On travelling

Oh no, no good. I don't want to be like the aunties in the stories I've read who call home every 3 hrs of the day asking the husband if the kids had eaten or bathed. Absolutely abhorrent.
Thus, I shall totally relax in the upcoming trip. I shall not think abt work. I shall not think about my ism. Inspiration for my topic will come when it comes. Heck, I shud not even meet my supervisor until after i've come back, although it's already very late, and he might not be in sg, BUT i dun care. It's absolutely memememe time after 5 dec. Thus, no one shud remind me about anything remotely related to work after 5 dec. Yes, it shud be this way.
I actually admire those people who can demarcate work and play so clearly. I've got a JC teacher who will not be contactable after 4pm cos it's her family time. Though it sounds irresponsible, but i admire her courage to do it. In fact, for those who can set the work/play boundary so clearly might be an indication that they are efficient, thus they don't have to stay back to OT into their leisure time (of course, irresponsible pple aside)
But to quote Goh, amongst the flurry of changes brought about by globalization, who can actually do that? Work nowadays is just NEVER-ENDING. Not to mention to have to do stuff on top of yr own, just 'cause u got arrowed by yr nasty boss. urgh.
If I were to become my own boss one day, I shall tell my workers and clients that we keep strictly to our woring hours. No OTs. But then again, if my client offers one million to get sth done by 10pm, I might defect over haha. I'm afterall, money faced. :p
