Good morning Saturday! Oh how I've missed having a proper morning which doesn't consist of me waking up at like 5.30 am or sleeping in till noon.

Not been feeling the best the past few days. I suspect that could just be a phase and that I will get over it soon. Overthinking things again that's why. Anyway, went for a power walk last night just to get let off some steam, and also have time alone for a bit.

Woke up this morning feeling a tad better. Meeting the man later in the noon, and fortunately I was able to wake up and have a productive morning thus far. Hopped for a quick warm shower, made breakfast, had COFFEE, and now decided to do some lesson plans while listening to spotify as I have a few hours to spare.

Not going to push myself too hard for now. I need to get back my head on track and not to be affected by overthinking.

Looking forward to a happy weekend. Note to self: NO stressing allowed.

This week zoomed past rather fast. Things has been cray cray. My laptop has been neglected, well actually been left behind in school for weeks. Hence the lack of updates blah blah blah.

I told myself not to do any work-related stuff outside working hours, in order for me to achieve a work-life balance. But decided that this will be just emailing parents some photographs. Besides, I kinda need to clear out the junks on my handphone.

I shall not dwell here any longer. Time for my night routine now... which includes drinking Anlene for my "kerepot" bones.
It's so nice to have a weekend off from work. I really needed a breather. Work has been so intense. Well honestly, it's not the children, but the adults.

Besides, with a disrupted sleeping hours, long days, and short nights, it has really taken a toll on my body recently. My body is probably overworked, and I felt so sick a couple of times already. Plus I am the type of person who tends to overthink a lot and get stressed up rather easily, which is not a good thing. Fortunately, I had those essential oils which I think helped me calm down and relax in a way. And oh, that "thieves tea" that I had been drinking last week was so good, and the smell of it is so invigorating. I think that tea remedy kinda helps with my feverish feeling and sinus attacks.

It has been a good weekend for me thus far. Sleeping in till noon yesterday. Spent my day yesterday with my boyfriend. Visited the library to borrow some book this morning. Tidied up my room a little bit. Now, I'm just awaiting for my nasi ambeng order to be delivered in a few hours time.

I am so not going to have any sort of Monday Blues tomorrow. Or week for that matter. No no no no no. Be positive, be strong, Keep calm and...... just keep calm. Do not think too much on unnecessary things. No stressing. Only hear the good stuff. Allah is always there with me. So chill.

Well, I'm off to watch Netflix.... and chill alone. I'm on my last season of Gossip Girl.

xoxo you know you love me.
It's been a week since I totally cut off caffeine, and I am really like a zombie. I mean, I don't function very well as I normally do, get cranky so very easily, and not forgetting being grumpy and grouchy over every single thing. That's totally not good. Please, please, please withdrawal symptoms, go away......
My life lately? I'm pretty much very occupied with work everyday. Well, that's life as an early childhood educator. But life in general has been good thus far. I think as I grew and through experience, I am able to handle stress better and also find the balance between work and life.

Anyway, it will be Ramadhan day one tomorrow! As cliche as it sounds, I can't believe it's already June and that the holy month is coming right up. Kinda disappointed that I have yet to receive the Ramadhan booklet which I've ordered online. But I'm looking for useful and of course, it must be aesthetically-pleasing too.

I've just started to totally cut out on my caffeine intake only yesterday. I admit, I can't function without it. Kinda screwed up yesterday. It was sooo tempting to wake up, smell, and have that very first sip of coffee this morning, but I resisted. Really hope that I can survive tomorrow without any migraines.

Ramadhan Kareem!
Finally the day that I had been waiting for since three freaking years ago has come. Yes, the long-awaited graduation day.

After a week of OT-ing at work, I took leave to attend the special day. The feeling while waiting in the convention centre was bittersweet, but mostly filled with joy and pride. I seriously couldn't have achieved it without my boyfriend, who was always there to push me, and my parents for their uncountable prayers for my health and success.
















I am proud to be a Ngee Ann Polytechnic graduate, but I am even more proud to be from ITE. If there's  will, there will definitely be a way. xoxo
Where did the time go? Now it's officially back to work, and tomorrow I will be welcoming new children (read: crying kids and managing parents).
