Hachi

Slept like there’s no tomorrow until 11am. Sent the car for service and had dim sum.

Watched Sex and the City 1 so that I could watch Sex and the City 2 should the need arises.

Vacuumed and mopped the floor. These are no longer chores to me anymore because I love the new mop. It is light and I don’t need to squeeze dry it with my hands anymore. I can go on and on mopping and still enjoying it.

Had super duper yummy steamboat at Puchong and didn’t know what to do after that. Was searching for kungfu panda so that we could stream and watch online. I found the movie “Hachi” instead and I’m glad I did.

If you love dogs, you would definitely love this. I cried watching it.

Cooking Machine

Amazing. I’ve been cooking dinner for 2 nights in a row. Last night, we had bitter gourd soup with meatballs and otak-otak from Muar. Tonight we had egg and tomato soup, vegetables with chicken.

I will take a break tomorrow since Iris is not eating and I’m going to reward myself with some Korean food. Bul go gi sounds tempting!

Visited the dentist today when the rain poured the highest. I couldn’t find a nearer parking and I figured even if I was close, I would have been wet anyway.

I practically had to walk into a pool of water because I was already in a pool of water. Haha!

I had a different configuration to wear the elastic bands on my braces and I’m not afraid to wear it 24/7 because this is so much better than the previous settings. It’s still very obvious but it’s alright.

I love my new car. It’s the same make and model like the one I drove, this time just new. I’m more than happy.

Relieved

I’m feeling so relieved today, after worrying for the past few days. The moment I got home after dinner, I immediately dived onto my sofa and watch “Three Brothers”, another Korean series…and coincidentally it was the last 2 episodes I was watching. The story ended with a happy ending.

Today is not just a normal day at work. I managed to get out of my shell a little but I reckon I can do more than that. I’m very self-conscious and I’m very in need of others approval so there are times, I mind my words and actions too much. While others are confident to be themselves, I still remain in the invisible shell I build for myself. No one sees the shell but me.

It is not something that happened overnight. It’s something I’ve been trying to overcome throughout the years. I don’t know if it’s my nature or it’s going to be like that forever. Maybe I”ll come out of that shell and I want to but I don’t know how long it’s gonna take.

There is nothing scary about talking to people you don’t know. But for me, I’m so afraid at talking to new people that I get so stressed up and my mind goes blank and then I’m tongue-tied and I don’t know what to say…which results in me feeling worse and then I stressed myself out, wondering why it’s easy for others to articulate their views.

I write better than I speak. Words just seemed to flow effortlessly when I write…but it’s different when I speak. Something I need to work on. I know I can do it, I am just not confident enough and I care too much about how people will judge me.

I’ve got another car to drive now so Iris is driving to work herself and I drive to work on my own. It frees up a lot of time and I should be able to slot in some cooking time from tomorrow onwards.

My body and well-being has deteriorated from eating outside too much. It’s time I balance it with some home-cooked food. I’m a bit rusty now that I’ve not cooked for a while but I should really get started. I would like to cook nutritious meals for Iris as well so that she can focus better at work!

I’m thankful that I was able to remain calm and collected today.

Hoping tomorrow will be as good as today, if not, BETTER! :)
