just checked my 2012 bucket list. glad it hasnt changed much. these 2 items above have been the main reasons why i wanted a year break so badly. I do have another workaway coming up with these 2 educators on the faroe islands. hope all goes well.
it's not easy for me to be jobless, i realized. i put a lot of pressure on myself when i cant earn so the first 2 weeks of jan was tough. and then i got a text from my tuition kids whom i though werent gonna employ me anymore cus i wont be around. i ended up being a huang lian po of sorts, worrying about the house, find things to tidy, getting so hung up abt a messy house. maybe it's house pride. maybe i just didnt want to be a bad housewife.
i think everyone needs to take a break for a while, from work especially. i've been much happier not doing much, gaming, or just surfing my life away. i havent had the time to think about life though. i basically cant see beyond 2019 at this moment. work has taken up such a big part of our lives that we come home complete exhausted, mindless, and then waking up the next day and wishing for it to end again. maybe i should do this sabbatical every 10 to 15 years. save it for it. and then recharge.
i havent really thought about who i'm doing it for actually, maybe my dad, maybe evan, or maybe for a better me.
