Met a friend today who was my sisters classmate. 

She has been with her bf for many years and today she was telling me her bf’s house will be ready on Monday. Oh BTO I asked? She said no it’s resale. So I tot she wanted the house faster so she got resale. Ahh then you getting married soon? I replied. But she said no again, the house only her bf name cos he was 36 already and eligible to buy. Then I asked her about herself and she said she was okay not to put her name cos she will also buy one when she is 35. They have decided not to get kids so they are not very concerned about getting married. They just want separate houses so that they can live in one and rent out the other for money. Is this the trend nowadays? Not getting married cos don’t want kids? And what kind of relationship is that? Partner? Co-living? 

And then we chatted a while about my sister. She asked me if I knew that my sister was pregnant with number 2? Yeah I said I knew. Congrats to her. She has a fulfilling life. But then my friend said she’s not envious of her sister. She’s not excited. That’s good I guess? Kinda happy for her that she’s comfortable and happy and not jealous of others’ lives. As long as we all are happy I guess that’s all that matters? 

still learning to not be affected by society views. Someday (‘:

it's day 163 of year 2022!

how fast time flies!

i've officially moved into my rented apartment now for 2 months and so far the freedom is great, though my main dilemma every day is thinking about what to eat for dinner O.o but i'm really glad for more personal space to grow and heal, and thankful that i have had more time to myself. been watching tdk podcasts and really like some of the controversy topics that they bring up (': (this one really spoke to me, more thoughts on it later)

anyway the covid situation in singapore seems to have stabilized now, we've finally exited dorscon red to re-enter orange after 2+ years (havent heard that term since forever) and masks are now optional outdoors (hope i dont jinx it!) though i feel like singaporeans' attitude towards this pandemic has not changed. recently i had a scare with someone close being positive but still roaming outside because the moh says it's ok to discharge yourself on 12pm on day7. *rolls eyes* well it was legal but that doesnt make it socially right you know but lazy to say it cos we all are adults and we should be more responsible blah.

other than that life seems to have resumed with travel opening up - ive been to KL and genting already though things feel v v different now. i kinda shopped less now or felt the need to buy less things (is it a sign of maturity?) and i kinda dont have the feels to travel anymore. is it cos of the 2 year hiatus?
