Daily routines exist no more. The only routine I have is Chi getting off at 21:00 and coming to Tung Chung at around 22:00. Everything before that is a hassle. I really, really need to get some more routines to my life - this is very much draining on my mental well-being. The way things are, I'm usually so tired by weekend, that I don't go out at all. In fact, it's been a really long time since I properly went out with friends.
So, what's the cause of all this?
You guessed it. Work. Plenty of work.
It seems things are easing up now, and I hope to see some significant changes up ahead, but lately our office has been like Santa's workshop on December 23rd. I don't know what has happened to create this situation, but it's definitely there. I remember this time last year I was stressed out for NOT having enough work to do. Funny enough, back then I thought it's much worse that having too much, making a silly claim about how I'm being just a burden to the company and how it's not right others are busy and I'm not. Well, I was wrong. Being totally overwhelmed by work sucks more. Period.
So, anyways... Even my week is full of busy days at work, I will try to change my routines for the weekends. With my parents here, I realized how much more stuff I could do during my free time if I just got up early and went out. These days I've just been sleeping late and staying indoors.
Need to sleep more though too... Hmmh, it's a bit of a problem actually. Need to sleep more, but need to wake up early. And then, Chi gets off so late I kind of have to stay up late... and... I don't know. Need to come up with something.

updates
It's been a long, long while since my last post. A bit too long, actually. When I started my blog I had in mind to keep posting as often as possible because if I don't, it doesn't make much sense to have a blog at all. It is kind of like a diary, I suppose, so what's the point of having one if it's not up-to-date.
Anyways, obviously a lot of things have happenned, much which now seem a bit trivial to write about. The main thing that happenned, probably, was my parents visiting here a few weeks back - which was really great! I had asked to have several days off from work to be able to spend more time with my parents as a tour guide and obviously just for spending time with them.
The first few days, for me, were a bit awkward as such because I didn't really know what to do with them and how to go about showing Hong Kong in a way that would be interesting for them. You know, so far I've only had younger people visiting so they pretty much have liked the same things as I... but my parents, well, I needed a different approach. Everything went really well in the end, however, and there'd be many stories to tell but I just can't be arsed right now. It's old news.
One thing, however, I need to mention. Of all the places we went to, one really stuck out of the mass and that was Tai O. Tai O is a small fishing village in West Lantau Island and has really saved a lot of its authentic feeling. The people still try to retain their old way of life, even with the occational tourists flocking in, and the place has just an awesome feeling to it - compared to the overly-modern Hong Kong most people know. I've put some pictures of Tai O for you to see at the bottom of this post. I think they speak for themselves. The place will definitely be on the menu for anyone ever coming to visit me here again.
It's been a few weeks since my parents headed back to Finland and since then things have gone back to normal. With my parents here, it was two weeks of walking, walking, walking, walking and walking a bit more. They were always going somewhere and everyday there was to be some program. I don't know how much I walked totally during their stay, but it was a LOT. Now, however, I've been able to skip that tedious form of moving.
Hmmh, I thought there'd be more to write down, but honestly not much has been going on since. It's all pretty much routines, I suppose, that have once or more been already discussed in this blog of mine.
There was a fire at the mountain next to my apartment. I took a few photos (below) of the firemen at work. Nothing much of interest but well.. since nothing else has happenned... Ha. Well, anyways.
I suppose I'll just stop typing now. Next time I try to have something more purposeful to write. Tchau!
