Today we had the replacement holiday for Deepavali (which falls on Saturday!) and I heard it falls on a month of ____ (sorry I forgot the name) which occurs only once every 100 years!
and yes, i did nothing today but slack. I decided not to plan anything so that I can have time for myself! It's great and I feel much more refreshed.
I noticed that I am getting a lot of electronic clutter in my room. I have moved back my laptop (which was a tome!) back to JB, so all that is left now is my Desktop, netbook, Ipod Video, Handphone etc. It doesn't look like much but the wires are definitely messing up my place!
Being an IC Designer means that I have a more than average understanding of all these equipment (considering that I am designing a lot of components in these stuff!!!!) and I must say that development in electronics is so fast that you can easily be irrelevant. Which is why it is often difficult for an engineer who changes his career path to come back.
My decision to stay and have a relaxing to-myself day is partly due to my injury. I was running around my area (an excellent and calm area btw, lots of trees and greenery on one side, and development on the other side, a really great contrast), when suddenly I tripped on something. I didn't really fall then, but sort of lost balance and due to the speed at which I was in, I crashed into a metal divider and rebounded onto the pavement. Thus, I have quite painful abrasions on my knees! Ouch!
I guess no more running until it feels less painful. But anyway, this reminded me of a person I met some time ago. Well, he was my canoeing buddy (although I quit after a short while because it was way too time consuming) and apparently, he used to be much fitter than how he is now. Apparently, he said, he injured his leg quite seriously and couldn't exercise for a long long time (a few years) and became less fit).
