It’s still somewhat cool in the evenings and mornings that it’s totally worth it to wake up earlier than usual on a weekend and have breakfast al fresco.

I needed to see the sky and trees. I need to clear my head.

Good thing I already have my house so I don’t have to worry about rent and moved back home for lower cost of living. This gives me some flexibity in terms of career choices or else I will be twisting and turning in bed because of finacial worries. I basked in that knowledge and tried to enjoy my breakfast by the trees.

After cleaning up, I went to my desk and manually computed my cost of living. It’s actually a fourth of my current income, including some savings. But the cost-cutting I did on paper was really brutal. This is the scenario just in case I go back to academe and not be allowed to practice my profession i.e. journalism on the side.

But I’m not there yet. Not yet.

I have set up a lunchdate on Tuesday with another PR friend who owns his agency. I told him I need to pick his brains. Let’s see if this will help clear some cobwebs.

I know I will be in for another beating from my boss tomorrow. Oh Lord, she will be in HK as well 🤦🏻‍♀️
