silly story & thoughts about work

*after her shower
how nice to have clean, nice clothes to wear

(she slips but didn't full fall as her left foot caught the ridges in the bathroom floor)

phew, I almost died...

did you know there's so many ways to die? 
Oh, and now I have something to blog again hahaha

That'll probably be a dumb way to die.
Glad I'm alive to tell another one of my silly, clumsy stories.

Am I always clumsy? Or did my Mom or people kept saying it when I was younger causing it to be a self-fulfilling prophecy?
Is that what people who grow up to be beautiful and confident have in their younger days? People who kept calling them good looking?

oh you handsome boy, you pretty girl.. you'll grow up to be loved by many..

Is that what people used to say? I don't know because I got the other end of the stick.

The last couple of days with covid have got me not knowing what my plans are for tomorrow.
I can't go to work because I'm working with children and we're now in crucial exam period.

Most parents still prefer physical to zoom lessons. 
I get that too.

I miss working.
I miss interaction with the kids and learning something new from them.

They teach me so much.

So it was nice when one of my students' Mom text me to plan our schedule for the next few lessons. 
It's nice to feel important for a bit. Especially when I like what I'm doing.

I write all that to encourage you to find what you love doing and keep doing it.

Giving back is meaningful. Helping others in meaningful. 
Doing work that is important to you is meaningful.

What work do you do and do you find it meaningful?

Was feeling a little poor after paying off two big ticket items. Went grocery shopping with my boyfriend and this is what we saw. Ahead of us in the queue was an old man. He held a white plastic bag with 2 packets of biscuits inside. He flicked the receipt as he waited in line. He was going to exchange the items. In the basket that he's now placed at the conveyor belt at the cashier was 3 loaves of bread. The cashier scanned the 3 loaves of bread. Isn't it 3 for $3.30? I saw the sign there 3 for $3.30. Cashier lady: No, that's not the sign for that one, the 3 for $3.30 is the small ones. Is it? But the sign there put 3 for $3.30. Next time you need to place one staff there to tell people which one is 3 for $3.30. Cashier lady: So you still want the bread? No, not 3 for $3.30 then never mind, he sighed as he pulled his trolley that was overflown with plastic bags of items which made his home and walked away. ): Our grocery items amounted to $36.65. I used a $10 Fairprice vou

You’ve got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle. - Steve Jobs' 2005 Stamford Commencement Address --- I'm enjoying where I am and what I do. I hope you find what you love in 2024. Don't settle. Happy 2024!

gratitude for today

/personal Feeling like you made it but you didn't. Still got to give it to myself for making the move. Making the move to quit on a job I was no longer growing in. Making a move to bring my parents for a trip. I'm sitting here in the living room of the home for tonight, an Airbnb we booked.  Bro and parents asleep in the room. I'm filled with immense gratitude we made it. We did it fam. We did.  To the 10 year old Brienne,  look! Zhe Zhe brought us overseas!  And bonus, with parents and bro! To the Bree a year ago, I'm proud of you.  You awesome little piece of shit, I'm so freaking proud of you. The world out there is your oyster Work hard, manifest abundance Go get it!
