Last Sunday, I went to church then decided to go on an impromptu trip to the beach… by myself.
I took the MRT to Vivo City and took another train to Sentosa island. I was wearing a long, thick Sunday frock with high heeled cork wedges, something that is completely NOT suitable for the beach, but I didn’t care.
I happened to be wearing a scarf, so I took that off to spread on the sand to lie on. Then I took out my kindle and read The Last Letter from Your Lover by Jojo Moyes while sipping iced coffee with pearl jelly, my bare feet digging into the fine white sand.

| Ahhhh… this is the life |
It was late afternoon, so the sun was not too hot, perfect for an Asian who hates getting tan. The cool sea breeze fanned me as I read, and that coupled with the comforting sound of the waves lapping against the shore made me feel so relaxed and almost lulled me to sleep.
Hashtag bliss.
Most people think I’m an extrovert, because I am incredibly chatty, the life of the party, the girl with a bajillion and one friends. But I am also partly introvert, in that sometimes, I actually prefer to be alone. Sometimes, I deliberately go off on adventures by myself, not because I have no choice, but because I like it that way.
Alone does NOT always equal lonely.
Sometimes I find solace in being solitary.
YES. Sometimes I just need some quiet to thrive. I definitely get unhappy if I don't have enough alone time.
Totally agree- alone definitely doesn't equal lonely. That sounds like a great day!!
This simply sounds like a divine few hours, hashtag bliss indeed! I often find myself yearning for an hour or two to chill out on my own, you're not weird at all.
We must spend time with ourselves before we can give ourselves to someone else. Introverts rock!
I really love my alone time, it is something to cherish for sure!
I love being alone and away from the chatter of life. What a lovely day. As beneficial as a good nights sleep 🙂
I hate the whole introvert/extrovert abel, because i find it limits what people see you as. I too love talking to.. well… pretty much anyone(!) but i also enjoy being alone and taking some me time. I think it's important to enjoy your own company and that beach looks like a mighty fine spot to do so! No shame in your game bunny xo
lolol – that was totally supposed to say hunny NOT bunny!
Thanks, glad I'm not alone in wanting to be alone!
Glad you agree!
Totally.
Thanks!
True!
Ah, well said!
LOL I was wondering if it was a Brit thing. ;P
Glad you agree!
