Self-discovery

What exactly is stress? I'm not sure if i've ever felt stress. I always hear the adults telling my cousins "Must be lk ur jie-jie.. always so happy go lucky" and my friends say "mel's the best la. mel's always lk...Sky drop she'll be there to hold everything". Well i smile graciously to all these comments. Yupz what a beautiful life everyone paint me to have. I'm glad to be seen in such light too.

Moving on... There's 2 things i've discovered about myself (ok maybe not recently just that I've nv admitted it out loud). Whenever I dun have the mood to do the work i'm suppose to do or shld i say when i feel stress? (ok watever).. i'll be tempted to do 2 things:
1. Eat
2. Shop

Both r not things that are good though ppl say it's ok to indulge once in a while. Firstly, my eat = to munching all day! I'm quite surprised at the amt of junk tt i can eat haha ppl always say "r u sure? u're still so skinny" Alright i admit i'm not fat BUT i'm growing fatter already! My old pics tell it all.. so sad...... (by the way, i'm still muching on new year goodies now)
Secondly, shopping is as bad. I'm forever buying stuff juz to make myself feel happier haha I think i'm becoming quite a spend thrift. Trust me, i can come up with a million and 1 reasons to justify watever i've bought. In fact, I've the urge to shop later after all my proj meetings again! This week's gonna be a killer week. 2 presentations and a test. Among those are my most dreaded presentation and test. Corp reporting! sigh...

C my pt ppl? I think it's stress or maybe fear of failure that initiate my 2 self discovery.

The Orange Timber

Today was a pretty chill day, walking around, eating and reading my book! It has been a long time since I walked along Blk 85 market. I think the last time was during my sec sch days, on my way back to my grandma house after sch. Since I had breakfast there with my grandma today, I showed der the old sch cake shop where Cham and I bought a huge cream cake (not those fanciful ones we get these days) and finished it all by ourselves under the void deck! Der and I couldn't resist the temptation to buy a slice each :) Strawberry vs blueberry...Only $1.10 each. Those miniture ones that are sold at toast box cost $1.20 and they are only 1/3 the size of this! What a rip off for something nostalgia... Later in the evening, we decided to chill at The Orange Timber @ Tiong Bahru The Orange Timber is a cafe cum art gallery. The plates are bowl used were also meant to be something nostalgia once again... hah However, I use those cutlery at home too. There are like 3 sections to this small cafe...

Happy Chinese New Year!

Pending Down My Thoughts for 2021

 10.07pm, 31 Dec 2021.  The year 2021 is coming to an end. The year of Covid. The year we left LA and returned to Singapore for good. It has been 9 months since we got back but I still feel like it happened so recently. One of the Singaporean family we met in LA and hung out very often is in town to visit. Charlotte asked if we can return to LA together. She asked if we are really not going back anymore. We all miss LA a lot. Definitely much more than Moscow even though Moscow is a very memorable place too.  Spent the day at Sentosa, The Luge. Kiddos had a lot of fun despite the heat. I enjoyed myself a lot too and I am missing the times we hung out in LA. Thinking about them going back and us staying behind makes me a little sad. The kids still got along very well even though we have not met for sometime. Hopefully their friendship will remain as they continue to grow up. Recap of 2021 1. I realized I can bake.  2. I love making bread or trying to make food cute. 3....
