The "After" Attitude

Was chatting with dear the other day and she kinda pinpoint a negative character that i possessed - the "After" attitude. The "After" attitude is basically pushing everything or delaying things as late as possible. Have to admit that I love last-minute work cause that's the time where one is in a desparate mode and will push him/herself hard to complete a certain task. I have this mindset kinda similar to happy go lucky or something like the chinese saying,"the boat will be straight when it reaches its pier". Nothing seems to worry me till the end comes and when the end comes, it SHOULD be alright. I come to understand that all these bad habits are wrong and in a way, harmful or deadly to one.

Some examples,

Each time I am task to do a thing, even as simple as taking a glass of water for my baby when I am playing game, i would just simply say later, afterwards, etc.
Each time I am task to mop the floor or to call or to study, i would simply say later, afterwards, etc.
Exams may be drawing near. Could be alright if I put in my 100% effort when the date draws nearer. Study later?? After a game of dota or wow?

All the above are real in my life. It hurts to pay the consequences though some may be small or minor pain but exam results may cause a huge difference in my career up ahead.

I have to admit that I struggled through this lifestyle cause I have been so much into it. Put it this way, I am Pure Lazy. Unlike dear, she is one respectable woman i got to say. She puts in time to accomplish tasks tasked to her, without complain nor second thoughts, she will do it straight away and not later or afterwards. She is always on the ball and puts in 100% in all the things she do, all the time. No expecting last minute hiccups as she gets herself prepare since day 1, not last couple of days or last couple of hours. Inspiring to me yet being with her for almost 8 years I have yet to conform to be more like her. I slack back even more, perhaps taking every single opportunity of the goodness that I can retrieve from her. Sometimes it causes disappointments and hurt and that I understand and I hereby wanna apologise to you baby.

I'm sorry. I ain't gonna lay back and await to be serve. If this is going to be our future, that's going to make 2 of us and not you alone. I love you.

Knowing that you are not available now to read this. Perhaps you are in the library or swimming, I just wish that this message will reach you asap cause is really what I want to express to you.

Extending to this, I want to thank you for all the lovely gifts you have done for me and all the delicious food (damn she can cook real well) you have prepared for me. All the effort put in is well-appreciated. Going to build a showcase for all the items you have made throughout these years when we get our own little settlement. =)

Turning 24 this year and moving on to the next chapter of life, I am going to different and not to lay back anymore. There's a future for me to build and create and it ain't going to be build last minute but i am going start early and start right now. For the future of me and you, let's work hard together. :)

Togetherness is the key to all barriers. We have done it so far and we will still be going to do so continuously.
