I have resumed my attempt to combat Monday blues since I went back to "normal" life.
According to an article in "My Paper", one of the ways to feel less blue is to stop indulging in "good food" over the weekends. Oops, this is really tough for a glutton like me. I would have to find some alternative solutions.
Some of my measures to combat Monday blues include:
1) Complete all the household chores (especially ironing) by Saturday
2) Exercise
3) Stay at home on Sunday night
4) ......
I'm still looking for more ways to help me feel less blue. Any other suggestions? :)

An Early Day
I reached home relatively early today and was quite happy to be able to catch the last bit of 《同心圓》. All thanks to my colleague who gave me a lift home. If not, I would have taken ages to reach home from the other part of the island.
I am still trying to adjust to my new life. Cooking dinner everyday is no longer quite possible but I'll try to work out something when I am more adjusted. It's really not easy. I wonder how people with kids actually manage.
Came home at 7.30 pm last night, dumped my things and went for a jog. I thought I would just run one round since the sky was getting dark. Ha, just when I was about to stop, I heard this song and decided to continue running. :)
那阳光碎裂在熟悉场景好安静
一个人能背多少的往事真不轻
谁的笑谁的温暖的手心我着迷
伤痕好像都变成了曾经
全剧终看见满场空座椅灯亮起
这故事好像真实又像虚幻的情景
只是那好不容易被说服的自己
借口又顶不住懊恼的侵袭
好后悔好伤心想重来行不行
再一次我就不会走向这样的结局
好后悔好伤心谁把我放回去
我愿意付出所有来换一个时光机
对不起独自回荡在空气没人听
最后又是孤单到天明
真的痛总是来得很轻盈没声音
从背后慢慢缓缓抱着我就像你
你和我还有很多的地方还没去
为何留我荒唐的坐在这里⋯⋯
好巧，昨天早上腦海中迴盪的正是這首《時光機》⋯⋯

Back to Reality
After nearly 6 months, my HDB tai-tai life came to a close on Wednesday, 18 June 2008.
Yup, I am now back to the workforce and I am trying very hard to get used to a relatively routine lifestyle. It's only been 3 days and I miss my life as a home maker so much. I can no longer watch so much TV, wake up (and sleep) as and when I like, go shopping during other people's office hours and laze at home......
After 6 long years, returning to the corporate world is a very frightening experience for a timid person like me. I guess I would have to learn to protect myself and work smart. Oh, must learn to combat Monday blues too ......
Honestly, I think home maker is the job that suits me the most (haha) but sad to say, I can't do this forever. The time has come for me to face reality and go back to the harsh REAL world. I still do not know what I really want. I guess I may never find the answer. Perhaps I shouldn't even dwell on this topic in the first place. I might be happier if I could just stop thinking so much.
My new boss told me on my first day that no one is happy every day but if one is happy on most days, it would be good enough.
I guess I need to change the way I perceive things. At the end of the day, it's all a matter of perception, isn't it?

@ T1
We are @ Changi Airport Terminal One right now. We had breakfast at Toast Box earlier and toured the transit area of T3. Ha, our shopping spree began even before we set foot on Bangkok - the shopping paradise.
To date, this is the shortest and least planned trip we have ever taken. For once, there is no pre-planned itinerary and we have not even decided where our first stop should be. I guess any shopping mall will do, as long as it's air-conditioned.
Will be back soon, in a couple of days time. :)

誰知道我的迷惘⋯⋯
我究竟想怎樣？？？被問及太多次，始終沒有答案。
“成功是咱自己看自己得起”⋯⋯我努力提醒迷惑的自己.
怎樣才能不被世俗所困累？我不知道。
究竟那是一種天真的堅持，還是我根本從未清醒？
自己跟自己拔河，思緒越來越紛亂。真的能隨心所欲嗎？還是該做現實的考量？
快樂輿認同如何取捨？

AH's Wedding
It's AH's BIG day today. Our 美女 is finally tying the knot and I feel so happy for her.
This wedding is kind-of different. AH fell ill last year so she had to postpone her wedding. If not for the sudden illness, she would have been married since last December.
Life is so unpredictable. I am glad that she managed to overcome all the difficulties with the support of her family and hubby. Though the recovery process is slow, I believe that she will get better by the day.
Congratulations, AH! :)

最近比較忙
最近真的很忙—忙著增肥和瞎拼。
五月的“節慶”最多，生日、結婚紀念日，還有各大大小小的聚會都是大塊朵頤的最佳藉口。過度攝取卡路里後換來的只有懊悔、懊悔，以及更多的懊悔。只能怪自己定力不足，無法抵擋美食的誘惑。
往年六月，我們有大半個月不在這裡，所以沒有真的在GSS期間瞎拼。今年，我雖然有閒，卻沒甚麼錢，原則上應該節制。不過，我還是向物質的誘惑低頭了⋯⋯
截至今天，我買了
1）兩件上衣
2）兩件連身裙
3）兩双球鞋
我想我該去找工作了。哈哈哈哈哈！
神啊，救救我吧！

SMS from Hong Kong
I received a SMS from CH at slightly past 9 in the morning today. He texted, " Ah Xin just walked past me. We are staying in the same hotel as them."
Apparently, HM's sister went to Hong Kong to watch their last "Down to Earth" concert and she was staying in the same hotel as Mayday. She was very lucky! She saw them before they left for the concert venue last night and this morning before they left for the airport.
WOW! I am sooooooooo ENVIOUS!
