000025 - new beginning

today is the beginning of the rest of my life

i wonder why we don't say that when we are first popped into this world? well, ok, obviously we haven't learnt how to exactly comprehend language to form coherent thoughts or sentences but is it all relative to time?? does one have to have some sort of an epiphany in order to say those words? what if you reach another point in your life that you feel like saying it again?

today isn't exactly the beginning of the rest of my life. it is a new beginning of sorts where i'm no longer obligated to go to a 9-5 job, so therefore i'm stress free and free from any responsibilities. however, i don't want to just be a bum at home and do nothing. i have plans and i need to be organised and self-motivated in order to make my dreams become reality.

finishing at work last week wasn't as sad as i thought it might have been. everyone were generally very gracious with the farewells as farewells go. i think i got most of the loose ends tied up and handed over my projects without too much burden for my former colleagues. i know i'm not really obligated to care but morally, i did what i could i think. went out with abby, james and tom on my last day to have a few drinks at the greville hotel and watched the opening world cup rugby match between australia and argentina.

bbq at Prasanna yesterday was good as i got to catch up with friends over some quality time. and today went to an indoor soccer match. haven't played soccer since high school and haven't played indoor since about 5 years ago. good to have that feeling of playing on a team with my old friends but my body is paying for it. all of us weren't as fit as we'd like.

got to jet. more next time.
