Just like riding a bike…

Published on March 15, 2021March 14, 2021 by Yinglan2 Comments

A few weeks back, I won the grand prize at a prize drawing at work. I was honestly shocked when the HR department contacted me. I did not expect I’d win, let alone read the announcement that listed the grand prize.

Published on March 8, 2021March 8, 2021 by Yinglan22 Comments

After a sucky and busy 2020, which caused me to miss the AtoZ Challenge, I am determined to make a come back in 2021 with a theme that had been circulating in my head since I finished the challenge in 2019. Before I reveal the theme for my 5th participation in this challenge, let have a look back at my previous themes:

Living Life Backwards

Published on March 5, 2021March 4, 2021 by Yinglan7 Comments

I had my monthly one-on-one with my supervisor this week. It went well. I told her the things I am currently working on. She was pleased with my speed at completing the tasks needed to close out the month (financially speaking). I also told her about the one-on-one with Mr. CFO the week before. “We talk about you all the time.” She said.

I feel so conflicted

Published on March 1, 2021February 28, 2021 by Yinglan2 Comments

I feel so conflicted at times when someone reminds me that I’m a grown woman and don’t need permission from anyone to leave the house or go do the things I like, except somehow I do.

Those Darn Meddlers…

Published on February 25, 2021February 25, 2021 by Yinglan6 Comments

I have a problem with people meddling into people’s lives. Isn’t there a saying – “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”? I think this applies to meddling as well. According to my personal experience and all those movies and TV shows I’ve watched over the year, I don’t think there’s ever been a scenario where meddling ended well.

My Current Dilemma

Published on February 22, 2021February 21, 2021 by Yinglan16 Comments

This prompt word for this week’s Weekly Prompts Weekend Challenge is Divorce. For the past few weeks, I have been dealing with something that has something with my mom’s divorce from my step-dad. It’s been weighing on me and I’m hoping to talk to someone about this. Alas, there’s literally no one I can talk to in my real life about this.

Stress Talk #8: System Malfunction

Published on February 8, 2021February 7, 2021 by Yinglan1 Comment

It turned out this past weekend was that time of the year again – tax filing time. I hate that time of the year, right after the health insurance buying period (November 1 – mid-December). Even though she claims she knows more about taxes than me, my mom cannot file a single tax return without calling me over to help.

Stress Talk #7: Deja Vu

Published on January 8, 2021January 8, 2021 by Yinglan12 Comments

Here we are, number 7 in this series. The last one was right before the new year. I didn’t think I’d do one this week but here we are – first week of 2021 – and I’m already stressed. Surprise, surprise. I almost sleep-walked two nights ago so that’s a sign.
