Wonder what life would be like being a little more haphazard in the way we do things.

It’s probably my upbringing, or my family style, where being sure of things is always good. Like having a plan, and always emphasising on the cons that are the main reasons why you don’t do certain things.

Had dinner with colleagues last night, as a farewell to one of them who was leaving today. Her reason was to pursue a life being a nutritionist/personal trainer. She’s an accountant by training, but she just decided one fine day that this wasn’t her thing and decided to just let go and move on. She’s going to drive up to Brisbane and stop by any place she fancies to just chill. She already has a part time job as a receptionist and is currently scouting for accommodation.

Life is so orderly now. Have a job, place to stay, things to do. Maybe I’m easily contented. Well, that is the only reason why people stop doing the things they do and change. I realise that about myself, being easily contented. I keep wanting to learn about new things about computers and photography, but that’s more of a curiousity bug. People like me don’t really like to get out of their comfort zones too much, so leaving my job and uprooting to a new state can seem rather unnerving. Heh. I admire this quality in people and since I’m not one to start doing things like that, can only compensate for it by making my existing life more productive and meaningful.

While staying in Sydney, saw a quote on attitude on Vyanne’s friend’s door. Something you read before going out each day. Don’t remember the exact one, but this one catches the idea.

“The only disability in life is a bad attitude.” Scott Hamilton

Just need to start working out the details bit by bit and have an active thought to change.

Shared beer with my colleague last night. Had the last two on that list, Chimay and Duvel. Chimay doesn’t taste strong for a 9% bottle of beer. Duvel tastes a little more like Hoegaarden and also at 8.5%. Those numbers are rather staggering for a beer as standard drinks hover around 3.5 to 4%. A bottle is 750ml, hence the need to share. Both are rather smooth to taste, but this is expected from Belgian beers, where the best beers are brewed by monks in an underground cavern of sorts (or so I heard). Heh.
