hello you on lemonade, happy to meet you!!🤓🍋
I'm a Singaporean who has moved out nearly 5 years ago and has spent the last few years figuring out adulthood, work, money, routines and what it means to build a life that feels like my own.
By day (and sometimes night), I juggle multiple roles across education, design and a small business. In between, you'll probably find me learning chess, maintaining an unhealthy streak on Duolingo and LinkedIn Puzzles, dancing, or picking up yet another hobby!
I have decided to start documenting #MyLemon8Journey here and share snippets of life (the practical bits, the messy bits and the small wins) as it unfolds.
And honestly? This is a relatively quiet corner of the internet where I don't know many people yet and I’m really loving the freedom to start again.
Here, you'll probably see more of:
🏡 Moving out, renting and independent living in Singapore
💼 Portfolio careers, work, side hustles and building a small business
🌱 Life lessons, routines, personal growth and rebuilding life one step at a time
🎨 Design, creativity, performances, events and things I find interesting
♟ The occasional rabbit hole involving chess, languages and whatever I'm currently obsessed with
If you're also figuring things out, rebuilding parts of your life, or simply trying to create a life you enjoy living, let's journey together and cheer one another on!
Warmly,
Winnie ☀️
Starting a journey of adulthood and independent living is both exciting and challenging, especially in a bustling city like Singapore. From my own experience, moving out to rent a place independently can feel daunting at first — balancing finances, finding the right space, and creating a comfortable home take time and effort. I've learned that setting consistent routines, like allocating certain times for work and leisure, helps maintain productivity without burnout. Building a portfolio career as Winnie does — juggling education, design, and running a small business — truly resonates with many of us who seek flexibility and multiple passions in our lives. I’ve found that embracing side hustles not only diversifies income but also fuels creativity and personal growth. For instance, taking up hobbies such as chess or learning languages through apps like Duolingo can improve cognitive skills and even introduce us to vibrant communities. Documenting life's practical moments, messy transitions, and small wins reminds me of how progress isn't always linear but deeply personal. There’s great value in sharing these experiences on platforms like Lemon8, creating supportive spaces for people figuring out their paths. Like Winnie, I appreciate the freedom to start fresh in quieter corners of the internet, where authentic sharing helps us cheer each other on. As we all rebuild parts of life or establish new ones, focusing on continual learning, whether through puzzles on LinkedIn or exploring new creative outlets, shapes a fulfilling journey. For those navigating independent living in Singapore or balancing portfolio careers, it’s reassuring to know that every small step counts. Together, we can embrace this messy but rewarding adventure toward a life we enjoy living.
