Why? Answer : 1. The bee wanted to buy flowers as gift for his wife. 2. The bee wanted to hang out around the flower. 3. The bee wanted to take a look at the painting. 4.The bee wanted to look at the colours of the flower. 5. The bee wanted to buy some food. 6. The bee is enjoying the scenery 7. The bee is looking at references because it wants to be an artist 8.The bee wants to take a picture. 9.The bee wants to play. 10. The bee is looking for blanket. 11. The bee wants to change the colour of itself. Great catch up session Finally met up with my colleagues from my previous workplace after so long, I really miss them so much. We all started off as strangers before we became good friends, we learn everything together,laugh together, getting tired together, and we often helped each other along the way. They are the ones who made working easier and they also made me happier as a person. In my personal opinion I think i enjoyed working more than i enjoyed school. And i really enjoy catching up with them and meeting up with them once in a while.             |

Birthday Getaway
           
Finally 18, I thought? I remember how i used to think of how am i
going to celebrate this special day when i turned 18, looking back I
realised how time have passed so quickly. I was 16 when i thought
about being 18, so i guess the next age i should look forward to is
being 21. So this year, i went to Phuket which is a part of Thailand
for a 4 day 3 night stay for my birthday. It's the second time I'm
travelling this year, and i really feel so blessed to be able to travel
around, but at the same time i really hate the feeling of coming
back to face reality. I personally dislike routines and repetition.
I get bored of things easily and soon i probably feel really restless
while doing it. And i believe there are some others like me.
Some adults work for the sake of money, but they don't enjoy
their jobs at all. While student like us probably just work hard for a
grade. I do admit that there are some classes that i like, while some
classes are just totally irrelevant to me.
I feel like what's the point of getting us to do our own research on
this particular renown person just to do a power slide on
him/her and then right after we just forget about the person
totally? I really feel that there's no objective in lessons like this.
At the end of the day, we don't really learn and it just become a
waste of time. I feel that learning should not be too
stressful or demanding instead it should be more carefree and
fun.But in reality we just have a lot of assignments to do and a lot
of deadlines to meet with sky high expectations that's making
things worst. Maybe this is why, people lose their passion for what
they love to do. It's because of all the deadlines that they need to
meet and all the stress that's pilling up. It seriously makes people
feel unhappy and depressed. All in all, I just want to say that
whatever it is I think it's enough if you think that you already
did the best you can.

《会笑的眼睛》
How long will I be able to keep smiling and laughing like the way I
do most of the time? This question pop into my mind oh so often
recently. No doubt school has been nothing but fun as i make
friends along the way, and i learn to feel comfortable with myself
and people around me. However self consciousness really kills my
confidence, sometimes I feel conscious about the way I look, and
the way i dress etc. Things get worst when all i'm trying to do now
is to juggle with my homework daily. It's quite overwhelming
honestly, and i won't deny that homework it's taking a toll on me,
although i kind of managed it better now compared to the first
week, I still feel a little exhausted and drained from having to
complete so many things daily. And things just aren't the same as
how it used to be, like i used to have my own free time to do
whatever i like but i don't really get to do that now. However don't
get me wrong,i'm still passionate about fashion designing, and i
aspire to design egdy, stylist and minimalist clothes that even the
not-so-stick-thin can fit into. I'm still pretty much on discovering
myself at this phrase of my life, like what kind of direction i'm
looking at for designing. Therefore coming into NAFA is by far the
best choice i made in my life. I can feel myself wanting to do well
and also working hard to achieve what i want in the future and
pushing myself towards my goal. I hope everyone who has a dream
continue to fight for their dream, one day you will definitely get
there.
XOXO

FAVOURITE(S）
     ICE CREAM : oh oh oh oh GELATO! HAHAHA guess not only The minions react this way to ice cream. My favourite way of eating ice cream is eating it together with a waffle cone, and i can finish one entire cone really quickly! Besides Ice cream is like a remedy to me when I feel sad or depressed, and i believed it's the same for others as well because naturally when you start eating it you feel this huge sense of satisfactory. Or at least i feel this way, therefore my love for ice cream will never die!  
Does it actually look like a piece of fallen leaf to you? It certainly does to me! Even though it's just a piece of the waffle cone that chipped off.
And here's a photo of me trying on an outerwear at Uniqlo, well shopping never fail to be the top of my list, and i believe that's true for many other girls out there. To be honest, I window shop a lot, I like looking into displays of stores and looking at how the different stores dress their mannequin up or what kind of a concept are the store going for. I feel that as i see more, i learn more about different fashion concept and other concepts beyond my comfort zone.
Pineapples! Can't say I love them as fruits because i'm definitely not a fan of them, however i really like pineapple prints! Pineapple print tops or bottom never fail to attract me because they just look so cute and at the same time minimalistic.
My multi-usage stuff toy!
Hereby introducing Ah Xian ( a chinese word) which literally means salty and he is a guy by the way because of the little bow tie on his body.
Purpose no. 1 : Hugging him to bed, I occasionally hug him to bed.( That is if i didn't kick him off the bed)
Purpose no. 2 : Using it as a back cushion. My back actually feels sore after sitting at the same spot for long hours, so sometimes i will use it to cushion my back to ease the aching.
Purpose no. 3 : Using Ah Xian to disturb my friend... And the list goes on.
A newborn gift set.
I think when people see gifts like this, naturally they will think of a newborn baby. A newborn baby is definitely God's gift to all parents in the world. I always believed that children are angels send by God to help make the world a better place.Their smiles and laughter never fail to bring joy into the world.

Hello little lady bug ! This paper weight / rock was hand painted by me when i was in primary one?
I remember attending this art and craft class at a community center near to where i used to stay. I'm glad i kept this little rock with me,it's something filled with memories, and at the same time useful and practical as i can prevent my papers from flying around with this paper weight.
   
These are some of the shots i took of chinatown when i was there over the weekend, i really like the vintage shophouses a lot, it always looks very beautiful everytime i look at them and i never seem to get bored of it . And the building in this photo above looks just like the apartments in Hong Kong, where it's all very cramped and squeezed up together.
  This is the chinese traditional costume called the Qi Pao, I remember i used to wear it every year on racial harmony day, or Chinese new year back when I was in childcare.we would wear our own traditional costumes and sit around in a circle at school, and probably sing some songs or play some games conducted by our teachers. 
Singapore is a place filled with different cultures, and i really like the fact that despite our race or religion, different religious places were built side by side just like how this indian temple was located at chinatown. I felt that this really represents race and religion equality, nobody is more superior than the others.
Phone booth that was probably used in countries like London? why even their phone booth looks so vintage and nice? I really wanted to go in and take a seat since there are seats inside but it's locked! Felt really disappointed, so i left after taking a photo of it. Hopefully someday i'll get to visit the real deal.
Look at the spiral staircase, does it actually looks like strands of DNA? I always like staircase that look like this, however i always got scared while trying to climb up since it was very steep and looked kinda high. People in the past must have been very small built to climb up such a narrow flight of stairs. And it always amazes me how people in the past built all these architecture that looks so amazing with limited resources.
This was probably built to reminisce what people in the past used to do for a living. it was kind of like the "taxi" in olden days, except the fact that people back then were using their own 2 feet instead of wheels.

Definition of journey : Travelling from one place to another / progress from one stage to another.
  
I feel that the interaction between a mother and child is very
important, it's a process and bond that's built from the birth of the
child, like an emotional journey. I find it important to always keep a
close relationship with your child or your mother. The picture was
taken when I felt that it was a very simple yet sweet gesture of the
mum to help select the charms the little girl wanted on her
bracelet that she was getting for her.
  This is my home, Singapore.For the past 18 years of being here, I've been through considerably the good and the bad. There's a lot of things people can complaint about in singapore, however there's many to be thankful for, I'm thankful for this safe country I'm staying in and thankful that we're so well fed and protected.   
I think everything has their own process to it, and to come to a stage of a being family isn't that easy at all. Being able to meet each other in a million of others was already rare enough, what makes deciding to spent another half of a century together a easy choice? So it's always heartwarming to see families like this around.
Love is the magical feeling of butterflies in your stomach, or so they say. however i think to me the process of being in love isn't just a moment of feelings. It also means mutual support, trust and patience. Being there for each other, and always supporting each other during difficult moments. This is why they say two is equals to one right?
I think there's a lot of choices and directions in life. And of course we've already made many choices and decisions in life. Which shapes up who we're now, and also the journey we've come so far.
 
I always believed that every living being deserved to be loved on earth, be it humans animals or plants. We're all living and breathing and all of us needs to be nurtured and taken care of. However it's saddening now to know that the process of growing up of all these plants and animals are now compromised. Nature in a big part of the world is already being destroyed, trees that took more than a century to grow was being cut down, and many poor animals face animal cruelty. I sincerely hope that this world will be a better place soon.
I'm coming for you, please wait for me.
 
Eventually, there will be light at the end of darkness.
