Here are some questions for you to ponder. Are we really that happy? Are we really that miserable? Are we really that busy? Are we really that broke? Are we really??
Humans have the tendency to blow things out of proportions. Sometimes we do it because we want to look superior or important. Other times, we do it out of habits.
Here is an excellent example. This morning, my colleague looked like he was kind of ‘free’. He was happily browsing the Net for the US election matters whilst he listens to Red.fm and he even helped me to download Rihanna’s Disturbia song (which I did not ask him too. I only mentioned I like that song!). Then he gets a call, after exchanging greetings, I heard him say, ‘You think I am very free ah? I have 101 emails to go through and support. Just because I am not travelling, it does not mean that I am free, you know!”
We all have been guilty of that. Well, I know I have. Hahaha..
I am sure you are all familiar with this scene. You are surfing the Net or in the midst of poking your friends on Facebook then suddenly, you see your boss walking up to you. What would you do? Me? I always have another tab open that is work related. So when I see him walking, X goes my FB tab and tadaaa.. I am now updating some sales information on to the system! Yes, I am guilty of that because I am not really that busy!
Then we come to the money issue. I always wanted to pay off my credit cards. Yet, every month, I will pay less or just the minimal amount. These past months, I always seem to get a ‘surprise’ bill in my mailbox that will force me to bite into my credit card payment. That and the new book in MPH store window! Haha.. Yes, I am guilty of overspending and although I am not really that broke, but I think I am close!
Lastly, there is my weight issue. My scale, which is under my bed, has not gone below 70kg for the longest time and although I really want the pointer to travel south, I cannot seem to drag myself from the fridge or my face out off the raya cookies jar! Yes, I am guilty for not being able to control my sugar rushes but can you??
p/s: ok, ok.. I guess we will have to talk about my will power (or lack of it) in my next entry!
