I didn't feel rejuvenated after a week-long conference cum getaway. I am back into reality! I could feel " my long time friend" called Stress creeping back into my life once I stepped my foot into Changi Airport and breathe in the S'pore air. Am starting to wonder is Singapore too stressful a place to live/work? Or is it something wrong with me?
It is the perfect time of the year to travel in March, perfect for getting a cool refreshing dip in the sea in the warm sun. Thankfully I managed to spend time with myself. I still had mornings and evenings for myself after all the meetings were over. I would be thinking about bags, new bags, coming collections, how to get the best price for exclusive pieces. After traipsing half the city, I felt a sense of comfort and proud being a S'porean. On the last morning I sneaked off to the beach to have my alone-time: to drink in the sun and breeze, to watch the waves and surfers and to swim around in the cold water. Lovely.
I thought I could radiate some serenity once back in office, and get all my pals so jealous of me as they slogged in the office all week long. Yes, I thought.... By the time I finished unpacking my luggage, I felt I just unpacked a ton of stress and to-do-list back into my home! Where were all the yummy chocolates and sweets I bought? They just turned into something undesirable. I decided to go for Yoga even though I was severely jet-lag. I found myself snoring while laying on the mat for at least 10 seconds, if not more. I was that tired.
Anyway, I cannot offer anyone any magic potion to deal with Stress. I guessed we have dealt with it before and "our friend" will be lingering whether we like it or not. Somehow I am sure, we will manage to keep "our friend" within its threshold and not get too close to us.
Oh well, I am going for Yoga now and dreammmming of bags.
