Yes, I am still alive.... Somewhat.

Hello abandoned blog of mine

It pains me to acknowledge the fact that I've left this space uncared for since a year ago. And if we are being technical here, it has definitely been more than a year since my last update. I want to blame it on everything in life from my work-hours to my lack of time and inability to juggle my ever-growing list of hobby.

In actual fact, I've just been very lazy on top of hermit-ing more than usual. I spend most of my time out of the office at home. There was a long weekend once, the Hari Raya Aidilfitri long holiday weekend, where it spanned from Saturday till Tuesday. In total, I had four days of rest. Though in that few days I could have gone on some holiday or adventure, do whatever that I want to do that I usually can't because of work. 

I did none of that. I did not leave my house at all. Instead I spent all four days at home binge watching my TV show, painting and cooking for myself. And when I say I did not leave the house, I really did not. Not even to have breakfast, lunch and/or dinner. 

And weirdly enough those four days to be absolutely therapeutic. I had moments to myself to just breathe and be for a while. I had not had such privileges for months at that point so to say that I was becoming a bit of an over-stressed grump is quite the understatement. But after those few days to myself, I was normal once again. Or at least as close as I could get to being normal.

Because only Eeyore understands me. Truly.
Though I can't believe I'm actually saying this despite me saying that I've been hermitting a lot...... My year of 2017 has been oddly eventful in a rather uncanny way. Too many things has happened for me to properly summarise them into one paragraph of this supposedly short post.

I guess I can only slowly update the happenings in my life bit by bit. That is the only way I know how to keep myself motivated to keep posting on this blog or else my interest in writing is just going to fade out yet again. Though I do admit that I do not write blog posts because I am lacking a lot in pictures, especially pretty ones, for posts because I am always too lazy to take and edit them.

But that's just an excuse and a habit that I have to break if I want to start committing to writing more posts. Not that there is anything wrong with posts that have no pictures. In fact, I don't mind it since I do enjoy reading. It's just that I know most people's attention span for the internet now is growing shorter as the year progresses and we are too spoiled with super HD pictures for more than just illustration purposes.

Luckily enough I actually made an effort when I took a mini-adventure into the city with my friends. It was a day off from work that I desperately needed after working for so long. But that's for another post to be written another day.

Now my mom just finished cooking dinner and there is a bowl of herbal soup with my name on it. There are no words that can express how good it is to just have a big bowl of piping hot home-boiled soup and rice for dinner. Brings me back to my childhood days and it makes me so happy.

Until next time..... :)

Love,
