how to spice up my life?

A psychometric test I took recently had one question: How do I feel about jobs that are routine? Boring? Or confident and secure? My answer was the latter.

In a similar context, in my life right now, I hold a different answer though. It seems that my past 2-3 months have been a very routine, if not a mundane period. It does not make me feel 'confident and secure' for sure, because there isn't any reason for me to feel that way about my life now.

My current working schedule is as such: day shift, night shift, followed two off days. There isn't anything for me to look forward to on my off days, like seriously. And for that reason, sometimes I wished I had this inner strength to carry on working everyday tirelessly, because that way, I'm at the very least occupied with something to do. On my first off days, I'd usually hit the gym with Hakim and that is probably the only more-or-less consistent thing I do away from work.

These days, I try to engage in more activities to make my life more interesting and less mundane. A most personal example would be reading. Thanks for holding that book fair at the Expo recently, allowing me to source for more good reads. I made some vain attempts too, to ask a few of my friends out. Recently, I found solace in watching Prison Break online, so much so that I couldn't wait to get back home, switch on my PC and click the play button on the Net. Other queer things I did to kill time included a short fetish with Sudoku and the Rubik's cube.

And I got to realise that these things I did (or tried doing) are but temporary. I think I need some stability and assuring factors in my life. Right now, honestly, I am feeling quite hollow. Routine, routine and routine. Even though my father had just returned from his assignment abroad, there's only so much my family can play a part in helping me lead a fulfilling life. I'm not saying my family is not an intergral part of me. No way that's gonna be true. I'm saying that I need some changes in my social life, in a way, something that is more permanent.

Can anyone suggest anything, please?

ps: The view of my life now as routine and boring does not mean I contradict what I feel about routine jobs in the psy test. Jobs give a sense of meaning in themselves so in a way they make me feel stable and fulfilled.
