This week went by in a fog! For some reason I was unwilling to do anything or be productive. I just went through the motions the whole week and poof, it’s a new week today.

We start the new week with a public holiday because Sunday was celebrated in Southeast Asia as Vesak Day which is also known as Buddha’s birthday or Buddha Jayanti in India.

After a long time we went out as a family over the weekend and I like how interactions with BB & GG are at almost adult levels. I don’t have to filter what comes out of my mouth to be more kid-friendly and can speak to them as if I am speaking with another adult. That’s fun actually.

I have lots of plans for this week, but today will be a bit slow because everyone will be at home. I know I work best when I am alone at home and can focus on my work.

Happy Monday folks!

Another week and we inch closer to the middle of the year.

For Mother’s Day yesterday, GG (along with contributions from BB) brought me some skincare. Since both were out that day, they could sneakily buy the gift and came home and GG closeted herself in her room to gift wrap it. And gave it to me yesterday morning after they woke up.

From today they will start getting the results of their mid-year exams. BB was very subduded since last evening and was worrying about what is going to happen later in the day. I have tried to talk to him many times, but I really don’t know how to get through to him. I am hoping that the bad results this time will spur him up. He has the potential, but is quite lazy and hopelessly addicted to his phone!

I have quite a bit of things lined up to complete this week and hopefully I am productive this week. The past few weeks have been complete duds in terms of productivity and I am hoping this week changes that.

Have a wonderful week!

As t his year progresses, I really don’t feel like I have anything new to add in this space.

This week was like the previous week, which in turn, was like its predecessor.

I did come out of the funk I was in last week and the mid-week holiday was a good break for all of us.

Life is going on as usual with me doing a bit of freelance work which brings in some pocket money for me. I have also succumbed to the allure of online shopping after resisting for so long. I have shopped online before, but not like what I have been doing the past few months. I need to stop this and only buy things that are essential and that spark joy to me.

That’s pretty much this week! See you next week.

I was in a major funk for a good part of this week, but I am much better now and the start of a new week brings new hope.

I have been having some issues with one person where I am freelancing and this person has been very passive aggressive in dealing with me and this has got to me which contributed to the funk I was in.

I’ve rationalised it to myself and I am now much better and will not take this personally.

Anyway, we are at the end of April and for some reason, this month felt too short! This coming week is also going to be short one, with the May Day mid-week holiday. Mid-week holidays always remind me of a college friend who used to live for such holidays. She used to say that this meant Tuesdays feel like Fridays and Thursdays feel like another Monday and the week does not feel like the usual week at all.

Have a wonderful week folks!
