I’ve always looked forward to to the month of June ever since our girls started going to school many years ago. It’s the mid-term school holidays and our yearly routine would involve making a road trip or ETS train ride back to my parents in Ipoh. The girls and I would don on our cute dresses to do sight-seeing, camwhoring and coffee-shop hopping in Ipoh. Sometimes we would make day trips to nearby towns. It’s one of the happiest times of the year. But the past one year has been nothing short of the longest school holidays for us; a holiday that doesn’t seem to end; a holiday that involves being stuck at home with no where to go; a holiday where we all live our days worrying whether we’ll be the next to get infected! I often wonder how long more we have to endure this pandemic; how long more we have to wait before we can reunite with my parents and brothers for a reunion. This whole pandemic is making me stir-crazy.
Life for the past one year in and out of lockdown has been a humdrum. With no where exciting to go, my main source of excitement comes from online shopping 😁. The thrill of successfully claiming free shipping on my lucky days, playing games and earning coins on my favorite online shopping platform, shopping for things that make me happy and waiting for my orders to arrive is my simple pleasures in life. Thankfully I’m a simple girl and I don’t need expensive bags, branded clothes and expensive holidays to find myself living in the Elysian Fields. If online shopping and getting new clothes makes you happy too, check out Berrylook, an online store for fashionistas who are always on the lookout for cheap clothes and fashionable items.
The only place that I can hang out these days is at the supermarket or pharmacy and I take the opportunity to dress up and mask up☺️
There is only so long you can run a full marathon without your body giving way, and especially with a constantly-shifting finish line, like we have during the seemingly never-ending pandemic. But we have to persevere and continue to fight the virus with self-discipline and vigorous SOP. Meanwhile, continue to find the simple pleasures in life to stay sane in this difficult time. My simple joys in life is finding the best deals via online shopping.
What are your simple joys in life? Regardless of our financial situation, these simple joys can make us feel wealthy beyond measure.
