Another 搬砖人的一天

Dear Bloggie,

Woke up with a headache. 

But have to head into office today, have to settle an event for the week of 10 March. 

Busy days ahead.. today's target is 3pm!

Still have leave to clear before end March. Thinking if i should do the C2C, or even partial C2C, again. 

Anyway.. hope i survive the work day!

哈哈哈哈.. 自己给自己喊话.

Back on the roll

Dear Bloggie, 

I spent the last 2 days reading through pages n pages of my own history. I created this journal with the intention to look back at my life, and I am glad I did it. The things that matters to me back then appear so insignificant, some people around me might no longer be around. And the photos, hahaha.. I am such a young little thing back then! 

Writing a journal is addicting. I am working from home today as I stayed up late for the last couple days to rush out some stuff for my Boss. But glad it all went well in the end (reads: visa approved). Got another event to plan thats happening in 2 weeks with many Leaders flying in. A little stress - as its happening in 2 weeks and I have not even ink the venue contract. 

 Anyway.. I digress. 

Reading my old posts, stirs up emotions from the past. I used to be Xin, I used to be me. I love hanging out with my Friends, I love clubbing, the mahjong and the ktv. I love travelling and baking/ cooking and reading. 

But now.. life happens. Adulting happened. 

With all the added responsibilities, at work and at home, so many things have to be placed at the back-burner. Am I happy - yes and no? I love my babies and the financial freedom, but yet at the same time I am locked in a cell with my hands tied. 

I guess its the same for everyone. We had joy and fun in our twenties, and we are now grounded with work and family.

Many many years later..

 Its 23 Feb, 2025.

I suddenly remember this little space of mine.. keyed in the add and surprise! This space is still around.. clicked on some of the older post and was reminiscing the past, and Qian texted me at that very same moment.. I told her i was reading my old blog and happened to chance on the bit where i recorded the day she got her class 3 license. She commented that i always have the habit of recording my daily life and suggest i do it again. Yeps.. i should, why not? So here i am, many moons later.. back to my Cottage by the river. 

I hope noone is reading this.. i should figure out how to make this a private domain. 

But anyway.. Its a sunday, its a hectic day as i go through my weekend chores and suddenly got caught up with some urgent matters at work (reads: Honduras visa). Read through more old posts.. and realised that the matters that matter and affected me so much previously are all so insignificant now. And oh.. my english seriously sucks. Not that its good now, but my english is omg cringey back then. *argh* As i took a trip down memory lane.. i also took time to reflect. What could have been done differently and why was i so immature. But well, i guess all these leads to ME now. Every bit of experience forms a part of me. 

Probably at the mid-life crisis stage now, hah. Everyday is a busy day, rushing around for work, for kids.. but quiet times like this, i'll look back and think.. what have i accomplish today? 

Okay, enough ranting for the day.. 

I still find joy reading back the old posts.. lets see if i'll continue updating this space, where i can read back again, many many years later. :)
