Happy 56th birthday, Singapore! 🇸🇬

We didn't do anything fanciful today but instead stayed home to have an intimate family celebration. It was a day that I needed because truth be told, I am still trying to mend the pieces and move on slowly but surely.

The kids and I woke up to catch the ceremonial parade together and then my parents came over for lunch. We ordered nasi lemak for takeaway and spent the afternoon looking through my childhood pictures and all the pictures of popo that I compiled (I did it over the past few nights when I couldn't sleep). We talked about the past, talked about her final days, I told my parents about my regrets and guilt, we talked about death - something which we have never done so - but not in a morbid way. In fact, I was thankful to find out what they would like us to do for them when the day comes. The topics were heavy, but in a sense, the chats allowed me to process my grief and loss a little better and I know we are all in it together.

My dad and I then took the kids to the playground and bought bubble tea before we headed home to watch Mr Unbelievable and ate a simple steamboat dinner prepared by the hubby. We managed to take this photo before calling it a night because I now realise more than ever on how pictures are priceless and can mean so much to me.

Thank you, Singapore, for giving me this home and family that I love so much. I'm always so proud to be a part of you. ❤

We did it before, and we'll do it again.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
506 days
12,144 hours
728,640 minutes

That's how much time has passed since day 1 of our first Lockdown in Malaysia.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Being a prisoner of time and space in a confined space with 4 walls. Can you hear the ticking of the clock? Or is that in your mind? Are we losing our minds? Can you tell is real anymore? How can one be sane being stuck confined between 4 walls with time eluding us?

What time is it?
When is dinner ready?
Has it been 5 hours already?!
What day is it?
I can't remember the last time I've seen or heard from anyone.
I forgot the sound of your voice, your touch, the warmth of a hug.
Have I smiled today? I can't remember.

Time is a fickle concept. It can take you years to heal, days to grow, hours to assemble. But it can also take you a day to crumble, a minute to destroy, and a second to vaporise.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The rate of suicides and depressions has exponentially increased during these insane times. It is troubling to see that so many would choose death over life. Imagine the lives that could've been saved with a simple phone call? A text? A meal delivered to their door?

We're all going through our personal battles and we're all at different stages of those battle. Some may be winning those battles and some are struggling. Be kind to everyone because you'll never know if the next words that come out of your mouth would be their saving grace or their next step 6 feet under.

Call up your friend. Facetime a family member. Send food to a colleague.

Not all superheroes wear capes.
