LDR-I wish I could be in the same city with you - August Bullet Journal Set Up

Due to the pandemic of COVID-19, most of the countries closed their border to restrict foreigners from entering their country and increase the risk of virus spreading. This is so difficult and sad for those couples/families which are having Long-Distance Relationship (LDR), including me.

When the Movement Control Order (MCO) first implemented in Malaysia, I was very disappointed because my Thai boyfriend and I were planning to go travel. But due to this COVID-19 outbreak in all around the world, we were forced to cancel the leaves and flight tickets.

Besides, my family members are not staying in the same city as me. I felt so sad and missed everyone so much.

As at today, MCO had been replaced with RMCO and most citizens are able to travel interstate. However, I still cannot meet with my boyfriend.

I told him: I really envy those people who stay in the same city as you. They could eat the same food as you; they could enjoy the nice view of the same city as you; they could accidentally step on you and say sorry to you; they could take the same MRT/BTS as you.

Okay, let's goes into the topic:

Due to the feeling of missing someone I love, I decided to have a BUJO theme: City view.

Since last month, I've in love with watercolour painting. I've made some cards with watercolour and sold them to my colleagues. So, this month, I decided to try watercolour painting on my Bullet Journal.

I went to my favourite website - PINTEREST for ideas and inspirations.

This is my cover page and monthly spread setup. The word "AUGUST" I used the technique "Wet on Wet" to write it out and the outcome is so unexpected nice. (I just purchased a wax stamp from Taobao, so I just wanted to try on this book, so that little grey stamp is the wax stamp). The first attempt failed.

Next, as usual, my Habit Tracker and Mood Tracker.

If you take a look into my Habit Tracker, you will realise that I used a store/company name to replace the habit title. It is because I wanted to make everything suits the building theme. (Eg: Workout = Body Factory)

Mood Tracker is just a HOTEL and I forgot to draw the indicator beside. I added it after the first day of August.

Below is the weekly spread of August Bullet Journal. All ideas came from PINTEREST.

I just don't know why I am so into watercolour painting after MCO. Maybe it is a new hobby for me. Stay tuned to my next article, the changes and effects of MCO to us in daily life and work.

That’s all for my August Bullet Journal Set Up sharing!
