I haven’t had a lot of achievements for a 29 year old. But I’m still grateful for everything that I have. My parents, siblings, friends (well not really friends as in close friends but colleague friends). A job, an income, money to spend on stuff, a roof over my head and food.
So, do I need to complain? Maybe just one thing but perhaps also because it isn’t the time for me yet. I wonder where my other half is. Like where areeee youuu! I’m 29 already mind you. Haha! Kidding. Its just that my ultimate dream is to have a family of my own. Its definitely another level cause at this point its not just you yourself in the picture but the lives of other people. But its still a goal for me.
God forbids me for being ungrateful. So, Alhamdulillah. Thank God for everything.
My boss threw out a question the other day in our meeting and it got me thinking. It was like a reflection time of how this year has been for all of us. And her question was..
‘What has been the greatest change or thing that you learned this year’
When she threw out that question. Instantaneously, my mind went ‘was there anything different besides covid?’ Smirks.
I take awhile to reflect on things and usually for questions like this, it comes after days of reflection for me to really see a bigger picture. And there’s actually a few things.
Firstly, I reached my 5 years long service award. Like Yay! Congrats to me. But my dad went “so, one leg in huh? Are you going to put the other in as well?”
They say its good to get new experiences every 5 years. I do have an intention to leave to get more experience but me and comfort zones is just another hell of an issue.
Secondly, I wanted to make it a point to learn everyday. So, I downloaded a language app called Duolingo and am starting to get back on learning Japanese. I don’t know why Japanese. Why not Chinese or something more relatable in Singapore’s context right?
Ok, maybe I should start on Chinese too. But maybe because I took Japanese as one of my electives back in Poly but it didn’t really..yeah…nope. The only sentence I remember was ‘watashi wa Ana desu’. That’s all. Besides arigato, sayonara and whatnot. How did I even pass that subject anyway? No idea.
Gotta try skillshare too. Which seems to be pretty good.
My sister got me rollerblades for my birthday and I started to learn rollerblading as well.
Oh, I should also talk about how I started cooking at the start of this year. I’m talking about cooking every single day. But it gradually became lesser because I eventually realised I was eating more. Sort of a sad story actually, hilarious too. Cause you wanna cook but you don’t want to gain weight at the same time. You get me? But I can cook! *dust off shoulders*
And yarrr….probably that’s that.
It may not seem much but hey it worth a step right? I didn’t like how this irrational fear of mine is holding me back so much that I thought, you know what, if it means being in your comfort zone, at least start doing things that you can within your comfort zone.
So I did.
