a colleague and i recently started taking korean lessons! 
although it’s quite hard to pronounce some of the sounds and our teacher gets slightly frustrated teaching us, i’m enjoying the learning process:) good thing abt korean is that it’s quite systematic and works something like jap (at least that’s what i’ve gathered so far), so i think just a matter of getting familiar with the pronunciation and characters.
i think i like learning.
decided to continue with the second round of my Friday hips-abs-butt-thighs lunchtime class, even though it sometimes sucks exercising knowing my colleagues are out for a nice long lunch. also signed up for Tuesday hip hop classes with some other colleagues can’t wait for the class to start! i don’t know if i’m doing this to distract myself from work but even so, i think it’s good to immerse myself in learning, rather than sit around and whine about life. you can’t feel down when you’re enriching your life.
there were some tough weeks in the past mth, when i felt so overwhelmed, i just wanted to drop everything and walk off, or switch to a completely different job. i actually browsed around to see what qualifications i would need for these other jobs.
maybe i think too much..i keep trying to find some deeper significance to the work i do..some noble cause that will justify the rushing and hard work..or at least some appreciation for the effort we put in..and i get so disillusioned when i can’t find it. but if i can’t decide what i can move on to, and i don’t have the courage to get up and go, i guess there’s nothing else to do but to learn to cope and adjust my expectations.
in the meantime, shall keep my spirits up by filling myself with new knowledge and new experiences!
화이팅! (hwaiting!) hee:)
