Workaholic

18th of September

I see myself as one of the workaholics in this busy life. Please show me how I can not be one, if my goal is so high that there is so much to do in just one day. I plan things well, even though it doesn't really happen all the time, but when I am serious, I don't leave them for tomorrow...

Today is Wednesday, I found a bean bag at the library once I got there. Staying there for coupler hours to do my readings for course 2094. Now I am gradually getting to adapt to the massive amount of readings weekly, it doesn't really take that long to finish 70+ pages if I know 'skipping the irrelevant' and 'extracting the relevant'..

During the time I enjoyed my good reading time, there was this couple next to me hugging each other to sleep, and they were being super touchy-feely when they woke up. I was tempted to turn and silently stare at them but nah... concentration was one, completing my plans was two. I could hear their lovable giggling and tickling, so I took my phone out of my bag, put my earphones on to prevent myself from all that. 

Didn't get home til 8 again, now you can see how hard working I am. After dinner, I got back to my plan, continued on my reading for course 2091...

Tomorrow is moon fest, a festival that is supposed to be a family gathering. Guess I would be going to grandma's house with parents if I am now in China. The drinking, the family talk with all of my cousins, uncles and aunts, something that is to bring everyone together. Even though in these years, we are getting less to contact one another, like all my cousins have been living afar from each other, in other cities, provinces, even overseas, like me, who only talk to them via the online chatting tool. But I still miss those time when all of us roaming on the street with lanterns, the older cousins would take us, the younger ones to somewhere darker and then we would get frightened. I am the second youngest one among them, our smallest cousin would be always walk with me so we could protect each other. It was more like a ghost encounter for both of us while the older ones knew there wasn't anything going to happen...

All these memories remain, this is why we call them as memories, something that keeps coming back. I really do hope my big fattie from oversea is coming here one day... What else can be more important than a family, tell me.

This year, I am spending my moon fest with panpan. A decision was made in the last minute before we both were going to go to sleep. It was the time that he would be easily fallen asleep, so I ended up calling him for once, just to wake him up to talk about this as my credit is running out, there is no way I can text/call him the next day...And he fell back to sleep the second time right after he was awoken by my phone call..=.= 

Lastly, happy moon fest to any workaholics, take care of yourself and cherish the time to be with your family and the important ones in this fest :)
