kill that boredom

Due to my hectic schedules lately ,
i'm finally back to my busy days ..

apparently my work has taken up so much of my time
that i literally do nothing but work , work and work ..

Beside handling the usual stresses that i'm facing ..
i'm currently down with boredom -_-
nothing seems to excite me haha ...
it's killing man !

basically
these days ... i have ...

No time for proper meals
No time to engage any of my fav activities
No time to bake
No time to swim
No time for holiday
No fav song play list
No fav shopping wish list
No inspiration at work
Nothing to look forward ..

worst !

Nothing to blog !!

Agrrrrrrrrrrrr...
everything seems dull gray to me now =/

oh well ..
but at least i had a nice dinner with sherlyn couple of days back and ended our day @ dempsey - ben & jerry ... =)


i heart BEN & JERRY !


and i really miss it ! =p

i look so retard here lol ..

alright .. i better stop rambling .. lol ..
maybe that explains my boredom =P
hmmm i guess everyone might have go thru this state of mind before
so how did you guys handle or overcome it ?
would love to hear from you .. ^-^

I would call a friend who has too much time on his hand to hear me complain as i vent all my frustrations out. Than I would randomly suggest a bbq outing or a nice dinner at my place, so my mind would be preoccupied with the thought of something to look forward to. "Tahan!"

hello!

office life is a contradiction in terms, so true right? haha!

i have also faced times whereby i feel like nothing motivates me, and that feels crappy because it makes me so weary of life. and its just so busy yet repetitive haha.

dry spells, i call them.. but i think they are passing phases. its important to DIG out little snippets of your life that u can feel joyful about! little things that will make you smile, and soon u will be on your feet again!:)

sorry v long again! spending 2 mins slacking from work haha.

hiya..

chanced upon ur blog and think it's pretty interesting. especially when i see e pics of ur food creations, it sent a smile to me. as initially, i was having a bad week.. so far.

as per ur busy moments, i'd recommend u to watch dramas of comedy plot. it helps when u get to laugh e stress away (provided u like to watch dramas). if not, self-exclaim an off day or 2 and do things that u really like, free urself totally from work for that period.

.. u'll feel better after which.

(: strive on 'n' take e leap forward (it's a leap year yea)~

Hmmm... I always had this "boredom" thingy times too, when everything I do doesn't seem right....
A few activities -

1) Meet out your friends and go somewhere you find PEACEFUL feeling.
2) Take out a piece of drawing paper and start to draw whatever things you had in your mind and compose it into a design drawing. or doing some art like playing with clay.....
3) Watch Fav. Tv drama.
4)Sleep...(haha..the most practical i think) not recommended.
Take care.

Troubled Duncan here. Hmm... Perhaps you should treat yourself with a good meal, if possible, since you love food.

If not, it's known that love will keep people alive. So fall in love! LOL!

Well guess you won't have the time for love too. Nevertheless, you deserve hugs & kisses from your readers, no?!

Try to find joy in your work and ignite the passion again! >Hugs<

gym gym gym.

Go for group gym classes. So that at the end of the day , you will feel tired and yearn to eat more and rest more.

And you will sleep better with a tired body. And wake up with a different feeling and mind.

I gym after work . So not so bad , the gym itself have chairs for me to sleep . So after a workout , I just grab a mp3 player and sleep on the benches.

I am so tight up with work lately. Pretty busy too. Need a real good break too.

U need to take a nice break too. NATAS fair is round the corner, take this chance to book a trip to "country of your dream".
Enjoy.

go for a haircut! it really works on me! whenever i feel bored or stress with work, i'll definitely go for a haircut. with the new look, i 'll feel fresh.... :p

justin said...

I don think you are bored. More precisely, you are just too stressed at work as you feel your time is all used up for work. I think many people here reckon the same way that 50-60% of our time is used up that way. Basically, the remaining time will be for bed time. Weekdays are generally working days. Try to utilize your weekend for things you miss out for.

Things you can try :
a. go for sports e.g. swimming+suntanning, badminton, squash, tennis ...
b. meet some new friends
c. KTV
d. take MCs and rest at home
e. instead of baking, learn to cook something else like soup, pasta etc.
f. chilling out at some new hangout place
g. having some gathering with your closed friends for BBQ, picnic or something ..

for your information, i am also exploring new stuffs to kill boredom and release stress. After a cup of vodka lime, things are not too bad afterall. Cheers ..

Rex said...

must spare yourself sometime to release all e stress that you accummulated~ stay positive everything will be alright man!? cheers!

Heyoooooo, well, things on my side are a bit hectic, well, maybe in a nicer way, since its not on work. WAHAHHAHA.
I can't get use to this kind of eng eng life maybe because my exam just finish.
Anyhow, I felt I've such a plain life, so I went for hip hop class, so maybe you can try to realise whats on your hit list on your life?:]
Opening bakery classes? Wahahaha.

Anonymous said...

Yes I also think you should conduct cooking classes... You'll definitely see me there! :)

Rodneyz said...

Rodneyz said...

hm... i forgot to say my suggestion.. haha. one thing to relieve boredom is to go out with new friends and learn new stuffs. That will often keep u from boredom. You could also think of goin new places and visiting new countries.
