Just a short one... it's been a long week and I think I can make do with a nice good sleep before I embark on my essay which has been given an extension deadline. I shall remember this week as the buffet week - never in my life have I eaten buffet meals five days in a row locally (understandable if I'm on an overseas trip staying in a hotel with free breakfast buffets...). Had lunch buffet from Monday to Wednesday at Carousel as part of the MBTI certification course package... then two more days of buffet at the Changi Village Hotel for a staff planning retreat.

Managed to do a 25km jog mid-week... but I don't think that's enough to curb the damage done. :( Ah well... consider it as early carbo loading? Haha... Will have to watch what I'm consuming the next few weeks! I'm still quite uncertain if I'm able to complete the full marathon... but I'll give it a shot.

Amidst all that's happening, I've been doing some quiet evaluation of the times that's past... and I'm starting to wonder if there are things that I can consider doing less in the future, given how as a human race we're all moving towards maximum productivity with the most efficacious amount of effort. I wrote a 'newsletter' of sort for the graduating batch of students and in the midst of it left out my signature and the addressee part so that I can fill them in for each student after the photocopying. It probably is a small thing... but this led to quite a substantial amount of extra time and work. I asked Char if it would have made any difference if I'd placed in my signature before the photocopying and left out the addressee part; she said it would... now that they've been given out, I can imagine many of those copies unread, probably just chucked away somewhere. And the personalized photocards... and the writings behind.

I'm just not sure if it would have been better for me to spend the times working on my essay instead... but through and through, I've learned that some things take very long to see the littlest of results.

All I hope, is that all these would have played a part in the positive growth of a life, even if it's just one.
