LIFE IS GOOD



| LIFE IS GOOD | : | LIFE IS GOOD | : | LIFE IS GOOD |

2 months of preparations, liaising and correspondences, only to realize that my shortlisted venue #1 is not open for booking on the day of my reception | LIFE IS GOOD | Why am I so careless?! I listed every detail but the day! The year, the month, the time, the duration, no. of pax, the food but the date! | LIFE IS GOOD | I am moreover scheduled for a presentation for this proposal next week with the biggest bean of the company | LIFE IS GOOD |

My inbox is full. My emails can't be sent | LIFE IS GOOD | deleted everything I can but to no avail. | LIFE IS GOOD | I archived. And my archiving was rewarded with an error message. Outlook crashed. Emails gone. ALL gone | LIFE IS GOOD | My IT manager is on holiday. | LIFE IS GOOD | Restarted my computer 9 times. It crashed. | LIFE IS GOOD |

It’s morning. It’s too much to digest. I walked out of office and headed to the toilet for fresh air. | LIFE IS GOOD | Morning gone. No work done. Plenty on the plate.

Last resort, used webmail. Survived the afternoon. Stayed back in the evening to work on what I can, with fragile hopes to get things done. Outlook can now be opened, but in selected areas. Yes. | LIFE IS GOOD | Send send send emails. Blast them all. 8.00pm. Go home time.

Squinted through everything and to my greatest HORROR, spotted all my sent emails sitting idiotically in the outbox. | LIFE IS GOOD |  Click to open the outbox folder, outlook crashed. Restarted my computer, reopened my outlook and comes horror II. Emails gone. Draft box empty, outbox empty, sent box empty. | LIFE IS GOOD | Where’re my emails? Where’re the many emails I’ve just sent? Where are all the work I’ve stayed back to complete? | LIFE IS GOOD |

Can't go home. Digest that | LIFE IS GOOD |

9pm. I should go. Cool.dry.breezy weather when walking out of office. Wet.liquid.heavy drops of rain when I stepped out of train. | LIFE IS GOOD | Walked home in the rain. Hair wet, body wet, shoes wet. And cracked. | LIFE IS GOOD |

10pm. I'm homed. | LIFE IS GOOD | Locked the gate, dropped my bag, started on the jar of chocolates. One by one I shoved it down | LIFE IS GOOD |

I bathed. With a background music of my neighbour’s scary voice in the middle of the night, singing.
| LIFE IS GOOD |


But above all, I have my best friend so | LIFE IS GOOD |
