Xmas 2023

I spent my xmas with G. We went orchard raod to see xmas lights. But weather was rainy. There was not much xmas deco.

We mainly ate, drink, spent 20 bucks playing the scooping arcade game.

Walked alot, my heel was aching from my run yesterday (ran 10km in 1h50mins yay though walked last 500m).

In the end, came back bedok and bought 2 shirts at uniqlo. She bought 2 dresses at yuer.

I realised i dont really know what to do - i cannot eat alot. Skipped dinner as G treated me to a mac salted caramel mcflurry.

I have so much but dont feel anything. 

I should be content i have a roof, can eat, sleep, breathe, walk, poo and pee.

We dont need to buy to feel fulfilled. Spending whatever time i have with loved ones ia my priority.

Xmas eve

Blogging down some random thoughts as the year end drew nearer.

I remembered I was pretty sick last year when I got a very bad cold and cough which led me to postponement of my op.

Gratitude

Dunno if ys went with me on the trips. 

Today gg to wander around aimlessly then go home rest then run this evening.

Ran 9km

Today I finally jogged 9km for the first time, in 1h 39min.

Am training for a 10km marathon run in April 24. If I ran 10km, it should take 1hr 50min.

Trying to just run the distance at a comfortable pace, to build up my stamina. 

Hope i can continue this. This is after a tiring day out with geoky to pray to 还太岁, and shopping at tampines. 

Bought a long patch pants and a top.

5 more months and I will be free.

Last da ri zi

Today will be the last 大日子 ever.

Mum and G cooked and bought a lot of food, to repay the deities.

Brought tears as I remembered how we conducted our da ri zi in the past 13 years.

I would wake up, eat bf and made coffee with last night hot water. Cos he would brew tea. He then spent the whole morning making tea while I made myself using, arranging the furnitures, taking out the utensils and plastic bags, and stools.

Then I will dabao simple fare for him. He usually has no appetite. 

Then our 明坛 members ah keong, yun qing, yaba, their 2 sons, sometimes lampei...lao go ye, would gather.

We would quickly put the dishes in place. Then the rituals start. He lit the incense and we took turns to pay respects.

Then we go into the room.
