I just realized how rather boring I am. I’m not much the TV/movie/sitcom person, nor am I the big party geek and what’s worse, I actually really like the thought of working hard!
The thought of working continuously on a tough (and hopefully thought of as impossible) problem is something I find stimulating. And I’m happy with a week with lots of work, a good amount of football, a decent dose of Manchester United and an evening with friends.
While I obviously consider myself very normal (Duh..), I realize how boring I might seem. I’m already on the more boring end of the spectrum back in Singapore but here in Europe, gosh, I just look weird. We got out on an evening and it begins with me not drinking or smoking and after a whole day of training/working to do some research followed by wining and dining, a fellow associate was all set to explore the city (at 11 in the night with the day starting early tomorrow) and I obviously passed the opportunity and obviously found the prospect of blogging out my thoughts more tempting – so there you go.
That’s me in a snapshot. I guess I like things in boxes – for eg: this is an official trip so all focus is on work, staying fit, getting rest etc and would be completely different if I was out here on holiday. And as I’m looking around, I realize how much I take my own characteristics and habits for granted as the norm..
Having said that, I love the fact that I’m this boring because at the end of the day, this is what makes me tick and ready to go every day. The thought of meeting a whole bunch of exciting people, looking for ways to add value and maximize opportunities till when I’m in Zurich before heading back for a nice weekend to Singapore with friends, football, re-org and more work to do – now, that’s my kind of fun! :)
To the simple things in life, then.. :)
