It's tiring to blog

I am finally blogging after a long hiatus. I feel like there is no one out there that is reading this ... unless you consider the random person who might stumble across the blog while looking for something interesting. (Sorry .. nothing is happening here .. move along ..) Anyway, it seems like work sucks out the desire to switch on the comp. I stare at the laptop at work for about 8 hours. I don't want to come home and stare at the screen again.

But today is different - i am online mainly cos i realise that i want to sell something (my german language set that i bought a few years ago and now realise that i have lost interest in that language). Also i have been considering getting some Indonesian language set so that I can learn some Indonesian. haha .. hopefully i can communicate with Stef when i meet him the next time.

One thing about working though - you treasure your social life more. You are more concerned about maintaining the relationships and friendships built before starting work. So you are out whenever you can cos there is really so little time to spend outside work. One depressing fact - out of the 24 hours, we spend about 9 hours working (assuming that you don't work OT), 1 hour travelling, 8 hours sleeping, and 2 hours eating, shitting, miscellaneous. SO that leaves you with only 5 hours to do your own things. Things that do not belong to the gods of work and necessity. That is we have less than 25% of our time during weekdays.

Resolution - make better use of my time instead of wasting time vegging in front of TV or surfing aimlessly.
