Breathing difficulties

I was working... As usual, rushing urgent stuff.. Suddenly my vision blanked out and I felt headache.. Followed by tightening of chest and very deep breathing, seeming like breathing difficulty. The tight Chest and deep breathing went on for 3hrs and I couldn't focus and decided I should head to TTSH A&E for a thorough check-up and consultation.
This is the 1st time I'm having such heart and breathing issues and 1st time I checked myself into a hospital A&E..

I went there alone. I was not needing or hoping anyone to be there with me. I was left with some alone time with my mind and recalled how I expected or hoped that someone (perhaps my best friend) will be there by my side if times like such is to occur. Now that there are quite some changes in my life, I think I have grown to be even more independent, my mind has been maturing alot during these few months; I feel old! Like i aged 5 years within 5mths! Today, I am not sad/disappointed or hoping.. It's working out good. Blessings from my friends through FB and messages helped too I guess. Heehee.. Actually don't mean to check-in and make it drama, but for me it's a note to self that such thing happened and I should take are and be mindful to avoid reoccurrence..

Doctor says it is an anxiety attack.

Im also referred to 2 specialists.

I think this is the breaking point.. I really need to learn to relax, not push myself so hard, and get going on my short weekend trip after my exam on 6 sep before my next module starts a few days after.

Korean Hotpot & Soju @ Your Woul Korean Restaurant

I'm done with purchasing my 1st self-owned lappie from Harvey Norman! The other lappie I have is actually not mine but company's. I love the matted metallic gold and couldn't turn my heart away from it! The love was strong and I had to get it on the very day I saw it!

We both had craving for Korean Hotpot, so I brought my friend to my fave authentic Korean restaurant.
The entire week has been really stressful.. So.. I ordered Soju to go along with the Hotpot..
The Korean waitress asked me 3 times to tripe confirm that I was ordering Soju? I laughed and said yes (it's actually not the 1st time I get such a reaction, because generally, Singaporeans don't and can't accept the taste and alcoholic percentage of soju)
The waitress recommended me to mix 2 types of soju together and she did a performance by stacking them bottle neck to bottle neck to infuse the both!

I went.. @_@ wah! Impressive! Haha

My friend enjoyed the side dishes and the Hotpot! Her taste preference is for Korean food and this is very much to her liking.

We had telepathy cravings and went for our 2nd visit just a week after!

Mugging's bliss when u have a good companion

I'm bliss to have a good companion who volunteered to accompany me for Brunch and mugging!
As a reward, I brought her to Group Therapy, which is located within my favorite Cafes area in Tanjong Pagar.
Why Group Therapy? The food is good according to reviews, the place is hidden on 2nd floor in a middle shophouses unit, the place speaks of creativity and gives a sense of peace at the same time. Apt for what we need! A peace of mind and a great Brunch!

She loved the place! That to me is a sigh of relieve!

Waffles! She mentioned Waffles! So Restore cafe came into my mind together with the drifting aroma of its freshly made waffles from my memory!

I always love that feeling when I step into restore; the feeling of privacy, away from the crowded stifling city life .. Waffles, ice cafe latte, and jazz tunes definitely elevated the "feel"!

After desserts, it's time to head to my mugging hiding hole.. Also another apt where I hide out from the crazy crowd, get my own space with zero disturbance. Zero stress. And all the time in the world
