How Bad Could A Day Possibly Be? (Stressful Week 3)

13th January is a long day to wake up early for work and to arrive home very late while facing most of the shit throughout the day:

• The Northwick Park Station is 8 minutes walking distance away from the Kenton Station; however I have taken a much longer time before I could locate it because the signboard was only showing half-way and the Google map was unable to display the exact location. 
• Missed the scheduled train due to the longer time taken to find the station. 
• The ticket which I bought in Chertsey should bring me all the way to my destination, however I was not able to get through at Northwick Park and hence was forced to purchase another ticket but forgotten to ask for the receipt thus unable to claim for the reimbursement from the company and having had this to my own expense. 
• Google map is showing 1.2miles walking distance to the office from the Croxley Station, but upon arrival the actual distance was rather 4.8miles. 
• Taxi is not available everywhere at any time and an advance booking is usually needed (waited 25 minutes+ under the cold weather) 
• Supposed to have a discussion with one of the business manager but the sales meeting ran overtime until 5.00pm hence no discussion took place whereby I needed to leave as it takes at least 2 hours to get back to Chertsey. 
• The mobile phone reception was not too good and after several attempts of calling the taxi company, I finally get to book a cab but needed to wait 40-50 minutes. 
• The train stations and office area was rather remote and without any convenience shops around thus I can only have my late dinner while passing-by the Waterloo Station. 
• The National Rail service was delayed due to some obstructions. 
• When almost arriving back home, I was suffering from gastric due to the irregular meal hours. 

After arriving home at 9.00pm+, I rushed for a shower and went to bed as I still have to visit another London office early the next day.

Within the same week, the light bulb in my room was suddenly burned out and the washing machine was not functioning half way and I have had a tough time drying my jeans under this damp weather. In addition to all these unlucky events, my laptop was infected by a circulated virus in the office hence having a hard time to solve some of the work due to the delayed IT solution. 

This beginning of 2015 was not at all good to me, but hopefully things would eventually turn out to be better soon (though I doubted so with my current situation…) Hmmp...

On the other hand, at least I get to meet a very kind hearted lady at the Northwick Park Station who directs me all the way to the Croxley station, and I have being replaced with a new company laptop having the IT guys helping to resolve most of the issues.

残缺世界，缺乏的是那小小的完美。身不由己的苦，会否在下一个十年里，不再感叹，不再伤悲？好坏参半之间，拥抱的感伤和舍弃的挣扎在天枰的两端寻不着平衡点。寻...一个没结局的梦

天鹅湖的双面结局，究竟哪一个版本才反映得出我的将来？

好想遇见未来的自己，预见自己的未来。谁能告诉我，现在的自己是否在浪费光阴，而下一步该怎么走…


如果一醉能解千愁，我倒宁愿天天醉，夜夜醉。

Recollection of 2014

It is again the time of the year to sum up all sentiments and be it laughter or despair. This ending of 2014 was unlike the past where I am no longer as eager and excited in welcoming the new start as before which might be due to the fact that I am stuck and bounded with too many uncertainties in life and I am somehow getting sick trying to take a peek at my future or to challenge the fate and destiny in some ways.

This year, I’ve taken the hard way to challenge myself, my fear and my doubt by leaving the comfort zone and walking alone into an unknown future abroad trying to find something different in life.

Many times, I am seeing the path but losing the way by clearly knowing that there is still so much to be done but yet to discover the motivation and determination to pursue and sustain my dreams. Too many check-points that have been set previously in my way are pulling me down at times and therefore it might be wise to review them all while slightly taking a break for myself this year and dedicating more time for people around me while appreciating and enjoying the life journey before I continue to move on with full speed.

All in all, I would like to express my inmost gratitude to those who really cares and walk with me during the time when I stumble and falls into the depth of misery and distress. The warm surprises I received this year in this far away land were all precious and invaluably appreciated. Many profound memories were built-up this year which will stays in my heart forever.

Hoping that all things will eventually fall into place in 2015 and wishing that this will indeed be a fruitful and blissful year in every way.
