Appreciate the beauty of a simple life

47th entry: 25april2006 23:10
listening to: bring me to life - evanescence

I have longed so much for this week to arrive because this will be the week where I'm 'clearing my leave' and my mind is put to relaxed mode. Some of my friends knew that my relief teaching stint at YNPS was a rather stressful one. Indeed it was. In fact, I was so glad that I can have the luxury of waking up late and not having to worry that I can't cover the syllabus by week 8. The idea of just slacking around and basically live life at a slower and more natural manner prompted me to drop whatever unnecessary commitments I have this week.

Learning to appreciate life when it is simple: home-cooked dinners, no fixed schedule to follow, freedom to do whatever you want, long naps on rainy afternoons. Such therapy don't come easy and I believe it takes a little courage to put away everything else to pursue this little pocket of freedom in such a hectic and impoverished society.

Learning to appreciate the opportunities gained and lost: so many times we thought we could do better and achieve what we set out to get, but we were also often blinded by other goals along the way and end up losing our directions. take a step back and make sure you have enough space to view yourself and others in a different light. reassess why you had allowed some opportunities to slip by. slow things down and you will find youself making better decisions and finding the right direction again. another advice: break up your task into many smaller ones instead of seeing it as one huge task to accomplish, the motivation of pursuit will also come in smaller waves, pushing you towards your eventual goal.

i'm supposed to leave my mind alone for these few days. but because of an apparent lack of business in my life right now, my mind is also forced to generate more ideas as well. also, being appreciative of what we so often tend to neglect. before we know it, it may just be too late and those fond memories you could have collected may just leave you for good. so friends out there, just sit down and think of nothing except your breathing. you will find many unexpected surprises from that.

wah, i was also overwhelmed with the numerous flashbacks i had these few days. many fond memories of JC times (eating lunch at ghim moh food centre after school as a class, stoning in the canteen during breaks, mugging in school library, songwriting sessions on mondays, songwriting showcase in 2003!!), sec school days (weekly volleyball training sessions at Pei Chun in Toa Payoh, staying back after school for no apparent reason, volleyball matches and friendlies, Sec 2F'99 outings), NS (many more fonder memories cos it hasn't been too long since I've left the army). I love flashbacks. They are a reminder of how time passes so quickly and a testament of my 'good' memory of course!
