Reflections on an idle week

Its my second week doing nothing and I must admit its been simply WONDERFUL. No deadlines to meet, no schedules to follow, no pressure in anyway whatsoever. Nothing beats waking up to the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the gentle nudging of my dog at 9 am in the morning... well nothing I can think of now that is. After reading the morning papers, its off to the gym for  good morning breakfast before a nice good lunch. The rest of the day is spent reading and I usually end the day with a run or swim before dinner. :) 


I must say that despite the sheer blissful state I am in, I do in some way realize that I am too in a terrible state of neglect. But I guess... it isn't much of an issue to me. Ha!

Some updates on the other aspects of my life that do matter. I did manage to get into the US universities... kudos to me for that... and in Australia... kudos to me again... However, after some serious discussion with my parents and other relatives... I decided that I will pursue my tertiary education locally. I do not know for sure exactly what I want to do with my life yet... and I ain't too sure about what to expect in time to come either but I guess that's the joy in life right? What fun is there if the path is lit all the way to the end of the park?


“Happiness isn't something you experience; it's something you remember.” 
- Oscar Levant (1906 - 1972)


I wished I had understood the above quote 4 years ago. Oh well...
