Down with Fever | 17-19 March 2020

3 Days MC

So I was down with a fever like literally an hour and half before ending work last Monday. Ugh. Fortunately, there is a 24-hour clinic nearby my place so after confirming that I was really unwell, at around 5.30am the next day, I put on a mask and made my way to the clinic alone. Thankfully I was the only patient when I arrived so the visit was a fast one (but I kept sweating and I think I kinda scared the doctor. Oops).

Just drinking water hurts my throat.

After 3 days rest, I’m supposed to get back to work tomorrow. Hopefully all is well!

Talk Time With A’an: From Batam

Went to Batam for the first time in my life on 4th August 2019 with my sisters, mom, aunty, baby nephew, baby niece and cousin. It was a mini getaway – 2 days 1 night @ The BCC Hotel – and it was quite a pleasant experience. I did get to relax a bit, like soaking myself in a bathtub while listening to my Spotify playlist and played a few rounds of Uno and Stress before heading to bed.

Anyway, the vid is of my baby nephew, A’an, on our 2nd day at Batam – first one was during breakfast and the second one was during our hotel room checkout, at the lobby. At 2 years 2 months, A’an is already at that stage where he is always talking, be it to someone or to himself while he is playing. I find it very adorable, especially when he tries to repeat whatever right pronunciation I correct him with.

Short Vlog: We Went To IKEA

Wanted to remember this day as I strongly believe that memories with family are precious and a top priority for me. Would have typed it out but since I was already on camera earlier, thought I might as well give a life update via a short video.

There has been a major change/makeover in the company I am working for and to be brutally honest, I fucking hate it. There was a lot of inconsideration involved and it’s very upsetting, to me at least.

So yeah, maybe that’s why I value family time much more than I usually do these days – I really need the distraction.

Lets Play… 10 Questions

I’ll start:

1. Who was your first celebrity crush?
2. Do you think pizza is food?
3. What are your 3 must-haves to a family gathering/reunion?
4. Can you name all of Snow White’s 7 dwarves without cheating?
5. Do you like your hair long or short?
6. From the number 1 to 10, 10 being the highest score, rate how great you are at tying a knot with only your mouth.
7. What’s the first thing that came to your mind after reading this question?
8. Name one thing your eyes are known for.
9. Would you rather cry at every single insult thrown at you or get angry at anything anyone says for the rest of your life?
10. If you could be any song in this world, which song would you be and why?

Now you, yes the one reading this now, it’s up to you if you want to answer the questions in your blog post. I’ve decided to do this ‘cos I got bored and also because I’d like to know more about other people. It’s just for fun, so yeah.

Lemme know if you have 10 questions for me too. I’d be happy to answer them (:

Did you braid your hair yourself or do you have someone who do it for you?

How do you braid your hair on your own?

Won’t your arms get tired from tying your hair like that?

Styling My Bangs The Easiest Way

Just Stop

There are points in our lives when we get tired of anything/everything and we just want to move on with it without doing anything at all. Life is not easy – c’mon man, everyone knows that, but don’t let it lead you the wrong way. You have the right to make your own choice of what you think makes you happy even if you FEEL like it’s going to be a mistake.

It is okay.

However, you need to know your worth – if you KNOW it is a mistake and you still want to make the same choice because you think that is what makes you happy… just stop. You are only hurting yourself,

and THAT is not okay.

I Hope You Know

I will keep it short and simple:

I hope you know that it really breaks my heart to tell you what I am about to tell you. First of all, I’m grateful for EVERYTHING that you have done. You have a different way of showing affection but at the end of the day we all know it is because you care.

Secondly, I don’t care whatever it is that you want to believe but what I believe in is important to me – and that is you are a BEAUTIFUL person inside and out. You are funny, witty, sincere… oh my, I cannot continue. The thought of never being able to see that pretty dimple on your face much longer saddens me, and I don’t like that.

Last and definitely not the least, I love you… with all my heart. I know I have never said those words to you but I know you know that I do.

Again, thank you so much for everything.
