Lazy Sunday

I guess I'll lazy it out this weekend. Why you might asked? I decided to give myself a break for a whole Sunday. I used to have the weekends (Saturdays and Sundays) free for things until this year when my new job requires me to spend half of Saturdays at the office. Although the morning traffic is not that troublesome - I got to visit my favorite nasi lemak shop Tasha at USJ10 foodcourt each Saturday morning and still made it to the office by 8:30am, the realization that not everybody is up for work brings in a tiny sense of deprivation. Well I reasoned by justifying this small sacrifice with the kind of responsibility the job offered me (and the dole too!). No regrets. My previous line of work allow me for a few discretionary 'absence' as long as the jobs gets done, but those kind are hard to come by especially with the current freeze of mega projects. Anyway, time to hone my skills on other things. By the way, I received a call from my former colleague the other day informing his newly opened lightings retail shop. He finally took the plunge head on. Out of admiration I gave him a visit. The shop is impressive (for a 2 months old business) We had lunch and I guess he needs a lot of encouragements (which I gave in abundance - he needed it) Me being myself, gave a few ideas and promised to help him up with his brochure design. (who? Me?) I want him to do well. Perhaps I should learn a thing or two from him too. I guess I did imagine myself being a sole proprietor someday (the one venture I did a few years back doesn't count - okay!). Godspeed!
