Ever since I started work, I realised that time is really precious.
Every working day, more than one-third of my day will be spent at my workplace. (I am happy with my job and I understand that work is what I must do as an adult, so don’t mistaken this as a complaint, I’m just calculating the hours.) Factoring in the time spent to travel to and fro as well as the time taken to prepare myself before heading out, more than 12 hours of my day is taken up already. The optimal sleep duration is 7-8hours. Let’s say if I sleep for 7 hours, I am left with only 5 hours for myself, including dinner and bathing time. This is if I go straight home after work.
Time is really a luxury now. What do I do with the precious 5 hours every day?
• I like watching on korean dramas or just watching TV because this is pretty much brainless. I don’t have to think or move around, a form of entertainment which can be done simply by sitting back. And most of the time, there will be funny parts that make me laugh. This is the best part!
• Some days, I will go for dates with the boyfriend. It is always comforting to meet him after a long day of work. Have some comfort food together, talk about anything under the sun, take a walk around the malls, run some errands or whine to him about things that make me sad or irritated. (Poor him opps!)
• Occasionally, I will meet up with some friends for dinner.
• Attend blogger events if I like the brand/products, if the location is not too far, and if the timing is suitable. (very rare though)
• And I “play cheat”. I don’t sleep 7 hours. In order to maximise the time that I can spend on myself, I only sleep about 5 hours daily. These extra 2 hours will be spent on dramas or just lying in my bed and using my phone. Social media like Instagram, facebook, Sgag, shopping apps like carousell or shopee, or even just playing my favourite tsum tsum. (refer to next article)
Yes, that’s basically what my life is about now, 5 days a week.
