18 August 2018, 18082018 – sounds like a good HUAT date huh? Loads of 8s within the date itself! Didn’t really notice it till my friend mentioned it and I was like woah yeah, I should do something special/interesting that day!

The initial plan? Head down to Rendezvous Hotel to catch a movie screening and get a drink at 7pm before checking out the Singapore Night Festival.

But as you know, similar to the travel itineraries – plans are just plans. In the end, I took a quick evening nap instead and decided not to venture out of home. Yeah, sometimes I really need a big motivation factor to push me to get out of my hermit cave and that plan just didn’t cut it lol!

It felt really good to be staying at home as well.. making it a record two days of being a hermit at home after weeks of heading out daily and coming back from my Melbourne trip. Cheaper too because if you go out = spend money and with my unemployment stage at this moment.. not so wise lol. Heh. Plus I actually do enjoy nua-ing at home tbh. Just not all the time lol – I think.

Anyway, it was a satisfying Saturday for me nonetheless (: I only did a couple of things but they made me feel very accomplished on the whole!

I spent literally the entire morning plotting out my Instagram postings for HOURS and here’s a sneak peek! So be prepared for loads of throwback photos from my Melbourne trip coming up .. after I’m done with my Japan trip throwback that is wahhahahahaha. Sometimes I think I should create a separate account but I prefer to have everything under one account tbh. These photos are so important to me because they contain all my memories of my trip. Like every photo I take – there’s always a story behind it. Always (:

Had a weird ass salad for lunch – my salad prep with the smoked duck from Thursday and I added the Kay Lee char siew from the day before and threw in the rest of my cranberry nut mix. The combination is interesting to say the least and my mom was like ugh later you get diarrhea lol 😢 Actually it’s not too bad leh, quite nice. Though the cranberries didn’t really go too well 😂

Been awhile since I listened to music because I usually do things in silence cos I get easily distracted/can’t multi task. But on this day, I decided to spam all my favourite songs and had a mini sing-along session on YouTube. Yeah I think I’m in desperate need for a K session or something to sing my heart out soon lol.

Music really gets to me – the lyrics, the beat and the feeling it gives me. It also helps to invoke more emotions from me and I feel that some songs can really allow me to express my current state of feelings. Weird I know but that’s how I feel about it hahaha.

Here’s an example – this song invoked my annoyed/irritated state; which is pretty rare since I’m usually quite calm and even tempered. But trust me, I’m not all the time lol. Some poeple just have the uncanny ability to annoy the crap out of me and I can’t stop myself from being annoyed (UGHHH!!) and perhaps, whiney at the same time lol. 🙄😑 I’m HUMAN after all.

More importantly, instead of heading out as I mentioned – I managed to check off all the things on my very short to-do list (after my nap that is) #1, reply all emails = done on Friday (woohoo!!) and #2 = my last travelogue on Japan for Day 12 is finally completed!!!

Gawd, I don’t know how many hours I’ve poured into writing them but it’s finally done! Left with the scheduling and publication – which will take quite awhile btw cos I still have a number of other travelogues to publish first!

The next one should be my KL trip back in Jan before the Japan one. Heh, then next up after that..I gotta work on my Melbourne trip! Ideally I’m hoping (with fingers crossed) that I’ll be able to finish writing my Melbourne trip before my upcoming trip(s?) in September so that I won’t have yet another backlog to clear. Gotta find the motivation to actually sit and finish writing and putting up the photos though. At least on a brighter note..it’s an 8 day travelogue vs a 12 day one for Japan if that’s any consolation for myself 😂😂

Oh and in the end, yes I did head out – mainly to get some exercise/kill calories/hit my target for my AIA Vitality app and headed over to Cold Storage to pick up some groceries. Ah late night grocery shopping is awesome and sometimes I don’t give a crap on what I wear or how I look even with my dark eye circles and all huhuhuhu. Only at night ah and alone – otherwise you won’t catch me in this “natural” state at all 😂

In general, Cold Storage is definitely my favourite supermarket of them all! Especially for the health conscious – you can really pick up healthy/affordable food/snacks here. And interesting ones to boot as well! Eyed quite a number of snacks but nope 😭😭😭

Happy loots for the night! Yay!

My “rewards” for this accomplishment to head out when I got home that night. Lol..the chips were slightly unwarranted but I can’t resist crisps.. tho on a brighter note they are healthier 😢 Polished them off mercilessly..so much for my diet 😭😭😭😭😭 Haiz. Lol.

And that’s about it for my Saturday! Can’t believe I rambled on for so long over such mundane stuff but that’s how I work wahhahahahaha. Meanwhile, I hope your Saturday was just as good as mine and thanks always for reading!

Ending off with a bonus photo taken by my bff in Melbourne – meow! 🐈🐾
