21th Mar 2019: New iPhone XR for Meanson

By Posted on
Lenson adjusted the alarm on his phone.
I laid on his arm, head resting against his chest.

Him: Don't look, the screen is bright.
Me: But you are brighter.
Us: Wooooooo smooth.

Throughout the months, I am always reminded of how he bought me the new phone I always wanted -- A phone with bigger screen, and in red. And we're both seasoned Apple users so I really wasn't looking at any other brands anymore.

I enjoy using both Apple and Android by the way. Just prefer Apple more, simply because the phone lasts longer without lagging, and I am more comfortable with the OS.

Between fashion and gadgets, I might just choose gadgets every single time. All these devices fascinates me. From the aesthetic, to the interface and user experience.

The other day, we went to Orchard and walked by Apple. We went in and as usual, felt around the few main products that we like. Namely, the iPhones (XR, XS, XS Max), and the iPads (different sizing of the newest model).

How awesome it would be, if we could be so wealthy that the price of all these gadgets don't deter us. Recently, I have been more interested in the iPad. There's so much I can do with it. Learning piano (okay but Lenson's house already has a piano), doing art (I DO HAVE INTEREST IN ART OKAY, even though I suck at it). But of course, my interest of learning all these things only limits to taking them up leisurely, not professionally.

Yesterday after work, Lenson, Lotti and I went to Orchard. Lenson decided to get a new phone for himself instead of waiting till May! Yay!

He chose BLACK. Of all other fancier colours that were unique. But okay, I do have to admit that Black is darn cool because it makes the phone look sleek and the black is super black.

I have been feeling bad the past few months every time he said that his phone was lagging. I could tell that he is proud he made good use of his phone but at the same time, I wish I could instantly give him something better.

But that's just Meanson. Who is not so mean after all, especially to me. How did I got so lucky?

He finished adjusting the alarm and put down his phone.
He started shifting the blanket trying to tuck both of us into bed.

Him: Take more blanket if you need.
Me: Don't want lah, you don't need meh? Later cold.
Him: Won't cold one.
Me: ...
Him: You know why? Cuz you're hot.
Us: Wooooooo smooth.

06th Jan 2021: I Miss Dating

By Posted on
I miss the feeling of dating. As life becomes more overwhelmed with work and other commitments, the sparks of a relationship and the priority of it kinda gave way. I miss the late night dates. I miss the unexpected and playful kisses and touches. I miss the flirting on texts.

26th May 2022: Oh How the Flames Have Turned

By Posted on
Things are not getting better at all. I feel that I am losing grip of my life, like a puppet just being string along daily, by everyone and everything. I feel like a good for nothing who can do nothing right. Not even in things that I am interested in. Heck, I don’t even think I am getting the basics right, like breathing and even the use of vocal cords to talk or sing. At this point of time, I’m questioning why am I even on Earth and whether there’s any purpose for me to live on for. Practically speaking, I am just a waste of Earth’s resources because I am a good-for-nothing.  There was a point of time in life when I felt genuinely happy and felt contented. Now, I feel there’s no substance to my life — empty and just unhappy. Happiness seem unfamiliar, as though it’s a myth. I don’t know who I was, who I am. I don’t know what I wanna be. Dodo asked what do I wanna achieve, and the only thing I want to be now is happy. Len said I used to be cheerful and kind. Sweets said she saw me...

16th Sep 2019: My First Ever Resignation Letter

By Posted on

Not much explanation is needed for the content of this post. After struggling for 9 months, yes, I have submitted the letter. The letter was first drafted last year, after I got to know of the promotion and pay raise that I did not have. Then subsequently revised a few more times to dampen the angst and steer it towards a more professional tone. Despite preparing for this moment for months, it was still a tough decision to make even until the point where I hit "Enter" to send it out. What am I going to do after submitting this letter? Will I be able to deal with the uncertainties. Where am I going to head to after my last day of work? Can I handle what is about to come? Amidst these myriads of thoughts, I still come to the same conclusion that this wasn't a rash decision and it was a careful choice that I have decided on albeit not the smartest one that I could have made. Between money and sanity, I chose the latter. Together with my dignity.
