By all accounts, today was wonderful, more so than the mundane days of my life.

Basically, I worked hard and played hard. Took time to be productive and invested time to bond with people.

Lovely! Have you drunk it yet?

Yucks. No wonder you stack sats hard

Happiness Journal 4/6/25

Today’s schedule more than proves that my life is no longer my own. From having to take my daughter for her polyclinic appointment and collecting my farewell gift from a colleague in the morning to choosing colours at the Benjamin Moore showroom for my soon-to-be newly-minted flat in the afternoon, I oscillated from one place to another, letting time that was never really my own slip out of my loose grip on a life that seemed way too packed.

In between all these engagements, though, I found myself at a spacious coffee shop at Midview City. I sipped my mineral water in front of a Thai stall blasting Thai tunes. The coffee shop was elongated and spacious and kinda dark, evoking vibes reminiscent of a rural town in Malaysia. For a while, I willed myself to believe that I was reverting to my carefree self, travelling to my heart’s content in Southeast Asia.

I faced a lot of existential angst when I was in my 20s. I think getting past that helped me avoid a midlife crisis these days

Let’s hope the education system doesn’t squeeze his curiosity out of him haha

Omg

Hopefully it will take him ages to learn the f word, but knowing kids these days…

He has learnt “Shut Up” from school 😱

I will try this answer next time now that he is fascinated with Minecraft

Ya I think the inconsequential conversations are what we remember most

How old is she now?

It’s great. Blog consistently and it can become part of your legacy

I’m just impressed that your daughter understands and uses the concept of labour exploitation
