Sunday Stickies // 5 June 2016

Sunday Stickies is a column where we reflect on the past week and pen those thoughts down on sticky pads. Expect notes to ourselves and others, advice, reminders for the week ahead, quotes, and anything random actually.

Hello, June!

Woah, it is June already? How did six months zip pass us just like that? Time sure has a way of creeping up on us and then slipping quickly through our fingers. We hope the past half year has been extremely fruitful for you as it has been for us! Otherwise, there's another six months to go to make 2016 the best year yet. 

We are embarking on project Vegetarian Lunch in June! If you have read any of our earlier Sunday Stickies in 2015, you may remember that we love our veggies and would occasionally be totally vegetarian for lunch. Well, it has been a good half year and we are finally bringing Vegetarian Lunch back. Cheers to better health in the second half of 2016!

Min: After the previous hectic week, I am so thankful for a relatively slow week in the office and the chance to clear my huge stack of finance reports. It feels so good to cross a thousand and one things off my to-do-list. There is always something more urgent that needs to be done. And that is how I have accumulated a huge pile in my 'in' tray. I wish I was more efficient so I can get things done at light speed. Zoom zoom. 

I am not very good with numbers and neither am I an expert at Excel. So I took a real long time to finish my accounts. All that =SUM =MINUS =MULTIPLY and data variations made my eyes wonky and my brain was so fried that I kept spelling 'multiply' as 'mulitply'. Excel/accounting experts, if you have any special or secret formula to make accounting life easier, kindly share them with me! I will love you to the moon and back. <3

Jia: I'm starting to feel really old now that we have made it to June so darn quickly. Doesn't it feel like time slips by faster the older you get? It is like you can feel wrinkles forming and your skin sagging as the clock ticks away. I was staring at my face under the intense glare of the sun today (at the DBS Marina Regatta) and was totally horrified by my deepening fine lines. Cue sad weepy emoji. Sun protection is important, my friends. Remember to carry your sunscreen with you everywhere!

I am also super happy that Min and I are embarking on our vegetarian lunch campaign again as my skin really needs more greens and water for radiance. Getting old is tough and ageing gracefully is an even tougher uphill battle. Ah, the trials and tribulations of life.
