doing too much or little

My little adventure at one of the foreign embassies this week was, on hindsight very amusing and entertaining. it was not at that point in time when i was all in pain from doing practically a half marathon (walking 8-10km) while having cramps, pacing back and forth orchard road to get documents, hunt for a place to take instant photograph, collect documents from people....trying to reason with the administration personnel doing visas, QUEUING in the long queue, being present from 9.20am till 12.20pm till it was finally my turn and i was STILL sent back and told "to come again tomorrow with all the documents".

But they were very fair. They did that to every person regardless of nationality, colour etc. Anyone who had one missing document was sent off and told "to come back tomorrow with all the documents". Some in the queue were frustrated, even angry and said "this is stupid!" but i was just amazed by how inflexible things were with the people there....hahaha. But it cuts down on their job and saves energy for them (The administration personnel).

And i thought, maybe we are just doing too much. We make things easy for everyone that we end up doing all the work for others. Simplicity is so much easier and taking a step back to smell the grass/flowers (i forgot which), taking siestas (lol.......not everyday of course) and enjoying huge grasslands, endless beaches, mountains, unending rivers would be so nice.

And i think the cough made me really see that i need to stop giving so much tuition or at least tuition that involves me running around like a madwoman.....the travel time and effort is just taking a toll on me. So i will just simply do less. full stop.
