Train talk

Sitting in the train to NYC , I am tired and thirsty. Fed myself very well, but forgot to solve my dehydrate problem due to marathon intensive work session this afternoon.

Speaking of the work session, it went pretty well. I should be happy and I was happy when it finished and I got all these nice feedback. I was still making last minute changes 5 minutes before the meeting. The discussion was intensive. It was me battling or debating or agreeing with a group of people with different interest and perspectives. I almost lost voice in the end.  If only I had a bottle of water with me now!

Ok. Forget about water.  Think about tonight, tomorrow and this weekend. I am on my way to a lovely date with xiaozi and lovely weekend in NYC! It is exciting. But excitement makes me feel more thirsty. Hang in here. Very soon, the train will arrive at the final destination. I can get water and anything I want. How about coffee and some sweet stuff? Ow I realized I didn't have time at all for my routine 1pm coffee today and could not be more productive. So my pm coffee is more a comfort and treat to myself than a necessity to make through the day. Good to know.

Omg. The train is not moving. What is going on? Move move, please!

8:35. Xiaozi is having a tele con with his colleagues in SC and HK. He is such a hard worker. Recently,  We had a really "deep" and open conversation about mental well being and appetite for life, in our lovely living room as he insisted. We will continue the topic, in NYC. Hotel room, central park, grand central terminal or MMoA cafe. A different surrounding may inspire new ideas and thoughts. I look forward to it.

Still stuck here. Oh I am dying for water or any beverage. Maybe not alcohol though.

I should've brought the other book. The 4-hour work week. Just got it from the library. I only read a few pages here and there. It seems that The author try to teach people how to be efficient, productive, work life balance,  delve ping business model that allows a CEO work one dar a week in the office, outsourcing our life, mistakes the new riches made, etc. There are quite some interesting statements. One striking thing is about retirement. It may change my view on retirement completely. That interesting!

I used to dislike "chicken soup" type of book that teach one how to live better and feel better. I didn't feel I needed. This mbook seems intriguing. Or I have to deal with more things now than before, hence my own wisdom is not enough and need someone's. I don't know. But I do feel I am more confused about life than before. Strange. Am I really turning forty next year?

The train is moving! Yeah! Xiaozi sent me a message that he is coming to Penn station to pick me up due to the delayed train! That would be great. It made me smile. Things happen for a reason. I can picture xiaozi hugging me with a water bottle in his hand. I don't feel too thirsty now. Weird.

I am thinking of all the things happened lately. Nothing is beyond family, life and work. All is good or will be good.

The above was written on the train last night. Now I am having breakfast in the hotel restaurant. A hearty breakfast..am ready to go out to wander around the city.
