Hi Blog,
Have you ever been conscious while dreaming? Like being fully aware of your dream, knowing what you are saying and how you are reacting, yet unable to control what happens within it.
 |
| I experience this quite often. Sometimes, after waking up, I can still vividly remember what took place in my dream. |
I’ve come to realize that this mirrors real life—just as dreams unfold on their own, so do the events in our daily lives. We can’t control what happens around us, but we can choose how we respond, what we learn, and how we grow from these experiences.
A great teacher once shared that when we consistently practice self-awareness—through reflection, repentance, and attentively observing the world around us, including people, events, and nature—we can cultivate mindfulness throughout the day. Lately, I’ve been making a conscious effort to “know” my thoughts, adjust how I react, and learn from every experience. I’ll continue observing and refining this awareness as time goes by.

| 1st Mar 2025 - Oh no, am I dreaming now? My laptop has a problem. My hard drive was suddenly corrupted, and all of my files were gone! I do not have any backups... 😓😓😓 Now, I cannot easily update my blog, but fortunately, most of my images are on my blog, although some critical files have vanished. |

| 2nd Mar 2025 - With a PS5, one would expect to begin playing games immediately, but that is not the case. This is where additional funds will be necessary for an annual subscription to connect online and purchase digital games. I will be playing Monster Hunter Wild, which costs $100! Oh well... To be honest, I truly enjoyed the gameplay in Monster Hunter World (past series), and after experiencing the latest series, my fond memories returned, encouraging me to explore the game world. I spent a considerable amount of time refining my character, who is either unattractive or ugly. Haha |

| 3rd Mar 2025 - Yesterday, I met up with the buyer to return his money and collect the costume. What touched me most was what happened next—without hesitation, he asked for my contact number and told me he would love to join me in voluntary work, wearing a costume whenever time allows. I hadn’t expected anything in return for my decision, yet this simple act of putting others before myself somehow created a small ripple. It reminded me that kindness, no matter how small, can leave a mark on someone’s life in unexpected ways. |

| 4th Mar 2025 - I have a special Thor Hammer Mjolnir (mp3 speaker), right? Now, I can proudly display something. Yes, a base for Mjolnir, and I wish I had more room for it. What a waste of money. Haha, but my 'girl's math' is trying to justify my purchase because getting this base online costs half the price of that hammer and doesn't include the LED, so this one is less than a hundred and makes me proud. Haha |
|
| 6th Mar 2025 - I reminded myself I am not fat today. I am simply normal, nothing special, just fine. Slowly, I am learning to accept this fact. Maybe I am a little fat, but that’s okay. Compared to others, I am doing fine. I just hope I am okay. |

| 7th Mar 2025 - It was a long day… The swimming pool was crowded with youths, most likely JC students, who exuded confidence with their buffed bodies while laughing and making noise. Surprisingly, the public didn’t seem to mind. I had just finished my swim and left quickly to avoid bumping into them in the toilet, as their aura would make me feel lousy. Fortunately, they arrived right after I packed my bag, so I received less damage. My overthinking is getting to me, but I know others will tell me it is easy... Only makes me feel worse... |
|
| 8th Mar 2025 - I took a day trip to KL with my aunt and my friend, Ottus, so they could visit a Chinese doctor for their regular treatment. I had no choice but to tag along since I was the go-between for my aunt and Ottus. Oh well. Traveling always drains me—especially my wallet. I just can’t resist a good deal, and somehow, I ended up buying another National Geographic bag. |
 |
| 12th Mar 2025 - Today is Mr. M’s birthday, my reporting officer. I truly appreciate his attentiveness, patience, and guidance. I recognise I’m neither a perfect worker nor someone with significant leadership potential—just an ordinary salaryman. However, without him, I couldn’t work as smoothly as I do. |
|
| 12th Mar 2025 - Oops! I completely forgot that I had signed up for a yoga session today (just for the experience) and didn’t wear my most comfortable outfit. So, I ended up doing yoga in my formal attire! Thankfully, my pants were soft and flexible—but my top? Not so much! Anyway, shoutout to Decathlon for their pants, which look formal yet have soft, stretchy fabric. I sound like I’m advertising for them! |
|
| 12th Mar 2025 - I can't believe I have three different short posts on the same day! While I was snapping pictures for my blog in the toilet today, a guest walked in and gave me that look. He was about to place his bag on the shared bench with me but hesitated and took it into a cubicle instead—probably to avoid this untoned guy in an unconventional trunk colour. Oh well… I get it. He’s good-looking and muscular, so he probably gets stared at too—but his stares are more of admiration, while mine usually lean towards disgust. |
|
| 13th Mar 2025 - I can't believe I took over 50 pictures today just to prepare for my trisuit theme. Crazy me, doing weird stuff again! But it’s all because I managed to purchase a grey trisuit from eBay! These days, 2XU’s newer designs feel boring and uninspired—nothing like the stylish classics. Speaking of colours, while white is my favourite and blue comes next, grey definitely sits right between them. Anyway, no matter what, as long as it's a 2XU trisuit in this classic design, I have to get it! |

| 14th Mar 2025 - Finally, Term 1 has come to an end! A whole week of peace before Term 2 starts. To relax, I went for a quick swim and unexpectedly bumped into Ai—long time no see! He hasn’t been swimming lately because of work. Somehow, I felt like his usual sunny smile had dimmed. He used to have such a bright and cheerful expression, but today, it seemed different. Or maybe it was my fault… He told me that the back of my trunks was almost transparent when wet! Omg! I had no idea! Guess I’ll have to retire that pair. Maybe I just embarrassed him in public. Oh well… |

| 16th Mar 2025 - Today, I was assigned to assist the Marrow Bone booth at a remote shopping mall, Buangkok Square Mall. Wow, what a quiet mall... In any case, we tried to interact with the customers and gave the two volunteers hope. We eventually got three people to sign up as donors. Well done everyone! |
|
| 20th Mar 2025 - A monsoon surge hit Singapore today, bringing non-stop rain since morning. I had a small window of free time before my next programme, just enough for a quick swim. Luckily, the rain eased up, and I was the only one in the pool. The lifeguard warned me about the cold and possible heavy rain, but I went ahead anyway. Haha! I didn’t take many photos—felt awkward with the lifeguard watching. But hey, small win! After my swim, he gave me a thumbs-up for completing my laps and staying determined. |
More to come...
