"The way you suffered, allow you to see the suffering around you" - #QuellcristFalconer, from #AlteredCarbon2 ep6 #trauma #mentalstrength #growth

Even before João Félix kicked the ball, my husband knew he would miss. You need someone more experienced and can take the pressure of such a game. This is the manager's fault.

@bryangohey Have you found the One?

[𝕊𝕚𝕞𝕠𝕟𝕖 𝕎𝕦 @simonester]

Parents watching their kids playing football always seem to want to demonstrate their football skills, and would readily return a loose ball to the field with a seamless kick. It me too. And I don't even play. LOL

Sold out online in SG but TBH these designs are pretty basic. #unpopularopinion

Changing the logo feels wrong. I miss the bird already. But I feel warm and fuzzy inside, knowing I’ll see it again whenever my fam rewatches The Emoji Movie.

We liked using a circles to construct our drawings, it felt like the bird should have an underlying neutrality and simplicity about it

This is what happens when I WFH for too long: I went to the office for a day to see my colleagues, and I can’t keep my mouth shut, dishing out advice left, right, and centre.

[𝕊𝕚𝕞𝕠𝕟𝕖 𝕎𝕦 @simonester]

A colleague had trouble cutting through a birthday cake with a plastic knife. And I went, “You need a metal knife; run it under hot water, and you’ll slice through the cake effortlessly.”

A young cousin wants to know why I would think she would be compatible with a colleague I was thinking of setting her up with because she can be 'difficult'. Girl, you are not difficult. You know what you want. You are decisive', 'determined', and 'assertive'.

Also me after watching Fubar: "That's it and that's all!"

[𝕊𝕚𝕞𝕠𝕟𝕖 𝕎𝕦 @simonester]

My takeaway from watching docuseries "Arnold": Schwarzenegger has a lot of good punchlines!

The opening music performance for
#ChampionsLeagueFinal #UCLfinal was just sad and outdated. Have these folks seen K-pop performances? Anyway, why do we even need an opening music number before a football match? So unnecessary.

“Every man or woman who is sane, every man or woman who has the feeling of being a person in the world, and for whom the world means something, every happy person, is in infinite debt to a woman.”

People come and go, but the passing of Pelé (82yo) and Vivienne Westwood (81yo) on the same day somehow feels like a bit too much. Maybe also because it just reminds me that I'm probably at the halfway mark (41yo). If I'm lucky.

Not quite "any time I want" but pretty close. The Covid-19 pandemic changed everything, and now I am enjoying flexible, hybrid work arrangements.

[𝕊𝕚𝕞𝕠𝕟𝕖 𝕎𝕦 @simonester]

Real luxury is having the freedom to be with your family any time you want.

[𝕊𝕚𝕞𝕠𝕟𝕖 𝕎𝕦 @simonester]

One year on, and I realised that at that point, I had forgotten who I am. What I like wearing, etc. My mind was foggy. I could not focus. Relieved to say that I'm somewhat back. So, I lean into extremes. Either I wear black or colourful outfits.

[𝕊𝕚𝕞𝕠𝕟𝕖 𝕎𝕦 @simonester]

Someone asked me what I would wear for my best self. I just quickly replied, something in black. I realised I couldn't give a true answer because I don't know what it is.

[𝕊𝕚𝕞𝕠𝕟𝕖 𝕎𝕦 @simonester]

Also realised I'm always in my work clothes. And I only have work clothes, even though they are semi-formal. It's either that or 'mum outfits". I'm stuck in a psychological rut of some kind.

[𝕊𝕚𝕞𝕠𝕟𝕖 𝕎𝕦 @simonester]

And yes, there was this one time I unintentionally fell asleep while hiding during a hide-and-seek session. I was lying in a rolled up, padded kiddy play mat.

[𝕊𝕚𝕞𝕠𝕟𝕖 𝕎𝕦 @simonester]

Sure, Kiddo. Mummy can count till 60 so you can find a decent spot to hide. By all means, take 5 mins. You're welcome. It's because Mummy loves you so much. (Gonna lie down and hope not to fall asleep.) #mumtip

One brilliant thing secondhand luxury bag shops is good for: They let you see how certain bags would age and disintegrate.

[𝕊𝕚𝕞𝕠𝕟𝕖 𝕎𝕦 @simonester]

Incoming call from an unknown number. Decides not to pick up. Proceeds to spend next 10 mins searching for said number in all my email accounts, and then googling it. Number still unknown. Who are you and what do you want??

The most inspiring part(s) for me about Wakanda Forever was Angela Bassett's toned arms.

Saw The Gray Man and thought it's great that Callan Mulvey finally has a more prominent supporting role.
