Worry is my friend

Trouble...
Oh, trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble
Feels like every time I get back on my feet
she come around and knock me down again

Worry...
Oh, worry, worry, worry, worry
Sometimes I swear it feels like this worry is my only friend


*************

I realise I write better when I am emotionally challenged, be it jovial, depressed or mixed feelings stuffed in a can just like those delicious Ayam brand sardines, which reminds me that there is only one left in the cabinet. It is now a prized possession and will only be served on a special day. Funny on how a simple dish is treated as those served at Michelin star restaurants.

See how easily I get myself off-track from the topic.

I am trying my best to get out of this melancholy state but somehow it is proven hard. Maybe a trip to Disneyland will take away those unwanted emotions and vibes. A simpler way is to watch kids’ movies at the comfort of our home. One cannot help but be tickled by their stories. There are always scenes that will burst you into laughter. Either way, I bet the young lady wouldn’t argue as both are a hit to her.

I suppose I need to list down the things which are on my mind and apply what I normally do at work. I should prioritise those emotionally challenged issues and deal with them one by one. Slowly but surely I should be able to tick them off from the list.

Easier said than done, eh?

Sometimes it feels easier to manage your highly demanding career than your personal life. At work, in order to succeed, one has to remain objective and visualise the path. Emotions have to be put aside, especially when it comes to managing people. If we want our staff to fly high, we should provide constructive feedback even if they are hard to swallow. Similarly, if we think we deserve that promotion, we should walk into our superior’s room and present our case without hesitation.

It is much easier to be bold at work than in your personal life. No matter how many "mind, body and soul" books you read, you still remain clueless on what is best to do upon reaching a conflict or junction in life.

or perhaps I should ditch everything and get a tub of Haagen Dazs for the time being

Dear Mocha,

I sense the depth of your trouble and can only pray for a quick recovery. Do something unusual. Get out of the house. Or anything.

Love, HLM

Icecream is good for the soul when stressed. It may not always offer solutions to problems but keeps u happy if just for a couple of hours. My pick would be Baskin Robbins tub hehe. Tc miss B ;)

Danial,

I thought you meant sweating is good for the calories. LOL! Yeah, without worries, life wont be colourful.

Ms B said...

Melbourne,

Instead of ice creams, I had apple crumble & custard, choc mud cake and bread & butter pudding with custard in a span of 4 days.

Does that work? *grins*

Ms B said...

Aporn,

Unfortunately my home is carpetted, so any spillage is best avoided. It will certainly create more problem.

Ms B said...

HLM,

Thanks. I will take a break in a few weeks time and will take the opportunity to unwind. Coffee while watching eye-candies is a must.

Ms B said...

Mawar,

Err, maybe icecream while watching Greys/PP/OTH will definitely ease our stress for a few hours. LOL!
