Blog - February Overview

Hi Blog,

I hate February! It has two days that make me feel miserable... Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day. I don't hate them just because I'm alone... I have many other reasons... but mostly because... I'm alone... 😆

I guess growing older means accepting myself more. I have to learn how to be kind to myself and appreciate who I am.

I don't care if no one wants me. I'm going to make myself the most awesome single person ever. I'll enjoy my life to the max and do things that couples can only dream of. I may not have a lover, but I have the whole world to explore and appreciate. Mother Nature is my best friend and she loves me unconditionally.

Anyway, thanks to my exclusive readers for responding to my first blog acknowledgement exercise (thank you for all the kind words which you had left in the feedback form). I hope my readers will understand and let you know, you have a special space in my life. I also just wanted to take this chance to remove the ghosts. I will let my blog decide.

Trip - Finding Haw Par Beach Villa

Good Morning Blog,

Today's trip was an exciting one which I had been looking forward to. I read and saw picture posts by hikers of this place - Haw Paw Beach Mansion. (you can read more of it in Remember Singapore) I had been to Coney Island a few times, but I don't remember spotting any building structures, which means they are hidden from sight.

Today's weather seemed promising. Why did I say that? Because from the past photos of the hikers, they will have muddy shoes for sure. I hope that if we really find it, the dry weather will reduce the chance. I hate mud.

But first, whether I can find it or not... That's one of the most important factors. Let's go!

Personal - Suits for the Theme #94

Hi Blog,

What do you think about the idea of trisuits? Do you like them or not? Do you think they are comfortable, practical, or fashionable? Or do you think they are too revealing, too tight, or too expensive?

I have mixed feelings about them. On the one hand, I think they are cool and fun to wear. They make me feel like a superhero or a sci-fi character.

They also help me stay warm and dry when I swim, bike, or run. On the other hand, I sometimes feel self-conscious and awkward about them in the past and now (sometimes) as they show every fat curve of my body.

Personal - Embracing My Imperfections

Hi Blog,

Today I decided to go for a short hike, a small me-time moment to do some reflection.

Today's weather was rather good and welcoming. Let's go hiking!

I've been doing some thinking lately, and I decided to write a not-unfamiliar content (even though my readers had already known and become numb with my nonsense). You may skip it if it isn't interesting.

Personal - Suits for the Theme #93

Hi Blog,

Every month, I will make a complete Trisuit theme post. Don't keep and forget it.

Taken and completed since 2022. now this tree log was long gone.

I was feeling nostalgic as I looked at the photos of me in my trisuit. It was only a few days ago that I had snapped them at the spot where a storm knocked down the tree.

Personal - Jon's Journey: Singapore Unveiled

Hi Blog,

Do you have the thrill of meeting someone in person after years of writing letters to each other before? It was like meeting a pen pal, which was a common thing before email became popular. Feeling so old now.

Today I am supposed to go for a short jog.

I still recall how our handwriting and our choice of words could reveal so much about our personality, feelings and sincerity. Email changed that, and made it harder to understand someone deeply. We had to rely more on how we crafted our messages.

On 1st Feb 2024, I'm excited that I will meet one of my loyal blog readers, Jon. He will be coming to Singapore for a short visit.
