I love this quote by Sir Oscar Wilde. It forms a major part of my outlook on life and it has made me into a more relaxed person (my folks & sister are the exact opposite, and blimey do they stress out regularly!). I always want to be easy-going, loose, have a good time, and be a real boy while at it. 😉
BUT, when friends, cousins, other members of the general populace, start taking your niceness/lightness for granted and step over your head, then it’s time to get serious. I’ve seen the effect when this sudden switch in interaction style takes place: everybody becomes quiet as they process what has been delivered. And that’s how you re-draw the line. I need to do exactly that with regards to my cousins; they just aren’t aware of the boundary between joking and rudeness.
Okay, let’s not make this too rigid, shall we (why so serious?). Let’s proceed with the blogpost.
- UK region work shift – I finally got my UK time and the working logistics are a lot more comfortable! I’m operating in loans administration and I spent the first week learning up about things such as syndicated loans, project finance & loan trading.
- Ear-piercing – I went for this little girl’s ear-piercing ceremony (it’s somewhat like a ‘rite-of-passage’ in Hindu culture) and after the first earlobe-prick, she was in tears not long after. But credit to her, after settling down, she served sweet foodstuffs to the guests.
- Thaipusam 2016 – I followed my friend to Batu Caves as he was taking the kavadi from the riverbank all the way up the flight stairs to the cave temple at the top. I had my picture taken with the largest Lord Murugan statue in the word and later helped carry the kavadi to the tent area.
- New instagram account – In order to overcome my perfectionist problem (I want my insta pics to be without flaw), I set up another insta account solely to take it easy with my IG activities! Goodness!
Quick review of the week: Good to have actually started with my ACCA studies, but amount of work done is very low indeed. Good to have started on the press-ups but it’s very early steps as of now. Btw, I went out for a run in the evening today – gosh am I yawning away at this very moment!
Good night folks!
