Sooo many things have happened since I was sick 😷.. I got a house mate, I got a permanent position at my job, anddd I realised I have not started packing for my overseas trip 😱..

I have been sick as a dog these last few days.. so apologies for my slightly more nasally and American (?) sounding voice 😂… I am finally renting out my place to someone else and I am not looking forward to sharing my space 🥲.. but alas I need the money. I also update you on my crazy neighbours and all the money I spent on cameras to catch them doing illegal stuffs…

Basically I tell you about the struggle of my week.. dealing with lack of sleep, pimples, weight gain, and my crazy neighbours are back again and stealing my water! Thinking about burnout again and realising I have less tolerance for toxic people and behaviours.

It’s been a tough week 😭😭… So many decisions to make… and not enough sleep doesn’t help… Also, I gave up on recycling my 10 cent bottles…

Should we take advantage of the “fresh start” we call a NEW year? Do you have New Year resolutions? Whether to get healthy, eat healthier, or to work out more.. we all try our best at the start and then maybe it goes down hill from there 🤪. See my resolutions this year by going to howtoadultwithjoy.wordpress.com

Merry Belated Christmas ~! How was your Christmas? I’ll tell you all about mine back in my hometown.. I experienced some FOMO while I was away… also the new year is coming.. I talk about some new year resolutions.

I went to the most extra wedding In Melbourne 😌. No expense spared… bubble tea, ramen, yuzu cocktails, indoor fireworks, live muscians…personalised tote bags and rave sticks?!? They really went all out 😂.. it’s almost Christmas and I am super unprepared this time😅😅… and I chat about new year resolutions and also reflect on some positive things from this year including the growing of my food blog 🙂🙂.

Huge recommendation to check out the recent podcast by Life Uncut - where th why interviewed a honour killing survivor- Nina 🥲. Such a tragic story and I hope that honour killing can stop soon 😔.

A very jam-packed solo podcast episode… Talking all about my experience at the Yiruma concert and whinging about the people next to me. i also spoil more of the show “My daily dose of sunshine” ..still highly recommend! I also discuss whether I think healthcare professionals should still be able to work if they are physically and mentally unwell.. 🤔 And alas I’ve finally done my presentation ❤️…

This is my Netflix recommendation- My daily dose of Sunshine! A show that hits you in the feels like a wrecking ball. However, lots of trigger warning in the show and this episode. So please skip if depression or suicide is a trigger for you.

Ever shared a house with a stranger? Welp, this is my experience of living with someone I don’t know well and experiencing all sorts of angst, repressed feelings, and self control +++. What’s your worst experience with a housemate?

My personal experience in the Melbourne Public Health System in the Emergency Department 😅😅😊…

This episode involves a lot of talk about 💩 and 🩸 so be-aware! I went through my first colonoscopy and gastroscopy.. The preparation for it was terrible and I highly recommend you take time off while you are fasting and don’t get hypoglycaemia like I did 😓… get ready for your butt to be on fire and also have stomach pain after the procedure.. have you guys been through one?

Here I talk about my busy one day weekend .. starting off with my first ever invite to a soft opening of a new arcade in Melbourne called Akiras! (Check it out on my ig: eating_with_joy). I also binge watch two movies as this is their last week as part of the Japanese Film Festival. I compare “The lines that define me” and “We made a flower bouquet”.. Two completely different movies and with different life lessons… As a person easily influenced I want to take Japanese ink painting now thanks...

Have you ever had someone damage your property?!? Then you try to tell the police..but they are useless 🙄

Went to my first ever concert In Melbourne! It was absolutely out of this world magical experience… it’s been so long since I felt music that touched my soul and remember why I love music so much.

I am back after two weeks! Today we go through how it feels like to have depression- can you feel happiness or are you always sad? I also talk about my recent brunch I won for 4 people! Follow my ig page: eating_with_joy to see my restaurant reviews!

Alas, this girl is sick again! But apparently it’s not covid this time… and it’s not hayfever either 🙄🙄…

I had the most tumultuous weekend where the cat I was cat-sitting broke my screen door ran away.. I was super anxious and spent hours looking for him🥲🥲…

I attended my first ever wedding In Melbourne since I moved here 3 years ago! It was such a beautiful wedding with the most attention to detail I have ever seen! I loved their unique song choices and the delicious food 😍… follow eating_with_joy to see more photos soon 😍

I attended my first ever in person foodie meet up! So cool to meet the actual people behind the beautiful food photos and reels on Instagram 🥰… it was a little awkward as we had random people attend our event… but it didn’t go to plan 😭… follow my ig page: eating_with_joy
