it was utterly boring. 18 hours of pure boredom. i actually thought about going back to work. mein gott. how could that ever happen to me? sigh. seriously the most boring day of febuary thus far.
well, on wednesday i actually went to the IE forum 05. I attended W Chan Kim's presentation on Blue Ocean strategy, and wondered "why would anyone really really want to spend 1k to attend this business forum?" it was more of a marketing for his book than anything, but i finally worked my brain the economics side of things yesterday. it was a good experience, but i left after 1 lecture. how sad of me. and to come up was lenovo's CEO and Nissan's Vice President, along with Ho Kwon Ping and some guy from Bain. And i skipped everything for lunch with weng. haha i was that bored. vegetarian lunch at original sin somemore.
it struck me yesterday that you could actually have a whole meal without having meat. i had this big mushroom topped with some funny vegetable stuffing, (huge mushroom as in 12 cm diameter mushroom), and lasagna. without meat. it did taste a little weird, but the tomato sauce more that made up for it. i feel detoxified. ok enough. back to my carnivorous diet.
on a more serious note, it struck me that i was just living my life as though i had a set deadline. September 2005. when i am flying off. to wharton hopefully, if not chicago. i am going to leave the life i have in singapore, 20 years of rooted belongings, and fly off for 4 years. plus plus. it's really both sides of the coin really, whether to be happy to start life abroad, or to look back at my life in singapore and wonder if i should have chosen the path i did choose. good thing i don't have a gf at the moment, and it doesn't pay to have one at the moment because it just doesn't make sense. sigh. dilemma.
sometimes i think i am holding back. for a good reason too. but whatever it is, only time will tell if i have made the correct decision.
carpe diem indeed.
