two sides of a coin

haven't blogged for a month or so... kinda feel drained after work n all i care is to jump straight to bed.

Today, as i was strolling around my office ( happened to be running a time base experiment, and there's free slots in between towards the evening) i found an aquarium in one of the unused office. It's got couple of quiant tropical fishes which i've not seen before. One has white spots on it's pale orangy surface, the opposite pair has orange spots on it's white body...a calico sucker fish which was happily sucking the algae fr a pebble. It froze when i accidently shook the table while stealing a closer look at it. Hiding behind the air bubbles were 2 small lil black fish, with a dash of red paint at its fore fins. I can imagine if they flap their fins, it would looked as if they're clapping their "hands".

Observing them made me missed my own guppies outside the house. Haven't been cleaning their terracota 'house' or watch them swing their flambouyant tails... only have time to throw breakfast down and rush to work... really miss waking up to consult the weather forecast station ( my feelings ) whether today's a good day to go class or back to the covers....

Working life- leaves me with just the rubbles left... i wonder whether it's worth spending away my youth this way...
p.s-"but ur working 10-4.30 onlee!! " ya, but these few days i spent about 8-9 hrs in lab coz of the long experiments i'm running...so i'm allowed to complain a teeny bit.

but here's the catch ( the two sides of a coin ) : i realize life's starting to get shorter relatively, so i am seizing the moments doing the things that are important ( i finished 1 1/2 books within 2 weeks of work, ran all the errands on my lists n still made time for ppl ! "clap, clap":) )
As compared to when i have ample of time to spare ( say the entire holidays ) - i found myself gasping towards the last chapter, not knowing where the space between flew off...

i duno how to conclude fr here...*yawns* tend to get crappier as the night draws nearer...
i still need more time to sleep ( more! ), practice my piano, talk to God...

p.s- today i stole 1 hr of sleep in the conference/newspaper room @ work...felt bit drowsy... think i'm getting sick ( again )! probably not enough rest over the weekends... See, i need more sleep !
