Journal of My Joblessness!- 25 August (Thursday)

Simple day!
Things done:
- Breakfast at home with Lisa. Great to start the day with her. I'm glad I haven't signed up for SITC workouts every morning of the week. I would be missing out.
- Got my French speech corrected. Quite a few suggestions - that's great! A lot to learn.
- Finalized my application to MDS and sent it over to Kevin and Lisa for their comments. I'm happy that I am still able to set and meet personal deadlines.
- Drum class at Lavender. Four-way coordination work is getting more intense and way more interesting. Added double stroke rolls into our practice. These are all areas where I need to do quite a significant amount of work personally!
- French practice over a cup of kopi, at Harianns (Bugis Junction). It is moments like this that make me happy to be alive and extremely happy that I decided to take a break from work.
It is quite surprising that I have never once regretted quitting my job at FGE. Despite their offer of added responsibility, extra money and the potential to be recognized as one of the key contributors to FGE's research work, the negatives really outweighed the positives. The fact that I have no second thoughts or regrets now is proof to me that I made the right choice.
- Late afternoon swim. Tried to find my 'jogging' speed and it worked! Swam 700m without stopping... well if you don't count the time an uncle next to me asked me how I was able to keep going. Hahaha.. if only he knew what a noob I was!
Looking forward to swimming again next week... I have officially pushed the bar way higher!
- Dinner with Lisa at Holland Village food court followed my dessert at Project Acai. Keeping one day a week as our Quality Couple Time (QCT) is a really great idea. Doesn't matter what we do, as long as we spend a good time together. Of course, sex afterwards is always a major plus. :)
Lessons Learnt:
Simple isn't always bad. I had a really low-key and simple Thursday. But it was great.
