The co-relation between mood and exercise

The topic sounds a bit serious but then again, I am really serious about the topic.

Being not of sound mind lately (or perhaps I'm always so), I decided a few days ago that I would attempt to walk home after work. Then, Gek Joo smsed me near 6pm today to ask if I wanted to walk with her to City Hall MRT (apparently, she thinks she wants some exercise too) and so, I agreed. The only difference is that, instead of merely walking to City Hall MRT only, I continued walking and walking to Boon Keng MRT. That's 6 out of the possible 10 MRT stops home. I am slightly impressed by myself.

Then again, walking allowed me to think and reflect on how childish and wrong my behaviour has been. It's just a few months, I should just be a good girl and stop creating trouble. That's what I resolve to do on top of walking as often as I can. =) But I must say, there were certain areas which were both familiar as well as scary, if you know what I mean. I managed to keep a straight face, and not show how scared I was at certain areas. The problem with my area is just that there are some areas where I wouldn't dare walk, so it means I'll still have to take the train no matter what, unless some nice people out there want to keep me company to walk that stretch. Haha.. Then again, I don't think anyone who lives around here reads my blog anyway.

Even though I'm in a light-hearted mood, I need to complain a little. The parent is driving me nuts. She calls and calls and calls! Like I've nothing better to do than to entertain her. And when I don't pick up her calls, she sends me sms-es to complain. What a spoilt brat.

Aside from that, the day was relatively ok. Despite the fact that there were still certain instances when I actually wanted to borrow a shoulder to lean on for a moment (I'm a jellyfish, can?) just like the past few days.. Anyway, I managed to meet Xinyi for lunch, had work from Eugene and PL and incompleted work from Terence. I must confess I said something which upon reflection didn't sound appropriate in response to a comment that Eugene made. Oh well, just hope he and Qi-en doesn't take it to heart/remember what I blurted out without much thinking.

Should I walk again tomorrow? Hmm... let's hope I don't get muscle ache tomorrow morning first =)

Giving me a choice will not make me like you any better

Received a reply to my email this morning. Thankfully with Weiguang online to remind me, I'll never send out stupid replies (Then again, even without Mr Randall around, I'm still sensible enough not to do that.. Just that his online presence allowed me to let off some steam.. and show how rude I can get, if only I want and can be)

If given a choice, would you:

(1) Request to do something that you are interested in, that you might fill up your checklist with, but might not get any work because there are too many people (which means you can't fill up your checklist anyway) and there are many people you would want to avoid and hate, and that you probably have to force a smile everyday; or

(2) Request to do something that does not interest you as much and which probably won't be as useful for you since you don't see yourself doing it in the near future, but you like the people you sit with, the people you see and putting on a smile is not as difficult.

Which would you choose? I'm quite tempted by the latter, but is it very dumb?
