Everyone should have read it somewhere, be it newspaper column or magazine or even horoscopes.. Yeah that quote which asks us to do something different from our daily routines, be it an extra flight of steps, skipping a few bus stops through walking or even trying out a new breakfast set from the usual bread-and-butter..

Today i tried something more hectic, somewhat radical changes to the daily routine..

1) 6 hours of sleep
ok i guess i've slept too much for the past 2 days, sick in bed.. Wednesday was the scariest day by far; who would have thought a diarrhoea will cause you fever, a great confusion within your head, and you ends up shivering in cold sweat on your bed having weird dreams over and over again.. Yeah thats how i spent my wednesday afternoon alone at home.. Not that it's something to complain, its just that it serves as a good reminder how important health is, and the opportunity costs to it (i had to skip an interview whose job earns $10/hr, and an outing with qt to buy his birthday celebration) sian to the max, like what ken say i really need more luck zzzz...

2) Tried doing 3 things in 1 go
This is actually rather hectic; first i load clothes into my washing machine and let it do its job, so maybe i had around 30+ minutes before its ready.. Then i tried eating breakfast, a light one with 2 slices of bread and coffee, while cooking lunch! Lol thats when i wished i was an octopus hahah.. Really an interesting time when i multi-task like crazy.. Stirring porridge while munching my bread away, cutting cabbages while drinking coffee in between, ensuring the porridge dont get burnt while i putting out the laundry and finally settling down for a somewhat breakfast part 2, the remainder for lunch later after i finish more chores..

3) Planning my schedule ahead
Alrights this cannot be considered as a radical change 'cos i'm almost always in the planning mode, though sometimes its called 'daydreaming' hahah... Right now i taking a break from breakfast part 2, then i guess maybe finishing up 2 more chores before settling down for lunch proper, and then cleaning up and going to the library to return and borrow books.. Should be meeting up with friends for dinner i guess, not before buying a screen protector for ken's gf.. Hmmm a day well spent and hopefully smoothly executed..

4) The sudden brainwave
As i was making myself busy with multi-task this morning, i had this sudden lightbulb blinking up in my head.. Like most part of life, isnt it really about doing laundry, eating breakfast, cooking lunch all at the same time? What i mean is at no point in life are we solely devoted to doing a burden-laden task, be it working, household chores, stuffs that we feel stressed and forced doing it and are rather unhappy with it.. For example when i'm eating breakfast, i was wishing someone could have been there helping me to look out for the porridge or loading the washing machine.. Its similar in life that we are always wishing people around us would offer their helping hands and share our burdens, but how many times do we actually request sincerely for it? It might have been human nature or simply the stupid word 'pride'; but most of the time we would just swallow it down and carry on doing.. Some may crumple from the stress of the burden; some blame the whole world for their plight when really they are refusing help and care most of the time, the 'strong outside but fragile inside' kind of people; but there are plenty who would just say, "If life gives me lemons, i will make lemonade!" or similar philosophies; they just keep on walking, believing that there's really a bright end at the tunnel ahead.. And i think from a bleach manga collection the 1 benefit i've gained from the numerous rereadings is that in times of crisis, the mutual support from everyone is very important.. Is there any advantages if we were to add in even more feelings of anger and hatred into the crisis?

Allow me 1 last time to gloat over my failed plan before ORD, but had it been successful i would have been working now, optimistically with a class3 license and really having much more fun than now... but then again, life's never about looking at the past but rather walking towards the future...
