Just sitting at Taurean right now. Bored to hell. Got out of work early not realising that most people are at work or are going back to work at this time of the day. Damn. Just when I'm starting to lepak again.
I realise that I need to rethink my lepak time but the problem is, our free time are different now that most of us are working. Those under the government work at different times than those in the private sector, which means that their free times are different. Then, there's those within the sector itself. Different places of work have different time slots. When one person is free doesn't mean that the other is. It might be easy to find time for your friends before life at work but once you get different schedules from your friends, it's not that easy to find the time.
Then there's the differences between each social life. A single person might be able to find the free time to meet his or her friend at anytime they want but someone with a girlfriend might be in a fixed schedule, trying to divide their time between their friends and their special someone. If you are married, it's a whole different story. You might be able to find the time for your friends but it is still limited as your time isn't just divided among your friends and your husband or wife, it is also divided for both sides of the family as well as your responsibility as a husband or a wife. Then there's someone with kids. This has got to be the hardest time to divide. The responsibility and commitment is overwhelming. Trying to find time for others might be harder than ever before. Dividing it between your friends, you family, your work and your interest is one hell of a task.
So, what is the solution? What are your solutions?
This is why, I guess, gathering occasions as they grow older so you can meet those people you used to meet all the time in the past just to make up lost times.
So, who's up to making one?
