I'm pretty sure I had something really worthwhile to say just now. But I can't recall. I think it was about work. Or something.

Mid of last year, when I knee deep in the busy working pace, I had thought to myself, I'm sure it would cease to be this busy the same time next year. I didn't mean that I'd be slacking or anything like that, but I thought I'd be more organised.

In some ways, I am more organised. But then there are those impromptu acts and decisions that are made, that sometimes throws off all sorts of balance I have acquired in any time. Things looked hectic again. More than one occasion I have wondered whether this would be a normal routine for years to come. I hope not.

I believe in working hard. But I don't believe in working my ass off and not having a balanced life. I don't like feeling like working is all that I do and that I don't have the time for anything else. Using the internet at home is not counted as extra time. That is the reason why thesedays, no matter how tired I am, if there is a slot of time to go out with the family, even for our weekend breakfast, or go for the morning jog, I would force myself to wake up and go. Most of the time, it was just a case of laziness than tiredness. Not missing my Quran recitals, as well as following my usrah schedule has helped me in keeping a very sane and level head. I see a lot less of my group of peightplus, but not less enough that they don't come by and have a drink or chat at my desk.

So all in all, despite the seemingly busy schedule, I think I have it worked out pretty good. It is just the fact that this month is a bit busier than usual. Most of the other month, I'd feel like I have too much time. Something of which I have taken into account to work on and not be so idle-minded. I have some events and works planned out after I'm done with my outings for next week. They include both work and leisure. I intend to work harder and play harder too. InsyaAllah.
