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...

Oh my gosh... I realised I have been doing quite a fair bit of travelling this year alone. My aim was always to travel out of Singapore at least 3 times a year, and this year alone, I'm doing 2 years worth of travelling! I have been to Koh Samui, Koh Tao, Koh Pah Ngan as part of my Contiki trip, KL for company retreat, Taiwan for DB race and Sydney for work. All just in the first 7 months of this year... Upcoming trips I have planned are to Shanghai and Putra Jaya for DB races.. So all in, I'll be travelling a total of 6 times just this year alone. Think that means next year I can skip all my travels le... As if! =D All this travelling is tiring me out... Hahaha... Couldn't believe I will be saying this at all because travelling is one of my love... Heh. But then again, I will never say no to travelling lah... because it's always exciting exploring new places outside of Singapore :) I realise that when I'm overseas, I'm not that into all the touristy stuff...
