A case of Mondays

Weekend's are great! They're really great! They just pass too fast.

The daily life here is quite fast-paced. A normal weekday so far has looked like this:
07:15 Wake-up
07:55 Off to work
08:55 Arrive at office
12:00 Lunch-break
13:00 Back to work
18:00 Off from work
19:00 Back at the apartment - start cooking
20:00 Eat and watch some TV
23:00 Bedtime, read a book untill you pass out
07:15 Wake-up .... And so on.

That's how it's been so far. Now I started jogging and also need to start going to the gym, so one can add either of those two somewhere between 19:00 and 22:00. And since I finally got an internet connection to my apartment, the TV can be easily replaced with that as well.

Friday is usually a bit different compared to the other weekdays and that's because we quite often go out to Lan Kwai Fong straight from work. Lan Kwai Fong is one of the better known bar-districts of Hong Kong and is an completely different story of its own so I'll come back to that later.

After a long Friday night comes Saturday and usually it's nice to sleep late. However, it is already Saturday. Since weekdays pass so quickly, weekend's come soon as well and take a lot less time to pass, unfortunately. Saturday is my usual cleaning day so once I wake up I vacuum the apartment and clear up any mess I made during the week. Saturday will henceforth also be a longer jogging/excercise day for me - and a day for all the activities I can't do during weekdays because of lack of time. Sundays are the lazy days of just relaxing, and maybe just a nice walk outside - if the weather permits.

So, yeah. I know this kind of a post doesn't really hold much value as such to anyone. But I just thought I'd explain my daily routines to anyone who might be interested.

The bottom line of this all is that weekdays pass really quick. With not much time beyond office, it makes the evenings pass really quickly. Weekends tend to be a bit shortish in terms of full recovery of the past week, but well, that's what I get so I try my best to enjoy them. Vita non est vivere sed valere.

Can't wait to have my annual vacation though!
