We Don't Know

Dear pipsqueaks,

Long time no blab, so glad to be back! Been busy trying to recover from my trip, balancing work and proper rest (for some reason, I feel that I've developed the fear of hearing the alarm ring or something like that, because I'd automatically wake up about 15~20mins before the alarm just to watch it tick away until the moment I have to get up. What an odd fear to have...) and preparing for another week-long meeting in Wuhan in about 10 days on top of the usual London 2012 Games communications. It's funny that when I look at it all in a chunk, it looks scary. But when I think about it separately, it's really not so bad. And of course, I'd prefer to be busy than bored (which by the way, I've somehow managed to let a message on a stranger's shirt change my ways. It read, "Only boring people are bored." So, not wanting to be a boring person, I can't admit boredom. Lol, which means my schedule must be packed to the max!) Except, as humans, we have limitations to our daily functional abilities, caving in to periods of necessary recharge in order to continue properly. In a way, 24 hours isn't enough but that's the way the cookie crumbles!

Foreshadowing a week of pure chaos, for some reason, I don't feel myself as nervous as I was for the meeting in Queenstown. Possibly because it's not the first time and when you consider all the worst things that can happen, the mind and heart adjusts to that possible stretch of emotions, and the result is a more logical approach. In any case, we don't know what we don't know, but we can always expect the unexpected. Unless the sky falls down- knock on wood- there's nothing we can't handle. *Positive thinking* I'm so ready! Bring it on :)

Side note: It's probably a good thing that the meeting is in the middle of no where (please excuse my negativity, Wuhan-ners) but seriously, I don't feel like I'd be missing out sitting in meetings, like the time we were in Queenstown. Suppose there's a big Buddha to see nearby? Maybe I'll check it out if I have free time, or catch some matches at the Thomas and Uber Cups Finals? We'll see. Can't know now, but soon enough.

(due for a good break very soon!)
