not much.. i'm only starting to rediscover the joys of this thing called "weekend"
was on shift for the past few years..
this weekend, i've done nothing but vege coz of the weather.. it's been raining cats, dogs and other small mammals...
next week, i'm going to vege for some of the saturday, go walkwalk around town for a bit, maybe go look at the shops like Apple Centre, go to bookshops to browse, look at gadgets and then wander over to Muddy Murphy's to meet the gang
i would say mostly, vegging out and not thinking much.. that is relaxing
hey.. if you wanna, come meet the gang at Muddy's next saturday, we're celebrating the baba kid's birthday
-
hMz...i'll prefer to either jio a friend or two out for a cup of Starbucks/CoffeeBean/etc coffee...
Can flip a few magazines/books and settle for a hot coffee. Set your mind carefree, thinking nothing about work..looking ard the surroundings n ppl walking ard..etc... -
This past couple of weekends doing lots of work prep for my new job
Hmm in the distant past where I can remember non=working weekends .. usually up to some activity or another with friends. You interested in trekking? It's free
Recently been learning to play bridge with brother and his gf... we're lousy but it's still quite fun

If the shifts were really really bad, I'd relax by taking a nice, long nap!
Otherwise, I'll relax by watching TV, reading, playing computer games, chatting with friends on the phone or via MSN, and... as all of you know too well... kay-poh'ing in Club 30! 
-
Oh! How could I?! I forgot that I like to go out with close pals for a yak-fest in one of our favourite haunts too!
And sometimes, I like to go watch movies, either alone, or with another friend. I kinda love watching movies alone at times, or going out alone, cause you don't really have to talk and the entire time, you can enjoy being quiet, and just enjoy your own company!
And oh... mustn't forget the all-important... RETAIL THERAPY!!! -
retail theraphy = shopping?
-
no.. it's not actually shopping...
it's looking for things that cost less than they should, buying the thing and never using it or seeing it ever again

haha.. good description.Originally posted by the Bear:no.. it's not actually shopping...

I simply relax at home, or go to the pub or have a few rounds of pool. Just do the things you don't normally get to do on weekdays.
-
Workout! I workout every single day for 60-120 minutes, using different gyms, meeting different people, gossiping about different things. I've been at this for 22 years already and kinda addicted. Wife is a workout addict too.
And eat! Eat eat eat....buffets, hawker centre order-everything fest, etc. Insead of eating nearby like on weekdays (none of us cook), we go further a little on weekends - eg. Changi Village, Chinatown, downtown, etc.
I also visit parents, in-laws, go suntanning, shopping, watch TV, wash/polish my car, clean house, etc (these, I don't necessarily do every weekend).
Two days from now, I'm off to Bangkok again for a week. It'll be a semi-business, semi-pleasure trip.....shopping for CNY with my wife, under the guise of a company trip! (Yes, of course I will meet my regular training partners in Bangkok for my daily workouts too.....after which we go for a buffet followed by a 2-hour massage - all without the risk of going bankrupt too! This is a lifestyle we can't afford in Singapore.).
During office hours, I'm Type C-. After office hours, I'm Type A+.
Hey Steph84, so you've finally graduated? There is a saying "you started dying since the day you were born". Think about it and you'll know its true that its a one-way street! So take life easy a little lah, because you only live each day once.
When we're lying on our death beds, we won't think about how well we've done in our career or how much money we have. We will instead be thinking of how happy our lives were, how kind we have been to others, etc. So try not to be too uptight and enjoy life a bit lah, spread some happiness..... -

Very gratifying, but also very dangerous for your financial health. I speak from personal experience. when I step into bookshops and cd shops.Originally posted by Rhonda:Oh! And oh... mustn't forget the all-important... RETAIL THERAPY!!! -
thing about working out so much, it's actually kinda bad for you in the long run..
one of my colleagues worked out so much (he runs off to run and other stuff like that during lunchtime) that he has to...
i think he injured himself once when he fell... because his body ran at white heat most of the time due to all the exercise, he fell ill and was pretty much in ill health until he could exercise again...
i think he's tapered it off already.. -
Geylang?
.... I mean go there eat durians...what u thinking?
Maybe go orchard relax watch movies, drink some slow paced coffee at coffeebean etc. -
Same thing when I step into bookshops and CD shops too!Originally posted by av98m:Very gratifying, but also very dangerous for your financial health. I speak from personal experience. when I step into bookshops and cd shops.
Worse, on top of that, there are the apparel, accessories, skincare, etc. -

dont need to wait until weekend to relax mah. everyday i will take time to run. even though the entire session is not long its cathartic effect is there! and i always like to squeeze in dinner or supper sessions with friends.
similarly during weekends, like to go out with friends... can do anything, or just chit chat. like to play mahjong, window shop for books, clothes, computer stuff, also. -
