Back at work

4th day of Chinese New Year and I am back at work !

I was given an option to either work or forced to take leave until next week.

Since I have just started work in this company and have yet gotten my confirmation,  I don't have any annual leave so, no choice just work.
I'm not even celebrating Chinese New Year this year anyway.

But I actually semi regret not taking leave today cause I am sososo tired and I keep on dozing off.
I should have taken leave to continue to nua at home.

Anyway the company given us 2 days of leave ahead of cny. but I kinda just blew it off without doing much things.

Throwback of the past few days;

23 Jan, I went to meet my brother from my previous company for lunch.
I promised him that I will treat him before I leave but I didnt managed to treat him as he is needed on site the very day.

Hence the treat has been delayed till now.
Went to Mr Prata to have lunch.
We ordered Chicken Fried Rice, Seared Salmon, Spring Chicken and Milkshakes.
(we wanted grilled chicken but they insert the wrong order. I also didnt check the order when I paid for it so it is partially my fault.)

We didnt manage to eat the spring chicken as we overestimate our eating abilities.
so we take-away half each. 

It is really nice meeting old colleagues after a long time. 
What I regret is that I didn't make use of my mornings well. I spent my whole morning on bed.

After meeting my brother, I went back home to wait for partner to end work before I head out to meet him for dinner and wait for my friend to come and pass me the homemade pineapple tart i bought from her.

24 Jan, we kinda just polish up our spring cleaning at partners place before heading back to my parents place for a small reunion dinner.

Then we started helping with cleaning and did a small spring cleaning in the kitchen. 
All the way till 11plus going 12
My sisters and I have scheduled another date for cleaning.

Then went over to golden mile for mookata.
we got home at like 5am 

25 Jan, First day of CNY
Partner went out with fam to bainian.
I nuaed on the bed until around 1 before I left for my grand parents house. 

It felt like usual CNY 
- good food cooked by grand dad
- bainian 
- spending the whole day there

We started playing 21 quite late so we ended at around 10+. 

Went K garden for Karaoke for second round ! 
It's my first karaoke of the year 2020.
And 3hours of singing felt too short.
there are many songs which we didnt manage to sing :(

Then we went for supper at seafood paradise at yishun.

Food is good but service not good at all.
hygiene is also really bad. 
Not sure why they got an indian guy who dont really know english to be the server. 
Got our orders wrong. 

also got home around 5am....

26 Jan
I nua till 3plus PM before I wake up to get ready to go grandparents house.

Had steamboat for dinner then we proceed to play 21. (blackjack)
played till 11 + then we went to my cousin place for 2nd round.

I was really tired at 3plus so partner and I booked grab to go home. 

27 Jan, 3rd day of CNY.
Not an auspicious day for bai nian so a non bai nian day. 

Partner's relatives are here for gathering. 
Kinda helped out partners mum a lil bit.
then i just kinda eat and nap and repeat the cycle.

The living room is filled with people so I just hide in the room for a bit. 

Anyway partner and his brother and one of his cousins also hide in the room to play ML together.

When the last relative went off,
we helped to pack up and also, wash working clothes.

Showered and went to bed at around 1plus. 

28 Jan,
The day isnt over yet but my day probably go like this ; 
Stuck at site dozing off, feeding mosquitos, watching the workers work.
Head out for dinner (I am going to meet partner and his friend for dinner)

Chiong RC and sleep.

2 Weeks left before Circuit Breaker Period is over

Only 2 weeks left before the circuit breaker period is over. Although I really enjoyed my time during this circuit breaker playing games and goofing around, But looking at the situation, I have got no choice but to start catching up with what I've missed while goofing around. A second extension seem unlikely at this conjunction. Despite still having 600 over new cases tested in the dormitory, the number of cases in the community is quite low. (OR JUST THAT WE ARE ALL NOT TESTED) That means that if everyone follow safe distancing and ensure personal hygiene, it should be safe for people to head out. Furthermore, some of the sectors are already opened for business. Which means that if there is no sudden surge of cases in the local community,  there is no need for further extension. As we are expecting no extension, it is time for us to start working hard to catch up on whatever we have left off while goofing off (Only applies if you are like me). Staying at home makes it hard for me ...

Forgetful :(

Image
Too forgetful lately. Previously I left my wallet in school. Luckily someone returned it to the office and I managed to get it back. Otherwise I would have lost $300 just to get my IC replaced. Went out for surveying with my colleagues today. Took out my tablet for photo taking and recording of notes and then my colleague asked me to help shine torchlight (using phone) at where he wanted to take photo. (To get a nicer photo) Then I totally just put down my tablet on the nearest table and forget about it there! It was until after I left the place, board a taxi, sat down and decide to take a look of the photos taken then I realised that my tablet was missing! Spent the whole journey trying to recall where I left it. My colleague deduced the correct location though my colleague claim to not see me use my tablet when we were there. Apparently after we got back and have lunch and flip through the photos my colleague took, there was a photo of me using my tablet at the room...

Procrastination :O

It seems like it's pretty hard for me to stick to the goals I have set due to me always procrastinating. I am always giving in to the monkey in my head. The battle against the need for instant gratification is real.  I want to reap the results but I don't really want to work for it :(.  While it doesn't sound fair but then that's what it is. Right now, I really just want to work on finding a system that will work for me at home and at work so that I can become more productive, organized and actually gives great output instead of wasting precious time on things that does not matter as much. Work has been hectic as there is a lot of things to handle right now. Yet I still find time to procrastinate whenever I get small and little things done. I think that should not be the case cause the project needs to be completed by November and we are still trying to figure out what is happening. Seems like I really need to step up my game and start to push for more output else I wil...
