4 hours
Tuesday, March 25, 2008 (2:57 PM)
i'm not certain if it's a trend to do the somewhat pessimistic balance sheet of time that we have but recently some friends are certainly doing so and they always end up with merely 4 hours of free time. perhaps that's the sad part about conformity into societal expectations. i'm amazed, however, at the fact that these 2 friends of mine do not know each other, yet they end up with the same result.
----------------------------------------
extract from friend #1
- 40mins wake up and eat breakfast.
- 1hr 15mins to and fro work
- 10hrs to work (include one hr lunch break)
- 1hr 30mins eat cum watch tv and bathe.
- 4hrs of personal time... (usually rot online for +2hrs, read 30mins newspaper...left 1hr 30mins unclocked time)
- 7hrs sleep.
extract 2 from friend #2
- 6 hrs to sleep
- 2 hours to eat (breakfast, lunch, dinner)
- ½ hour to wash up (morning and night)
- ½ hour to bath and prepare for work
- 2 and ½ hour of traveling time to work and home
- 8 and ½ hour at work (Include rest time, exclude lunch)
Total hours = 20 hours
Flexible hours = 4 hours

and no, i dun usually enumerate my friends like this. i recall a conversation between serene and myself over msn and it goes, not exactly but, somewhat like this...
serene: when you ord?
me: 14th april.
serene: looking for a job?
me: nope, i don't intend to work. haha...
serene: good. so unbridled by societal expectations.
her response surprised me more than mine did her. but it brought forth another revelation. that my belief that my response will surprise her is tuned to the frequency of what society accepts as a norm. working after graduation is a norm. so i shall not work! MUWAHAHAHA!!!
as if... -_-"
