Dear pipsqueaks,
What a hectic ten days it had been! Certainly not getting used to being back at the normal pace of things. Right now, it's only the tournament left to cover, and we're back in office as of Monday. I will most likely dread being in front of the computer, typing away like some automated machine. Suppose half the staff will be on leave next week too! Great, on phone duty :P Actually, it's not as if it's any different when they're in anyway. Don't mind me - just whining about a small complaint. Okay, over it.
Can't believe I'll be moving out of my home of two years in less than six days! Everything back at square one - deciding where to put my things, how to organize laundry, what groceries to buy for the week (finally, a kitchen to cook in!). I guess I am a little lost with change. Not that I dislike change - some changes are for the better and a necessity- maybe I just haven't gotten my head around how to make it all happen yet. To think I came to Malaysia with four large luggage, and now I'll probably need six! Not to mention the fact that I don't like putting my clean clothes with anything else, so I'll have to make sure they are bagged before entering luggage. Sometimes, I do wish I weren't so particular about cleanliness- or OCD as some may call it. Though, I do have to say, I'm not as worried because I know I won't have to face this change alone. It's a good thing :)
For the next couple of weeks, I'll be busy with moving. Then, it's off to Jakarta for Indonesia Open and my friend sister Vivian's wedding! Honestly really excited about going because Indonesian weddings are known to be very over-the-top. Over two thousand guests, I should be fine going in jeans since no one will notice that 1/2000 me. Just kidding. I've been warned to be properly dressed, so that's another thing to do on my list: find a proper gown. As if it's that easy to find one, I even gained about five kg these couple of weeks from all this sitting and eating. Meeting sessions are so deadly that way. We're so busy processing, the body doesn't think beyond function and rest. Though, I believe even rest had been cheated a little last week. No worries though, I do have a little more than two weeks to recover. Top priority for my first weekend at my new place will be to relax - read by the pool, boil veggie soup, or just start drafting my next project. Then again, I should pace myself. I have tons of weekends to do so many things - so no need to fit everything into one weekend.
For now, we're heading back to Putra Stadium for the second session China vs. Denmark. A spot in the 2013 Sudirman Cup Finals. Should be a good fight, I hope. We're almost done...one more day.
Update after I get my brain to finish rebooting over the weekend.
