received this out of the blue this evening and was suuuuper happy so it deserves a selfie the most beautifuuuul bouquet ever :') u know who you are, thank qqqq

I've been away for so long. I wanted to do a "three things i learnt after working for three years" post, but it's stuck. Promise I'll get right back to it!!

I must say I've been occupied by a lotta things... and people hee hee.

Haven't been insta-storying much either, something I used to do pretty religiously for the funsies. It's quite nice la to not always have to post all the time. I enjoyed doing it, but I realise it also takes up time (and phone battery hahah).

It's also hard to find time to sit down and blog. It's actually 1:50am and I have energy right now cuz it's my off day....

... and I've some reserves because I'm already looking forward to MY VACATION REAL SOON OH MY MAMA I'M SO EXCITED.

Remember Germany?? YAAAASSSS, it's coming. I'm coming for you Cologne, Bremen, Hamburg, AND BERLINNN. Can't wait to catch up with so many of my friends, and also catch a breather. Been starting to lose motivation at work as well. So thank goodness I'm leaving soon :')

And I can't wait to visit Dom's grave. It will be the ultimate, ultimate closure for me. To finally see him, albeit not in person but the closest I can get to feel his presence again. I think about him every now and then - when I go through hard times... but it's his cheeky side that I think about the most :-)

It's also a good time to go before the General Elections come along. They just announced that the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee has been formed - so a couple months more or so and it's game time.

The GE - that's one of the reason's why I joined CNA. I wanted in on the action. Back when I first entered the company, I remember telling a friend, who still remembers what I said, that the one thing I wanted to achieve during my time as a reporter was be able to report on the GE. I'm sure it'll be an electrifying experience, something to remember.

Anywho, sorry for the lack of updates. But I'm here to say that my life has been pretty good so far. Maybe I'm just in a really good mood now hahahh. Oh, my family went through a huge bump last month though. Thank goodness I had my friends to lean on when my mind was in disarray. Can't wait for our family trip to Japan in Oct so we can have some good ol' family bonding time.

Speaking of family~

Zelda Tan is growing up well Monthly niece update #proudaunt HAHAH

Arrrghhh she's the cutest ainnit?
But again, I don't wanna own one - too much work. I just wanna play wahahah.

I hope life's lookin up for you wherever you are.
We're nearing the end of 2019 - do you remember what your new year's resolution was?
Mine was to remind myself to be mindful and to live in the moment. I still try to practise that every day. I fail at times, but the idea is to keep going~

and even if you feel like you're not in a good place at the moment,

i hope you know things will get better and look better it always does~

p/s just as I was about to finish writing this post, Dom's friend replied to my email saying it's the perfect time to take me to dom's grave because he's got parental leave!! he even had pictures attached of his baby - a little girl :')))) he told me earlier this year that his wife was expecting and i was so happy for him. so nice to see pics of his lil angel!! let me remind you, i've never met dom's friend before hahah

what a wonderful world.
