Life On A Standstill

Life seems like a race lately and I barely get any time for myself. I seem to have a lot on my mind and sometimes, I just feel trapped or suffocated. One thing occurred to me though. I realized one of the reasons my social life is in a bit of a slump is because I don't have access to the internet at work. It just dawned on me how much time I spent on the internet during working hours to update myself, blog and connect with people online, provided of course I had nothing urgent going on or lots of work piling. Facebook was an integral part of my day. It was the next thing I opened after my email. I would normally update my blog at work as well, and constantly updated myself surfing Google, Youtube etc.

I haven't really been going out much as well. I really miss those fun outings and crazy times we had. I miss going to KL just to get away from it all and unwind. I miss my friends in KL, hanging out and going clubbing occasionally. It's not that I don't really have the time, but I really need to conserve my coffers and my new company it a little more hectic and restrictive when it comes to taking days off. I guess the big difference is that I have a lot more financial commitments since last year. I've become more of a miser when it comes to spending, something which I don't really condone since I don't like to feel restricted. I'm really working on overcoming this issue and I can only hope for the best at this point.

Life has been pretty quiet and drab, something that I really dislike. I hate to say it but since a lot my friends left, it hasn't been the same. I miss you guys bucket-loads, you know who you are :)

I don't know about you but I think I have managed to structure my life well in KL. I don't have Internet access at my terminal in my office and even if I have the access, I don't think I would have the time to write as much as I would like to.

Anyway, most of my KL friends have forgo clubbing for sometimes now. We are more into sedentary activities like having dinner together, going for a karaoke session or just normal yam cha only. Life is pretty hectic in KL and I think most of my time have already be spent in my office and gym.

I guess it takes a little step back and think what do you really want to do in life. We are not getting younger and sometimes, we have to admit that we no longer owned the dance floor. There will be time to put a brake to all the madness of our life.

Just my rant...

actually i havent been one to make a whole lot of friends. and when i i stopped trying and accepted myself for who i was, they just came. now that i have friends ive been going camping and out to bars and social parties with them...this has been goin on for about 5 years...now i feel my life is in a standstill...i love my friends they are great peeps but i no longer get the satisfaction i once had after spending time with them. sometimes we need to have a mixture of balance in our life. for me i need adventure.... hope everything is doing well for you!
