CNY Blues...
As we reached the end of the week coming to CNY, it seems like there is so much unfinished business for me to complete by this weekend so that I have no worries about work anymore for the CNY week. Yours truly has reached his Business Plan (target), one week ahead of closing date...A new year is a new beginning. I dont want to have last year's backlog haunting me during my holidays.
Unfortunately, this issue will result you neglecting your quality time with your loved ones, be it family or friends or your significant other. Well as some will say, "What to do? you have no choice", or “it’s okay, work is more important”, there are some who will just sulk at the fact that their other half would rather work than spend some time with their loved ones.
However, as we all know, and as everyone will debate about this issue till the cow comes home, money is everything...well close to everything. We’re busy working our ass off just to earn some moolah, and in return, for all the things that we do. Simple as that.
Let's take a very small example. We need the moolah for CNY right? New clothes, New home appliances, the red packets, the decor, the hairstyle, makeup, accessories, jewellery, service the car, maintain the car, upgrade the in-car entertaintment (ICE), give some for parents...clear all your previous debts from Credit card or friends, the list goes on. Hell, we need moolah to travel also right back to hometown...toll, petrol, service the car before the long journey home or to vacation...
And it also applies to those in love. We need money to come over to pick you up, pay the toll, parking ticket, lunch/dinner/drinks/supper
Adds up to almost the ultimate conclusion that money is everything right?
Well...it is. But, money cant buy love. money cant buy happiness, money cant buy health, money cant buy your feelings. You can sell your soul to the company you work for by immersing yourself with their workload, fight for the company, die for the company…SiGh…in the end it’s still not your dad’s or your grandfather’s company…you’re still working for a monthly salary also what. Even if you’re promoted to manager level also so what? You still have to spend more time to the company, so that they can justify the salary they give you. Remember…the more they pay you, the more they expect from you. Life is this simple…face the fact that being a manager does not guarantee that you will have better quality of life. Money, yes. Time spent for the family…hmmm…I leave you all to decide.
There are some who purposely work their ass off for other reason as well. This week I have been working harder than any given day for one single purpose…to stop missing HER more than I can handle now.
Reason? We have never been apart for more than a week since we first met each other. Most out of most is 6 days I think…and now since I will be busy with my sales closing till Friday, and she’s leaving back to her hometown early Saturday, we might miss a chance to meet each other for this week. Tonight I got to run outstation for PR work (CNY gifts to my clients) and tomorrow…Sigh…seems like the inevitable will happen. I’m going to miss her for another 7 days.
The fact that when reality strikes last week that we might be apart for 12 days, I was crushed. I fumbled myself on the last day of our date last Sunday as I don’t know what to do, how to react…it’s so hard when you’re facing reality and many people would capture the opportunity to enjoy the fullest while it lasted. For someone like me who looks forward…it’s difficult. It’s tough…it’s torturing. Sometimes I just do not know what to SMS her, what to reply, what to talk to on the phone, as I do not want her to worry that I’m missing her…very much. Well at least i did a good job of letting her not to worry bout me...i guess.
This whole week I have been so into my work, once I saw my bed I just dump myself into it and doze off till the next morning. Unfortunately in the wee hours of this morning I just cant get myself to sleep. Woke up at 3am just now and my mind went blank for the next 8 hours until I decided “what the heck…just type something to drain off some excess adrenaline… and hence…this blog appeared now.
Reading back what did I wrote…Sheesh…what the fuck is this? Hahah…
But anyways…before everyone goes back to their hometown,
Before the highways are jammed,
Before the phone network gets congested,
Before we log off for the CNY weekends and wont be checking out each other’s site for a week,
Before I die of loneliness…
I sincerely wish everyone a very Happy and Red Chinese New Year. May the year of the Ox brings good health, happiness, prosperity and wealth to you and also to your family members, oh and of course…to your significant other. Hehe…
Cheers ya’ll …be back next Thursday…Sigh…gotta work next week.
