Spikes & Spices

I’ve started joining Fion and Magenta for weekly volleyball training sessions. I won’t lie, it’s been incredibly tiring and there is a steep learning curve, but I think I’m actually getting the hang of it. Most importantly, I’m genuinely enjoying myself!

To balance out the cardio, we’ve been exploring new cuisines. Miznon was an absolute hit. The Pita there is nothing short of godly, and the Hummus is so delicious we just couldn’t get enough of it. Sadly, we had to stop simply because we were too darn full to take another bite.

Off the Clock

Yesterday marked a small milestone: my first proper team lunch! It’s rare that all five of us are free at the same time, so we made it count at Nosh @ Henderson. I went for the double chicken, but the food was secondary to the company.

It was refreshing to share a meal outside the office environment; the vibe shifts completely when you’re just “yapping” and poking fun at each other. I swear, Lev tried to match me up with [REDACTED] right there and then, me and Lev were barely holding it together the entire time. It was also great to see Boss Nev so relaxed and get to know the person behind the title.

Grateful & Funded

Today I attended the SPWU Bursary Award Ceremony. It was a genuine honour to be selected for this award and recognized in this way. But if I’m being completely honest, the financial boost is definitely the highlight. I’m just glad to get the cash!

The Need for Speed

On a side note, I finally hit a 100/100 score for speed analysis on my portfolio website. I’m just relieved it’s going to be responsive and not a pain to navigate anymore. I’m actually thrilled about this; seeing those green numbers confirms that all the effort and work I’ve poured into maintaining and optimizing the site is finally showing real results.
