So Far So-So

Laugh now, worry later

(Can you believe the photo above does not have any filter?? Well I'm not sure if the person who took this picture has done some edits but I was in a pink room where it was taken.)
How's it going guys!!!
Gosh I have been neglecting my blog!
I haven't been going to any events or organising events because I was busy with my course at Esplanade.
I wish I could blog about the shows that I did but because I was working for them & not actually watching the show, so I couldn't take pictures and much less blog about it.

Lately I have been feeling the lows; well according to my friends who realised that.
That is SOOOOO not me!!
I guess I'm just doing what Cancers do - overthink.
Can someone teach or advice me on how not to overthink? Like when I tell my friends what I think, they all tell me it's nothing of that sort.
Like what was in my mind was waaay off then it really is.
But being the cheerful & optimistic me, I will be back on track real soon >:)
So if anyone of you are feeling down or emotional, don't fret; you will get through it!
I always tell myself that. I mean, if you don't experience some lows, you never know how to handle those difficult situations and you learn to be stronger.
I suck at all these motivation shit talks but I know for sure everything that we are going through now makes us human.
All the emotions you are getting in a day
It's all about how you tackle what you are battling.

I quote from Alessia Cara's "Scars To Your Beautiful":

No better you than the you that you are(no better you than the you that you are)No better life than the life we're living(no better life than the life we're living)No better time for your shine, you're a star(no better time for your shine, you're a star)Oh, you're beautiful, oh, you're beautiful

So now I am trying to stop thinking the worse because that only make me feel worse, ain't it?
It could be I'm just missing my friends - I need my dose of them.
I miss talking shit and laughing with them.
You know what they say: it's okay if you don't have a lot of friends, you just need a few true friends who you can count on, who will be there by your side.
I am so blessed to have them in my life, to have met them, to bond with them and the friendship we have.
Okay I think I'm getting sentimental again LOL shit.

I actually wanted to visit ArtScience Museum for The Psychoactive Jazzhop Trip but there was a clash of schedule. :(
& then there was an art showcase in Capitol, can't remember what was it but again, clash of schedule.
Then I coulnd't attend Singapore Night Fest last week so I hope I can go today!!
I guess I need to pamper myself more! Hehehehe!

Some snippets of what's went through in August:

A friend sent me this because I was feeling down 

Sunshine sent me this randomly one morning and it instantly made my day

Trying out course mate's new S7 camera. Obvi there's filter in this.

Getting this pair of Puma!! I still follow my ex-Director's advice which is buy 1 thing for yourself every month. (But I always buymore than 1 item for myself every month)

Loving the pink light vibes

Blue lights? Yes please!

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

Happy Teachers' Day

Credits

It's Teachers' Day today! I don't get to celebrate it this year because I'm out of secondary school.
So yesterday I went back to Riverside Secondary School to visit my ex-classmates & teachers.
I'm more than glad that more than half of my classmates went back to RS. Don't misunderstood; my class is a very bonded and united class. I am boasting about this because I am very proud to be in 5/1.
It's a class that we work in one. ♥
Okay anyway, we went back to school but unfortunately there wasn't a lot of teachers there as well as ex-Riversidians.
Guess we came too late & the teachers were already starting to have their Teachers' Day lunch.
Well, we saw Ms Jasmine Lim, Mr Xie & Mr Teo.

Fian, Cong, Ms Jasmine Lim and I!

We chatted with Mr Xie but he has to attend the lunch.

Hey Yuwen!

Sam y u look unhappy?

'sup Amanda?

Praveen & Eve

Him with me!

The class wanted to have sushi buffet at Sakura but sadly the lunch buffet only left with 45 minutes. :(
It is so hard to find a suitable place to eat with such a big group, but thank God there is seats for the whole group of us in Pizza Hut!!
I ordered the Fully Loaded Crust pizza, together with Eve, Gaayathri & Durka.

Selfie

Can you spot my teacher?

The boys' corner. Can you spot my other 2 teachers?

The female stale. (I don't even know what that means I just know it rhymes)

It was extremely creamy but delicious! I like the minced chicken inside, but it was really too creamy for my liking. I gave it a 6.5/10 pizzas.
Even though we sat in 4 different tables, Mr Teo & Ms Kok came over to over table to have a chat! It was really nice talking to them because the conversation flow smoothly. (Just 1 or 2 4 seconds awkward silence).
All tables were filled with loud laughter and clapping.
I'm so grateful to have them as classmates :')

There are actually more photos but it is not in my camera, so I will not upload them here!
I am looking forward to the next gathering!!
5/1 forever in my heart <3 p="">
Oh yah right! I created an Instagram account. Do follow me up! You can find me at here ! My username is @XXIAOYU_
I need to follow more too, my photo timeline is always not changing xP.
Goodbye! Wonder when will be the next time I update..
