Happiness of the day: i'm going swimming later.
Event of the week: going back to m'sia today.

I am reading the English version of Little Prince right now, because the French version is giving me headaches. It turns out that the ridiculous lines that I thought I read in French, are indeed intended to be ridiculous lines. Man, this book was so confusing in french. in english, this is a very funny story. I really need to brush up on my french.

I also want to recap my japanese hiragana. I was browsing through some children's books at kinokuniya, and I knew that I was supposed to at least know how to pronounce the hiragana characters. I forgot almost all that I learnt. Except say, maybe 10 characters. The only words I could read from those children's books was okaasan which means mother. Not particularly happy. Sigh. And to think, I took such a long time to learn them too, I forgot them so easily.

My work is still killing me. I'm helping my boss with the reading, highlighting the relevant parts for him, so he'll have an easier time when he writes his paper. man, over the past 3 days, I've read no more than half the assigned material, and frankly I'm beginning to feel like I'm quite useless, cos I used to be able to read so much faster than that. Probably also related to this, I'm having so much trouble completing my assignment for my GIS courses - I'm terribly behind schedule now. I don't want to hand in shoddy work, but I just can't seem to write, and express myself. That's another thing bugging me. See, so I can't read, I can't write. Shit, what can I do?

The website revamp is also taking a much longer time than I anticipated. Maybe because I'm adding a lot more things than before. I was planning to launch the new design on my birthday. Now it looks like I won't be able to make it. Especially with my work piling up and all. Argh. I hate being so slow...I feel like I'm riding on a wave of creativity right now, and if I don't act fast now, it'll be another 2 years before a new design again! That would suck. bleah.

I think this might be why I'm so easily irritated these days. I can't help but feel so incompetent in everything I'm doing. I think I need to go back to some basic stuff that I can do, and that I enjoy doing. My cross-stitch project is still waiting for me. I think I'll take a break from it all and just do cross-stitch today. That should be easy, isn't it? Just making crosses on a piece of cloth. God, please tell me I won't screw this one up.

Or I might just be feeling tired from one week of work. Office work is more tiring than I thought it would be. Thank god it's saturday today. I'm taking a break.
