My Own Time
I've never been so aware of the minutes and hours that belong to me and me alone. Not until I've started on this job. And not until this week.
As workload (supposedly) begin to wind down because of the Chinese New Year break, I felt kinda lost at the temporary ownership of my personal time. It's like someone just gave me a bag of my own time and say "here, this is yours, use it freely."
I've forgotten how to make good use of my personal time. So I just sit in front of the familiar computer screen and click away, or watch American tv shows online. Habitually, I would stay up late, even though I know tomorrow I need not go to the office.
The truth of the matter is, there is no such thing as my personal time since the job took over. I do not have to worry how do I spend my "free time" cos they are always used to finish projects. When I am at work, I do not ponder about where do I want to have dinner or which movie should I catch for a long time.
I am still not used to some free time on my own. I don't know what to do with them. Well, it won't be long till I lose it again under piles of work.
My hope this week is that I'd be able to manage my time and get good rest this week to tide me over the work road ahead.
That I would luxuriate in this period where I own my personal time. That I would treasure and cherish this little amount of time I have with myself.
