It will take 10 minutes

Sunday, February 19th, 2006

In Receptionist place:

- Excuse me, Miss, do you know where the Mansfield Road is, please?

+ Yes, of course (she grabbed the map) here it is. Our hotel is here (not in the map!) you can walk and it will take around 10 minutes…

- Brilliant. Thank you very much…

Then we walk, and walk, and walk…. The temperature was 5 degress, windy and also misty.

Maggie: Are you sure we’re in the right path?

Me: Don’t know, we should ask again or we will get lost..

(asked one man on the bus station - weird, there were many bus passed us - , and then walk again…)

Finally we arrived in Queen Elizabeth House, I was sweating under my coat because we have to run. Our bloody journey took 3o minutes, plus running!

Maggie: You know sis, as soon as we come back to the hotel, the first thing I want to do is go to the receptionist. Miss, thank you very much for your help, but for the future reference, absolutely it will NOT take 10 minutes.

The Receptonist was lucky because when we arrived in the hotel, she was not there. 

Out of the box…

Raining outside, so lovely.  Grab the chair and just sitting, doing nothing, just enjoy every second when the rain hit the ground, and the smell of the soil..

Thinking deeply about myself. How lucky I am. My friends envy at me, and I keep complaning about my life…

It was like a machine. When something happened, and it gave an unusual sound, we noticed that something wrong and we will fix it. But if it happen to the human being, we will doing something totally different. If something wrong, we will work harder and harder, until you burned out. Sad, isn’t it?

I was lossing the passionate. I put too high standard to my self, and then get frustated with the situation. It was wrong. We have to concentrate with something we could control, and just pull aside something we could not control. Life is too short.

Jump out from the box, and see what is the situation from outside.. It is not that bad. Life is beautiful.

Thanks for all my friends. Your emails, sms, phone calls, letters, everything… I am wrong. I should not feel lonely. I have all of you guys, be there for me everytime I need it. THANKS!
