Writing a blog post is difficult because I don't know where or what to begin with haha~

Okay, let's start with hello. I think the frequency of my writing is now one post a month. But as promised, I won't stop writing and anyway, it really does help me to process things.

A while back, one of my idiotic friends exclaimed, "Omg. You still blog?! Omg!" And proceeds to read OUT LOUD one of my recent posts to everyone around. Really, idiotic friends I've got hahah.

I can't believe this bunch of siao friends and I completed the entire 36km route march from Jurong to Punggol two weekends ago!!! We were grunting in pain but carried on, one foot at a time until we reached our destination. I really am lucky to have this bunch of friends. I really am lucky :')))) THANK GOD FOR NTU WKWSCI. You were one of the best things that happened in my life.

Another thing just happened this week that made me feel lucky to be alive. It's not like it's momentous or anything - I simply fell sick with flu and cough. I didn't take MC and made it through one of the toughest days at work. My nose was dripping the entire day, it even dripped right on to the floor in front of one my interviewees and I had to apologise profusely lol. My body was aching, mind in disarray, throat in pain, and then it got me thinking - nothing can be worse than being ill. Truly nothing. I'm glad to simply be able to breathe properly. And to smell and taste food. How awful it was to not have been able to taste anything the last few days.

While still slightly sick, I met up with a friend I hadn't seen in ages (hello Kah Whai!!) and she asked me how's life. I gave a good think. Well, not really. I immediately replied, "just work lor" and after a little more probing, I said with the same level of enthusiasm, "yeah my life revolves around work". I thought about it, and damn, how sad that sounds yo. After my recent sick episode, I'm thinking yknow, my life needs a bit of jazzing up. Summer is coming, (although it's kinda summer all year round in Singapore) it's time I do something different and new. I've always had the occasional meetups with friends to do things like that big ass walk, and other fun stuff. But never really something consistent.

So hereon, I'mma inject a lil something into my life, especially since my work life is beginning to stabilise - completed one year of reporting, plus my timetable has become a little more predictable. I think I can step up. Maybe I'll start with a new hobby - a friend recently asked me out to boulder. Tried it once, thought it was fun, then fell sick when she asked me again, but I'll try to keep it consistent.

I know I shouldn't be talking about work, but a former colleague of mine recently chided me when I told her that I still feel too fresh and new in the job. That I still need time to adjust. But she looked at me and raised her voice, almost shouted at me "CAN YOU STOP SAYING YOU'RE NEW. You're not!!! You can do it!!!!!" I laughed. But deep down I knew she was right.

Can't believe I'm quoting an animation, but I'm quoting an animation because it's apt. The protagonist asked when will he ever be ready?

"It's a leap of faith. That's all it is. A leap of faith."

Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse. T'was an amazing movie I managed to catch on AppleTv last week. Can't wait to watch it over and over again.

So yes, all I need to do is take a leap of faith. That doesn't mean I'm not scared. I'm still scared. I still don't think I'm good enough - fast enough a thinker or analytical enough (important traits of a reporter) - but if I don't jump, I never will.

That's the same for many other things in life~

Alright, started the post with a hello, I'll end it with a see ya lata~~ update you guys on more stuff soon.
