-holism

Workaholism - I like to work, at least for now in my current job. Casino Operations, Jackpot machines, Cool and interesting people around me. I often work OT at own will without incentives. I think I've mentioned before, I've been missing out in my social life. That's what weekends are for! More meet-ups/mahjongs/sports please! Love them even more. There's only 52 weekends in a year. Public holidays are like bonuses!

Alcoholism - This is part of work too. Socialising/Networking. Go around shaking hands, exchange name cards, start small talks, etc. Drinking makes the atmosphere less tense, more casual, less objective, more humane. Not about dollar and cents, more like story telling. Any inappropriate behaviours can be diminished by the excuse "He/She's drunk!" Wonderful. Work aside, nothing beats a drinking session with good buddies. Forget about the detrimental effects this depressant brings, for a moment at least. Relax and enjoy the accompany.

Well, the above two paragraph was super far from the extreme description of the two -holisms. I've been working and I've been drinking. It is time to stop and look at what I'm doing. I am young, and there's many things that I can still do. Many mistakes can still be made; people are more accommodating to the inexperienced. Many wild and extreme adventures can still be accomplished; before your body gives in and surrender.

Random thoughts: Been moving a little fast, I wish the pleasant memories can be replayed. Particular the good old secondary school days. But no point dwelling on the past, I'm looking forward to writing new chapters and memories about the future. So I'm picturing myself as an old bearded man sitting on a armchair, telling my grandchildren about the adventures and stories when ah gong was still a kiddo. Ho-ho.
