Knock knock...anyone here?

Wow....my last post was 2016?

It's crazy how time flies huh. We're now in 2024 and almost finishing the year.

I had a good long decade or more on focusing in myself and enjoying life with plentiful of freedom.

Fast track to now...I am seeing someone officially. It came out of nowhere, just like wot everyone says when you are least expecting and not looking. It's not easy, it's complex and I am obviously not used to some of the changes and the loss of "freedom".

However, I am appreciate of her, of this rs. 

It feels like I am learning all over again, to have consideration of another person for whatever things I plan or want to do. 

Also, it's hella scary.

Can I still do rs?

Just thought I'll give a check point update and this blog has too much mems to be given up.

Bello

Well Hi! It's been another year.

Quick update:

Stuck in my current job for 4 years. Can you believe it?! It's almost time, I mean it's actually time to move on but my current job is way too comfortable and flexible - pretty sure I won't be able to find another to match up unless they are willing to pay me a lot more. I'm always open to opportunities.

Everything else is going well with some things still not being a priority and just can't seem to be a priority, not that I didn't try but I cannot keep my interest going. I'm easily distracted with seemingly more important stuff happening for me. Soz if I drop off or ghost off suddenly.

Speaking of important stuff, I bought a new house. Yay!
And my time is all taken up researching, meeting IDs, going through renovation stuff, furniture shopping etc. You know it.

Looks simple but so much things going on, good thing I still have my pals for company, finding unique things to do in the weekend, or doing the most mundane/crazy stuff together, getting a drink to de-stress. You know it's hard not to go crazy in this crazy little world.

Alright done clocking for 2016, see ya next year.

Anyone still reads this?

Hi, a date yesterday brought me back to a lot of old memories.
One led to another and I'm here, reading all my old posts.

I'm 32 this year and I started this blog when I was 20.
I will never give up this blog even if blogging happens only once a year.
There's just too much precious memories to have them forgotten.
I'm thankful to have these written down - put down in words; reminding me of my happy times, my down times and my growth.

I have selective memory nowadays so this blog is perfect to stay.

I still try to keep up....

9 years

Do know that I still love you very much, it's been 9 years.

I know that 7 years of itch is kind of upsetting but you're my greatest pride. You'll always be my number one, I will always come back.

omg...I am so jet-lagged. Extremely sleepy......

Goodbye...

With a heavy heart, I bid goodbye to my neighbour. Today I came home to see some square shape red paper paste on our lift wall, our corridor’s wall and outside my neighbour’s wall. As a Singaporean Chinese, I know very well what that means…

My neighbour is 87 years old but still very sturdy and fit at her age. She’s exceptionally friendly and chatty which helped in the building of our relations.

Sometime last week, I noticed I haven’t seen my neighbour around. It wasn’t hard to notice her disappearance as she’s really chatty and loud. I was kinda taken aback when my mum told me she bumped into auntie’s daughter and found out that auntie is in the hospital. She has Cancer.

However, the daughter mentioned that auntie was in no pain and was still very energetic in the hospital. The doctor gave them 2 choices; one.. is to let auntie under-go a surgery that has a 50-50 chance but if its the lower 50, she will passed away very quickly, second..leave the cells alone and she can live on until the cells spread to doom. Her daughter asked my mum for some opinions and my mum told her, auntie is old and might not be able to go through a surgery so why not let her live till her last days.

I am not sure which path her daughter chose but I know today, she’s gone.

I can’t say I’m extremely close to her but I feel a tinge of sadness. We have a little bit of trouble communicating as she mainly speaks teochew and I’m not good at it. She was a great neighbour to have albeit of the bad temper at times but mainly good and kindness for us.

It’s not hard to miss her; miss her cooking as she would share her delicious cooking with us, miss her help in watering our plants, miss her loud TV sound, miss her friendly smile when she walk pass, miss her trying hard to communicate with me, miss her loud slamming door, miss having her as she makes the block’s level a lot more lively, miss having her watch our home when we’re away…..just miss having her around in our neighbourhood. I believe many people in Tanglin Halt will miss her dearly.

Goodbye to a kind person who has lived a wonderful 87 years.

My deepest condolences to her family, my thoughts are with them.
