ok i'm here because... i'm not in the mood to write my script (again) hehe BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY because i just ended my mega hectic months since i graduated three years ago and i'm very proud of all that I've achieved :D so here's a look back at what i've done since june (which happens to unfortunately start with gonggong's passing) - three-month part-time writing course with the completion of "cannot" while juggling w the single mom story at work (and delayed submission cause no feels haha) - all the lectures, tutorials, presentations and going through versions and versions of script and bible - run trainings after taking a month+ of break in june, till the final completion of 21.1km in november - chatting up with strangers to expand my database of life and people and attending gatherings by myself despite being on tenterhooks haha - site visiting in korea and subsequently conceptualizing and writing the proposal/ppt for "shinhwa...

Post-run
Hehehehe xiao proud after yesterday woohoo Reported early and roamed around the stadium area - went to the toilet but couldn’t get anything out so I got abit worried After downing the last bit of water from pama, off I went to the start pen and commenced the run with the second wave of runners 💪 The start was much slower than I expected as we were running w a huge group of people As it reaches the end of the Nicoll highway uturn ard 2-3km, we started having more space and continued on our own speed Into this open tunnel and the Kallang reservoir stretch, f1 pit, Esplanade drive w a turn at WDA, Marina Bay Sands, barrage, Golf course, ecp garden linkway, back to my usual and lovely house area, and back to sportshub Got to say it didn’t feel as intimidating as I envisioned it And the hydration points really helped a lot cause it really refreshes you to go on to the next bit Along the way I even considered is it that short...

LEAVE DAY ME-DAY TODAY HEHE Intended to spend it at home the whole day to chill slack read watch shows clean up desk etc - basically anything but work But I only managed to finish some pages of 與惡 script book haha Also, dad jio-ed me and mom out to watch the birthday movie - which left me in tears several times especially the birthday party - but was too indie for their liking haha 失去不一定要以悲傷對待 歡樂 微笑 或許是紀念他們更美好的方式 It’s been a long time since I watched a movie w them - and I selfishly finished the nachos w mom and left none for dad lol 🙈 Not sure why but I certainly felt happy and had fun even though i didn’t intend to leave home in the first place So happy that I bough 3 r&b so that it’s one cup each but ended up spending 12$ lol In any case Time spent with the family is time well spent 💓
26
So what happened for this year's birthday was it was spent entirely with the external family haha first things first, saturday was spent with w pama on getting the sushi birthday deal haha but we exceeded my 26 count so the bill went up to $40 oh wells then on 19th itself the morning was spent sending cousin off for her customary marriage and tea ceremony we subsequently went over to maternal grandma side for the usual vesak event this time, however, without attending the bazaar cause grandma doesnt wanna go (possibly due to wheelchair?) then we went back to change to attend cousin's solemnization and wedding dinner for friends at night at a modern restaurant where we helped as reception good food and new ambience - quite a good experience :) but all the people and social events made me so tired after that i just wanna go home and rest but mama - prob scarred from my sec2 blackface cause no cake experience hahah - was insistent on getting me a cake but ...
Found a few postcards and letter with timely reminders from the younger wei (原來我從小就是心靈雞湯girl） 「因為無畏，才能戰勝自己」 「不要輕言放棄，因為堅持就是希望」 「這世界必然美好，將會美好」 Surprised by how the 21yo me has similar concerns as the 26yo me, even wrote a line that spark tears in me that goes 「如果哪一天，你開始質疑這世界的美好，開始不解人們的心理」 Hahahah 21yo wei, you’re amazing But so so so glad that after all these years, I’m still me. A quote to remind myself by (from a tw director) 「我們不是看到希望才去堅持，而是堅持下去才會看到希望。」 21歲問：「現在的你是快樂的嗎？」 26歲回：「是，我很快樂。」 因為愛自己，了解自己的好 我很知足，很快樂 ❤️
