Well that was an unfortunate start to a new beginning....

Hey guys! I know in my previous blog I was all gung-ho (side note:did you guys know that this is an actual English word? I've always thought it was Mandarin or something) about living my life to the fullest for my last break, yada yada yada. But guess what? Yesterday, when I was about to drive to my neighbourhood gym (yes, I wanted to drive to the clubhouse gym in my housing area cause I thought 500m was too much of a walk), my car broke down! It started making a weird sound and it just died! I mean I don't know much about cars so that really freaked me out. Apart from that, I was supposed to pick my mum and step dad from the airport later that evening.

So, I did what any "independent" child would do and called my mum. I explained to her the situation and she told me it might be the car battery. It was a Sunday so there was nothing much I could do about it. I proceeded to walk to the gym. And yes, it did felt quite far and did a 2km jog on the treadmill. Mind you, I am not the fittest person out there so 2 km was a good start for me.

So I got home, showered and went to the kitchen cause I was hungry. I don't know what is it with me and food these days but I just feel like nibbling on something all the time! I guess that's what happens when I have nothing to do with my life. But the good news is, I've been starting to cook. I don't think anyone knows this about me considering how I hardly go to the kitchen (apart from when I want to eat), I actually enjoy cooking! Or at least I enjoy watching any cooking program and the food channel. If I was given a choice to make a living of what I love, it would probably be cooking! Now why am I not pursuing that dream? Probably cause I don't think anyone would pay for it....But that's besides the point. So yesterday, I made agile olio pasta! I know that's nothing special but hey, you gotta start somewhere right? Call me narcissistic but I actually do enjoy eating the things that I cook. But one of the reasons why I don't cook often is because I don't particularly enjoy cooking with my mum. She's a great cook and all but I just prefer doing things at my own pace and my own way. Also, we usually don't have the ingredients for the kind of food that I want to cook.

Anyway this morning, I went to the mechanic to get my car fixed. Turns out it is just the battery. The last time I got it changed was exactly two years ago apparently. After that, I went home and read. I'm currently reading #GIRLBOSS by Sophia Amaoruso. If you guys don't know who she is, she is the founder of NASTY GAL, a clothing brand. And I find it inspiring how she literally started from nothing. I've always thought of venturing into running a business but the thing is, I'm no where near innovative enough to come up with my own ideas! I guess that's why I'm a lawyer right? HAHA. But running a business has always been at the back of my mind. Who knows, maybe one day it might happen. But till then, I guess a girl could dream and I shall stick to law. See ya!
