10th Nov - draining

I'm tired. Work here is not all smooth sailing. I'm feeling more and more like a mindless drone these days. I'm just merely executing instructions. What's more frustrating is when I see the managers try to get away with doing stuff and it somehow makes its way onto my lap. My desk is so messy now, I haven't yet have the time to tidy it up properly. My shoulders are stiff, I've lost weight and gained eye bags. Yay, go me.

Sometimes I tell myself that maybe I need a short getaway to clear my head, but I only took a holiday no more than 2 months ago!

*sigh*

7th Nov - on wheels

Driving is stressful, at least for me, since I don't drive that often. So, it was pretty gutsy of me to arrange and even make the suggestion to drive her home. It didn't work out too awful, we're both safe and sound at home, although given a chance, I might want to study the map a little more before heading out.

The trip to her place was surprisingly ok. I had some doubts when I was exiting KPE on whether I was on the right track, panicked a little when I saw the traffic jam (there was an accident) and panicked again nearer to her place when I thought I'd missed a turn, hitting the accelerator when I should be hitting the brakes and what not.

The return trip was slightly more messy, it took me awhile before I found my way back to PIE and even then, I missed the turn slightly and debated for awhile before deciding to make an illegal turn up the expressway. It was all fine on the PIE until where I was supposed to switch to the KPE, the road split 2 ways and I wasn't too sure which one it was. Almost came to a standstill when the taxi behind me horned. ><" Randomly picked one and ended up in Aljunied. *oh well* Thankfully, I was more familiar with the roads around in that area, since Jiemin stays there and we hold our gaming session there quite frequently. So I managed to navigate my way back. Took longer than I'd expected, but still home nevertheless. Heh, hopefully I'll get it right the next time, assuming there's a next. ><"

1st Nov - Delightful

I'd like to think that I'm smiling more these days, which isn't at all a bad thing. It's like the world is more colorful and vibrant these days, makes me want to go out and see more things.

It was really enjoyable weekend, we didn't spend that much time together, but I think it was time well spent. I shared with her some of the people I hang out with and some of the things I enjoy doing.

The funniest thing that happened all weekend was when on Saturday, she asked me over msn why I had not made any attempt to hold her hand over the last 2 days ><". That took me by surprise. It's not that I didn't want to, but I just haven't mustered enough courage to do so. It's a tough call bearing in mind to be respectful, mindful of her personal space and being together. It really helps that she's very straightforward in this aspect, since I'm slow in taking up the hints (if there were any in the 1st place). But I really need to start taking initiatives. Jeanie is right, I can't always be letting her make the 1st moves...
