Woke up today definitely feeling much better, meeting up with a friend to talk through what I had been going through had been really helpful.
Headed out for work a bit later than usual because the thought of going into an empty office with no one around is now a bit upsetting to me, especially after catching up with my ex-colleague at the furniture store yesterday and realizing just how important having a happy pill colleague in the office really is.
As I was on the way to work, I decided to drop by this donut shop at Whampoa and got myself 4 mini donuts for breakfast.
They were pretty good.
There is also this new cafe that opened up and I have been going there for my Matcha fix, and have gone so many times that the lady boss now recognizes me and will literally tell me my order without me having to say anything. It's a quaint little store, but I am really worried that it might not last very long....
So here I am, waiting for my drink, it was around 10am by the time I was in this cafe, I am suppose to be in the office at 9.30am, but honestly, no one is keeping track because the office is going to be empty anyways, so might as well take advantage of that, plus my boss is also aware that I haven't been doing so well mentally, so even if he knew I was late, he probably wouldn't say anything, and by that, I mean I am generally a well behaved employee so there is nothing for him to be worried about me taking advantage of our arrangement.
I did decide to get a different drink today and went for the Genmaicha, which was actually pretty good as well, it wasn't super sweet so it was a good match with the donuts.
My morning at work was pretty unproductive, I was just playing CNA Live to have some background noise, I didn't want to listen to the songs I had been listening to the past few weeks because music transports me back in time, and the music that I had been listening to, especially Lady Gaga's current album, will remind me of that initial hopeful and then final stretch of heartbreak and depressive period in my life for the month of May into early June.
Around afternoon, my boss came over and picked me up to go for a site visit at Alexandra, where I had my first meet up with that person, the good thing is I am not falling into bouts of extreme sadness anymore, I do still feel a bit sad from time to time when I think about them, but my friend whom I met yesterday dropping me occasional text messages on the phone to chat about random stuff helped, anyways, I digress...
This is the same client we had met on Saturday, we visited them again...
...this is the view from the clients window, which I thought was pretty cool, even though their view is technically blocked, it is a pretty nice building to be looking at.
The site visit / meeting took like 2 hours, but luckily, I wasn't drenched in sweat this time around, the weather this time round isn't scorching hot, so place isn't as hot and humid as another site I had visited a few weeks back where I was just completely drenched.
Site visit ended at around 2.30pm, so my boss then drove us to Wisma Atria for lunch, which I paid for because it's his birthday and I just thought it's appropriate to treat him...
... the meal was pretty cheap, this was only $13, for something like this in town to only be $12 is cheap and it was filling as fuck. The only complaint I have about the tonkatsu is that it isn't a full chunk of meat but instead done Mille Feuille style, so it was slices of meat layered together to resemble a full slap of meat, it was very tender because of the Mille Feuille method, but I really wanted to have that bite.
My boss had originally told me he will pay for this lunch and I can treat him to a cake at Awfully Chocolate after, but we really didn't have any space left for dessert, so I paid for this meal instead. He told me I could just go home from there, but unfortunately, I still had stuff in the office, so we ended up going back together and I just stayed in the office till the end of the day.
It was once again very unproductive, I was so tired mentally to do anything, plus the meal also made me actually want to sleep, my boss did stay around till 6.00pm, so I wasn't completely alone. I was blasting a lot of Utada Hikaru and Yuna Ito because I haven't heard of their songs in awhile, and it's just helpful to play a different genre of music so I won't be reminded of that that person and everything associated with it.
That's how my Wednesday went, definitely felt an improvement in my mood.
