Deliciously Life



Life is when you make time to enjoy it.

For some LIFE = WORK and for me, I made it pretty obvious on my banner. WORK is what I do to afford a LIFE. Work should be within the official working hours and I try my best not to overlap my leisure time with work. That's why it's important to know that there's more to life than just work itself.

Having a quality of life is when I can spend sometime reading a book at a cosy place like Delicious@Duo Residence while sipping a glass of peach and orange smoothie and munching on some fried crispy wedges. Right after my appointment in KL at 5pm, I had 2 hours to kill before a dinner date and so I chose Delicious to be the right place to hang out. The place is so cosy and so comfortable because it's quiet and at the same time you can be stuffed with good food! While waiting for a friend to come for a tete-a-tete, I had some time to re-read my favourite Chocolate book. Yes, I have actually read that book twice and I still find it worth reading!

I'm really glad that with my current company, I have a quality of life because we all believe in getting our work done during office hours and not stay late just to impress some bosses (I know some people do). And boy I'm glad my bosses don't call me for a meeting after working hours! The most mood-damaging thing to do is to call your subordinate for a meeting right before he or she need to go home! And lucky I don't experience that. Because I understand the very fundamental of after-office-life, I never ask my subordinate to stay late for no apparent reason.

How you want to live your life is entirely your choice.

Only joyful people put on weight.

Btw, quality of consumer and catering pack of Haagen Dazs is the same, they don’t have different range.

KY: well, that book is meant for you!

Anon: Ok, at least I felt joyful when savouring the bowl of wedges. Oh I see. Honestly I did taste a difference between the HD at the buffet and the one from the outlet. Could it be the storage and temperature?

You rock! I like u saying

Yeah! Some staffs will go home late just to impress bosses. I think its ridiculous for those who doing this. and also its funny those bosses like to see their staff working late! Working late doesnt mean productive!

Life is what you make it...and the quality of life will depend on the individual. Work isn't that bad when you love what you're doing...and it does help to pay for some of life's simple pleasures. We do need to pamper ourselves sometimes...

Anon: That's absolutely true. Some people just waste time there and I think the bosses need to get a life too!

Wei Mei: wah... thanks. You want bonus?

STP: You're right but even if we love to work, we should have time to relax too!

Dear Ei Ling,
Indeed i believe in living life to its fullest as we can't predict when will our existence ends. The future is unpredictable, the past is the past, we're living in the present. You seemed to really enjoy life. While i have no boss to answer to, but i am totally consumed by my work. 12 hours a day, 6 days a week.
How i wish i could spend more time with family, and the luxury of meeting up with old friends. I actually have not met up with my old classmates for years now. What a life......

-eiling- said...

Horng: Nah.. but you can have my job if you compensate me well enough.

Wan: I understand the nature of your job but because you have chosen that path, you have no choice to live it. And one day, you might just regret.
