Birthday Staycation

 3 days 2 nights at The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore.

A much needed break away from everyone for my mental health. I could feel myself getting agitated at the slightest thing and constantly suppressing my own emotions and thoughts, for the fear of exploding, which will only lead to a long-winded unnecessary confrontation that I know will send me spiraling into my endless vortex. 

It was nice to just be cooped up inside, binge-watching 'Alice' - a Korean TV drama about time-travel, and just draw 72 quick portraits to kickstart my drawing needs. Came up with a new inspiration of drawing quick portraits with patterns as the backgrounds. I need to commit myself to these drawings to distract and balance my emotions and thoughts. I need to be invested in this idea of mine and accomplish it. In Shaa' Allah, I will stick to it.

On an another note - the next time I decide to book a staycation, it has to be a minimum of 5 days 4 nights. I need more time to destress myself and feel totally at ease. Or hopefully, the world will begin to heal and I can travel overseas next year September or October.
