Week #9

It's been a while since I last updated and I guess the reason I've been away for this long is because every day has pretty much been the same but I'm still more than just grateful. 😊

Every day is such a mystery and I'm so glad most days end on a rather good note. Although I've been battling a constant massive headache every night for almost a week now, and I sometimes take close to 2 hours to fall asleep, I'm actually quite happy. Despite the challenges and the occasional need to rant, I believe everything will be worthwhile. 😌

I've also been worrying about the whole internship thing but I'm so, so thankful and humbled by all the opportunities I've been offered. 🙆

I'm just going to keep working harder. 💪

Today has been a rather exhausting yet fulfilling day. (I secretly love it when days are like that.)

While on the way to school, I was on the brink of tears just thinking about how I've to survive the entire day on less than 5 hours of sleep because I just couldn't fall asleep last night and it was terrible. I woke up with rather puffy eyes and had second thoughts about using my contact lens.


Very thankful for the encouraging messages I got on Instagram! Maybe that's how I managed to pull through somehow. 😊

I kickstarted Week #9 with a group meeting in the morning. Followed by a 2-hour lecture until 130PM before spending the next hour completing my Korean homework. And then I met Grace (!!!) for lunch and we spent a good 2 hours (at least) talking about so many things. Haven't felt this good in a while. 😌 Before I knew it, it was time for tutorial and that took another 2 hours. After which, I met Dion for dinner and left school close to half past 8PM.

I reached home 10 minutes before 10PM and am feeling extremely tired now I could K.O any moment. The last thing left to do is a shower before I can hit the sack even though I didn't manage any readings since I got home.

I have a couple of posts drafted but haven't found time to complete them so as a compensation, here's an outfit I pulled together when I headed down to Little India yesterday:

Sweater top / Skorts from MDS / Shoes from Bensimon (Zalora)
Bag from Shopkysse / Necklace from The Cloveri

Am slightly psyched for Shopkysse's new collection launch tomorrow. 😁

Goodnight everyone!

Hopefully I'll be able to produce another post some time during the week!

I remember

It's Sunday night all over again. I can hear slight drizzle against the window panes and I'm watching the lights on the other building go out. People must be heading to bed and I wonder: Do they dread waking up to Monday? Do they hate Monday? Do their bodies feel unusually heavy on Monday mornings? Do they drag their feet into office? It was a surprisingly tough day today. But it reminded me of the conversations I had with Ains. " You're really too nice. That's why people always bully you, " she said. I knew this for a long time but I was thinking of the best way to construe my personality without sounding like a pushover because I'm not. I simply developed a sizable threshold for bullshit over the years. I suppose it is my way of maintaining zen and a passive way to show I'm backing down because I believe there's no reason putting up a fight against anyone who has decided not to give me a real chance even before the argument began. To some, when I...

You learn to live with your crazy

I'm crazy, just slightly  crazy. I'm crazy but maybe I'm not crazy after all? I say the most bizarre things. I walk around with messy hair. I dress down on Mondays and dress up on Fridays. I talk shit with and to my friends. I stuff my face into Shelty’s belly every night. I have a weird obsession with stickers and clouds.  I love walking around bare-footed. I love wearing my pyjamas. I love long walks, especially the ones that could last for hours. I love rolling in bed on Saturday nights while every one else is out.  I’m strange like that. Which makes me feel like a misfit in this society that’s all about fitting in. I don’t depend on technology even though I use an iPhone 6: I keep a handwritten diary, I write letters, I record my daily expenditure, I take notes with a pen and paper, I print my readings if possible, I use highlighters and liquid paper, and the list could go on. Yet I depend on technology at the same time: I scroll through Instagram every mo...

2021

Hello, 2022. Traditionally, this post would have been published on the last day of the year (as a reflection of some sorts) or the first day of the new year (to set out some new goals). But I had spent the last 2 days surrounded by good people and would not have it any other day. But here we are – second day into the new year and back to work when Monday comes around again. Sometimes, it feels like a lot has changed yet nothing has really changed at all.  All things considered, 2021 was not the best year but it was a good year. I felt like I had truly stepped into the world of adulting. This came in the form of looking after my family, including doggo, navigating the corporate world, and getting my act together for the most part. Summing up 2021:  Full-time adult, part-time child There is so much subliminal messaging out there that tells us we have to be at a certain point in our life by the time we reach a certain age. And growing up in a society constantly reminded me I...
