Hermit.

Been staying home for the last 3 to 4 weeks. Cut down a lot on my social activities during the weekdays and no partying!! I am amazed!

Well, was initially stuck at home cos of all the illnesses I was down with. But as I stayed home more, I realised that it was actually quite comfortable to just stay home and have some personal time. No need to rush off after work to meet friends, then head home late at night feeling tired and by the time I shower, it is almost time for bed.

I get to do things I want, like watching tv, spending time with the family + Berry, etc. It kinda feels great! Maybe I just need to regain the balance in my life, take a break from the previously hectic schedule which left me little time for myself. Or maybe like my friend says, I am either trying to become a hermit or I am going through a mid-life crisis. *rolls eyes* But then again, if it was a mid-life crisis, I would probably be feeling miserable and lonely and sad. Guess not then. *hah*

Ah well, I don’t foresee myself keeping up with this lifestyle for a very long time. I tend to get bored once I have too much of 1 thing. So, let’s just see how long I can keep up with this “hermit” status.

Busy & SICK!!

It’s been 3 bad weeks! Was first down with a normal flu + cough + sore throat. And just when I thought I was recovering.. Cough got worse. Great.

To top it all off, was down with stomach flu since last Friday. Been in and out of the toilet a thousand times since Friday. Finally decided to head to the doctor’s on Sunday. Cost me $70+ and the doctor didn’t give me the right medicine for the stomach flu. He thought it was a simple case of diarrhea. Right.

Had to visit another doctor again on Tuesday to get the correct medicine. Bloody hell.

Still haven’t fully recovered, but it’s been getting better. Thankfully.

It’s been a busy 2 weeks for me too. Working on old and new projects. A million things on hand. Thankfully a client pushed back a deadline. Otherwise, I would be DEAD.

All in all, an eventful 3 weeks. I foresee things being this hectic for the next month till I finally say goodbye to this place. I can’t wait for my break!! Albeit a short one, but it will be good!!

New Goals before I hit the Big 3!

This is the year where I say goodbye to my 20s. Still about almost 10 months away but I am already starting to feel it with all my friends posting photos of their Big 3 birthday celebrations.

Am I looking forward to it? Well, both yes and no. Yes because it will be another phase of life, for me at least. No because of the obvious. No more considered ‘young’ and hence expected to do what’s “right”, blah blah.. Hope the next 10 years of my life will be better than the last 10 though.

Well, with 10 more months to the next phase of life, I guess I need to make some short term goals which I hope to achieve before I hit the big 3. So here goes:

  • Move on to the next step in my career – this I should be doing soon. Got a new job stint coming up in April.
  • Save some $$ – this I have been working on for the last few years but without much results. But it is time.
  • Bring Mum & Dad for a trip, all expenses paid by me – in the pipeline, planning to bring them to HK by October this year!
  • Party less and be a more responsible adult – Guess it’s time I cut down on my partying huh?

This list should last me for the next 10 months. Can’t think of anything else at the moment but I will probably add on to this list as I go along.

Good luck to me and hope I hit those goals ya!

Need to be a responsible adult!!

Ending post with Berry!

Upcoming trip to Taiwan!

Finally booked and settled my flight + lodging for Taiwan in March!! I can’t wait! It’s been 3 to 4 years since I went there? I miss the place so much and have been ranting about going back there for the longest time!

Found the perfect opportunity to go! A week’s break + 2 friends who wanted to go too. So we hurriedly settled everything within a week! Hurray!

So many things to see, so many things to buy. It will probably be another crazy shopping trip again this time round! With more days and lesser people. I foresee a CRAZY out-of-control shopping spreeeeee! Seriously can’t wait!

This time round we’ll be heading to Kaoshiung > Taichung > Taipei for 9 days! Need to start saving up and cutting back on my food intake to prepare for the shopping + overeating there. The last time I went, spent about $2k on shopping and gained 3kg over 8 days? It was BAD.

Anyway… Countdown starts today! 48 days to go!

New Craze!!

Got infected by some ex-colleagues who have been super into nail polishes. They’ve been posting pictures of their newly painted nails for the longest time ever and I have never thought I would be infected.

I was always too lazy and I was never able to paint my nails properly without making a huge mess. Bought a batch of nail polishes from one of them who was clearing her haul (she has about 400+ bottles of nail polishes?) and got a little addicted.

Started painting my own nails at times and kinda found it fun. There was also a sense of satisfaction when they turned out fine and un-messy. Heh..

Ordered my 2nd batch of 2nd-hand nail polishes from her earlier this week and placed another order for brand new ones online too! Hope they arrive SOOON!!

Didn’t take a photo of my own painted nails cos I forgot. But here’s a batch from my most recent manicure. Love the purple!!

Didn’t take note of the colours used but the hands were from Orly and the toes were from China Glaze or OPI.

Anyway, can’t wait for my new hoots to arrive and start paintinggggg!!! Poisoned.

Been sick!

Been really unlucky since last week. Was first down with fever and sore throat, which later expanded to running nose + cough.

And got infected with sore eyes by the uncle over the weekend over a game of mahjong. Nice. Woke up Sunday morning with ‘sticky stuff’ all over my eye. Had to peel off the stuff. *yuck*

I need to stop falling sick!! *gosh*

Well, but good side of being on mc for today was that I managed to get a few things accomplished. Brought the Berry to the vet for his annual vaccine and had my manicure + pedicure done! Hurray!!

On a side note, vet said Berry’s about 6 years old now. When he reaches 8, he will be considered a senior already. And will need to plan for annual blood tests, etc to check for serious problems. Mentioned that cats are prone to kidney problems and if discovered early, can prolong their lives.

I never dared to imagine the day Berry leaves us. I hope that day doesn’t come any time soon. *cry*

Ending the post with a photo of Berry! It’s been awhile since I did. *heh*
