Half Way Through, Looking Forward to the Rest of 2024

Hi.

Do you ever get writer's block where you stare blankly at the screen, keep typing on that keyboard, and then delete it for a few minutes or even hours? That's currently me. It's been so long since I last consistently wrote on this blog that I forgot how to write. Heck, I don't even deserve to call it writer's block as I no longer deserve to call myself a writer anymore.. yet.

Today is just that day again when I suddenly felt the urge to write, and I just wanted to write randomly about things that popped up in my head. I did this sometimes in the past and to me, it's a useful way to try getting back on track on this blog.

Let's start with the 'not-wanting-to-get-married' me finally got married in March.. yeayy! 2nd March, to be exact. As a typical girl, it's a date I would remember.. hopefully. Though it's merely just three months into married life, I could say that marriage is not all rainbows. There's rain and thunderstorms first to get through. However, having someone I could depend on, someone who actually cares about me, someone who guides me, is a positive addition to my life.

Having finally graduated from my part-time Master's study. I felt that I had all the time in the world to do whatever I wanted to do.. on the weekend. I spent time with family and friends. I spent the day as lazily as I could. I went for vacations and holidays. It was fun, and I hope it will continue that way - having free weekends.

Despite moving on to another phase in my life, I found that travelling is still my number one favourite activity. I went to Hatyai-Songkla in January and then to Bali in March for my honeymoon. I visited local attractions too which I plan to share with you guys.. in another entry.. when I feel like to, tehee.

There was this one time a colleague went on a work trip with her boss and she shared that the boss would always have a book with her and she read whenever she was free. On another occasion, my boss is also an avid reader. He would always quote a phrase or tell a story from the books he read to us. These bosses are older people, which made me question how come I, as a younger generation couldn't do so. 

I felt that I left reading as a hobby a long time ago, which is not cool. In fact, in getting inspiration, I read a few entries from other bloggers before I started writing this post. I also read my old posts and I found joy in reading. Specifically, I relieved joy in reading. Let's read. It benefits us in so many ways.

What have you guys been up to nowadays?

Till then,

Lya.
