Hi hi hello, March

Let's grease up the cogwheel and see how much I can recall on the first week of the month >

1st Mar 2023, Wednesday Listening: There's No Love in February

Wet, work-from-office Wednesday.

Went to pick up pants from Altera during lunch, HOWEVER, pants still loose. Had to wait another 4 days for them to fix it. Lunch was seafood fried rice tapao-ed from Rakuzen.

Laptop issue so had to go back to the office in the afternoon. Continued work at yush.

Went to Altera again to pick up the pants that finally fit, thank God. And here's my "unboxing" from yesterday!:

5th Mar 2023, Sunday Listening: Shiver, Coldplay

Had an on-going headache since the a.m. Went to Dippers with Zuls for a late lunk/ tea and it was tasty. Personally, no.2 in my taco ranking.

27th Mar - 31st March

27th Mar 2023, Monday Listening: Maybe Partying will Help, Minutemen

Today, my face erupted worse than usual. Im used to hormonal chin zits now and then, but today..today takes the cake. Ended up taking another sad nap in the afternoon just to cope.

--

28th Mar 2023, Tuesday Listening: Monster, The Automatic

Went to the clinic to deal with yesterday's skin reaction which he pointed down to eczema. Idek anymore..sigh. But the pills are so pretty ✨

My impulse purchase from 3 days ago arrived. The guilt is there but Im trying to brush it off 😅.

Felt the craving and the urge to use a film camera again after looking at my old pictures using Dad's Pentax, that was actually fun!

Tarawih with D.

--

29th Mar 2023, Wednesday Listening: Dear Prudence, Siouxsie and the Banshees (The Beatles cover)

Work-in-office Wednesday..

Exhausted.

--

30th Mar 2023, Thursday Listening: Someday, Sugar Ray

I had a dream I stepped into a dirty swimming pool. I was at some abandoned suburban neighborhood so I simply walked around and entered people’s abandoned houses. Most of them had swimming pools at their backyard. So lovely.

Cut to the next scene when 2121 came over my place and snapped a picture of my parents indoors. He stepped outside to take a picture of me by the pool, but not before my Dad yelled “no picture!”. Howeverrr, 2121 sneakily snapped anyway 😂

Why did my subconscious mind had a dream of houses with pools? I have no idea. But why did it involve picture snapping? Because of this!:

😬 special thanks to the people at zon tiga 😬

Also found the next movie Id loooove to watch at the cinemas! All because of Nike 😂

--

31st Mar 2023, Friday Listening: Again, Lenny Kravitz

Tasty Chap day! But not before saidah's pistachio tart arrived hehe

Finally unboxed the impulse purchase that arrived on Tuesday but not without making a video of it 😬

First buka puasa with zuls! Picked up farah's clothes for my CSR @ shah alam. Had Tasty Chapati and Ted Lasso as moreh ☺️ Also played with my new lomo & wore my new campus! 🌟 I felt like a child again 😊

--

To sum up my March, it was brilliant. Hamdulillah..

To more new experiences ahead, please! ❤️

Work-in-office-Wednesday. Wore my Noras to the office to boost my mood. Nat, YY, and I had a "last kopek" lunch at this place which name I forgot but they had exceptional service and food was good!

And tarawih begins! Mom and I bumped into my SIL who was genuinely excited for the first day, it was so cute 😂

--

23rd Mar 2023, Thursday Listening: The Future is Now, toe

Salam Ramadan! Pagi2 dah stress dengan IT. Then our big boss reminded us about our performance letter which I had completely forgotten about :S But I was sure enough that I did well because I delivered everything. Anyway, this year's Ramadan pick up line award goes to this one!

24th Mar 2023, Friday Listening: I Think My Mind Has Made its Mind Up, The Wombats

a.m. Ran errands at BV. Went to Altera again but this time to fix the kebarung I bought from Zalors.

--

26th Mar 2023, Sunday Listening: Mexico, CAKE

Found out that someone grazed my car & Kay misunderstood me on my CSR project and sent me garbage instead. The combination of these frustration made me so angry, I cried 🤦🏻‍♀️.

13th - 19th March

Okay another attempt at recapping my March. This particular week is significantly special. Let's do this!

I think I had meetings all day. Still bummed that the car's not yet ready :(

--

14th Mar 2023, Tuesday Listening: Possibility, Lykke Li

Ganti puasa day. Unfortunately did not manage to wake up for sahur but I pushed through anyway. Had a whole day of training. Zzz. & Zuls sent me laksam for buka, thank you!

--

15th Mar 2023, Wednesday Listening: Love is Everywhere, Wilco

Happy T3d Lasso day! Season 3 babyyyy!

Ganti puasa again. Budget meeting. Received news that the car is ready! 🌟 Buka puasa of poke bowl.

16th Mar 2023, Thursday Listening: Starlight, Muse

Today Zuls joined me ganti puasa hehe. Picked up the car with Dad! Woooop! Look at how shiny it is 😭

Had an evening meeting..I buka infront of the laptop 😤. As a treat, I went to yush after my proper dinner for a celebratory whitebox.

--

17th Mar 2023, Friday Listening: Friends & Lovers, Incubus

I think I was supposed to be on half-day leave but I had to join a meeting at 230pm before I finally get to leave the house 😤

I cant remember but I think we went to BV just to pray. Then to Gardens because I had to get a new Aeroccino, and then ArtFriend for some supplies. WokIt for dins because I haven't had them in awhile, (plus HH's Funk Wings!). I think we ended the night at yush, as yush 😊.

Today is historical because my entire being is brimming with love. I have had this feeling for quite some time but I was never fully sure, so to have it reassured and most importantly reciprocated today, gave me so much joy and comfort. I love, love. It's a privilege to be able to feel loved or even give love. It's time to slowly re-open this heart of mine and let new love in. I am immensely content. 🌹

--

18th Mar 2023, Saturday Listening: Good, Better than Ezra

Went to Tiffin and I had a stiff contender to the BTE (aka best taco ever!) I had back in 9 Feb. Taco King is definitely King 👑.

Pitstopped J & random dins at Piccadils.

--

19th Mar 2023, Sunday Listening: Better, Regina Spektor

I think we watched Ted Lasso at yush? Otherwise I cannot recall why these pics were in my camera roll on this day 😂

ARCTIC MONKEYS BABYYYYY

But wait, what did we do before that... Breakfast of chicken rice, right? Then Jesse & Son again for a cuba try test..

Sighhh to my zero butt.. Anyway, Siam Paragon either before or after that. I remember the pad thai was not as delish as at T21's. Then we came back, I took a nap? I took another nap in the cab otw to BITEC lol (I suka tido :p). At BITEC we had a soups delish beef bowl before the brianstorm..

I gave a 6/10 rating on my 'gram for the gig and received shit from friends who couldn't make it, IM SORRY but it was what it was.. I think we ended the night with our leftover goodstuff before I started....office work. (I KNOW RIGHT, WTF)

--

10th Mar 2023, Friday Listening: Fader, The Temper Trap

I woke up and did office work??? I think Zuls called me at some point where I gave him a tour of our cuuute flat with 2 bedrooms and a balcony perfect for my bad habit hehe. Best breakfast ever @ boonlong before meeting Aeyah who treated us moca!

Visited Nig again and it was confusing because we were angry/mellow/angry/mellow, but still babi excellent lol.

--

11th Mar 2023, Saturday Listening: Is it Real, Bombay Bicycle Club

Boonlong breakfast again (obsessed) before we left for the airport. Some crazy "amazing race" moment where we almost missed the flight home, so had to run all the way to the gate 😩 This was the insane queue that we had to cut through!:

Thanks to Ben who helped lead the way because my hands were already starting to tremble- classic indicator of me about to have a panic attack (but thankfully I did not).

Zuls fetched meee (even though he actually had a fever! He also sent me to the airport earlier 😬) Traffic was insane jelly. Quick dins @ A&W and yush before finally dropping me home. Ahhhh own bed.

--

12th Mar 2023, Sunday Listening: Landed, Ben Folds

Had a funny dream where A called B "sayang" at a concert and B didn't like it and got mad. Lol. Unpacked my luggage. Made a noob mistake of stepping on the scale but thank God I only gained 0.2kg from BKK. And I scored us tix for GV. July babyyyyyyy!

--

Ok gotta admit that took a lot of backtracking and photo gallery-checking to see what happened and when. But I have a feeling I missed out on a lot but hey I have tried my best (pats self).
