Today is a gloomy day . It was drizzling the whole day. I have nothing to complain about wet days because I like rainy days. That's if only I don't have to step out of my house, well at least not for serious stuff i.e. WORK! *lol*
Looking at the clock now, it's 7.38pm and I'm staying back in my office alone to blog about my little bliss for the day.
Now you must be wondering I must have great news here to share. Ah well, all I can say is you're really imaginative and .....the answer is NO. Nothing special happened today.
No new scientific breakthrough in my work because I am even finding hardtimes in coping with my workplan with deadlines rolling up now.
I didn't strike the million dollars jackpot and I don't think I'm going to because I am not so adventurous and lacking the luck, you know.
No one's asked me out on a date tonight because I'm a bit not so attractive, well at least today.
I don't recall being complimented today by anyone who's generous to pay me one even though there's nothing worth a mention.
Personal problems and issues are still in piles waiting for further "instructions".
No, Mr. Right is still M.I.A and probably he's still trying to figure his way to my house or worse still decided not to appear (refer post dated Monday, September 05, 2005).
Nah, it's not about the bus. I didn't miss my usual bus trip because I was 2 minutes early at the bus stop (refer post dated Friday, September 09, 2005).
So why am I so over the moon today?
Well seriously nothing happened. I was listening to my recent favourite R&B songs during the whole bus journey and glazing the scenes of the usual route. On my way walking towards the building I work, it's wet everywhere and I should have increased my pace. But I didn't. In fact I slowed down and strolled along the walking path from the bus stop in front of the hospital entrance to my building. The strange thing is I actually found myself grinning during the slow walk in the rain while having many people overtaking me.
Like every other day, the daily schedule started off with some proper work. I had my daily yaks with people I bumped into along the corridor as usual. The conversations were funny as always. This is definitely not the reason that makes me in euphoria.
Perhaps it's the "little things" I brought with me this morning. The songs I've been listening. The looking forward of seeing people whom I'm supposed to see daily. The countdown of 3 more days to the weekend. The eagerness to get some work done. And most importantly the content feeling that comes from my heart telling me that I'm so glad that I'm still able to start my usual day.
I'm always trying to bring these "little things" with me. Others may find them useless. Yet I find them so handy. Let me share with you one little example.
I dislike Maths and I still do. I would scratch my head and couldn't sit still to get an algebra worked out. What I tend to do before I start sitting down to look at the tonnes of Maths questions is firstly tidy up the study desk. Bring myself a favourite drink. Have some nice yet not disturbing music turned on. These "little things" really help a lot in generating my "like" feeling towards something I usually dislike, or worse still hate. Once I have a good start, the Maths problems don't seem to be such an evil monster to me anymore. Though they don't perform miracle in making me Einstein No.2 or Newton No.2. *wink*
It's really difficult to get moving on if we constantly remind ourselves about the negative sides of things. Even for fun things that are routine can easily be transformed into boredom. But we do have a choice here. We can try to equip and utilise ourselves with our "little things" we find helpful to aid us in getting through whatever we fear or loathe. Changing the perception really helps tremendously. You can be upset or sorrow to whatever you have to deal with. But at the same time, you can choose to be the opposite. The latter's pretty difficult. Plus making the first step is always the toughest. But with these "little things" equipped, things may not seem to be that tough as we thought. Just imagine, I could have called for a day off today and lazed at home in such a weather without thinking of all the deadlines and my embarrassment with my workmate who I had a little "drama" with yesterday due to my impatience (refer post dated Tuesday, September 13, 2005).
Oops, it's getting really late now and my stomach's growling. The buoyancy must had consumed a lot of energy, heh! I'm heading home now and yes I'm turning on my mp3 player and bringing all these helpful "little things" with me. *grin*
