aimless weekend thoughts

a lot of things went through my mind this weekend. on one hand, i have a workshop to scope and my top management has asked me to sent them my slides (which i have not even prepared). and admittedly, this is stressing me to the point where i have started to dream of the topic. the thing is, i have not even started anything on it. but on the other hand, i have just finished a stressful workshop and am in no state to start anything mental cos i feel totally burned out.

weekends are supposed to allow us to rest and to catch up with our loved ones. but apart from a short 2-hour period on saturday, bee was busy with his work/ friends and i have the whole weekend to myself, and my mum. i brought her around to do her needful tasks (pack her stuff, collect her medications, etc), go to the temple, etc. but well, there is only so much one can achieve spending time with one's mum right? by the end of the day after mum retired to bed, i felt somewhat bored. so... yup, lotsa mixed emotions through the day and different issues in my head. stressed, bored, busy, tired, lonely, etc...

so here i am, aimlessly lost in my own thoughts on a sunday afternoon and blogging. by the way, when you feel stressed by some issue/s, how do you respond to it? for me, i do it the following way...
  • address the issue (be it work, money, etc)
  • go into myself (think about it)
  • avoid/ escape from it, do something that would rid my mind off it/ make me relax (masturbate, watch porn, go for walks, watch movies, kaypoh about/ stalk people in facebook, suntan, laze by the pool, people watch, go for a good meal, etc)
and what do you do when you are bored? for me, i do the following...
  • update my blog (like i am doing now)
  • play with sapphie (i try to cos i only have weekends to do so)
  • read a book (oh, this is so seldom these days)
  • watch a show (porn, movie, youtube, etc)
  • do housework (you will be amazed how a bit here and a bit there can kill a whole day!)
  • do work (lowest priority but yes, i do it when i need to)
  • suntan/ laze by the pool (whenever i can but certainly not on weekends as far as possible. i don't like the gay crowd [surprised?])
  • etc
and of cos, not to miss out, what do you do on your weekends? for me...
  • look after my mum
  • together with bee, bring mum out for meals
  • go for a good meal
  • housework
  • housework
  • housework
  • housework
  • housework
  • and whenever i can, like for example, after putting mum to bed, to head out to do a bit of shopping and perhaps even for a foot massage...
and finally when i am done with all i need to do on a weekend, i take my rest and then when i am rested and i get bored...
