I am a Slave

Yesterday, an sms from a friend said, “We have all become slaves to our work. It’s my mum’s birthday today and I’m just on my way home at 11pm.” Tell me about it, man! (Ps: this man dun imply my Man, but I’m sure he has a lot to tell me about this too!)

Well, I have been so busy for the past couple of months, working from 9am to 10pm, I think I almost forgot where I lived! My poor new hubby. I think he sees me just a mere 2 hours a day, that includes the time spent driving me to work! Usually, I was so exhausted after work and so was he, so basically I came home to a half asleep hubby who could barely keep awake to hold our daily chat sessions before bedtime. And seeing that this process started right after our ROM, I was rather worried he’s gonna forsake me for not fulfiling my duties as a wife!

Thank God I’ve got an understanding hubby and we managed to pull through this crazy period. Well, it helps that I got him an OSIM i-Pamper for his birthday. And let me tell you. It’s magical how a little ‘pampering’ helps! We had a fun time massaging each other. Heh. Though it was mainly laughing on my part. It’s so ticklish! I think all couples should get an i-Pamper! Oh no, I’m not working for OSIM. It’s just that it’s a great way to bond and its soooo relaxing!

Ok, back to being a slave to work. Sometimes I really hate it when work controls my life. When I’ve got no life besides work. What’s the purpose of working to make money when I don’t even have the time to spend those money?! So what if I earn tons of money but no time to spend with my loved ones? Ah, right! So what if I have lots of time but no money to enjoy myself? It’s tough to get the right balance I suppose. Work is part of my life’s priority but so is family. So it’s really a matter of prioritizing and knowing which means more to me eh? However, sometimes our responsibilities do drag us down too. It’s not always we can get to decide, especially when we’ve got datelines to meet. Sigh. It’ll all be a matter of standing firm to our choices and in the worst scenarios, doing things to make up for it. Like a little pampering….
