Dizzy Smiles of the Daisy Kind
Friday, November 17, 2006
I have had a LONG LONG LOOOOOOONG week. Work has been extra dra
ining this week. Sleep deprivation, commuting and having to stand for 7 hours for 2 days talking and talking and talking is EXTREMELY tiring. It was fun, but by Wednesday, I was in LaDeeDa land, singing ZZZZZZZZs in my office but doing it ever so quietly....(In case my boss reads this, No, I did not sleep in my office, but I may as well be cos I was probably operating at 5% of my usual capacity). It's now the weekend but not really a weekend for me yet cos I still have ONE more day, yes ONE MORE DAY of my part time job and I can have my well deserved 2 day weekend for the first time in 3 months! Tomorrow is still going to be a full day of running around, making things happen and getting things done.

Tomorrow is still going to be a full day of running around, making things happen and getting things done.I've come to realise over the past couple of months that when you are always busy at work, you suddenly realise the worth of time, that the cliche saying that Time = Money is ACTUALLY true. That epiphany in itself should tell you I had a very NON taxing job previously. Too bad though that MANY Bruneians are in jobs that do not tax them and as such not many Bruneians appreciate that Time IS Money. All you have to do is look for tons of people waiting in line for absolute ages for whatever they need done in government offices. If I only have 1 day (Saturday) of each week to get stuff done, I want them done FAST.. cos I need my time with the family, go out and enjoy a meal, and catch Casino Royale and watch Dennis Craid (edited: Dennis? who the hell's Dennis Craig.. I meant DANIEL) kick arse as the new James Bond (Shaken or Stirred Mr Bond - Do I look I give a damn! - what a response!). sigh... but I have learnt a valuable lesson about time. It is the ultimate NON-renewable resource that many waste away without even an inch of thought about it.
In any case this Sunday, Icklebooks will be opening their doors for the masses of children and their parents, myself being one of them. I shall be bringing my DVX along to film some stuff so if you see a guy holding what looks like a sonic gun that'd be me. Just drop by to say hi and hopefully that dizzy smile of mine would have worn off, replaced by a somewhat more conventional welcoming one..
Have a good weekend people.

Working times is very taxing. So if you get that extra time, it better be well spent on your family. Don't procrastinate when dealing with family matters.
Agree agree. that's why it is difficult to do anything commercial for my videography.. it takes too much time away from my family and free time.....
