Duracell energy
Monday 1850
I was amazed at the couple whom we had worked with for a pre-wedding photo shoot last Saturday. Amazed because after a whole day of ‘working’ and later had dinner with us, they still managed to want to go to watch late night movie. I mean, aren’t they going to doze off in the cinema while watching movie? I know I would. In fact, as soon as we reached home and after some peeking at Facebook, I went straight to lala land. No counting sheep, no clouds of nice thoughts to lull me to sleep. No dreams at all. And only awaken when it’s already morning. I mean, I was THAT tired. Diana (the bride-to-be) said, they are used to not having much sleep and that they won’t hit the sack if it isn’t time for sleep yet.
Then today, I had a brief conversation with one colleague of mine. She was relaying to me how her weekend had been and how tired it was for her especially during the weekends. It was non-stop activities (house chores and outside activities) and no time for relax. Even during week days, the only time she could get some power nap is when she waits in the car for her children to come back from school. Wow!
Having no children yet, hubby and I are fortunate to spend all our weekend times without having to think about prioritizing children needs. Or to worry about house chores so much because the only mess we could have is unfolded fresh laundry. And being a person who loves my free time so much, I don’t fancy doing work-related stuffs on the weekend. For instance, one friend have asked if I would like to do tutoring for a tuition centre during the weekends. It’s a good thing, money wise. But I am just not ready to sacrifice my free time while I still have it.
But perhaps, I have been spoiling myself too much. Like making a point that I must have my afternoon nap after work (when it’s actually a 2 and half hours sleep) while some others think time is too precious to be spent napping that long. Or not wanting to make extra income just because I fear it will jeopardize my free time. Maybe, if I cut down my nap time, I could make use of the time wisely. Maybe. Maybe not.
Anyways, as much as I envy those who have sky-rocket energy, it is my call if I want to be one. I could be like the couple we met last Saturday or the colleague who’s working 24-7. But I also can choose to just do what I want to do and savor the privilege of having lots of free time now. Yeah, it’s my call.
As for having Duracell-powered energy, I guess, when the responsibilities build up, we cannot but have to stock up more on the bunny batteries more. Bah, nanti lah saya stock up itu bateri Duracell.
Some behind the scene photos from last Saturday.

Macam teda ja tu batu-batu dia pi limpang…

Since my height doesn’t come close to a model’s average height, and since Diana is, she gets to hold the flash gun for me.

A Polaroid photo of us with the great and fun-to-work-with couple. The Polaroid camera is theirs and Diana insisted that we get a copy of the photo as remembrance. Thank you!
Until next post!
*hugs*
