A change, a different perspective

A very good afternoon everyone!!


Okay that's a very ugly art because I have no inspiration at the moment...
Put that aside, HAPPY DEEPAVALI TO MY FELLOW SINGAPOREANS!!
Yay another public holiday for me hehehe.

If you notice (actually it's very hard not to), I've changed my blog header. :D
Yup I changed my hairstyle; dyed it jet black and cut my hair & fringe.
Actually, I don't intend to cut bangs, I wanted it to be touching my nose but the amateur hair cutter (yes I said hair cutter because I truly thinks she is just someone who CUTS HAIR) THOUGHT I WANTED BANGS WHEN I SAID I WANNA CUT STRAIGHT.
I specifically pointed the length on my face. =_= oh well, just gonna wait for it to grow long.

I added some details to my portrait like my mole and my piercing scars (they're not pimples, please).
Changed the colour of my braces band too!
I wanna depict it to be as real as possible.

Ever since the 1-to-1 talk with my Boss, I look at life differently.
I am changing to be more positive, be happier and smiling more.
I start by talking to myself in the mirror before I left the house ('today is gonna be a good day! You will be happy today! Work will be great, you will smile at strangers. Do not overthink!') and sniffing lemon.
He said a whiff of lemons helps to improve your mood, scientifically. It's true! Don't believe me? Google it :D
Hopefully I can do this long-term :)

I'll be meeting my poly friends later for dinner! Can't wait to see them! Ever since internship started, we were all so busy with our work, we can't meet up.
Sure, we did plan dinner after work but for some of them, they have so much work that they had to OT.
Today we will be eating at Jinjja Chicken !!
I have been craving for Chicken Up lately because their chicken is soooo good!!
But if you wanna go, go to the outlet in Tanjong Pagar, not Jurong East. The standard in JE is so different and lower than that of Tanjong Pagar.
Still, I can't wait to try this new Korean Chicken cafe in town!!! :D
Pardon me, I'm gonna go cook my Korean cheese ramen for lunch. :P

Quick update #3

Merry May, isn't it?
I remember last week or the week before, I kept remarking that that particular week had past very quickly!
During lesson time, play time, resting time, time seemed to be in a rush!
And in a blink of an eye, it's already May.
May is the month where I'm taking my 'O' Level Chinese, I have to be confident in myself.
My Mother Tongue teacher, Su Lao Shi, she's very nice. She used the lesson time to teach us morals and life ambitions and target and values.

Because at that time we were going through a comprehension, and all the Chinese comprehension, it is about values and there will be a 'moral of the story', so just nice the passage was about the writer and his 'never-give-up' attitude during his high school life.
Su Lao Shi told us that we must be optimistic, never have any negative thoughts. If we have prolong pessimism, it might plant into our head and we might live a sorrowful life.

She also said that we must believe in ourselves.

'If you think that you can do it, you will succeed; but if you think that you can't do it, then you will fail.'

So I've been listening hard in my Chinese class, doing accordingly to what Su Lao Shi taught, and follow her examples.
My weakest is my Composition - I have to memorise the points and do more of it.
I MUST GET AT LEAST AN A2, I don't want to take it again the second time :(
I'm sick of Chinese, I just want to drop Mother Tongue.
Sometimes when I see Kaili, Jasmine and Yingjing directing their attention to other subjects, I get jealous of them.
So, with all the inspiration posters I wrote by myself, stuck on my cupboard's door, it motivates me in my studying :)
The reason why I painted my room with all sorts of colours is because I feel that with vibrant colours in my room it gives me the motivation to study.
I'm just gonna chant to myself that 'I can do it, I can do it, I can do it' whenever I feel stupid.
I think having a positive attitude has a huge impact on your studies and thinking, or even whatever you do.
I'm actually looking forward for the one week of intense revision -- whole day doing papers and more papers.
Of course it will get stressful and both Su Lao Shi and my class will get crazy during that week, but I'd like to think of the relaxing days after I dropped my Chinese. It'll be great!
If I have to do hundreds of papers before the actual exam and I can drop it, I don't mind even cutting my sleep time.
Yes, I've become hardcore now. :'( (NO I STILL PUT SLEEP AS MY FIRST PRIORITY JUST THAT IT IS A MAJOR EXAM).
Without a proper O Level certificate, I'll probably be in a low-wage job or serving people Double-Cheeseburgers with no pickles.
I have to think long-term. ^^
Oh, time management is also one key factor for a good exam grade. :)
Next semester, which is after the June holidays, there will be no first period -- lessons will be pushed forward. Which means there will be no Healthy Lifestyle; the only exercise I'm having is PE lessons.
I have to take time out for jogging.

Like just now, I went jogging after Chinese focus ^^
I bumped onto Miss Milhan and Mdm Rekha at my block carpark as turned in. xD
I feel that I do not have enough exercise and my legs are getting bigger :( (I am appearance conscious and I want to maintain my body :B).
Exercising releases sweat, and that is a good way to release toxins.
For those youngsters who have trouble with your skin right, pass motion helps to release toxins from your body, from all the oily food and fried food you ate, everyday is a recommended way to release the dirty substance from your body.
My doctor told me that if the toxins did not come out from your bottom, it has no where to go so it goes to your skin. So regulate your bowel movement for your health benefits ^^

Last year already, chiong ah!
