Less Slacking And More Living

I've been slacking and I'm not proud of it. Life has so much to offer and yet I just prefer to snooze, lol. I haven't been writing in my journal because I finished the last one and forgot to buy a new one when I was at the shopping centre where the shop was located. Many shops close earlier than the usual 9.30 or 10.00pm timing because of the virus going on here so people go out less. But I dunno, the malls still don't seem too empty because we Singaporeans still can't live without our food and shopping, haha.

So when I don't write, I feel like I lost a bit of direction in life. I mean it's not a guarantee life will suddenly improve if I write because there are times when I still kinda fall back to the bad habit. It's just that at least I have the time to reflect while writing so that gives me some perspectives in life, rather than have my mind clouded with so many thoughts.

Recently, I have been following a few Malay Muslim ladies online and they're not of celebrity status that we often admire because of their star power. But they are still inspirational, to me at least, in how they lead their lives with the aim of improving to become better version of themselves. They let go of things that are weighing them down, pick up new skills or ventures, business or otherwise, and while they work very hard behind the scene, they carry on their daily lives with so much passion and energy. 

People are so quick to judge, my God, like saying oh they have nothing to do like a day job that's why start the Podcast. So their timing is more flexible because they take on freelancing services or home based services but it doesn't mean they don't work. It's the modern times. People don't just stick to your regular 9 to 5 jobs. It also doesn't mean they work any lesser than us. These are still jobs, regardless, because they still bring in the income for the family because like us, they have bills to pay too.

Of course they're only human and at times, they get tired too but they keep going after ranting, because they think positively and just enjoy every moment. You just can't help but notice their passion through the posts they write, their daily activities, cooking, podcast show etc..And then there is me, who can't get over the last episode of the Taiwan drama because of one incredibly sweet scene.

I know these ladies also obsess over certain TV characters or shows but they still continue living like ok, these are just fictional characters, life still goes on. I try not to be overly consumed by Instagram, youtube and what other social media things but I also feel there is more that I can do. Lack of time or tiredness is not an excuse. The times bingeing on certain dramas or on IG can be better spent doing things that benefit us.

I hope to get my life in order and writing this post is a good start for me. Let us all strive to be a better version of ourselves too :)

One Step at A Time

Hello there It has been a while, right? I used to treat this blog as a place for me to rant, talk about nonsensical things and interests that, when I think back about it, were pretty cringeworthy. But it was part of the process of me growing up and navigating through my life which is full of ups and downs, just like the tidal waves. I still need a form of outlet to write out my thoughts and I have been journaling for the last few years. At first, I was still writing nonsense, or simply writing about how my day went, but I try to make it a more conscious journalling where I will write about things that I can take lessons from or to reflect on. So how has life been for me? Well, I no longer am running an online shop where I used to do customised cards and then just specializing in box cards. I do want to have an online business, preferably one I don't have to travel to meet people.  If you read my last post about being zen, I think I have 'tripled' the amount of zen inside of...

Listen to Me

It kinda irks me when I am trying to express an opinion or sharing a piece of knowledge but it's met with strong objection or Im being cut half way before I even finished. I mean...come on...does it hurt to actually listen first, doesnt matter if u agree or not? Yes I know everyone is entitled to their own opinions but it's frustrating because I feel like a sore loser. That sort of conversation is actually begging to be turned into some huge argument if I am equally annoying and equally strong headed as well. But I dont want to do that especially if they are my friends. Then again, I am subjected to being called a wimp or somebody who cant stand up strong against what she believes in or her own opinions. That will sorta give the person a sense of pride for getting a landslide victory. At first I used to think that hey, maybe the person has a point and I am wrong. But come to think of it, that's bull! It's one thing not to argue and another thing to let ur own opinions b...

Ray of Light

The act of falling in love. Very subjective and it also depends on the object you desire. Well, if it is the 'whoa mama!' sort of hunk or good looker, then yours truly has fallen in love many times over and over again. But a guy who has stolen my heart for good..well...that has yet to happen. But let's not talk about my non existent love life. Let's just ponder over the act of falling in love. From what I have observed through several tv shows or even movies, I gather that well..not everyone is so lucky to have fallen in love at first sight. It takes time, and maybe it will even take boyfriend after boyfriend or girlfriend after girlfriend before reality smacks your face and you end up with your very first boyfriend (gasp!). What a truly merry go round. Hey, it happens. Because we make mistakes and we are too blind to notice how someone can truly bring you happiness by their sheer volumes of care and concern for you. In the midst of crisis, a ray of light shines through...
