Long and big projects tend to make one put off or completely sacrifice other things in life. Now that it's over, it's time to rethink priorities.
To spend more time with my family whom I have neglected as I spend weekends and nights working.
To be with friends whom I have to reject their offers to meet up, made appointments and was late for, have tried to catch up with but was abandoned as I was called off for work.
To read books that enriches the soul, stimulate the mind and stir up emotions which I have bought and placed aside, hoping to read snatches of them while waiting for work related emails to load.
To sleep and dream more instead of waking up intermittently at night fretting about neverending work and deadlines.
To play more and find the escape into an alternate reality.
To exercise more so that my earthly body finds a purpose in physical activity instead of carrying the heavy loads at work, running from meeting to meeting and straining to stay alert later and later trying to put in more and more.
To enjoy the epicurean pleasures of fine wine and gourmet instead of fast food, instant noodles and Red Bull to sustain energy to get me through a work day with minimal rest.
To pet the stray cats that nuzzle me for affection when I get home past midnight but I cannot give any more than a perfunctory pat on the head.
To seek personal and spiritual growth instead of worrying about the petty jealousies mortals and their pinhole perspectives of the world.
To write more of what I want to preserve my sanity and flex the writing muscle before it wastes away on the meaningless drivel.
It's time to live a little!

How I do envy you now. It good to have more quality time for yourself. Read more, write more and enjoy your fruitful life a little bit more. *smiles*
Being a teacher is tough.. its 1.30am and I'm in school in the staff room taking a break from marking papers. Having some CCA camp. Its day 2 overnight and the brain is getting a bit clogged up.

Hello! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with hackers?
My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended
up losing many months of hard work due to no backup.
Do you have any methods to protect against hackers?
