{MDS top, H&M skirt, Michael Kors bag, Christian Louboutin pumps} One of the things I’ve noticed about myself (yes, I like to introspect. a lot.) is how I have become less and less brave. I used to be fearless. I wasn’t afraid of risks, making big decisions wasn’t as overwhelming, and I faced conflicts head on. Along the way, I let other…
COMING HOME AGAIN
Arriving home after our 3 week vacation was unsettling for me. My room didn’t feel like mine. I felt like I was in someone else’s abode. It didn’t feel like my refuge. Yeah, I grew up in this room, but it doesn’t help that there have been changes to it when I left for Singapore and…
THE SEARCH FOR SOMETHING MORE
Sometimes I wonder if I’m asking too much out of life. What if things are already as good as it gets and I keep pushing to forego it in the hopes of something better? What if along the way, I lose it? What if further down the road, I end up regretting decisions I’ve made?…
THE BEST OF ME
Here’s a confession, I sometimes wonder if this is it. Or accurately, what if that was it. Was that it?! I look back on the previous years, see my huge ass smile in Timehop (or Facebook memories) and worry that I’ve already lived the best years of my life. Nothing wrong with cherishing the past,…
YOU CAN’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT
♬ You can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find you get what you need. – The Rolling Stones ♬ There are times when the things we want aren’t meant for us. Sometimes the competitor prepared harder and played smarter. Sometimes our expectations were too high. Sometimes our…
MY TRAVEL FEELS
Half-way into my Japan trip, it hit me, the reason I love to travel. Travel reminds me of MORE. Meeting new people and hearing their stories, experiencing cooler climates and feeling more “me” than the water downed version that I’ve been portraying, and just effin’ living instead of going through the motions is a welcome nudge to remind me not to…
ONWARD MARCH
I’ve been embarking on a new role which at times I find to be very uncomfortable. Don’t get me wrong, it doesn’t involve physical pain or anything, it’s just that sometimes my fear of rejection (and failure and imperfection) psychologically handicaps me. Sometimes I spend so long trying to make sure I compose a perfect…
BEFORE THE GRIND
Sharing 15 Work Wisdoms (aka: What I’ve learned so far!) before you start the Monday grind. 😉 1.You can try to please everybody. Just know that it’s impossible. 2. You are bound to offend someone, somewhere. The sooner you accept this, the pressure to be perfect will be lifted off your shoulder. 3.If you are gonna…
BETWEEN THE MOON AND NEW YORK CITY
I should be sleeping. But somehow I feel that if I sleep, I’ll lose momentum (of what exactly, I don’t know) or that I’m wasting daylight (nightlight). I’m being haunted yet again by the desire to do so many things. I’m considering continuing my French classes but if I go to my previous school, I’ll…
AT THE TOP WITH THE EMPIRE STATE
Some people do things for recognition. Some do it for personal fulfilment. Some do it for money. Some do it to pursue passions. Some do it for all of the above. Whatever you do it for, do it well and whole-heartedly. Understand that sometimes the recognition you are looking for will not come from someone…
LAST POST AS A 26 YEAR OLD
Hiii! It’s my last few hours of being twenty-six and we know what that means, birthday post!!! Hehe! I’m currently in Hong Kong for work and this has been the most “adult” I’ve ever felt. Okay fine, this is also, as of writing, the oldest I’ve been – duh -, but yeah. A complete 180 from 4…
