I am making a mental note that if I want to buy my favourite Muji planner – I should get it early. The one with the black cover is already sold out and I thought I was getting the one with the same layout, but it turned out it was wrong. I did not read the description properly.

I consoled myself that it was ok to get a red one but I had it all wrong. Wrong size. Wrong layout.

My favourite layout is the one with an all-year overview page, and the monthly and weekly pages in vertical view. I ended up with the horizontal view. Urgh. Will have to make do with it – better than nothing.

Looking forward to a fruitful and exciting 2024. My daughter will be entering formal schooling and my son is still waiting for placement for his secondary schooling. It is an anxiety-inducing moment for the parents as well. We are also not going on holiday as much as we want to because I have to compete with my colleagues for the quota per day.

For me personally, it will be my last year in the Psychology programme. I am already behind in 1 semester as I have not been able to take up as many subjects as I intend to. It is still a worthwhile experience and I am hoping to get my Final Year Project completed as soon as possible. I have yet to find a supervisor. As for my portfolios at work, I have already drafted out the itinerary of our programmes for 2024. I just need to clarify certain targets and goals.
