Sunday Morning

I don't know why I thought a 9AM pilates class on a Sunday is a good idea.. And then I don't know why I prioritised a haircut over a massage appointment after the class..

Such encouraging friend I have.. 

That's me thinking, "pfft! And you thought I wouldn't survive.. Hmph!" like 30 minutes after the class

...

........

And this is also me trying to type this post out 12 hours later because I'm just too tired to move and I can feel the soreness coming.

New Work Friends

This morning I just couldn't get out of bed. When I finally got to the office, I felt like I've been hit by a truck. I think I had a spacing out moment for like a good 5 minutes before I finally could switch gears and get into my work mode. 

This week felt extra longer than usual cause we've had a super kelam-kabut Tuesday, then a Wednesday that wasn't actually that long but it felt longer than usual.. Haihhh

So I needed a pick me up and there was no ZARA at the nearby mall so..

 Teeheehee! Meet my new work "friends"! :D 

Adding some fun to the #corporateslavery life.. 

You're Worth It

In light that it was the International Women's Day yesterday, I feel like I should share this post I found on Facebook, with my comments in italics.

10 Facts Every Women Should Know

1. Everyone has rolls when they bend over. It's true, I have a friend with the world's flattest stomach, even she has rolls when she sits. Especially if you just ate!
2. When someone tells you that you're beautiful, believe them. They aren't lying. And don't wait for someone to tell you that you're beautiful. 
3. Sometimes we all wake up with breathe that could kill a goat. 
4. For every woman unhappy with her stretch marks is another woman who wishes she had them. 
5. You should definitely have more confidence. And if you saw yourself the way others see you, you would. Confidence is good, but complement it with humility and you've got a killer combo.
6. Don't look for a man to save you. Be able to save yourself. 
7. It's okay to not love every part of your body.. but you should. Focus on the parts you do love if you don't love every part of your body. 
8. We all have that one friend who seems to have it all together. That woman with the seemingly perfect life. Well, you might be that woman to someone else. Key word: seemingly.. I am always a strong believer of whatever that happens to you, it's the best thing that can happen to you as God is always the best planner.
9. You should be a priority. Not an option, a last resort or a back up plan. Know your worth.
10. You're a woman. That alone makes you pretty damn remarkable. Because who else can maintain a career, a relationship and a household?!

Happy International Women's Day everybody!

Moments

Songs have the ability to transport you back to an exact "moment". It can be a particular event, or even just a particular phase of your life and how you felt during that phase. 

As for me, the only song(s) that does not signifies any particular "moment" of my life would be my collection of Hindi songs - which is more regularly updated than the list of English songs in my iTunes. I think this is partly why I can listen to Hindi songs (or even let a Bollywood movie play) in the background while I'm studying or reading. My brain doesn't need to decipher the lyrics, my heart won't flashback random memories when it plays, I don't have to think about it and can maintain my focus. 

But for English songs... 

There's a song that would bring me back to an exact moment while I was driving in my car with my girlfriends, there's a song that can also bring me to a different moment in my car where I just drove aimlessly for about 30 minutes just because I wanted to be alone and let my mind be calm.. There's a song that can bring me back to that moment in the parking lot where a funny conversation happened relating to the lyrics of the song.. There are just many moments related to some songs for me and sometimes it's the reason why I don't listen to the songs anymore.

As for now, these are the two songs that would sum up my current "moment":

Spirit Animal (Not Really)

I think I'm hilarious and am a fun person to be around with.. 

Don't tell me you didn't laugh... :p

Happy Monday everyone! xx, A
