We’re three months into 2024 and this year has started, and continues to be, a hectic and stressful one for me. I’ve been trying so hard to keep up but the demands comes in wave after wave. I’ve been almost desperately seeking little breaks and pauses whenever I can, especially during the short weekends and when I’m able to, a half day off here and there.

Taking time off means I have to catch up with reality when I return, but working full time for long enough has taught me that nothing is more important than prioritising health and being kind enough to myself to take breaks when needed. :)

[*UPDATE JAN 2025: Little Oasis has closed, with its last day of operations on 26 January 2025. Will miss this cafe so much. 💚]

One of my favourite places in Singapore which to me, is the epitome of taking a break, is Little Oasis. :) Even their name fits perfectly! A few years ago, I shared a post about this cozy cafe (link here) when they were at their previous location in Everton Park. In early 2023, they moved to another cozy space inside the wonderful Grassroots Book Room bookstore, which is also another great place to take a break and check out their wonderful selection of titles!

It felt fitting to reshare this delightful cafe again in 2024 and if you too, need a break from life’s stresses or just a lovely place to enjoy a peaceful moment and some delicious bakes and tea/coffee, this cafe is perfect. :)
(*Please note there is no wifi here and sometimes, your phone or data connection gets cut off too (old building I’m told!), so not ideal for computer use if you need the internet. I actually think this is part of the charm and allows you to truly switch off, buy a book from the bookstore and just read.)

The cafe is pretty popular, especially during the weekends, but I came by Little Oasis early on a weekday and managed to snap a few photos before people started streaming in! :) How has 2024 been for you so far and tell me, where do you like to go or what do you like to do to take a break? :)
