The Blissful Life

It’s official. I suck at blogging.

My last post was in April and it’s the 2nd August right now.

Let’s just update you of my current life right now. 

Singapore proceeded to lift the CB and we’re now on Phase 2. I’m still working at home(oh I really love it) though. 

Love that I get to do things during my lunch break other than “eating”. Been obsessed about doing some HIIT or Pilates during lunch time, gives me the added boost for the day. Will always try to go running after work or any physical activity related.

Can I just say how much I get to control what I eat at home? Weekday brunch always looks healthy and I love it. Hubs started his new job, no longer see him at home much. Miss his presence of course. 

Weekend is always great. I get to do my daily routine and recently we got ourselves involved in Badminton with a couple of hubs friends and their spouses. It’s been 6 weeks (mostly Saturdays) since we all did this. Everyone is always looking forward to the match. 

So, I think that’s just it. 

My leave is coming to an end, tomorrow is another day at work. Hopefully we’re able to travel soon, the only time hubs said he can “date” me. Tsk nonsense.

Time to hustle bb boo 💪🏻

Ps: I love you my annoying pimple

Let's cancel 2020

Here I am just felt like blogging 23 minutes past midnight.

I think the whole world is on lockdown now. I have no idea how far are we along the circuit breaker period in Singapore.

We just got extended all the way till 1st June.

I am going to miss all this once WFH no longer take effect.

Well of course, my company is heavily affected from the whole pandemic.

I kid you not I do worry for my job but that will just be a waiting game. (and a separate entry if it ever reaches to that point).

On another side note, there's probably no Raya this year(Hubs definitely elated with this news).

It's the 2nd day of fasting month.

Hopefully I can utilise this time to lose some weight too. I hope my weighing scale is not playing tricks on me but I might have lost some weight.

THIS IS GREAT NEWS.

Well, can't wait to go back to pre-flying weight. 

hehe.

Okay I'm just gonna stop blogging here.

Goodnight my goofballs.

Self-care 2020

Fast forward 3 months later, I am here writing to you bright and early. I wouldn't say it's really early but 8.57am on a sleep-in weekend, that is early.

So nothing much have changed except now, in 2020 I find myself doing things that puts myself first.
I have not been doing that for the past 10 years I think or probably my entire life.

People's opinion used to matter a lot to me but now, I couldn't care less. I don't want to get upset over petty stuffs anymore, especially now when I'm mentally incapable of doing so. Trust me, the past 3 years plus,  I have been really tough on myself mentally. Why do I always self-sabotage myself with the voices in my head. ,My mind has always been deciphering people's behaviour and how that affects me.


I knew that I needed to stop. This gets too much for me to handle sometimes, trust me it's exhausting.
Well, that's when I recently started self-care on myself lately.

Have been signing up things I never thought I would. Simplest things like going to the nail salon to get my mani and pedi (yes, I don't really like painting my nails that much but I do like the services rendered) makes me happy. Cut and colour my hair, so happy that I've got fringe now - It's been years! Well of course, buying more clothes (even though I have tonnes of it) does make me happy too.

This I promise myself, if I'm tired, I will let myself rest. If I'm hungry, I will let myself eat.
If I am annoyed, I will let myself walk away from the situation. If any of the situations invoked any feelings in me, I will act rationally of what is expected.

If there is one thing left for me to do is, to comfort myself with positive thoughts everyday.

I hope to come out stronger than ever.

Goodbye 2019, Hello 2020

Not really the new year yet but sweet as hell, I'm finally out of the office till 02 January.

Needed this mental break but at the same time feeling guilty because this is the period where it's the busiest.

It does gets stressful at times but only the closest ones saw the weakness in me despite putting up quite a front.

Nuff' said, 2019 is almost over and with that another 10 days later, I'll be officially in my late 20s.

There's so many things to achieve but I feel like I am going nowhere.

I want to be able to prove to myself that with determination and perseverance, I am able to make it.

I know this sounds so general but maybe I am not ready to share my insights on what I am planning to do.

2020 is where I have to execute my next 5 year plan that is still in development progress.

I really do want to wake up feeling excited in what I am doing but this might have just hit the plateau.

I need to find my muse again and it sucks indeed to not being able to have the spending power but surely, I'll be out of this phase once soon.

Gotta stop yapping now. 

See you next year!

xoxo,

Your girl next door.

Hub's 31st

Hello beautiful Sunday afternoon.

Here I am again, on my dining table with a good cup of mocha to start my morning.
Weird how I am up quite early (9 is considered early on a weekend for me!)

So this is my last day of leave before work tomorrow. Not really looking forward to it.
This is hub's birthday week, decided to take 2 days off from work.

I must say we have been quite productive despite being on leave.
Hubs didn't want to go overseas like we usually do every birthday, this year he wanted something different.

14th November 2019

Woke up pretty early just like normal working day just to collect our new passport from ICA and also his new IC. hahahah OLD

Everything was done in less than an hour, quite amazed and thankful that we actually booked the 9am appointment.

So right after, since it was still pretty early we decided to catch breakfast. Walked towards Bugis and eventually settled for Starbucks. Was not my ideal kind of breakfast, well atleast he enjoyed the pancakes.

We spent the entire first half of the day simply walking around town. From Bugis to Fort Canning, to Clarke & Boat Quay then finished off a train ride from Raffles Place.

I must say, this by far I remembered clocking 21,000 steps in just half a day. You have no idea how tiring it was, I can't even feel my legs. Now that my workplace is nearby, can't even clock a decent 7k steps in a day!!!

We made our way towards Boon Keng, to stop by Audio house to get him a present.
Well, that was what he's been wanting to get, the Sonos beam. I wasn't particular excited because aesthetics wise, not a big fan. I love a classic ol'  rectangular shaped sound bar.

He was contemplating quite a bit because of the price point but then again, if it's worth it, why not?
Sugar mama's here to pay HAHAH(only for his birthday kepish)

So it was indeed a good investment, our next visit here will definitely be for the smaller ones around the house!

We made our way home via grab and rest for a little while before heading out again for dinner at El Fuego Jewel.

All in all, dinner was okay. Nothing fancy about this place except for great staff who pays attention and very thoughtful. Will recommend this place if you wanna try out casual fine dining.

So that basically sums up the whole entire day!

Told hubs that I wanted a bathtub for my birthday present, let's just hope he can get me that.
HAHAHA.

k chao.

Mojo jojo, You're a Badass

Hello there my beautiful weekend, just dropping by to remind my future self if you're reading this.

You're self-sufficient, powerful and you rock your own world just like how you want it to be.
Be bold and beautiful.

Show the people around you that you deserve to be where you are right now in life and what's important is that it must be coming sincerely from you, the drive you're looking for.

I know you can do it.
You know we've got this.
Make as many mistakes as you possibly can and learn from it. Don't forget to rise above all, especially people who are trying to bring you down.

Your time is so precious to let them and their negativity to put you in a place you don't want to be.
So, put on that heels and strut that runway aka your world.

xoxo,
Yours Truly.
