my unrealistic day in my life

my unrealistic day in my life

my unrealistic day in my life

my unrealistic day in my life..

with the possibility of teleportation, no siesta..... and if money grew on trees

0600 am

workout with my best friends

Nothing feels better than waking up early and paying to get yelled at to run. This is my guilty pleasure... barrys redroom

 breakfast with mom @ 东亞 Eating House 

traditional singaporean breakfast....... nothing is more nostalgic, the aunties here served my mom in her twenties and now me (in my twenties). This place is an institution, the soft boiled eggs are unmatched. more spillage the better (preferably not on the table).

swimming with dogs @ Camp Cove 

Growing up in Singapore beaches were a luxury vacation activity. Now living in Sydney I take it for granted, I should go more often. Im reading the alchemist strictly only at the beach (so it's taking a while to finish) but it is a quantitative note of how long I spend at the beach. A side hustle I took on, taking care of furry friends and the perfect beach companion.

grocery run with 妈妈

Its more than just grocery shopping. This is the time where my mom and I spend the most time together, with the occasional fight about pretentious milk (aka MILK LAB almond milk and why its $6).

maple latte with almond milk (large duh) @ Paramount House Hotel

Nothing beats an iced maple almond latte and a place to people-watch, relax, do life admin, and journal away (even though half of my journal entries are scribbles and to-do lists). Bustling with creatives, I feel comfortable here. It's where productivity meets comfort.

stand under the piazza @ Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, Milan 

I only just need 5 minutes here, thats all. The most impressive glass cladding in a longtime.

FOH shift @ Vicious Cycle (maybe a cheeky ride too if energy permits)

This place is very new for me, front of house (I am shy). I keep coming back because of the community and my best friend is an instructor here!!!!

Mario kart championship with friends. 

This ritual kept me sane during architecture school.  there's nothing more fulfilling to the mind than coming home and getting all that hidden angst before bed with a good old game of mario kart.
