staycation :)

I never knew the day will come where it dawned on me that staying back in Singapore instead of travelling out could be so much fun.

Last year I did 6 trips overseas altogether, for work and pleasure.

This year, I did none. ZERO. Unbelieveable.

I took a couple of long leaves to just relax, and chill. And I returned back to work fully rejuvenised, with no jet lag, dirty laundries to clear whatsoever.

Being with the right company counts of course :)

I didn't want to travel without my dear by my side, without him sharing the sights, sounds and local tastes. So the only way to do so, will be to 'travel' locally.

I did many things that I wanted to eat, do and explore but didn't have time to do.

For the first time, I:

1. Tried Cafe Iguana's food (heard rave reviews about it from bestie but didn't get to try)
2. Played LAN games.. hahaha
3. Visited the Botanical Gardens... lovely experience :)
4. Watched 1 and 1/4 movie ;)
5. Picnic-ed at Sentosa and watched Sound of the Seas
6. Had a home movie marathon (3 movies at one go)

And after a very VERY long time (7 years to be precise), I went back to my ala-mater Singapore Poly Foodcourt 6 to eat! Miss the food there like crazy!!! Almost was too lazy to go because it was a rainy Friday morning, but Mau asked me to else I wouldn't know when I'll have the chance again... so true, hahaha

All these activities would not be as memorable without Maurice by my side :)

With the right companion, no adventure is ever too small.

xoxo,
Mabel

Musings of the day

This morning I was going through my insta stories and saw Tony Gaskins (I love this guy) ask me a question session. It was so informative, and an eye opener to see so many people airing their relationship issues. It put a lot of things into perspective, especially seeing things from a 3rd party POV. Seeing what sort of advice all of them are seeking, the answer is already very glaring, but they are blinded by it and chose to ignore it. The same happened for me. The answer was glaring when I expressed my feelings a few months back, but I chose to hold on. Well, no more. When I finally opened my eyes and see things as what it is, I felt, free. Free from my own demons, own insecurities. And I felt ready to move on and focus on something else. What I have learnt is that true love never leaves you doubts and sadness. I have to learn to think for myself. On that note, I have decided to take a break from my DB team. Reason is very simple. It is a toxic relationship, one that limits my grow...

Lemons

Life have been handling me lemons recently and I find it very hard to make lemonades out of it. Why am I feeling even more lonely now than ever </3

Don't follow blindly, create your own!

Let me be honest here. Ever since coming out on my own, I have been struggling with finding a routine that I can adhere to. I am constantly stressing out, thinking I am not doing enough as a wannabe entrepreneur.  I always read articles about top CEOs starting their day early, catching only 4-5 hours of sleep a day, planning their day ahead with a routine and sticking to the routine. They are always on the go, multi-tasking all the time. Over time, I've come to realise, that is not for me. Sticking to a routine made me stressed out over unnecessary things, made me frustrated thinking I am not doing enough.  The truth is, we are all different, and we work different. I like to procrastinate if I am given a long timeline. I like to be in a pressure cooker environment where I am swarmed with deadlines, and that is also when I perform best, with sudden spurts of energy to get things done. But once that energy is released, I need time to space out again. Yes I agree tha...
