🗨️ Sorry I'm Late, I Didn't Want to Come by Jessica Pan 💭 … I've been a fan of Jessica Pan since her first book, Graduates in Wonderland (co-authored with Rachel Kapelke-Dale). I read that book when I graduated university, so it seems very fitting that I just finished this book, right when I'm about to start a new job very soon (ahh the nerves)! . In a nutshell, this book is about Jess, who is a "shy introvert" trying various activities and challenging herself to extrovert for a year, and documents her entire experience. I loved reading about her year and the people she meets and mentors she talks to – it's very funny, the writing feels like listening to a relatable friend and I found the taking on of these adventures incredibly brave. I mean, it really does take something to get out of our comfort zones! . Really enjoyed this book and will recommend it for both introverts or extroverts! 5/5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Today marks my 5th year anniversary of moving back Today marks my 5th year anniversary of moving back to Singapore! 💫 26 June 2017, I said goodbye to Hong Kong and still to this day, miss aspects of my life there. But Singapore has been great for me and is home now. 😊

5 years back in SG has let me start another new chapter and offered me plenty of new experiences and challenges. I've been through successes, failures and standstills. It hasn't been easy, that's for sure, but I'm happy to share that at this 5 year mark, I'm finally in a contented, balanced and happy place. 😊 It definitely took work, trial and error and heaps of God's blessings, but I'm here. 🌻

HK, you're always a special place to me, so hopefully, I'll get to see you again soon. 💖
🍀 February 2022 🌻 *Feb was such a full month 🍀 February 2022 🌻
*Feb was such a full month! It was also a month that marked the closing of one chapter and the beginning of another. 😊 Some of my favourite moments:
- Lovely drawings at @natmuseum_sg and wanting to buy so many of the related merch from the museum shop (I didn't!)
- Lovely lunches/dinners + great people & conversations. Incredibly grateful for the people in my life. 🌟
- The cutest exhibition featuring @angkukuehgirl
- Visiting a very nostalgic restaurant @oldschooldelights - brings back all my childhood memories!
- Pink skies 💗
- Attended a tour of the 'Mapping the World' exhibition at @nlb.singapore - fascinating and insightful! 

Other moments that couldn't fit in here: my first VR experience at the ArtScience Museum, shopping and gifts and more new books! 😄 Ending the month with a thankful heart.
