( Sick ) of my expectations ..




i really hate it when things dun go your way or as planned
what exactly went wrong ?
To be precise , my week was in a complete mess ..
oh well ..
it all started when i was down with fever in the mid of my hectic week
what a perfect timing right !
the bloody fever was accompanied by sore throat , cold , flu , body aching ..
you name it , i have it .
hate to be sick =(
cuz it's so disruptive especially in my work
if only i'm not that sick ..
i would have " fight the battle " till the end .
on another note
perfectionism is not a new word to me
it's been sticking around me all these years
i tend to expect alot without realizing in whatever i do or give
hence it only result more disappointments
sometimes i feel a little robbed when my expectation aren't met ..
but sometimes our expectations sell us short
sometimes the expected simply pales in comparison to the unexpected
you've got to wonder why we cling to our expectations
because the expected is just what keep us steady , standing still
the expected is just the beginning
the unexpected is what changes our lives ..
alright
i better stop procrastinating !
maybe what i need now first is a good rest & break ..

Hmmmm.. Looks like you are kinda down with lots of bad vibes.

Perfection used to be my favourite term. But I believe being positive is important as well.

Try to look at things differently. Like being sick seems bad , butyou can see it as a time for you to rest and do some self reflection and indulgence as well.

But being positive is not telling you to take things for granted. Its like a reminder to you not to look at things in a bad way.

Hope it helps

well..
there's a saying..
we must always expect the unexpected!
if everything is expected..then there's no point in expecting at all..everything will just be plain and boring..
it's really a sad thing when things dun go our way and esp when we tot things would go our way but do not.. it breaks the heart and mental strength..
but when we fall, we learn to stand up..and become stronger...even though sometimes the bruises we have are astonishing..but we get back stronger..

yupz..as such..be Strong duncan boi!
u can do it!
haha..yea.. fight ur "battle" til the end..
hmm apologies that the medicine i gave weren't enough for u to prevent ur fever..
hope u are feeling much better now.. and carry on to JIAYOU! =)
