"I should have never started killing time,
I can't go slow; Once more into the crowd, temptation wears you down; Go home, your heart too loud; Always." //Dryer; Seen Enough
We had lunch on Monday at Hog's Breath@Chijmes, apparently it's a favourite of the law faculty and their go-to place for work lunches, meetups and the sort. I know you order huge plates of steak when you go there but we just weren't in the mood for more burgers haha, so we shared a salmon and fruit crepes. Of course the conversation got kinda awkward at times, it's not easy trying to chivvy conversation along with someone who's so well-read, learned and ages before your generation, but at the end, I thought it was lovely spending an afternoon just talking about stuff I don't usually come into contact with. And he had perfect English manners, calling us dears and telling us cute stories about how he tries to get around the time difference to watch cricket on Singapore tv.
But I think the best part was when everyone was just sharing about their lives and what they were doing at the moment and the conversation kinda got to me. And I was totally, 'I'm not doing anything at the moment, I just resting and relaxing. In fact, I go to bed at 1130 and get up at 9, most days.' Haha and everybody was like, 'Ohh I'm sure we can find things for you to do. Here, why don't you TA for him and earn some money.' HAHA THERE IS NO WAY THAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN.
Didn't your hear Michael Ross Watson on Sunday? He said that it takes a concentrated effort to enter into rest. So that's what I'm gonna spend my entire holidays doing. Learning to enter and enjoy my rest.
