Life review in October - Long read

Before I dive in to the life review, just penning it down that I met my brother and sister though separately for lunch while at work. Why do I need to pen it down? Because it's rare we get to meet each other for lunch when each of us are all working. 

  


Quick life update:
Received news our dept will be transferred and shifted to PM side
We need to move to PM office which is Chai Chee, which is at Bedok which means it will be a super long journey for me to and fro work next year 😭

Tried balloting for BTO. Let's see again in Dec if I get the location I wanted. So far the other options are all in the East which I do not fancy. Honestly, I doubt I will stay in my own place once I get it. It will be more of a weekend/vacation house I guess. 

Been clearing leaves and planning for me-time during this AL. No more museum hopping this time round. Instead, I'm trying to tick off places I've been listing down in my notes to explore. One time the weather disrupted my plans 😓 During this me-time, it's also a challenge to myself to walk on a path I never walk before because I used to simply not venture to unknown places. But thinking of the future, I need to brace myself more so I can explore more places maybe overseas on my own too. 

Speaking of which, I've been toying with the idea for a solo trip. Mom and sister are against it. But I want to do it to see if I can do it. Rather than thinking if I can do it. Because thinking and actually doing it are different right. 

Consuming more cdrama at the moment plus I'm fangirling over this 1.9m actor/singer Liu Yuning. 
It feels like when I started fangirling over Salman Khan. The fun part is this guy does live-streaming and there's plenty of his old videos and it's so funny and entertaining I find myself laughing/smiling on my own every time I watch them 😍😍😍 Like normal fangirl, I googled about him and learnt how he literally rose from zero to where he is now and I feel made proud about it. Best part is he never hides his past and tend to always link up his past and his present as a way to ground himself. He's not afraid to roast himself which is refreshing to watch. When he yaps, it's like watching your own friend instead of this popular artist and he's so goofy and sassy and petty with his replies sometimes. It's pure entertainment. Sadly he has no instagram and only has weibo but I don't read or write mandarin. But thanks to the fan accounts especially those with added english subs. Really thankful for the contents. 
Fangirling so much I'm listening to his songs and watching his videos everyday now it's madness.
