Yet peace surrounds

hello friends

very excited for the week ahead cos im not going to work hehe.

it's a very rare respite from the hub-bub of the usual work routine, so yay!

the next time i have a week off might be in december when im clearing leave, since we are highly unlikely to be able to travel anytime soon.

all da best for week 3/52 everybody ❤️

Two by two

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

we made it through another year yall. undoubtedly one of the worst of our lives thus far, so there's something worth celebrating.

new year's resolutions:

1. continue to grow personally and professionally (cheyyy, no but really. at a recent work review my boss told me a few points for improvement which i actually thought sounded very true so i will work on those. also, writing this makes me realise i dislike talking about work outside of work... don't think im the only one though haha)

2. continue doing the things i did in 2020 which i think i managed to achieve:

- spend time with the ones that matter (lol thanks but no thanks covid/lockdown)

- stay healthy

- stay clean and organized

3. spend less on unnecessary things eg. grab, bubble tea, expensive coffee (god i live for flat whites though)

4. discover more new music cos i keep listening to the same few things

also, some exciting things happening this year.

gonna be moving house somewhere mid-march! new house, new environment. new hang-out spots. im gonna be a lot less of an eastie :'( catch me at paya lebar/katong/bugis yall. but aside from being further away from all my friends, im very excited for the move hehe.

i have alot of AL from last year, so can't wait to slowly clear them throughout the year. haven't used my $100 voucher too haha.

 

i don't have alot of photos but wanted to capture the festive spirit of these photos before reality kicks in for the year. 

visited sherwin's baby nephew. babies are so soft and fragile that i am afraid to hold them haha

mum was looking at old photos... guess whooo

present-day haha

sod cafe's biggest fan right here

sherwin said this is a dick... to his credit, i couldn't think of anything else it's supposed to resemble though LOL

last meal of 2020 was swensen's cos everywhere else was crowded. no ragrets though

stormed like heck since new year's eve. was quite cool sitting in the bus while it poured outside though

kind of bad coffee bean brunch w mooma on new year's eve. oh ya i agreed to wake up at 6.30am that day to help her pack her classroom at school. i felt so much ragret when i woke up hahaha. but we had a pretty decent prawn mee bfast before going to sch, so.

meh hokkien mee at ayer rajah. it was weirdly sweet
