When you find a song that you can listen to on-repeat, you know you've found your song.
Life has been a little bit of a slow walk lately.. I can't say that I am feeling discouraged, nor that have I been particularly motivated. Just kinda stuck, in a blissful cycle.
I took my coffee black today, because I ran out of milk. And it tasted good. Just saying.
Current status: My entire body is aching because I've recently started gym-ing again. My stomach is probably still busy digesting my Korean BBQ dinner. I've been drinking truckloads of water because it's been so hot (and the BBQ), and my lips are dry. And I FREAKING can't go to sleep. T___T
Why? Is it that one coffee I had earlier today? But it can't be. I usually have more than one, and even in later hours of the day, and I still go to sleep fine at night.
Grrr. I hate not being able to sleep when it is bedtime. And for not knowing the reasons that are keeping me awake.
And if I send out work emails now, I'd look like a psycho trying to please my bosses, which is not entirely untrue. Except that I'm not a psycho - I just can't sleep.
Since I can't sleep anyway, I'm going to journal for a bit. Today, it occurred to me that there are two types of friends - A, the type who would go out of their way to do you a favor. And B, the type who'd very honestly tell you that they aren't willing to go out of their way. Not the sweetest I guess, but honest nonetheless.
I don't think B is any lesser of a friend than A. People have their reasons. And I shouldn't judge (although I have to admit, I did).
But the truth is, there is also a type C, the type who would do you that favor but very unwillingly.
This serves as a reminder to myself to be a consistent type A friend. And in tough situations to be a type B friend. But never to be a type C.
And one last thing to remember today by. A tip from living abroad (or in general when one finds oneself in a new place). There is always no harm in walking the extra few steps to the directory to get your bearings than to rely on gut and walk around aimlessly!
Just when I didn't think I'd see anything worth seeing this late at night early in the morning. I caught Obama's live speech post election, which was a really good message. Here's a summary by the Business Insider if you didn't manage to catch the speech. The final takeaway was this and I hope it sticks with me:
"I've said before: I think of this job as being a relay run," the president said. "You take the baton and you run your best race and hopefully by the time you hand it off, you're a little further ahead. You've made a little progress. And I can say we've done that."
I decided to do a video! I figured it'd be fun, and it was pretty fun - except that you'll have to plug in your earphones to actually hear me because I was mostly whispering talking really softly so that my landlady won't think I've gone crazy talking to myself.
Hahaha, enjoy!
P/s: I didn't realise I was speaking with an accent until the playback. Guess that's just me trying to impress.
I've been absent for a long while now.. Life has been full of ups and downs, chaos and moments of clarity.
For the most of it, now I am back on track (I hope), and am writing this on Notepad (which I will later just Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V into Blogger) because I am not connected to the Internet at home. This has been a running issue with wifi at home but I've managed somehow. At least it's preventing me from watching an episode of Kim Woo Bin / Shin Joon Young being an absolute idiot and wanting to shake some sense into him - definitely, he has better options than to break a girls heart that way.
Hur.
I am too full to go and shower, too full to do my #22dayspushupchallenge, so I am just gonna sit here and stare at my screen and just type what comes to mind.
I've been incredibly hungry at hourly intervals lately. Like, seriously hungry. And it's not that I've not been eating well - I eat well. But I just keep getting hungry. Yesterday I had dinner at 7pm and by the time I got home, around 10pm, I was crazy hungry and all because I conveniently have Snickers bars leftover from my 7-11 haul from Samui back in May, I ended eating a whole bar before I crashed out.
But the silver lining is, I don't seem to be putting on any more weight than normal. Metabolism in high gear? I sure hope so!
I went for a Groupon facial on my off day and the beautician said if I made it to the Olympics, I'd be on the "Who is that pretty girl?" list that people will talk about. So flattered. I'd take compliments like a lady when I am given some.
OH YAY! Dropbox is synced which means I am connected now! I'm gonna try to stream an episode of drama now while my dinner digests and then I'll do my 22 push ups and shower and study my Korean.
MY TEACHER TOLD US TO WATCH MORE DRAMAS!
P/s: Well, he also told us to do our homework.
Gah dang it, connection is so weak. I'm back here again.
Now I'm thinking if I should make myself a cup of coffee and just let that help my food digest. Maybe I should. But coffee was gonna be for after shower so that I can concentrate and get some revision done!
My poop has been really stinky since I moved here. LOL. So much so that I everytime after I finish my business in the toilet at home, I hope no one walks past the door. And to the extent where I try to do my business outside of home. So yesterday, I bought air-freshener from NTUC.
I love doing groceries too.
I had to buy banana for my landlady yesterday and I couldn't find them. Haha, goes to show how you really wouldn't bother about things that don't interest / bother you.
I also bought a pair of orange minion bedroom slippers on discount from Watsons. But they're so squeaky with their rubber soles.
I'm hoping to pop by JB to visit the Dad over the one day Raya break. But I can be such a lazy ass sometimes.
The longer I am here, the more I realise how much I love being on my own. Just doing my own thing. By my own independent self.
BSF starts again tonight, after a month long break. Here's to hoping I stay awake and remain attentive, which was always a very hard thing to do.
Bread kaya cheese bread kaya cheese bread. That's lunch. And coffee.
I'm never gonna lose weight. I just keep telling myself, you've burn so much by walking, you can eat that icecream. You've climb 3 flights of stairs, you can have that bubble tea.
Doesn't help that I'm becoming more careless with my spending either.
Here's a beautiful picture of what took place over the recent weekend. I suppose, I guess I do like my job. Please go like SingaporeSailing's facebook page and see more photos there.
