Sometimes I take the bus to Suntec to just get to see the sunset.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Since the end of 2019 we had been adapting to the New Normal<\/em>. Can we just call the normal, normal now? I mean, it’s already at least three years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This. Whatever we have now, is normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And since I live in Singapore, not much surprises me in terms of how we need to adapt. Of course, there will be that stubbornness of “Why can’t we do it like before?” and “Can’t we just… not do it?”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But whatever, we need to suck it up, move forward and make the changes as we go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do look back at that pre-2019 times. And the ‘good old days’ which had its moments. Since we can’t go back<\/em> it doesn’t mean we can’t bring elements of it into now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I remember I used to post on livejournal nearly daily and over here on this blog it was every Monday a post. And it was fun. And especially since blogging is on a ‘decrease’… it means not many people are going to read this and thus…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m going to write whatever I want over here especially since this is<\/em> my blog. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2022, blog posts aren’t in. It’s all instastories, instagram pictures, tiktok videos. Short bite sized stuff or heck, even podcasts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

AND I AM GOING TO RELISH THIS. Because if you’re reading this, then well. It really is up to you to read it. No one’s forcing you to read it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So hello to you all. Old readers and new. What are you going to do this year?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you remember that people can actually comment on blogposts?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
