I had a good dream last night. Of myself finding a new job, without even gg for an interview, nor did I serve any notice. It all happened in the same week. Somemore, the location is in town. I don hav to do payments. I don hav to do mth end review. Woot!

But it is juz a dream. =(

I tink it reflects how much I wish I can juz run away immediately. Nx week being the dreadful month end close week. Grrrr.

But dan again. The more u hate sometin, the more u go shld abt doing do it. Tat will help u to overcome it sooner. Like how im still tryin to figure out my new added portfolio at work. Even though I super dread it. I churn out the daily excel shit fr the bank’s website everyday but just did not get down to doing the detailed work. Trying to stay motivated is tough. Esp when everytin will start to hit me again whenever im at my weakest.

N I m still tryin to convince myself tat tins will be better after sometime. After I get hold of things. And I’ll challenge myself (n my boss) to try to cut down on some of the processes in order to be efficient! I canot understd why she needs to be so detailed in even the simplest task. lll

Time flies. Mon-wed flew past in a blink. N left me very exhausted. But hey it’s Friday again! And wkend. And Monday. And so on. Yawnz.

Run

adapted from a fren's blog, the least unlikely person to blog about love. gee.

I chance upon someone's blog - writing about relationship, and uses a running buddy as a metaphor for it.

Some points that I felt was pretty apt.

1. When you are look for a running buddy, you often look for one strong than you so that he can pace you better. Your timing can improve over time. Likewise, in a relationship, you always hope to be paired up with someone better. Someone good looking, someone with better status, someone who have much more to offer.

2. Then during the marathon/ run, you often run on your own, hoping that your buddy can motivate you, make sure that you don't give up half way. Yes, in a relationship, you often hope that your significant partner, can be your inspiration, can be your beacon, can be your shining torch under the moonlight.

3. While running, you don't wish your buddy to run too far away from you. You understand how important it is to keep sight of each other so that your buddy knows exactly how you are coping. True enough, in a relationship, distance relationship is always difficult. Lose sight, lose control. But, note - you can stay too close either. Might trip each other and injure both. Keep a safe distance, close enough to observe and react, close enough to shower care & concern, but yet not too close for comfort. Not too close that your partner feels no fresh air.

The most important take away from that entry, is that - all relationships are 2-way.

1. While you hope that your running buddy is stronger than you, your running buddy also wishes that you are stronger. So, maybe we shouldn't be so fix at getting someone better? Should we consider other factors like rapport?

2. While you wish for your partner to spur you on, please remember to encourage your partner along the way. Never mind who is stronger, there will be a point where the strong will falter and be weak. Do your part.

3. When you are the stronger one, you could be running ahead of your buddy too. But you'd need to stay close and encourage him. Don't give up on him when he is at his lowest, even if you don't mean it. Once you lose track of him, you might never get him back. Give him some chance to catch up so that both of you can move on together, faster.

i once had a running buddy who taught me how to start slow, maintain a steady and comfortable pace, and when the finish line is near, to make a sprint for it with my very last breath and might. most importantly, he jogged together with me throughout, and we sprinted together. but somehow along the way, i let go. and now i have lost sight forever.
