I ramble…
Now that this is my main ‘online’ home, I feel like rambling about how things have gone now and then (looks like it’s about once a week for now). I have been so stressed with work recently, which is a source of guilt for me because I do enjoy my job and it feels weird… Read More Sunday Rambles: Thoughts on Work
I don’t normally do recap posts but I did want to talk about my weekend. It’s the first time that I had to do closing for our PS store and I had to do it for two days in a row (Friday and Saturday). So yeah, I was so nervous when I got to work… Read More Weekend Recap: Tea Party & Rest
I have always been one of those people that like to know what I’m feeling. If I can name it, then I know what’s going on and I can take steps to manage it. So for the past few weeks, not having the words to describe how I’m feeling is frustrating and more than a… Read More Naming My Emotions
…is selling away my kendo 竹刀 Oddly enough, it’s not giving up kendo, it’s selling the sword. I suppose that while I still had the sword, I could tell myself that I’d resume kendo again, in the Tomorrow. But without the sword, it’s pretty clear I won’t, even if I do have everything else. Isn’t… Read More One of my current regrets…
It’s been about a year since I moved back to Singapore. I say “about” because I remember it being early Nov but I don’t remember the exact date (I’m bad at dates; for example, I once got two out of three of my sibling’s birthdays wrong. And yes, they have not let me live that… Read More On Imposter Syndrome for Missing Japan
There are a few strings tying me to Japan. The strongest are my friends and my memories, but there are also, somewhat incongruously, games. One of them was Aerial Legends, a game created by the company that I used to work for. I remember when it first came out. The management was so excited and… Read More Goodbye to More Than a Game
So I’ve been back in Singapore for over half a year, yet it feels like no time has passed. It’s been great being able to spend time with Singaporean friends and family (especially since most of the people my age have graduated and are back in Singapore too) but the more I meet up with… Read More my heart in two places
It’s June! Although it feels like the year just started to me. Anyway,I thought I’d do a little update on how things are mental-health and writing-wise, but first, I want to share about a podcast episode I listened to this week: Joanna Penn’s podcast this past week was an interview with Michaelbrent Collins and it… Read More Mid-Year Stocktake
I’ve been going to counseling and today’s session made me want to take down notes so that I don’t forget. It’s a bit of a hodge-podge, but I’m sharing it here in case it can help. 1. What toxic means The word toxic is bandied around so often that I didn’t really know what it… Read More Lessons from counselling
I’m back in counselling! This time, a face-to-face one. Remember the mental health check I talked about some time ago? Well, they sent a referral and I got a phone call a couple of days ago asking about when I would like to come in. Since I’m a NEET right now, I asked (and got)… Read More I have mild depression
