SAD In Grey

I think I’m suffering from SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder).

It can’t be a coincidence that come every winter when the light in the days are quickly devoured by the dark a restless, dissatisfied and highly irritable mood overcomes me.

Spring’s fresh buds are greeted by the birds.

Summer buzzes with radiance and anticipation.

Autumn’s leaves whisper when they fall.

Winter sits shrouded in soul sapping greyness and speaks to no one.

Although when I was taking photos of the dullness outside this morning to illustrate the dreary weather we’re living through at the moment I caught this:-

A rainbow against the grey, giving us all a little hope.

It’s That Time Of Week Again…

This time last week I was feeling the same as I do now.  Perhaps slightly better even.

Is it the Sunday night blues, the terrible thought of “It’s back to another loooooong week at work”?   No, it’s worse =(

I’m stressed out, just as I was stressed out last week.  Not only do I have a long week at work ahead of me, I also have three interviews!  Oh no!!! Σ(ﾟДﾟ|||)  SIGH.

Tomorrow’s interview is the worst because I have to give a presentation, as in, I will be given a presentation topic, 30 minutes to prepare for it and then I’ll have to stand there and present my thoughts to the interview panel.  Right after that we’ll launch straight into the interview proper.  YIKES.  I’m so nervous just thinking about it!!!

I can’t wait for tomorrow to be over……

On Tuesday I have another interview first thing in the morning.  This one doesn’t involve a presentation but I will have to talk at length about skills I’d kind of forgotten that I had.  That’s nerve wracking in its own right.

Then on Thursday I have another interview, much in the same vein as Tuesday’s.

So.  It’s going to be a hectic week!  But I hope everything goes well and that I end up getting offered at least one of the posts.

I really hope I manage to think on my feet and not be nervous and not make a fool of myself.  Please pray for me everybody.  Pray that I do well, I present myself well and I get offered at least one of the posts, preferably all of them okay?  Especially the promotion post, which is tomorrow’s interview.

At the moment I am feeling very grumpy because I am stressing out =(  What a horrible feeling.

I hope all of you have a lovely week ahead!

One Day Down, Four More To Go

Finally I’m home.  Finally the day is over.  Rejoice!

I’m so tired today.  I’ve had this really weird headache since early yesterday, I don’t know whether it’s to do with the change in weather or whether it’s because I was stressed over my written exam for today.  I’ve still got it now in fact but I don’t care anymore because my written exam is over!  Yay.

I don’t think I did that well in it; I ran out of time and my report was really disorganised and not particularly in-depth.  But I tried my best under the circumstances so I’m not going to worry about it anymore.  What will be will be and all that jazz.

On the train home I started dreaming of what I’d have for dinner.  I decided on Chinese delivery and the first thing I did upon reaching my stop was withdraw some money for it.

Comfort food is better than a michelin starred meal any day.  Michelin starred fancy food is good for when you have time, energy and feelings enough to spare but comfort food is good whenever.  It doesn’t demand energy from you to enjoy it; in fact, it actually gives you energy and soothes your ragged soul.

Now I’m off to have some chocolate to make myself feel even happier! =D

Food Diary

Lunch – Roast chicken and stuffing sandwich

Snack – Two clementines

Dinner – One hot and sour soup and Singaporean fried vermicelli.  This is now my favourite Chinese takeaway order.  In the old days I would never have thought that I’d like Singaporean fried vermicelli as much as this but I gradually acquired the taste for it and now I love it, especially from the Chinese takeaway near us, their food has very good “wok hei”.

Dessert – One Lindt chocolate bar

Drinks – Peppermint tea, English tea, water

Dessert 2 – A few squares of fruit and nut!  I haven’t had this yet but I will in a minute hehehe.

Not much is better than lazing on the couch with chocolate in one hand, watching mindless dramas.  I love the theme song to that rice drama that Ron Ng sung, I listen to it all the time!  Haha.
