It's Me Time

Having lived life frenziedly (for what seemed like the longest time), i realised how little "me" time i've had - Time to myself that is not spent on doing work or catching on sleep.

Today, i decided to pick up a book to read. One that i didn't have to do a presentation or literature review on. A book that i can freely read, just for leisure.

So i decided to drop by books actually and honestly, i never knew how a book store could be so therapeutic. i'm not a books person simply because i'm often too lazy to read and prefer subscribing myself to bite-size updates that are easily available online. But today, i plowed through this intriguing stash...



And found myself coming back to the heart of literature. i was inspired by the interesting works, the courage to write the unconventional and the nostalgic attachment to the familiar. i happily browsed through the titles and was lost in my own literary world.

After an hour and much deliberation, i finally picked out 3 selections which i can't wait to start reading!

Then, i had lunch by myself at a really nice cafe nearby.



The interior is very cozy and there were few people inside. Just the way cafes should be. The problem with singapore is that it is so hard to find a quiet place to chill.



And let time slip by...



My simple fare of sandwich and strawberry milkshake. Although the sandwich was rather tough lol, i had a quiet time to myself, away from the outside world.

October passed too quickly. But i guess it's all good because i'm going to recharge myself soon, in my favourite place in the world.

'Till then.
