Settling in
I think for the first time since I started my new job on February 9, 2004, I genuinely felt a sense of friendship with my colleagues. With all of us on the go all the time and looking after so many different activities and people, I don't often feel like I have a lot in common with them. Of course, that could be because I'm practically the only Asian in a church with a membership base of 2500. And that's only a slight exaggeration.

This week though, I felt the veil of acquaintenceship lift and for no tangible reason at all, suddenly warmed up to people, acting like the Vron most other people know. I felt at home serving tea and coffee at a leaders' dinner, cleaning up the hall afterwards, talking about TV shows and websites around the lunch table, exchanging useless trivia and caring for people, all without feeling like "it's my job". Yay!

Addicted
Welcome to the confessions of a certified TV junkie. Whether I'm reading it or watching it, it's my favourite way to relax, my little way of keeping in touch with a world whizzing by around me. I think I watch or read TV or DVDs for at least 2 hours a day. Is this a bad thing? Because I'm not a multi-tasker, it's not like I'm doing something else constructive at the same time either. Unless you count sleeping. Mmmm... sleep. The best 6 hours of my day!
