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

Good food + good people = good day (Part 1)

6 December
Yup, a simple equation that (I'm sure) everyone can relate.
Hey guys, how's it going?
My MST are finally oveeeeerrrr!!!!!!! CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES C'MON!!! (I bet you sang that out)
My last paper was on Friday, it was Principles of Marketing. It was... let's just say I foresee a 'pass'.
Everyone (okay majority) in my class were dressed up for the day because they had the same plan as me & my clique - celebrate!!!
So after the test Marz, Karise & Mingmin (MM) went to JEM to grab lunch. Pity Aishah couldn't join us :(

We dined in The Soup Spoon. I ordered chicken soup pot pie. I won't buy the same thing again. The soup was a little more than so-so but it's still good food. What I enjoyed was the CONVERSATION between us.
It was smooth, & jumpy. I like jumpy conversations; where one topic leads to another & another. It just go on & on, it comes with laughter.
We revealed some things & confessions about ourselves too, that's when I realised we still don't know each other well. That's when I know we started to bond over a hot bowl of soup in a rainy weather. Sounds perfect, isn't it?
We stayed for very long, because we were too full to move & the conversation topics are all lined up.
Usually during breaks we hardly talk.. I'm used to talking during meals w my friends; it's a perfect time to bond.
I know some people think that when eating it is wise not to talk. I guess that's where we are different.
We had to walk around the mall to burn off the calories (although it didn't do much but it's something to pacify ourselves). So we checked out Westgate, the new shopping mall beside JEM.
The hospital is on its way, & Karise told me there will be another shopping mall popping out.
So... our parents' tax money are being spent on shopping malls? I rather it be invested on public transport.
Things in Singapore are so expensive, buying a shirt also must compare here & there.
Few years down the road, say 3-4 years, Jurong East will be the Orchard of the west (ironic right Jurong East is located in the west wtf like where is the east part I can't see it it's a question i have no answer to).

So.

We caught ! I anticipated the movie & have high expectations for it.
The ending was totally 'whaaaat?' in a good way that makes viewers coming back to the theatre for the last part of the trilogy.
I give it a 5/5 Katniss. I highly recommend it.

After the movie Marz left & it's Karise, MM & me. We chilled in Starbucks (no we didn't buy drink we just sneak into their outdoor premises to rest because we are too poor for hipster overprice coffee).
Then Karise got her stuff, & we're home!
T'was a day well spent, thanks girls. ☺️
