Astro at my in law's place. The thoughts of the outstanding work waiting for me back in the office doesn't sounds comforting.  I was preparing to break for the CNY holidays two fridays nights ago and it seems so fast.:(

Thank God I had a great journey with a wonderful weather. The traffic was smooth all the way to JB and I only took my break at Machap after a 2 hour drive. We reached at around 6pm plus and we ended up at our favourite HK restaurant in Taman Molek for dinner.

OK, I be back to work tomorrow and the wonderful holiday seasons starting from the school holidays in Dec till CNY is over. The easy and relaxing season is over and time to get to back to cold, hard work. hahha... Anyway, on a positive note, without work there will be no holidays. How true.... if  there's no work, everyday is like a holiday, but minus the wages and income.

Life needs to be work and play. Sabbatical rest only comes after long hard work. If you're feeling the blues, remember holidays will only be sweeter after a satisfying job well done. Now, work well and plan your next holiday break.

Have a good mid-week. :)

  15. Hmmm... I'm different... I dun exactly love holidays... mebbe it's because now I'm freelancing and it doesn't really make any difference to me. Anyway, i need to work to stay motivated and positive. Work keeps my mind alot off negative things.

    ps: Is ur kids ok now? Give all my hugs and kisses to them, k?
