Hey guys! It's been such a long time since I blogged anything cause I have been busy with work and stuff. But I'm back again to share my latest crochet project!
I have been working on this project for quite a long time as I have been using pockets of free time each day to work on it. It is a Kerokeroppi amigurumi!
Here's the link to the pattern: http://littleyarnfriends.com/post/40495014677/crochet-pattern-lil-kerokeroppi.
I just found it one day while surfing the net and I thought it was pretty cute so I decided to make it. At first, I didnt really have anyone in mind but gradually, I decided I could give it to my mum. So I did.
And here's a picture of it:

Some challenges I faced during this project was number one lol laziness to go get felt. As this project needed pink felt cheeks and black felt eyeballs, I was supposed to go get some but I was too lazy to get it so I decided to crochet them instead.
I worked out that for the eyes: Work a magic ring and crochet 6 single crochet in it. (6)
Increase in every single crochet (12)
Slip stitch in next stitch (12)
This size would be perfect for the eyeballs. One thing I noticed was that it could get quite hard to sew the eyeballs into the eyes so if your sewing isnt top notch like mine isnt, felt would definitely be a more ideal choice as it is easier. If you noticed carefully, the eyeball on the right is a little lopsided due to my sewing. So try to get felt if you can! It took a couple of tries to get the eyeballs right. I had to redo several times.
Second thing was about the cheeks.
I worked out that for the cheeks: Work a magic ring and crochet 6 single crochet in it. (6)
Slip stitch in next stitch (6)
Of course I think felt would be a better choice for this too, even though I didnt have the chance to try it out because I didnt have pink yarn at home or even if I did, I didnt have enough space.
Third thing to take note would be while sewing the eyes, sew the bottom half of the eyes to the top of the head such that the eyes are kinda protruding out of the head. Mine was too low so it kinda didnt leave much space for the smile and the cheeks.
Fourth thing to remember is not to overstuffed the eyes. The eyes are kinda supposed to be flat and big, kind of like a disc shape. You dont want to overstuff it and make it into a ball like thing which you can squish. Which I did and the eyes are over protruding which does makes it look a little weird. And even though the instructions did mention not to overstuff, I still did. T.T
Fifth thing was that my smile was lopsided and more of like a v-shape. So I guess to avoid this, you should have a longer smile that achieves a u-shape. Centre of the smile should be aligned with the centre of the two eyes. That should be a good gauge.
Sixth thing was i didnt really know how to decrease my stitches properly such that it is inconspicuous. So at the neck area, it looks a little unsightly. And for the legs, it was also rather unsightly, but I positioned them face down as the contact area so it cannot be seen. But well, if you guys do know how to decrease it neatly, do share your tips and tricks with me.
Basically, I had a lot of fun doing this amigurumi and it's totally worth a try! Go check out Little Yarn Friends' pattern on Kerokeroppi cause i think it's really cute and pretty easy to make (except the assembling part which I have a bit of problem on).
I have learned a lot through this project such as my sewing skills and I hope you guys would be able to make better kerokeroppis than i could with my tips and tricks.
Bye guys and see you till the next blog post! :)

Blog Post #20
Just these first two days of the week, it has been raining in the morning. On Monday morning, the rain was so heavy my skirt and shoes were totally soaked by the time I reached school. On Tuesday morning, the rain was light: heavier than a drizzle but lighter than a downpour. If you forgot to bring your umbrella, it's okay, you would have survived the rain without asking to share an umbrella with someone. So since I had an umbrella, I opened it and walked to school. Then, there was this girl behind me who wanted to cut in front of me. I suppose it was a junior. When she tried to walk beside me, I noticed that she had no umbrella so I kind of like sheltered her as she cuts in front of me. But I didnt know why, I didnt bother to ask if she wanted to share my umbrella. Maybe I was afraid that the umbrella was too small for us to share and I'm bound to get wet. Or maybe I was just too selfish. Or I didnt think it was necessary for me to ask her. Then, I saw this ex classmate of mine, who holds the position of chairperson of the peer support board, from a distance. And I wasnt sure why but I enacted and imagined this scene happening: The girl walking ahead and this chairperson comes to walk beside me and chairperson would ask me,"hey do you think that girl will want to share an umbrella?" and I would lie and say that I have asked her already and she rejected me. Thinking of this scene, I walked forward slowly. Finally, chairperson crosses the road to my path. She stopped in front of us and for a moment, I smiled to her because I thought she saw me and therefore stopped. But her attention was not on me. It was on the girl in front. When the girl reached, chairperson asked if she wanted to share the umbrella with her and the girl nodded. So they huddled under the umbrella together and walked the remaining road to school. And from afar, I noticed that her umbrella was smaller than mine.

I have been meaning to write this blog post for a while already, like at the start of July when I had my sports day heats. I was supposed to run 800m and on my way to report my attendance, one of my classmates asked me to replace her for 400m. I was kinda holding back because the sequencing of events was 400m sprint then followed up next is 800m sprint. So because I wasnt an athlete and I obviously am not used to sprinting, much less do two sprints back to back, I was about to reject. But then, there was no one else she could ask for help and besides, if she doesnt report her attendance, our house could lose points. Or maybe I was just too nice. So I agreed. And I swear I regretted my decision. After seeing the first half of my competitors compete, I was like woah, I dont stand any chance at all. My only goal is to ensure that I'm not last. And that was exactly what I did, sprinted fast enough to ensure that I'm not the last. And when it came to 800m, I didnt care anymore. But me and my stupid pride ensured that I was not to be last, so I ran fast enough to and tried to maintain my position as second last. Them peeps from track and field are damn fast! My timing was 01:33.78 for 400m (7th place) (11 participants) and 04:18.65 for 800m (12th place) (13 participants). Not really impressive but I guess what I took away from heats this year was that regardless of whatever, you just gotta finish the race. When the first three positions are already fixed, then all you have left to do is to complete the race. Even if you are burning tired and you cant feel your feet, it doesnt even matter anymore, nobody cares about the positions anymore, so long as you finish the race, achieve your personal best. And I guess I'm proud of myself for at least completing the damn race.
Just this Tuesday, we received our lego set from Singapore, which I was extremely extremely excited for, since I have never actually own my own lego set. This lego set contains lego pieces to build three different iconic Singapore buildings with three varying levels of difficulties. Here are my creations:
This is the Gardens by the Bay. And I had the lego girl and guy to sit on the supertrees to show that together, we can strive to greater heights, hence the hand action.
For this one, I was trying to show that people are amazed at the rate Singapore is growing. From a fishing village to an urban metropolis in just 50 years.
This one is just showing how Garden by the Bays is now a tourist attraction and people like taking pictures with the supertrees in the backdrop.
This one was just a random fun one where the guy is throwing stuff across the bridge and the girl is trying to dodge it.
This one was to promote racial and religious harmony where races/religions do not fight among one another, but coexist in peace. The two lego figures are shaking hands. A couple of my friends pointed out that they are of the same skin colour but whatever. They could be of different religions.
Haha this has no meaning whatsoever. And I'm so glad Singapore has given this lego set to us students. I will treasure mine!
I have been meaning to write this blog post for a while already, like at the start of July when I had my sports day heats. I was supposed to run 800m and on my way to report my attendance, one of my classmates asked me to replace her for 400m. I was kinda holding back because the sequencing of events was 400m sprint then followed up next is 800m sprint. So because I wasnt an athlete and I obviously am not used to sprinting, much less do two sprints back to back, I was about to reject. But then, there was no one else she could ask for help and besides, if she doesnt report her attendance, our house could lose points. Or maybe I was just too nice. So I agreed. And I swear I regretted my decision. After seeing the first half of my competitors compete, I was like woah, I dont stand any chance at all. My only goal is to ensure that I'm not last. And that was exactly what I did, sprinted fast enough to ensure that I'm not the last. And when it came to 800m, I didnt care anymore. But me and my stupid pride ensured that I was not to be last, so I ran fast enough to and tried to maintain my position as second last. Them peeps from track and field are damn fast! My timing was 01:33.78 for 400m (7th place) (11 participants) and 04:18.65 for 800m (12th place) (13 participants). Not really impressive but I guess what I took away from heats this year was that regardless of whatever, you just gotta finish the race. When the first three positions are already fixed, then all you have left to do is to complete the race. Even if you are burning tired and you cant feel your feet, it doesnt even matter anymore, nobody cares about the positions anymore, so long as you finish the race, achieve your personal best. And I guess I'm proud of myself for at least completing the damn race.
Just this Tuesday, we received our lego set from Singapore, which I was extremely extremely excited for, since I have never actually own my own lego set. This lego set contains lego pieces to build three different iconic Singapore buildings with three varying levels of difficulties. Here are my creations:

On the other hand, today was sports day and my house won champions!!! At least I didnt sprint the race for nothing; at least I didnt have to deal with the aftermath (muscle ache for at least an entire week) for nothing. We won champions! That's about it.
Thanks for reading and bye!

Blog Post #18
So I thought about writing how I started this whole blog thing. It started because in Year 1, I had a couple of friends who had blogs and I thought it was a pretty interesting way to express your thoughts, share your ideas and stuff.
And so I started my first blog post in March 2014 regarding my trip to Marina Barrage on World Water Day 2014. I didnt complete my first post but I published it anyway. I guess it just gets a little tiring to narrate every single thing that happened on that day.
Then a few months down the road, I went back to my inactive blog and decided to check out some statistics. And I realised that wow that was a lot of +1s (is it?) but anyway there was a huge number beside the google plus sign. So I was like woah so maybe people are reading my (incomplete) blog post. I monitored it for a while and it just keeps increasing every day and I seriously had no idea what that was (even up till now).
So I decided to you know revive my blog, give an intro, etc. And then I decided I could post some card making tutorials. So I did. But then I stopped after a while. Then, during the last December holiday, I uploaded quite a couple of blog posts.
And I continued in January, posting along some book reviews. I knew of Grandma about the second week of January. (Though I highly suspect it is 7 January.) And I was pretty upset the whole time. So in February, I started this Thought of the Day thing. To sum up my thoughts for that day in one sentence. And I'm still continuing it up till today.
And I guess my blog kinda turned into an online diary.

Blog Post #17
Hey guys. I'm really sorry for not blogging for such a long time even though it's supposedly the holidays. And that card blog post that I promised is still sitting on my desk, not even touched yet. There's so many things I planned to do during the holiday but I just realised that I havent accomplish anything yet.
There's the crocheting of the green frog. (I have decided to make a green frog for my mum for her birthday and because its kinda a big project, I have started it in May even though her birthday's in November.) But I was supposed to get a darker shade of green yarn and I'm too lazy to go to Daiso to get it. And so the frog's sitting on my desk too. I have only completed the head. Here's the link for those who are finding something to crochet: http://littleyarnfriends.com/post/40495014677/crochet-pattern-lil-kerokeroppi
Then there's also the notebook project which I'm planning to do. After watching a video from youtube, I got inspired and wanted to create more other different designs of these fun to make DIY notebooks. But up till now, I havent even come up with the designs. But I did come up with the different animals that I could integrate. I have 10 animals in total (though 3 of them were ideas from the video) Here are they:
If you are interested, please check this video out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-vQEQkJr6I I would post my designs on this blog if I ever came round to finishing them.
I wanted to come up with new card designs too but as you can see, I'm already late in posting my tutorial card post. I wanted to make cards for my friends' birthdays and for teachers with regards to Teachers' Day just so I wont have to rush and do a shabby job when the date comes near but now, I havent even come up with a single card design. And I wanted to make cards for my seniors who have left the cca. That is so overdue. And I also wanted to make something for the #Payitforward. Sigh. That sits on my desk too.
I wanted to do some carving too. Like carve out some paper cut designs onto my notebook. But uh oh too lazy to look for designs and oh well maybe I just dont care enough.
I wanted to read too. But I have already send a couple of books back to the library where they belong without so much as flipping through them. Oh! And by the way, I read the "A Monster Calls" book already and it's absolutely amazing. I have also found out that they would be having the movie next year!!! I'm so gonna watch it. My only wish now is that the movie is as good as the book, or even better. I lend the book to a couple of my friends but now, I know it's a bit selfish of me to think this way but I'm kinda regretting my decision cause now the book is not so much as a special thing to me anymore, now that I have shared it around with people. But I guess, amazing things are meant to be shared with others. I guess "Gone Girl" by Gillian Flynn would be next on my list to leave. Bye. Currently, I'm now reading "1984" by George Orwell, but I'm not sure if I would get the whole story when I come to the end of it. And so the books sit on my desk as well.
And you might ask why do I have so much things piling up on my desk. Well, if I didnt have so many projects on hand. And if I werent addicted to my game, Hay Day. And if I werent Vice-President of my cca. Then I would probably get more of these stuff done. But I guess this just teaches me that I need to manage my time better.
Thanks for reading (and understanding) and till the next time!

Gosh it has been so long since the last blog post and so many things has happened.
My exams are over!!! My exams ended on Friday last week and I had a four day holiday cause Monday was the lit paper and I did not take lit. haha no talent whatsoever. But anyway then the next day we all didn't have a paper but they still decided we need a break. Oh well. And er during the four days, I did plenty of things like getting enough sleep and playing poptropica!!! Which is such an enjoyment for me. But I forgot my account and I couldn't retrieve my password in any way so I had to start from scratch again. Oh oh and I also watched Brother Bear which is a very very nice movie and I had the chance to reminisce my childhood. Also, I watched Brother Bear 2 which as compared to the first movie, wasnt as nice. I'm so in love with the song "On my way" sang by Phil Collins which is so so super duper nice. And Brother Bear was really especially nice because it talks about the brothers' love and you can really see Kena's growth throughout the whole movie. lol i wonder if I spelt his name correctly. Yes Brother Bear is recommended.
On the other hand, I'm the vice prez of my cca!!! Horrid. Haha I got the prez position but uh ah never gonna accept it and yesterday I had my first cca leaders training (they say its a meeting but oh well we know it). And it was pretty long and I was so super tired but my prez reminded me why I was there; cause we would rather be there than let our juniors be. Okay reason accepted. Pretty good reason too lol. But we just did stuff like listing down our strengths,weaknesses, opportunities and threats. At least we have our seniors with us. Haha idk it just feels more safe with them like you actually have backing up. I have no idea why I would need backing up in a normal no harm meeting like this. But I finally got why I'm afraid of leadership. When the teacher was going through the part on expectations of us and how after our fourth attempt at misbehaving, we will be dismissed of our post. But here's the thing, I don't want to lose my "privileges". I can't not wear my name tag and school badge now. I can't eat in class anymore. My skirt length have to reach my knees. (Not that I actually grow anymore but) You get the point, I cant even be late anymore. :( not that I was ever) but now that I'm student leader, I have to watch my actions. And my privileges all gone sia. :((( But okay I guess I will just try this leadership thingy out and gain exposure. And err we were supposed to gather in our cca groups and discuss about our cca structure and stuff. But haha we ended up talking about our juniors and problems we face in our cca. Its like a forum like thing where we sit in a circle and intro ourselves then we share our experiences. It was nice I really enjoyed it and I got to learn a lot about other ccas too. But they are just the clubs lah. There's Library and Editorial Club. There's Debate and Advocacy Club. There's AV and Photography Club. There's Infocomm Club. And yea, there's us-Environment Club. Oh oh my senior was suggesting that we change our cca name to make it sound cooler. I thought it was brilliant. (But i remember speaking to a couple of seniors about it a couple of years back.) Lol. Anyway, my senior suggested Earth Society. At least it sounds more sophisticated. I like my primary school's one-Eco Logic Club.
And er my sibling's birthday was around the corner so I made a birthday card. Here's a little picture:
Yes so as you can see, I have cut out a hole in the shape of the number 13. And I have also cut out cardboards in the shape of the number 13 and glued them together to give the card some interactive feature (?). But yup, I will probably be doing a card blog post on this design some time later. Look forward to it.
Sports Day is coming soon for my school. The heats are in July and I'm taking part in the 10x80m race as well as the 800m race. I'm actually rather excited for this year. Last year it was such a pity that I chickened out from the 10x80m race when my class got into the finals. I was afraid I would embarassed myself or I would bring my team down. Oh wow such confidence. But anyway I got someone from track to substitute me and my team won. I do know if I ad made the right choice but whatever it is, I'm not gonna chicken out anymore this year. That is well, if only we get into the finals lol.
I err went to the library today to get more books. I finally got the "We need to talk about Kelvin" book by Lionel Shriver. And I also got Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn as well as "A monster calls" by Patrick Ness. I do wish that I could make a book review/reflection post on these books as they do seem quite interesting and thought-provoking.
Yea, end of my blog post, thanks for reading and I hope to be blogging more often now that I'm rather free. :)

"Constantly mouth-hungry."
(Mouth-hungry is a fictional term I made up which means wanting to eat when you dont actually feel hungry. Upon learning about food in geography lessons this year, I realised that mouth-hungry aint so good after all. It's like eating unnecessary food which could have otherwise been used to satisfy the real hunger of someone else. Therefore, I'm trying to curb this "mouth-hungry" habit.)

Today we had cca and err we finally came to the handing down of leadership process. So today the sec 4 seniors interviewed us sec 3s and err needless to say, it was rather nerve-wracking. I wasnt quite expecting this cause even though I knew that the second batch of graduated sec 4s from our cca had their selection process through interviews but my current/third batch of sec 4s (not yet graduated) from our cca had theirs through a voting system. So I was kind of like er expecting that you know, ours would be in a voting kind of a system. Either way, I wasnt interested to be in the exco committee.
But I guess pretty much everyone wanted me to be part of the exco committee. They all have these high expectations of me and I'm just there like well you dont know me enough to be able to judge that I have the capability to lead the cca WELL. Key word in caps.
So when my first level mate went, the tension was high. Like I wont even lie. It was kind of like waiting for our turn to be slaughtered. Or embarrassed. Either way, it wasnt a situation you would like to put yourself in. We were quiet and I dont want to admit this but we were kinda calm? Yea a first for us but it was horrid. Just waiting there. When she came out she gestured for me to go next. "I picked you next." She says. Wow wow. Fantastic.
When I went into the room (it was kind of like our cca room though it wasnt officially named), my sec 4 seniors were all like in a semi circle like position and then there's this chair just like isolated. And its not just seniors from the exco team but you have like about 8-9 seniors staring at you. Oh 9-10 if you add the teacher at the back. The atmosphere was damn tense. I was feeling uncomfortable and they know it. And let the interview begin.
I would say it was easy at first. They just start by asking our interests, if we have other commitments, which do we prioritise more: studies or cca. Stuff like that. If I'm confident with public speaking. Etc etc. Then it got harder. Like what. What is one problem you think our cca faces and suggests a solution. They are probably trying to test my analytical skills here but if you dont already know, my analytical skills are close to non existence and whatup with the stressful atmosphere. With like 10 pairs of eyes staring at you. Scratch that. Twenty eyes staring at you. Eww. Interviews are never fun.
Then the questions just got harder and harder. But you see, the thing here about our level is that most of us actually almost all of us have zero or little interest in leadership roles. We just want to be part of the cca. We are satisfied with what we are now. And guess what, I suppose the sec 4s knew it and were trying to see if they could rope in one of our juniors into the exco committee. Cause like their question was Can you recommend any level 2 or level 3 student? And I of course recommended a level 3 like duh isnt this our reign now? Haha I recommended my first level mate. But then seniors proceeded to ask me about level 2s. So I just said one of them but I did add that I wasnt really close to them but from what I can tell during one of my experience with one of the juniors. Seriously in my brain I was just like seriously why you talking about level 2s even. To be honest, even though my level and I, no matter how much we hate leadership, there's no way we are ever going to let our juniors lead during our reign. Like whatup its like a dig to my pride and whatever else you call that. You know, I would rather be President (even though I was totally against it) than to have my junior be. Heck I wouldnt even allow my junior to take a small role like the treasurer. Heck, the idea alone is ridiculous enough. Gosh.
But the interview continues. It was damn tense and I would admit half of it goes to the teacher behind even though shes practically not doing anything. Actually technically, she is listening. And that's why the interview has to be kept formal. Towards the question that asked one problem and one solution that one^^, I suggested a flyer or a souvenir and one of senior A was like wont flyers just be thrown around and it's kind of hypocritical that we are from the Environment Club. In normal circumstances, I would have rolled my eyes at her and said fine souvenir then. But no we are in an interview where its formal and theres a teacher. So I had to very politely very formally reply oh let's do the souvenir then.
Ew gosh. Interviews are horrible. I swear, I really hope we can interview our juniors next year. Hehe make them experience what we felt. Muahahahahhaha.
By the way, on a side note, we worked in the garden today. And it was real tiring work but I would swear, that gardening is actually secretly fun and it bonds us together. We had to work with the sec 1s which feel like a big generation gap even though it was only a two year age gap. It was pretty awkward but we tried to hype things up a little. Especially me during the flipping of the compost bins. Oh and by the way pictures of "butterflies mating". I know I'm totally invading into their privacy but whatup it's not like they had any to start with in the first place. Beautiful. Seeing nature take its course in our very own garden. The garden we tend to. Knowing new life is created. It's amazing.
8 pictures to sum it up: (They are almost similar though lol) But i just wanted a nice deep caption.
Pretty much sums up what happened during cca today. Hope you enjoyed reading!

Hey guys. I have been pretty busy these days. So I havent been blogging much meh. Or even doing anything I enjoy much. But I have been reading Wattpad these days. Its the closest I have to leisure stuff. T.T And those of you who read Wattpad you gotta check this book out "Like hell" and then you gotta check the sequel out "Hell to pay" The plot is simply just awesome and the author is awesome too. Seriously, I have never seen someone else who is as interactive with her followers than her. She replies to comments on Wattpad. Like wow. Shes amazing. And so are her stories. Be sure to check her out.
And then she has also successfully inspired me to want to write a story as amazing as hers. So I have already thought of the story plot: A world where people cant speak. And then suddenly boom, this girl aka main character learns to speak and realises secrets of the world unknown to people. Oh my gosh! It sounds so interesting! But you see, the thing about me is that I have 0% talent in writing. and some interesting plot can become uninteresting to read. :(
But nevertheless, I think I'm gonna try it out someday. Key word: someday. XD Oh and guys if you havent already known I have written something in Wattpad. It's kinda embarrassing to say.T.T But I have this book called "For Good". Its not completed and stuff and I'm not sure I want to complete it.
Till the next time, readers.

"Wonder what people would say in my eulogy."
Well I thought about this when I first started reading newspapers and whenever someone dies (usually a student in an accident), the reporter would always ask friends/teachers/family/neighbours etc on their views on him/her when they were living. And the comments were always nice. At that moment, I thought about myself and what people would say if I were dead. Who the reporter would interview. Would it be nice comments or about how glad they are that I'm not alive to give them trouble anymore. Then I read The Fault in our Stars and cant help but think of the same thing, especially when they were conducting the "living" funeral for Augustus. And then there was the passing of Mr Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore's founding father, I watched the entire eulogy process. And now I'm left wondering what people would say in my eulogy.
P.S. 10 reads today before I posted anything!!!

I'm recently actually quite worried about schoolwork though I try not to be. But my graded assignments and test from Term One has been marked and is now returned to us. My geography wasnt that good to be honest. But you cant quite blame me because during the test period, my grandma passed away and most of the time was spent at her funeral, mostly praying for her. But the thing here is I dont think that many of classmates did well too so I just need to know what my ranking is, what my place in my class is. Maybe I'm one of the last in class. Eww horrid.
Then there's physics graded assignment which is fine but the thing is if everyone does fine too, then I'm not doing too well, again, I really need to know my ranking. Same scenario for maths. Aish.
Recently, on 23 March 2015, Mr Lee Kuan Yew passed away in SGH at 3.18 a.m. (It was the exact hospital my grandma was in.) I know you probably read around or heard many people say this but I dont think this can ever be said enough. He has really done a lot for our country Singapore, he's the father of our nation and he will always be in the remembrance of everyone's memory. His legacy will be known to kids in the future and passed on; it's like the flame of torch you see. He has lit the flame so brightly for us, and guided us through our toughest times of the country, brought us into independence with this flame of torch. Now, our biggest responsibility is to keep this torch burning for future generations and for Singapore. Really really hope that he could be with us for our SG 50 celebrations. It would have been so meaningful for him to see the nation turning 50 and coming thus far. But I guess I would say, I'm also glad that he doesnt need to suffer anymore and could soon be with his wife and watch over us in the skies. RIP Mr Lee Kuan Yew. You will always be remembered.
I'm recently actually quite worried about schoolwork though I try not to be. But my graded assignments and test from Term One has been marked and is now returned to us. My geography wasnt that good to be honest. But you cant quite blame me because during the test period, my grandma passed away and most of the time was spent at her funeral, mostly praying for her. But the thing here is I dont think that many of classmates did well too so I just need to know what my ranking is, what my place in my class is. Maybe I'm one of the last in class. Eww horrid.
Then there's physics graded assignment which is fine but the thing is if everyone does fine too, then I'm not doing too well, again, I really need to know my ranking. Same scenario for maths. Aish.
Recently, on 23 March 2015, Mr Lee Kuan Yew passed away in SGH at 3.18 a.m. (It was the exact hospital my grandma was in.) I know you probably read around or heard many people say this but I dont think this can ever be said enough. He has really done a lot for our country Singapore, he's the father of our nation and he will always be in the remembrance of everyone's memory. His legacy will be known to kids in the future and passed on; it's like the flame of torch you see. He has lit the flame so brightly for us, and guided us through our toughest times of the country, brought us into independence with this flame of torch. Now, our biggest responsibility is to keep this torch burning for future generations and for Singapore. Really really hope that he could be with us for our SG 50 celebrations. It would have been so meaningful for him to see the nation turning 50 and coming thus far. But I guess I would say, I'm also glad that he doesnt need to suffer anymore and could soon be with his wife and watch over us in the skies. RIP Mr Lee Kuan Yew. You will always be remembered.

Blog Post #12
Blog Post #12
Meh today was scolded by my mum. :( I swear my mum is the only person in the world who could make me cry by scolding me. I was supposed to meet my friends for a project at a hotel. But I didnt tell her when I'm going out and she only knew like what 20 minutes before I'm due to go out. So she kept me in the house to eat my lunch. But to be honest, I'm really thankful to her for keeping me at home because I'm sure I would be suffering if I go out, what with the super cold environment outside, as well as my uncomfortable stomach and the long journey. Well, I had stomach flu this morning, it felt like it though I didnt feel any intense pain. But my stomach felt weird the whole day at home. My mum isnt convinced; she says it's because of all the salad we ate these few nights. Well, but then I was having second thoughts if I should still go, what if I poop on the way there? But then I didnt want my mum to say I'm so paranoid and whatnot so I decided to just go. Therefore, I'm super glad that she decided to keep me at home because that gives me a reason to stay home and not go out to the hotel to interview whilst having an uncomfortable stomach situation.
But that's not the point of this blog post. The point today is on SALADS!!! As well as food art. So these few days, for dinner, my family and I have been eating salads and my mother ask me to help prepare them every night. At first I was just like whyyyyyyyy. But then I gradually started to appreciate the opportunity for me to create food art! And it is seriously very healthy to eat salads and also very fun to prepare them. I took some photos of my creations. But to be honest, my photo skills very bleh so the photos probably dont do the salad justice. But anyway let's give it up for SALADS!!!
But this one seriously taught me about colour combination and how colour is important in food (art).
Yup and that's about it. Oh and I just created a Twitter account @teeheestrawbery and also do follow on insta: theartof_creation. Main point of the blog: food art is really fun and salads are healthy. And remember keep making salads. :D
