I used to be a competitive kid, in a quiet way. Being a perfectionist, I would work very hard when I wanted to see results, be it with my studies, at work, in school...
But I've learnt this stress to perform well is taking a toll on my body, especially so when I grow older.

You may or may not recognise the stress your body feels. It can manifest itself in aches, discomfort, pain, mood swings, low productivity, lack of interest in things that you used to love, stiffness and tightness in body, or other ailments. My stress response is easily triggered by over planning my schedule to the point that I hardly get rest...and it comes out with my gut issues, throat problems, fatigue, lack of enthusiasm to socialise...
°
My outlet is to exercise, because that's the only thing I can do with irregular working hours. My life is a complete opposite of my friends', and when everyone is out socialising I am working. I've learnt that I need to remind myself that while helping other people relax and feel better in their bodies, I need to help myself too. Everyone deserves me time and we need to encourage everyone towards a better work-life balance than one that tips towards earning more to be successful.

If you are struggling, do remember to take the break that you have been procrastinating. No one can take that away from you, and remember, everyone's limitations is different. You deserve every bit of what you want. 😘

Sorry too long winded but here's a bit of workout time with my cheapo banana socks for that dose of happy vibes.😊

Responding to hate speech is equal to you choose to socialise with disgusting people. Choose to talk to better persons. Positive persons, usually, are hot too. 💦💦💦👄

Weekend. Raining. Work had been hectic. Needed to take some time off to recharge. Covid. WFH. Blurred lines between work and personal time. No time to shut off from work completely. Found myself working from screens to screen. Laptop to phone. Even leisure is watching videos online.

In need of time for a digital detox.

Found a bookstore that was opened in Feb this year, in the heart of Orchard Road, Wheelock Place. Where the Borders flagship used to be. If you know what I’m talking about, you’re from my time. I recall the times when I was still in secondary school, hanging at Borders with my friends who love reading, and I will be there checking out the CDs.

Heard that it has a 2 storey space with a cafe and gallery as well. Heard that the ones in China open 24hours, although it’s not happening in SG yet

Zall Bookstore, an outlet with more than 30,000 books mostly in Chinese, also has a cafe and art gallery

——

“Ms Laura Yan Ge, 24, who is general manager of the Singapore store, said at a media preview on Friday that while the company did not anticipate the coronavirus outbreak erupting amid its expansion, it believes bookstores are especially vital during a pandemic.

‘Because of Covid-19, there is a lot of distance between people nowadays," she said in Mandarin. "We believe books will help to close this gap. They provide food for thought and people can use them to widen their worlds.’”

As a creator myself, I need to constantly find inspiration.

While I can readily find all sorts of information online, sometimes I found my mind being constantly overloaded instead. We read. Socialise. We basically live most parts of our lives in the virtual world, and now we have lesser and lesser reasons to get out there anymore.

So, why a new book store? When was the last time you visited a book store?

Being here made me realised that it’s not about the books. It’s about the space. It’s about the experience. It’s about being here and being present. And what happens when you unplug from the internet and be present in the moment? You’ll get involuntarily intrigued by the surroundings, the people, the architecture, the noise, the beauty of it all. You’ll find headspace. You’ll find your inspiration. You’ll even find a new you.

When was the last time you stepped outside, set aside time just for yourself, and experience life beyond the screen?

“原来真实的社会如此不容易，原来我们和现实可以靠得那么近！”

出来社会工作后的领悟啊！

郑斌彦& 陈政宏-小幸运（工作不幸运版）

改编词：阿瘦、郑斌彦

我看见那盏绿灯亮了又熄
可我上班的时间快来不及
为什么没有出现任何缝隙
能让我的车前进

下班的时间一直漂浮不定
准时回家需要很大勇气
为什么没有同事收拾东西
原来老板在大厅

也许每天忙着应酬和交际
忙着应付突如其来的算计

人理所当然的逃避
事不关己的问题就开始默默打太极

原来真实的社会如此不容易
原来我们和现实可以靠得那么近
那吵着改变世界的曾经
却改变了自己
一层层地戴起
嬉皮笑脸的面具

又到假期好幸运
可我已失去陪你彻夜狂欢的精力

但愿在我看不到的天明
能睡到自然醒 电话别响不停
那就谢天谢地

公司是个极度虚伪的环境
到处看到同事拍上司马屁

求老板加薪谁能给我勇气
让我能养活我自己

也许每天忙着应酬和交际
忙着应付突如其来的算计

人无时无刻在攻击
是谁在公司里一直搞风搞雨太卑鄙

原来真实的社会如此不容易
原来我们和现实可以靠得那么近
那吵着改变世界的曾经
却改变了自己
一层层地戴起
嬉皮笑脸的面具

又到假期好幸运
可我已失去陪你彻夜狂欢的精力

但愿在我看不到的天明
能睡到自然醒 电话别响不停
RING RING~ 我真的不幸运

I saw the green traffic light turn on and off
But I’m going to be late for work soon
Why is there no gap within the traffic
For my car to move forward?

I don’t have a fixed time where I can leave work
I would require a lot of courage to knock off from work on time
Why is none of my colleagues packing up to go?
Oh, our boss is still down the hall.

Perhaps it’s because we’re busy dealing with having to network and socialise
Busy dealing with being suddenly arrowed
It’s understandable that people run away and escape
Things that are not our problem, we begin to subtly taichi* it away

Now we know society is difficult to deal with
Now we know that we’re getting in touch with reality
Our chants of wanting to change the world in the past
Have become such that we’ve changed ourselves
We’ve put on layers of masks, pretending that we’re happy

When it is time for our holidays, we feel so lucky,
But I’ve lost my energy to accompany you through a night out
But one day
I hope I can sleep until I wake up naturally
My phone won’t keep ringing
I would thank God

My company’s environment is extremely fake
My colleagues are bootlicking their superiors
To beg for a raise, who’s going to give me that courage
So that I can support myself and survive?

Perhaps it’s because we’re busy dealing with having to network and socialise
Busy dealing with being suddenly arrowed
We’re being attacked every time
Who’s the one causing trouble in the office, this is too despicable!

Now we know society is difficult to deal with
Now we know that we’re getting in touch with reality
Our chants of wanting to change the world in the past
Have become such that we’ve changed ourselves
We’ve put on layers of masks, pretending that we’re happy

When it is time for our holiday, I feel so lucky,
But I’ve lost my energy to accompany you through a night out
But one day
I hope I can sleep until I wake up naturally
My phone won’t keep ringing
Ring, ring
I really am unlucky
