Aftermath.

Thought it would be nice to check in with my life lately.

Great news, after the breast cancer episode, mother is safe and healthy, well almost.

She underwent a minor op to remove the tumor in January and currently she’s undergoing radiotherapy (20 sessions apparently). Hopefully, the cancer cells would be removed entirely after these sessions. That’s a relief.

Work has been alright, I think my boss is actually making me do more work because I’m too free…? It’s a happy problem really. I’m keeping a look out for jobs that challenges me but in the mean time, ngl this job is VERY VERY VERY comfortable. I reckon it’s a good detox for my mental health to stay here for the time being. Has it been 9 months? I couldn’t tell really.

Been trying to keep fit by running at least thrice a week with my brother. Yes, with my brother because he is going to enroll into NS next year and he’d hate to enter 2 months early for being unfit. So there’s that. Oh, he failed his trial theory test (for driving) twice now. Fingers crossed he passes his test on his third attempt this weekend. Chauffeuring him back and forth to the driving centre every weekend isn’t exactly what I signed up for.

Oh! And mother got us a new car.

Let me correct that, ANOTHER new car. It’s a sweet ride so…yay? But wow do I miss driving. I got to admit, I’m not the best driver but practice makes perfect? HAHA I drive mostly at night when there’s no cars (and no one is there to judge my parking skills or lack thereof). Kidding, I’ve actually been driving mother to the supermarket during the weekends. Never mind her harping on my reckless driving skills, I kind of enjoy helping her run errands. I suppose, I do miss her so I guess I’m just paying my dues that I missed for the past few years.

Dating has been…an eye-opening experience.

Like I kind of have a love-hate relationship with modern day dating. Is it me or it seems like the guys I meet seem to just… want to fuck? I think it’s a Tinder issue. Or so I thought. Either way, I got banned on Tinder. I KNOW. WTF. It’s like the heavens decided that Tinder is the worst place for me to meet people and just two weeks on Tinder, bam, I’m banned. Obviously, I’m not a quitter so I tried to appeal for the ban to be lifted but apparently it doesn’t work like that. So there’s that.

Either way, dating has been actually kind of fun. Appalling and traumatic but yes, fun.

Meeting new people at least. Horny people? It’s mad really, but interesting. Is it odd that I seem to be able to identify red flags much better now? It’s crazy but I’m really amazed at my newfound ability. Either way, we’ll see how this dating thing goes. I reckon now that I’m older, it’s good to step out of my comfort zone through these experiences either way. I mean, what’s the worst that can happen, a stranger abducting me out on a date? Pfft. Not happening.

Also, a close friend is getting married in a couple of months and we have a trip planned for her bachelorette’s party. Can you imagine, travelling after 2 FREAKING YEARS. I could almost cry. Thank the heavens.

On the side note, it seems like everyone is getting married or having kids and here I am, waddling.

I’d like to think that everything will fall in place in its own time and I’d hate to make the worst mistake of my life just cause everyone else is doing it. Do I have a fear of commitment? I highly doubt that. I just need to be absolutely sure…? Oh wells.

Perhaps the next post will be about the trip. Stay tuned and stay safe everyone.

Cheers,
