Today is Ash Wednesday, which means that Lent has begun. I didn’t realise! But the good thing is that I set a reminder in my calendar. I know as customs dictate, I’m meant to give up meat but that is not an option right now. So instead, I’m going to give up chocolate for the … Continue reading Dear diary: Lent has begun
I like the beginning of the year because there are so many more public holidays; hence, more guilt-free, relaxing time off work. But… I actually did a lot over the last 3 days and feel absolutely exhausted! On Saturday, I went to the city to find some souvenirs to send off to some relatives in … Continue reading Dear diary: Farewell Labour day long weekend
And for what? Because of this!: This little plastic bottle of spray has the most A-M-A-Z-I-N-G fragrance I have EVER smelt in my entire life! It’s just gorgeous and I love it so, so much! I’m a sucker for caramel and this has the deepest and richest scent and it just sits on my skin … Continue reading Dear Diary: I broke Project Pan
I can't say that I wasn't disappointed, but sometimes things are out of my control and I have to deal with it. Most of my day was pretty good... for a work day. I had an interesting walk to the train station: I don't think I've ever seen a mattress barricade before. I'm not sure … Continue reading Dear Diary: Happy Valentine’s Day to me
Marble is officially a member of the family! I didn't think that I would own another pet, especially after my beautiful little Japanese Spitz Mana passed away in 2021. It was too traumatic for me... and probably the first real heartbreak that I had ever experienced. Living without her for over a year was difficult … Continue reading Dear Diary: I adopted a cat!
I was actually meant to go last year but life things happened and I had to postpone it until today. It’s been a long time since I’ve needed to get a filling (especially with the amount of sugar that I’ve eaten over the years), so I was surprised that I ended up getting two today! … Continue reading Dear Diary: I survived the first dentist visit of the year
I know I don’t celebrate Chinese new year but being the believer I am in all things astrology, I am so glad it’s a snake year. Apparently (well, according to google and TikTok), I’ve been in some crazy 13 year bad luck streak and it’s meant to end this year. So… I could sure use … Continue reading Dear Diary: I welcome the year of the Snake
How fast did the month go?! I mean, I shouldn’t be surprised it’s a bit of a blur - half of it was disrupted by annual leave and public holidays. I’m happy and sad about it. I liked the fact that there was barely any traffic on the road, but hated that the shops were … Continue reading Dear Diary: What an end to January
The first long weekend of the year and it was hot, humid and went by super fast. I spent the majority of my time south of the river but there was just no reprieve from the weather. Even though I felt totally zapped of energy, I’m glad I managed to fit in some exercise. Walking … Continue reading Dear Diary: The long weekend was not long enough
OMG it is SO hot! Today the temperature hit 43 degrees and boy am I feeling it. I left work around 3ish and the little hairs on my arms felt like they were burning off. I ended up using my umbrella to walk to the train station so I wasn’t in direct sun. I probably … Continue reading Dear Diary: Let this heatwave end!
