We are all in the midst of unwinding down to close up for the year of 2012. No excuses to work at this time of the year, right? So if you catch yourself or caught by others for working during this time….,hmm, looks like your work/life balance may be in question. So are you totally off it? I am one of the culprits right now even as I am writing this blog!!! In any case, I am feeling relaxed, doing this over some drinks, of course!
So what am I doing now to unwind? A few things are happening now. Firstly, I have just got out of the country with the family a few days ago to Melbourne to be with my son, Kian Joo, with whom I spend so little time throughout this year.
In a few days’ time we will be off to Adelaide for some more peace and quietness, while relaxing like what I am doing now over more glasses of the best wine in Barossa Valley which I heard so much about.
I am also catching up on my sleep a lot these days, waking up past 10 o’clock which has never happened for years! I am allowing myself to be lazy and irresponsible, not doing anything. The frequent nagging from my wife these days for the messiness I am creating confirms this.
And, to cap it all, a few days ago I spoilt myself by rewarding myself with a number of things; a new pair of jogging shoes, a new laptop and an iPhone 5 (oops, this one is my Christmas gift from Kian Joo!).

So I am putting a good finale to the year in style. Unwinding down the fast track life I have had been doing is really deserving and needful. More so when I catch glimpses of what 2013 is going to be like. Ok, I am not going to elaborate on this, but keep staying in the present to savor and enjoy every second of your time with myself and of course, my loving family, through this blog. I trust you are doing the same.
