the depressing quarter of the year.

yes, its the depressing quarter of the year. the first wave comes during christmas season. the second during new year countdown. and the third during chinese new yr or valentine’s day whichever you choose to affect u more.

its depressing becos u’ve prolly had the best fun u’ve ever had during the same period last yr. i miss australia suddenly. in australia, where u’ll always find the time and the great company to party the nights away, where alcohol is cheaper than water, where there’s great music, where everyone is just there to have a good time.

and when u’re thrown into the working field, there’s this voice within u, saying that u shouldn’t let anything affect ur work performance. there’s this certain urgency to grow up, which i just can’t keep up with. many a times i find myself humming the tune of corrinnemay’s superhero girl at work.

like what the lyrics say, i feel like a little girl, trying to conquer the whole wide world.

its like i’m being forced to grow up, to give up on having fun. and just when i thought i was really settling into the monotonous working lifestyle, a night out with the aussie peeps that was “hideously toned down, compared to what we had in australia”, made me realise what i was missing, and makes it even harder for me to bend towards the mundanes of corporate slavery.

to strike a balance between work and play is what everybody says. but i’m standing one foot on the work side with my hands and other foot clinging onto the other.
