Productivity

I cannot remember when was the last time I go in to my office with my office wear. It has been too long. I gave myself 6 months to rest and to pick myself up and it seems like I am one week earlier...

My schedule this week is so full until I do not know which one to do first. I have done most of it as I am going home for a few more days longer next week. Life has been great for the past week. Glad to have some really nice friends to be around. From my total rejection, they have stand firm and stand by .... persevering all the non-sense emotions and actions from me. I found them amazing. I guess somehow, I am 'touched' by what they did.

Well, I cannot wait to go home this weekend to paint the rest of the places and to fix some of the cupboards and, to trim the mango trees.

Oooooo.. ya, and the kids and my brother and sister in law are coming back by this Friday. It's a very productive day today really.... from 8am until 7pm, I was working non-stop. I know there's more to come as I need to start doing all the accounting preparation. (as you notice, my mind isn't function that well already. I am exhausted, it's time to call it a day....)

De-stressing / relaxing...

There are many ways people do to relax themselves and I always have difficulties finding ways to just relax myself. Most people choose sleeping, reading books, having a cup of coffee at the beach side and me, those just not helping. I have always wonder what will help myself to relax.

I realised these few weeks that going shopping is NOT what will help me relax. Having a good full meal is NOT something I can do to relax myself. It's doing more things that will...

Over the weekend, I have painted my mom's kitchen which I have always wanted to paint. I have another toilet to do and I am going to do it this coming weekend. I have also cut down a tree and there are a few more mangoes trees' branches that's needed to be cut. I have cleaned the garden a little bit. Just before I am going off, I fixed a cupboard that's lying there to be fixed.

You think I am doing so much and that's not a way to relax? Nope. That's exactly not the case. I feel so relax and satisfactory..... So, I told my mom, that I plan to pain the whole house... bit by bit. She laughed. hahahaha...

Well... I am seriously relaxing on my lazy chair now.... online, watching TV ... Looks like I am feeling much better already.

Bad service

As a perfectionist, I always expect things, especially services be done in the satisfactory way. My previous friends told me my expectation is a bit too high sometimes. I beg to defer. I think expectation came in 2 ways and it's not just one way. They think my expectation is high because they expect my expectation is not as high. Either way, I think we all expect certain things from each others of which .... we fails each others.

I asked a favour of a friend to send me to airport this morning as I am seriously running out of cash for taxi these days. So, she told me she have to send me to the airport at 10am if I do not mind. I don't. Because I can do my work, drafting and organising in the airport cafeteria. She came at 10am. My flight is 12:20pm. So, I have an hour plus to sort out some works and send out some draft agreements, etc. When I sat down, a waitress was here giving me a menu and she walked away. I don't need food. I bought my water too. So, basically, if they don't chase me out of the cafeteria because I do not order anything, I am fine with a table and a chair. It's 11:21am now. I sat there for more than an hour. A waitress did came and I told her I wanted Esprit Carbonated Fruit drink (Lemon Lime) and she took the order and walked off. That's about 40 minutes ago. Until now, my order is still not here and I am done with my works (while waiting for my clerk to email me another stack of docs for me to continue).

I did a few more organising on accounting packages, organising offices, etc. No one seems bother...

I wonder if this is what a developing country has when it come to servicing clients? Or, they thought I am a student and that's why they think I do not have money to pay for the RM7.90 drink?

Oh well... it's a bad service. Not my expectation seriously.... just their terrible bad service.
