A whole morning of thinking.
in a week of 168 hours. I have
50 hours of sleep ( 118 hours left )
48 hours of lectures ( leaving only 70 hours left )
40 hours at work ( only 30 hours left )
14 hours of meal time ( 16 hours )
7 hours of travellling ( 9 hours )
3 hours of volunteering ( 6 hours ! )
Technically, I have 6 hours left every week to meet up with my friends, do my assignments, catch up on unfinished work, listen to music, watch some TV, play some games. And 6 hours is not enough ! I miss out on sleep, take notes and get work done simultaneously during lectures to finish work...
Really, I dont have much times on my hands and sometimes I feel that I have too much on my plate. so... i took this morning off to think about the good things i have around me.
I have truly remarkable friends that make me laugh,
I have
- friends who associate every mahjong tile we draw with Naan Bread ! causing
- friends who drive at 110km/h to get Indian Garlic Naan, butter chicken and prawn masala across town at 2am in the morning
- friends who listen to Jay Chou and drive their boyfriends mad while they are driving !
- friends who go laptop shopping with you till they go mad and support your decision to buy a mac in the end !
- friends whom you see on MSN and give you a mission to complete by the time he gets back from Australia at year end !
- friends who call you the night you bought a mac to tell you that I should have waited a few months more ( just to bug you ! )
- friends whom introduce you to ice cream mixed with finely grounded tim tams, cookies, jelly beans, granolas, m & m, shortbread, gummy bears, ( name it, they have it )
- friends who help you make the most logical decisions in the most un-logical times.
- friends who tell you their most embarrasing behaviour because they are comfortable with you knowing
- friends who get angry when other friends are unable to make a gathering ! ( hahahaha )
- friends who change a meeting place and not tell you when they have changed it !
- friends who get confused on the highway and listens blindly to their friends who are just as lost !
- friends who watches documentaries on their flights from Paris and Scotland and tells you the dirty details in an ice-cream shop
- friends who misses the good'o days of growing up
- friends who make an effort to have cook-outs together to talk about our goofy days
- friends who really knows the importance of standing by one another
- and friends who know that without either of the other group members, the group is not really complete
so.. to the goofy ones, the ones that always keeps the rest waiting, the one that has an absolutely need to take over the world, the one that is addicted to poker, the one that cannot do business, the one that is missing in downunder, the one that shops, the one that dreams of getting married (and the list goes on )
I truly think that you are remarkable and I really appreciate the times we hang out. making the 6 hours the highlight of my week, the 6 ( sometimes more ) hours a good save from HELL, providing a good balance for my mental health and for making smile and laugh a lot. I know its only 6 hours but it better than 50 hours of Spa or 100 hours of shopping !
For my friends for are going through hell week at work, If at first, it seems like you are losing, its ok...... take heart... it's not over till its over... ( watch the video ) for now.. I am going back to work.......
OH ! and friends who gave me the link to this video.
