Feriados is derived from Portuguese and it actually means holidays. All along I thought I enjoyed holidays but somehow, my work has always been in the back of my head. I even wanted to return to office to do whatever work I had or do it at home. Um....guess it takes time for me to detach myself from work. But, come to think about it, apart from work, I do nothing outside.
That comes to an interesting point I reached during one of the leave day I had. Was with this fellow workmate, he was to bring me to Somerset to have some dessert. Well then he brought me to this shop, quaint little shop that sells toy models and games and cards where he patronise often. Everyone said hi to him when he entered. However, I just cannot understand why this group of people could spend the whole afternoon there playing games? My friend told me, they are enjoying themselves, can't you see? Then he continued to ask me if I do anything outside school or work? Well....i can hardly answer that except for my double bass. hmm........
These few days I have attended 2 dinners and 1 BBQ consecutively. Feriados made me realise that I can be so free yet, it seems that there is nothing for me to do at all. At least I managed to mingle with friends through these mini outings which I must admit, I thoroughly enjoyed. Other than that, I just stayed at home and wait for the news....then TV programme....then the news again and surf the net.
People normally say get a life. He does not have a life and so on. But what is a life? How will you define it? Perhaps, I am able to better define when I enter university when most of the time, I will be in the library.
I am not getting any younger. Where will all these lead me to?
