ICT looming

It has been more than a month since my last post. More specifically, I haven't been in the mood for any updates ever since I came back from my Canada and New York trip. Albeit physically exhausting, I found the trip really therapeutic. Why? I'm not too sure myself. Perhaps walking alone by myself for long periods of time gave me the much needed serenity that I have been craving. Its kind of ironic that this happened in one of the busiest cities in the world. Anyway, New York is definitely a place I'll go back to again, only this time, I'll make sure to go back in warmer weather. There are still so many things and places I have yet to explore.

Anyway,part of the reason why there had been no updates is that the last few weeks have been filled with the same mundane humdrum. Going to work early, listening to demanding people, leaving late. I've been so busy with work that I haven't had time for anything else. Things are looking to be pretty much how they were last year, which can't be a good sign. In any case, I've heard that 3 more of my colleagues are leaving. I have not ventured to ask why, but I guess there comes a time when you've just about had all you can take. Its the courage to call it quits that I wholeheartedly applaud. I might do just that one of these days, when push really comes to shove. Now if I only knew where was my boiling point....

In any case, all office-weary activities have now taken a backseat. I'm on leave now and starting next week, will be on my annual two week military pilgrimage. Unlike most of my contemporaries, I eagerly look forward to this time of year. Its a time where thinking is relegated to the lowest echelon possible on the hierarchy of daily affairs. Its a time where I can literally just do nothing constructive all day and still not feel a wee bit unsatisfied with how the day went out. In short, its like a paid-for resort holiday. The only downside is the physical activities that accompany said holiday. I just hope we don't get too much of that.
