A Saturday of Peace

Hi, 

Ah, a Saturday morning! Not just any Saturday, but a legitimately free Saturday. After what felt like two straight months of weekend work, errands, and general chaos, the calendar finally decided to cooperate.

My children are having the time of their lives with Atok, Nenek, aunts and uncles. Even though we live way up north and they're all the way in the south of Malaysia, we've figured out the perfect solution, meet in the middle! Traveling all the way to the south would eat up too much time, so our little KL-cation is the sweet spot.

Right now, they're busy splashing, screaming, and making memories in the pool. And me? I've been given a golden ticket to freedom. The moment their aunt looked at me with a knowing smile and said, "Now you enjoy your peaceful time, we will take care of the kids," it felt like I'd just found a hidden treasure chest. Seriously, I almost did a celebratory dance right there. 💃😂

My first thought was to leap into bed and hibernate for a few more hours, but instead, I'm doing what I do best, catching up on all the things I've missed. It’s like being a detective solving the mystery of my own life, one unread email and social media post at a time. This calm weekend is exactly what my soul needed, a chance for the kids to bond with family while I get to recharge and settling in with the new book I've been reading.

As an applied mathematician, this really grabbed my attention. It's fascinating how calculus emerged as one of the world's greatest ideas.

Alright, everyone, have a fantastic time. You never know where life will lead, so just enjoy every moment. Bye for now!
