20

So I'm 20 now. Yay?

Lol I've always pictured this moment as the day when I'm no longer a teenager :O which sounds really weird haha, because I still want to be a teenager. I shall be a teenager for life (although I'm not even that good at being a teenager. Sometimes I'm too serious, and most of the time I'm just too weird).

Birthdays have been somewhat a time for myself for the past few years. I've never been that kind of person with a lot of friends who hang out and have a big celebration on my birthday. I'm also not the kind that has all sorts of people calling me on the phone and coming to my place wishing me good luck. Sometimes I do get jealous of those people, but sometimes I just feel bad for them because they have such a busy day to deal with. Everyone wants to feel special at some points of time in their life though, so I suppose a busy birthday is not that big of a deal for some people. For me it's always been somewhat quiet and alone, when I can chill (like most of the time in my normal daily life anyway lol) and kind of enjoy myself and whatever random treats that I can find.

Anyhew, this year's started with me, sleeping with the notes that I was supposed to be studying for midterms haha. My friend called me up for some weird favour which I totally suspected that something fishy was going on, but they still managed to surprise me so that was nice. I shall not go into details because there were some really scary ones that shall not be mentioned online (it's not what u think it is, don't worry ;).

They gave me 2 muffins and 1 M&Ms packet. In this photo I've graciously consumed the first muffin, while the second one was consumed a few minutes ago. Yeah, don't ask.

As per tradition (?) I shuffled my Favourites playlist in iTunes for 20 random songs for my so-called new year of life, starting with Mỹ Tâm's "Hai Mươi" (that means Twenty) because I'm turning 20! Yay... Some weird songs came up but mostly I was jamming to the list. I will probably just listen to Adele's album next year (if u get what I mean), but in the meantime, here's the list if you're interested

*trying to insert clever, relevant tagline, and then failing at doing so*

I slept at 4am after the songs session and some other great convos with my awesome online friends (that's my life!). Of course I didn't sleep before watching another awesome episode of Modern Family. Awesome is an understatement.

Woke up at 830am-ish for a choir sound check thingy at Raffles City Convention Centre which lasted until noon. Had another great home-cooked meal by my mum. Went for Dance Ensem practice in the afternoon. Being bombarded with Facebook notifications on my phone (that was exaggerated because, u know, I don't have that many friends... haha). Came back from dance, went for another great dinner cooked by my mum and my friends. Chilled and had fun. Just like any other days! :)

Haha I don't know what to write anymore. I wish everyday I could just sing in the morning, dance in the afternoon, eat in the evening and then chill. How awesome would life be!

I'm out of things to say really. I just feel very grateful to receive all kinds of birthday wishes from people, 95% of which were made possible because of Facebook, so thank you for that. I hope all the wishes that people wish for me came true lol (except evil people who wish bad luck to me). 

Sometimes I get randomly superstitious about stuffs that happen in a special day, and this year's birthday is not different, but I shall keep those thoughts in my mind and see how the year is going to turn out to be.

* Fun fact 1: I wore a tank top and a t-shirt with a "T" for half of my birthday because... T FOR TWENTY. HAHA so lame.
* Fun fact 2: The other half of the day I wore (and still am wearing) a Beyoncé t-shirt. DUH.
* Fun fact 3: I shall try to go to the zoo for free next year. Maybe with someone :3

(VERY IMPORTANT) BONUS:

I'm quite sure my birthday is not during Christmas. XD

It's another New Year!

If you know me, you know that I don't usually do new year's resolutions. Because what is time but a social construct? Like ok, I see the point, and if it helps to motivate people into doing things, good for them. But I've never been the kind of person that is able to follow through with something if I plan them too rigorously. But then again, now that I'm 5.5 years into the corporate life, I realise that planning is important, and not even for the kind of big picture capitalist goals/visions/missions thing that companies do, but even for the day to day kind of work, because of how technologies have created this need to be super 'efficient' and 'productive'. Sometimes I wish that writing a blog post like this could be considered 'productive' as well in this capitalist world, because then I may be more motivated to write more than one post per year. Remember the time that I wanted to write one blog post per week and I wrote like 5 posts? Lol. Anywa

Life in quarantine

Ah hello, it's been a while. Not that anyone visits this blog anymore lol. But it's still good to be able to write things out some time. So we're entering the third week of lockdown here in Singapore. Yes it is a lockdown despite what the formal term is. And me, being a good citizen and law-abiding non-Singaporean, is staying at home. Thank you e-commerce and delivery services (as well as frontliners and health workers, of course). It's interesting to see how things are panning out, at least from the way people are reacting to this. For me personally, I really don't mind being at home for most of my week, but I do enjoy the very rare trips to the convenience stores nearby or just to check my mails downstairs. I've grown increasingly lazy to even go out to a supermarket and buy actual grocery - luckily my roommates will be happy to help. Generally I do feel that people are frustrated because they don't have a choice - das ist nicht freiwillig! (Yes I
