If you ask me what I want now, the answer will be ‘Sleep’. For as long as I want, starting and ending at whatever time I please. Think I need a life coach or something… I can’t seem to even perform the basic task of sleeping properly.

you need to sleep

It’s not even insomnia anymore because I’m extra tired these days (no idea why since my stress level is currently minimal) so I fall asleep very quickly. Ermmm before 3am which is a huge improvement.

Problem is now I can’t bloody wake up on time for my course?! It’s Monday to Friday, 10am to 5pm, at my workplace. I am basically exempted from regular work for a month… Been late 2 out of 4 days -_- which is terrible because I think punctuality is a sign of courtesy.

I keep waking up, think it’s still early and try to get a few more minutes of sleep… except that I fail to wake up again. When I do, it’s with shock upon seeing the time and a mad rush. Ugh hate missing the start of the class and walking in when someone is talking halfway.

I am rarely late for work at 9.30am so I don’t know what the hell is up with me. Feel like I can’t survive the day without caffeine so I keep downing coffee the whole day too.

Other than that, this week has actually been quite good. Won’t say I’m feeling over-the-moon but I’m not down-in-the-dumps too. Monday was tiring because I went running after work then went to stock up on pet food, Tuesday was so perf I can’t even, ate and ate and ate lots of good food on Wednesday.

Went to the gym yesterday (Thursday) with CK and Jeremy who made me laugh so hard that I was rolling about on the floor. Well I was trying to stretch and plank… but all the laughing burned calories too. I think they were quite disappointed cos they wanted to see Birdman but he wasn’t around HAHA.

Damn weird ok cos I bumped into Birdman on Wednesday while leaving the building and he did his usual thing. Went something like that after all the ‘hi’s and all:

BM: Wa you look good! See, told you that you are the star. And you look slim compared to last year.

Me: No la, is my jacket nice (plus I was in black which is flattering).

BM: No I’m a guy so I can tell. Men and women see different things. You look good… keep it up!

Me: Hahahaha thanks.

BM: Remember, exercise, eat healthy… and sleep! Sleep is very important.

Me: Try…….. I will try.

Was wearing this that day. I bought the jacket from KL for only S$10. It makes any outfit smart-looking. I’m budget from head to toe. Most expensive item is the bag which was S$18 from Batam. Woman at Northpoint once tried to sell me the exact same thing for $40 (or more?) but thank goodness I passed!

Trust me… I did not lose weight as much as I wish I did. No one knows myself better than… myself. I gained more than 2kg in HK and I can feel flab all over me from stress-eating.

Quite obsessed with the gym nowadays. I will even suddenly think about it while sitting in class. Love the feeling of sweating like mad and the sense of accomplishment afterwards.

Sweaty me on Monday… can’t believe the week is nearly over. Plenty to look forward to but first I need to sleep. I’m determined to not just be on time but be early later ok?!

By the time you read this, I’d be in Hong Kong 😀
(post written on Friday, 6 March, 9.20pm).

I know, I know… super sudden and last minute just like New Zealand especially since I only just went HK last November. But it’s another opportunity too good to pass up and there’s free lodging at a hotel. It’s a holiday out of my own expenses la okay, you think every month got sponsored trip meh?!

Work has been so cray cray this week that I did nothing / went nowhere / saw no friends except work on robot mode. But it’s the only thing I feel efficient at and can focus on properly these days.

At least I love my job. Team-bonding day at Labrador Park today with other departments. Wanted to say I woke up way too early for this but then I realised I didn’t even sleep… again. I’m gonna so regret my lifestyle when I’m 30 and look 60 sigh.

Feeling very irresponsible lately because I keep leaving tasks till the very last minute then realising I have no time when I finally want to do it. Even stuff like cleaning my hamsters’ cages. Or how I left today’s event early before even eating the catered dinner so that I could go home and pack my luggage.

Hating myself for how long I took to finish my Auckland article and even more so because I’m not exactly satisfied with the way it turned out. Ugh… I disappoint myself.

Feeling very messed up. Not very myself recently I guess thanks to more stress and insecurities and whatever else than usual.

Hopefully all the shopping and good food in Hong Kong will do me good. It’s one of the many crazy and out-of-nowhere surprises that Life has sprung on me this year so I’m gonna make the best out of it.

And if you are stuck in Singapore, don’t worry! Some retail therapy will do the trick. Be sure to check out the wide range of women’s wallets on Zalora! So many pretty items that left me spoilt for choice:
