Planted self down with a cuppa hot chocolate for some much needed, well deserved quiet time at the library. Borrowed yet another book and am so excited about reading. One is always excited, but is just extra stoked at the moment. On the third book of the year and hopefully will keep this up.
Again, again one hasn’t been writing. Last week has seen one being off from work for three days, and also missing from the final session of the CCA. To be honest, one wasn’t thinking well more so than one wasn’t feeling well. They say it comes in waves and last week was one of those times. Had dinner with E + S on Friday and Sunday and that helped.
Yesterday night was spent watching Dune with the work people before parking self at the airport. Actually mostly a positive time with Mum although things were running through one’s head. Crashed for three hours before picking self up and out to the library. This week also had oneself making two trips to the Science Centre for a field trip plus a long night of conference at work.

This feeling right now isn’t probably sluggishness entirely , or maybe it is but one is sure one is also still exhausted from the night cycling episode on Friday night coupled with the week of work. But if one doesn’t up and head out right now, one might just nap and be on the bed for the rest of the day.
Speaking of night cycling, we were blessed with the best weather and winds out on Friday night. Started with supper before making our way to Jewel for a rest pit stop for the brother but more like a whisper k-session for A and oneself as we sang to the LED lights in an artificial forest before kicking off the cycling stint at about three in the early morning. Met with a mini hurdle when we realised we were given the wrong password to our lock but ironed that out and off we went to ECP. Again, took a very long break by the jetty in attempts to wait for the sunrise but also only then realised that we were three hours away before the sun came up and so we continued about our way to the Flyer and caught the sunrise along the way. Some stretches felt extra long this time. Turns out we only spent an accumulated two hours-ish of cycling and covered twenty-two kilometres. Concluded with some toasts for breakfast and we were officially wiped out and delirious.
One got home at about ten in the morning and knocked out till 6-ish in the evening. Woke up and ate for a but before sleeping again just before midnight and woke up at about 10-ish in the morning, which takes us back to now. Still on the bed.

Now where do we begin again?
Turned up on Thursday in a dress-up that lasted until just after work because one had enough of the perspiration the entire day. Parked self at base camp for the evening.
A half-day of work at Friday ended with going to the library to pick J up before we hauled meals at JE and settled for a night of games with JR.
Saturday was spent at Suntec to check out some stuff L was interested in before planting ourselves down for coffee. Got stuck in a massive crowd but had a great day.
Started the day with brunch at a new cafe with L before making our way to WCP to see the sunset and then settling at the usual coffee place for a slice of cheesecake, two cups of California Sunrise and some quiet down time. Continued Doctor Slump in bed once one got home and was crying at three different points in the second episode.
It’s Monday and yet still a public holiday as this is written and one is spending the afternoon at the library as one usually does.
Contemplating on getting Travel Rummi!!

So it’s Tuesday night and one took CCA without JR today after he texted at half past two in the morning, to say that he’s been throwing up and will be supposedly gone for the next three days as well. A just showed up and helped throughout the whole hour without one asking for help, sigh. People are nice.
One hasn’t been sleeping well during the weekend or in the last two days. Hopefully this phase gets over soon.
Still a struggle coping with alright days.
Ah! And tickets to Bali has also been booked earlier today.

Have skipped writing for two weeks +++ 😓
Where do we even begin? The cough has finally, finally dissipated significantly after one finally went to see the doc on Jan 23rd, although it was on and off in the last two weeks.
The board games night took place.
Tickets to HCMC in Summer have been booked last night.
Sleep troubles are back on some nights.
What else what else.
Had some good green chilli chicken rice on a Monday.

Already at Bugis, and twenty minutes away from when the talk begins but considering bailing because one feels like one needs quiet time, but essentially more time to have coffee.
Let’s now start with Tuesday. Because one turned in before 7pm the day before but also stirred awake at about midnight and refused to move, one stayed like that till it was time to get up. Did not feel too good in the morning but by the end of work, things felt much better thanks to work (as usual). CCA went about smoothly and we felt pretty productive by the end after the usual debrief after which JR shared his new year goals.
Wednesday kicked off with the morning at the staff room, printing birthday cupcakes for the new learners and then JR coming to nap but failed because Ms L came talking about how long it took to get to school. Almost everyone was late because of the rain. Left work with S together and decided to have pasta and coffee for dinner and cream puffs! S is feeling so fascinated by how well it’s still daylight by the time we were done, just as how one was in the early days.
One must say that one is quite loving the temperature and then the weather.
S joined in for lunch downstairs on Thursday and finally met the people. Left work with Jen (and JR) at the end of the day and met L in the west for dinner and coffee, which is quite needed. Made one’s way to Plan B (need a name for thissss) and settled for the night. Good thing it wasn’t freezing because one definitely did not bring a sweater or anything. Managed to work on Morning Messages for the following week.
And finally Friday, one got to work by 6:40 in the morning, which is now the new record. Started at the library to scan out books before heading down to print stuff before parking self on the couch to read a little. Loving the dark and quiet in the morning 😌 Had to get coffee by 10-ish am, because one hadn’t had any and one was also so close to falling asleep at the assembly. Day went by pretty quick. Buses were late as usual and then we went up to L7 to learn some padlet stuff, which JR said we would incorporate into our CCA. And then off we went to the library to scan out the following week’s books. Reported at the sick bay to catch up with C at the end of the day, she said she keeps a portion of the christmas penguin wrappi paper in her journal, she’s hilarious.
Parked self at SJ’s place and fell asleep by 7pm and got up again at half past nine. Talked the night and turned on the projector at midnight to watch some coffee clips and then did a quiz (of course). Woke up later than planned! SJ was talking about she always sleeps well and sleeps in late when one is over haaaaa. Left at about half past twelve at noon and that brings us here now to this hot spanish latte and a cheese pretzel 😌
(Note: B has been video-calling almost everyday 😂)

Missed out on writing about last Friday when one went back to school for S’ first day but ☝🏼will still write about it now.
Was nodding off on the train back because one didn’t get any sleep after trying for two hours and so one got up and finished watching the Survivor finale instead in the wee hours. Kicked off the morning with a good ol’ breakfast at Toast Box which ended with a broken saucer and cup when we were returning them. Felt strange having a friend to walk with to school, what more at Aljunied. Dropped S off at Reception and assumed unofficial duties of being a Facilities member and helped move Little Wandle stuff and K walked in right at that moment. Managed to catch up with K for a bit and parked self at the library (of course) until one took S on a walk during lunch and then replanted self at the library afterwards. As soon as S was done with her IT induction, we decided to hit the cafe at the condo next door (!) which was pretty chill and cosy! Funny how it took oneself four years of talking about it before actually checking it out.
So one stayed in on both Saturday and Sunday despite plans to go out but the body seems to want the bed. It’s Sunday as this is being noted at almost five in the afternoon and it has been raining all day since last night and forecast says it’ll stay rainy till March.
Work kicks off all over again tomorrow and highly likely one would not be able to sleep tonight, having woken up late today but also because it’s a Sunday night.

Day 20: So this is generally how the break went. One was meeting people back-to-back and going out almost every single day for the first two weeks and then in this last week, one barely went out and have resorted to turning in between five and six in the morning and waking up in the afternoons after the longest sleeps ever. Pro: The sleep gotten on these said afternoons were actually decent. Could this staying in be a result of too much peopling from the weeks before? Maybe. Do we want to continue doing breaks like this? Maybe, since we get to achieve both bests.
One thing to note is that, in this last week of staying in, inertia is starting to build again so that’s quite dangerous.
As this is written, one is about to park self at base camp in a while. And tomorrow, one is actually heading back to school during the break for a change and perhaps do a little tidying since it’s also S’ first day.

Resisting getting food a week before the period begins is actually hard, even for me-

Been in and out of what feels like a low-grade feverish state in the last four days at least. Stayed in on NYE and NYD and finally went out today on the second day of the year rightfully, because as we have long established before, we cannot stay in too long. Bailed on Pilates in the morning because the body just wasn’t feeling it. Headed out at four in the afternoon, thinking of taking a walk and watching the sunset but there was a chance of rain and so one went to park self in the library instead.
Excited to watch Survivor tonight!

Got reminded of a conversation with a friend about how there was no Secret Santa nor Letters to Santa this year and so perhaps one could consider Secret Valentine instead-
Was also reading past posts of 2022 as one does and saw that one wrote, “Like the recap of 2021, one is still very much into true crime, eating is still a struggle (so is keeping hydrated), sleep can still be erratic and work is still tiring. But here's to doing good, and being better next year because surely some things can change.”.
One could still say the same about 2023, except work didn’t feel as tiring now. One’s 2022 self recounted that year to be the most tearful yet, but 2023 can now rival that.

Day 16: Which also means only a full week left till school reopens! Friday was spent with L and coffee and we settled stuff on respective devices but also realised how we got better at having difficult conversations now, than ever.
Spent three hours K-ing with I yesterday. Had such throwback moments when she pulled up Indo songs that she (and we) used to love as a kid 😭 Made our way to Clementi on a rainy evening for a change and had a really satisfying Mala meal (which one imagines one would seek more often). Headed back instead of sleeping over. Had chips and Mala and the cough is still the same, if not less apparently.
It’s new year’s eve and about half past nine. About to watch an online movie with the usual two for a change. (edit: … which is about to be postponed or called off at the moment)

Day 13: One has actually lost count of the days for a bit. Sleep schedule has been in the ruins. Flare-ups are back but thanks to Elomet, we are coping. Missed writing about yesterday which kicked off with a morning at Birds Paradise with C, lunch and then watched a movie with J and JR at Cineleisure after which we (they) sat for some supper. Thank goodness it was just light drizzle throughout the walk around the Paradise and the thunderstorm only started after. Also woke up with a proper stye on the right eyelid in the morning.
The day before that, one attended a Pilates class for the first time in a long time (1.5 years) with E. Thankfully had a great instructor and then we went to walk before settling down for an hour of pottery!
Today saw oneself having brunch with SC and then some quiet time at the library. Have been coughing in the past few days and only decided to mask up today. Somehow the cough accelerated once one is masked up 🙄

Day 9: A Sunday, and also Christmas eve. One started the day a little later and went out at about two in the afternoon to meet SJ and check out the Play With Me? exhibition at Peace Centre. And then we walked over (with jelly legs) to have fries, of course and a sit down. Recorded a short video to send to our old kids!

Day 8: Bailed on the workshop thingy at PRL in the morning because one woke up with a headache (that’s been a frequent visitor these days hmm) but took oneself out to Public Garden to get inspired (which one definitely did) although one’s head is now buzzing from the aftermath of being in crowds and clocking in steps non-stop for the last three hours. Found inspiration in illustration pieces from a particular booth and had trouble with payment and so one walked a thousand more steps in search of an ATM machine and traced one’s path back to the booth to find that the person really kept all of one’s picks an hour later and cut a dollar off 🥺
About to go plant self at a cafe for some deserved quiet time and parallel company in the form of L and one could really use some cheesecake right now-
(edit: we went for a needed nourishing meal of fish noodles instead and then some coffee. The buzzing was gone by the end of the night, and calmness was restored.)

Day 6: It’s 5 in the afternoon, one is finally back in the library after a long while for some quiet time. Spent a good two hours earlier at J’s place and had a good laugh with B, Julin and B’s Mimi after trying to get over a stomachache in the morning (stomachache for three days straight actually). The highlight of this bit of the day has got to be one falling off the couch! Will park self at base camp later this evening!
Spent the morning yesterday having breakfast at Oriental Kopi and waited in line after seeing the queue on previous days. A good meal! Went back to check out and then out again before crossing over to SG in the evening-
