Novelty is good
It's been a long time since I had a good day.
- 7AM / 8AM: Woke up; Looked at episode summaries for Orange is the New Black and looked up novels set in France for travel inspiration.
- 9AM: Cleaned the house in preparation for my in-laws coming over for lunch.
- 11AM: Parents-in-law are late. HY brought his kids to the playgrounds near our block. I have never spent time at the playgrounds before. It was so nice to see E and M play. E was so excited and went to all the slides and swings, until her hair stuck to her face from being so sweaty lol.
- 12PM: Ended up having lunch at the nearby mall. We went to a Japanese restaurant, since E has been obsessed with ramen lately.
- 2PM: Went to the eastern part of Singapore (Changi) to take a bumboat to Pulau Ubin. I volunteered to help pick up trash in the island. I thought I was late because I was held up at lunch, but I made it on time. I ended up being on the same boat as another volunteer and we chatted the whole time. I also met the other volunteers and everyone was so friendly. I was flooded with endorphins due to (1) being around nature; (2) doing something new; (3) being around friendly people; (4) all of the above for a good cause
- 5PM: Had a beer with some of the volunteers in Little Island Brewing Co. I hung out with 4 other ladies and had a nice time socialising.
- 7PM: Long bus ride back home which is relaxing, if you're not rushing. The bus ride was followed by a ~20 min walk and I love walks like this.
- 8PM: Tried a new recipes for dinner which HX loved. Minced beef + hoisin & oyster sauce on brown rice.
- 9PM: Cleaned up the kitchen, showered and did one load of laundry
- 10PM: In bed and journaling. Looking forward to going to bed early to recover from last week.
