a profound change

from someone who finds talking to someone is fun to becoming someone who suffers massive headache just by attending a social event. I have never recalled feeling this shy and timid my whole life. Knowing that I was someone who is confident when socializing and presenting; never felt insecure with my body; not sensitive ; I can’t seem to accept who I am in the present. Why? What’s happening? If this just means I’m growing up, can I refuse?

how does it feel like staying at home for a month?

Well, it hasn't been a month yet. I believe it's about day 21 of lockdown in New Zealand. It is safe to say that I am one of the happiest people that is loving this lockdown. It is sad in a way that I can't see T or talk as much in person than usual but I would like to focus on the good things that I have been doing since pre-lockdown days.  Baking and cooking My housemates and I had done loads of baking and cooking throughout this period. We've made burnt cheesecakes, cookies, pandan cake, orange sponge cake, kek batik, cheesekut, roti canai, kuih tahi itik and more.

It was my idea to sign up for this. Because it reminds of Melaka's Skytrex, which we had gone together back in 2019 if I'm not mistaken for bonding time with Fire. It was pretty similar, I thought. Plus, I only remembered good times at Skytrex so, why not we give it a shot ey? I was damn excited before yesterday but hell, I didn't what was coming hahaha [Okay, it wasn't as bad but I did cry on top of the tree because there was no chicken exit and T was at the end of the bridge already.] We have 3 hours, from 10am -1pm to do whatever level we wanted. There were 8 levels in total - 1, 2, 3, 3B, 4, 5, 5B, 6. So, we did from Level 1 in hoping to make all the way to Level 6.  Level 1 was pretty easy but it was not as easy as I thought it would be but it was

2019; a reflection

hey, guess who's back? hahaha wah, it's been so long since I've written the last post. I've been wanting to blog, as usual, me all day, all week but didn't do it anyway. so here I am, after 11 days of procrastinating my past year review. last year has been...honestly, I don't even remember most parts except for when I flew here to NZ, and the loss of my dear grandfathers, cousin and grandaunt.
