The waiting game

As far as I can remembered, i've been running around like a headless chicken to be somewhere..appointments..meetings..discussion..chasing for proposal..kow towing clients. Plus I really hate waiting..I can't stand when i'm ready to go out and wifey still going at it with the lipstick and stuff....whilst I loved the rushing and pushing..it did wear me out...
Anyway..since i've been here...it was the opposite. I got more downtime...more waiting...no rushing...no running except chasing my bus..no deadline to meet...it kinda slow and steady ride...like an old black and white movie starring audrey hepburn..full of silent moment..add to that my new found interest in photography encourage me to wait...yup waiting for the best moment to capture a picture..it was hard..coz I loved to just shoot away and hoped for the best..and kept running. I always remembered while i'm driving in KL to just stop and enjoy the view..whether a sunset or a cloud formation..but I can't coz i'm rushing to another place..now I can do it...Now I can afford to just pause..pull out the camera and shoot..where ever I want..no place i'm rushing to..it's pretty liberating...
In my previous employment..they preached abt work life balance...but here..they are living it...it's a reality...I can see parents walking with kids from school, going to the park..on weekdays!...I mean how can they do it...how can they have a downtime...coz i'm betting when I get back to msia..the only downtime i'll have is when the mail server is down..
