Having a small break going back home, biggest achievement is able to take super long nap and being daughter when I'm home. Also, I almost finish my book ' Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus '.
I know, I know, it has been more than a month; but I have tried my best to read and digest whatever the author delivered. I seriously can't wait to unwrap my new book, been wanting for so long and finally got it as my birthday present.
Well, I went back 2 days only basically. First day when I reached I straight away went Penang with mom. We had nice food.
2nd day I went Taiping, tried out the new relocated cafe near the lake there (PSY, SPA and I our old place) : Double Tap. Waited SPA to finish her meeting there and I did my score study. I do really enjoy doing our own things at a same space; we don't have to say a single word but we feel closed.
Then, we went to cycle around the lake. It was such a great day because I was in my super deep emotional well (period thingy + feeling super down). We cycled, met new people and having so much laughters. I instantly felt sooo relief after that.
That night, I went out with OKU and got good cakeyyyy. Am craving for cakeyy recently. The day before I went back home, I ordered FoodPanda and it cancelled my order after freaking 3+ hours. Ermm. So I had quite a lot of cakes when I got back. Hehe
Came back on Thursday and felt super empty, but started working and practicing filled up the emptiness a little bit.
On Friday 6 May, went for Tzu Chi International School for the coach briefing. It felt super great, and Ee Ning and I went for the cafe I have been wanting to go for so long. The Dark Roast Hojicha was superb. No regret trying it. 8.5/10.
On 7 May which is today; I started my first conducting session at CHS after 2 years +.
It was not as fancy/ amazing as I thought, but it was definitely a day to be remembered. If I were to give marks to myself, I would give myself 4.9/10. Not reaching half because I still have a lot of unsolved questions. Took few days to study the score was indeed not enough, and Thank God the repertoires aren't as complicated as what Mr. Lee gave.
But, good practices make perfect; so I am not gonna be so harsh to myself. Will view it as a super great chance to improve myself. At least, I felt halfway prepared. At least, I feel safe to stand on the podium.
Never learned to appreciate the beauty of the Lake when I was there, or probably because of the suffering 1.5 years, Taiping stores all my sweet and bad memories there. And those memories make the place even more stunning after few years not coming back.
My healing pill ❤️
Good cakeys with OKU
Ee Ning and I supposed to have date on last Friday at this place called ONO, but I was involved in the accident so we had to postponed. On the way to the briefing, she asked me: When do you wanna go ONO again? I said: Why not today?
This is super sweet when someone remembers what you have said.
I camouflage myself and blended into the black. Having teenager's height, 20+ yo face and 80+ yo waist isn't an easy task.
One thing to be super proud of is: I have my 2nd day period today (7 May 2022) and normally it is the worst of the period week. Stomach cramp since the morning and lower half body (starting from the waist) got so sour and sore regardless I stood or sat. Managed to survive since morning 8:45am- 7pm of working day. It has not been easy, but the pain makes me stay alive; reminding myself so hard that if I could survive every month with the soreness of the cramp, I could survive with anything. I am strong.
I have so much wonderful stuffs to be grateful about. ❤️ But not gonna force myself to be happy if I don't feel like. Validate my inner child is what I am working on.
