Journal of My Joblessness!- 26 August (Friday)

Holiday just around the corner!
Although it seems quite weird to be taking a break when I'm technically already on a break (What am I running away from?), I am looking forward to spending the weekend in Tioman with Lisa. Not only because it will be a good break from my usual routine, but also because it will allow me to spend some quality time with her, which is a high priority during my time off.

Things done:
- Breakfast date with Lisa at Holland Road food center. Another great family tradition!
- Gardening got cancelled! Instead Yong Shen and I went to The Coffee Academics (Scotts Square). Of course this was Yong Shen's idea, because I was thinking of Yah Kun when I suggested we get coffee. But I was not at all disappointed! I had a great coffee, sprinkled with pepper. Kudos to Yong Shen for the great coffee suggestion.
- Movie with Rishil and his friend- Rustom. Much better than I expected.. and heck, it was good to watch something different for a change.
- Submitted my application for Stage One of MDS' interview process. High five to me!
- Finished a good book- Fat, Forty and Fired, by Nigel Marsh.
Lessons Learnt:
Good quote from the book:
"Anais Nin once remarked that life expands or contracts in direct proportion to one's courage... I didn't want to settle for a life of regret and disappointment. I passionately believe that if you eradicate your limiting assumptions, raise your expectations and work damn hard at your goals, it's remarkable what you can achieve. If you have the right attitude you can have a damn good laugh while you're at it as well."- I like this and want to remember it.
