Proud to be a child of God, a faithful son (I hope lol) a trying to be hardworking student, a part-time worker, a nerf/milsim enthusiast, a crafting and music lover and an awesome friend. to you :) Hope you have an enjoyable time reading about my life, as much as I have fun living it! |

I am a university student who loves chocolate! Coffee is my best buddy when it comes to taking on my finals. I have a tendency to want to try and do so many different things at once and as a result, I've found my hobbies to be as such!
Nerfing is one of them, but aside from that, I also love arts and craft. I have my own startup, Thumbforlego at: where I sell my works!
I love to do all sorts of crafting, so you will see me uploading posts of my leathercrafts, thumbdrives, replica guns, nerf gun modifications and gundam models! I'm fortunate enough to be blessed by really supportive parents and given the chance to explore many, many parts of the world and try out a plethora of activities. This is also how I discovered my love for film photography, videography and piano.
The film photo above is unedited! My family loves cold countries xD. We managed to catch the northern lights twice!
I've also gotten the chance to experience many of nature's wonders
And my most freezing experience to date: riding a husky ski sled into the sunset (It was -38 to -40 degrees celsius and the huskies were pretty fast.)

Why 36000feetabove? This is the altitude that commercial planes cruise at and I have always loved the view up in the sky, being amongst the sea of clouds. :) Personally, my favourite favourite food has got to be airplane buns! Does anyone else feel the same way?! With a slice of butter and looking out of the window, I have yet to find an experience that can beat that.
After tomorrow, before today

SO SORRY GUYS FOR NOT POSTING ANYTHING haha i've been very VERY busy lately, because of work ( no longer army) and also because of all the nerf stuff that i am trying to complete. Oh of course not to miss out church commitments! There's really a lot of stuff that needs to be done...sadly. These past few days have been really crazy hectic, definitely more hectic than being in camp xDI've been working and working, and for the record, last night was the first time in 6 days that i managed to get a proper good night's rest and to be able to take a meal in proper, sitting down. Oh yes! other than that one instance whereby we could try out the food during the training session hehe :P Other than that, i usually have a waffle for breakfast and it lasts me till past midnight~! What i am glad about ORDing is that the most direct impact would be the mornings. I get to sleep a whole lot more and wake up a lot later than when i'm in camp (8am) though it's already very good that we get to wake up so late in camp. :) SO during this march-may period, i gotta look for a job! but thank God that i've already found a job even before i ORD! :D really glad that i've gotten a job that i like. :) Need to really get used to the whole motion of the F&B industry, i am only used to eating food, not so used to serving food! :P Before i carry on, how about a photo? :) Haha do you know where i work at yet? :P See if anyone can guess what eatery this is :) Well soon after pasting that green sticker onto my 11B, yep yep finally that NS MAN sticker >:) am i happy that i ord-ed? Ummmm yes-no. Like i dont know....to me, its just a phase in life that everyone has to go through, Sooner of later, guys will have to enlist, some will ord, some will rod. Well it's just a chapter! but i am glad that i've had a memorably good NS experience, filled with lots of stories that i can tell my friends in the future! Oh wow, my address is there.. let me grab a marker.... Yeah, after NS is over, i finally am bothered to call up the piano tuner to help me tune my piano! little did i know that actually, my piano is VERY VERY old. Well good thing is that since its a Yamaha and it's old, it means that it has a pretty unique sound to it? and also, its DEFINITELY NOT going to be made in indonesia or china.... Nowadays all of these pianos have really identical sounds. But i love the sound of my piano, just that the keys are way too light :( Japanese made pianos have very light piano keys...unlike their western and european counterparts. Here's a link to find the age of your yamaha piano or where it is made! Hmmm so now i've moved on to working and here are the people that i've trained with! it was really interesting learning on the history of Awfully chocolate (AC) as well as trying out piping. Trying to sell the cake was actually harder than i thought it would be :P but anyway, since i'm a guy, i've got to work in NineThirty instead, which is the restaurant style dining, which is a branch of the AC line. :) Learning how to pipe was really interesting, it was the first time ever, and i was realllllllyyyy slow. i mean like which guy actually does this?! hehe but it still turned out pretty decent didnt it! i only realised how slow i was when i actually started work at the outlet, not telling ya which outlet! but like how the experienced manager did it? Whoa...lightning fast and yet accurate man :S plus it looks so good! xD scaryyyyy. Ah but only the over-the-counter girls get to do piping. My job is more of a waiter, serving customers when they dine in. I'm still trying to learn all the table numbers....they get really confusing at times. Plus i/m all new to the whole work and F&B thing. :) in fact, this is my very irst time working! I know right... im like a master slacker every holiday, just stay at home and laze around, relax, chill :PP watch the days go by, simply spend lots of time wandering around aimlessly either at home or at east coast park since it's so near to my place xD while the rest of the peoeple are usually trying to earn some money during the holidays :P for me, i don't spend much on myself. i think. okay maybe not lolol but hey enough for me to get by and have some savings too. So you know getting into this while working thing now...its for me to fufill my building fund! That's my primary objective. When i went online to check the balance, and checking it with my bank account, i was like WOAH okay something has to be done xD So....that's one of the reasons :P Secondly, its also because i dont want to just rot away at home, but instead go out there and learn a skill or two, beef up my resume a bit and gain some experience, as well as make new friends! I've really learnt a lot during this short span of one week on how F&B works, how does it feel to be serving customers, i mean like yes i do serve in church, but the environment is just different. Thankfully, i have really nice managers! Obviously i've gotten a lot of nit-picking already since i'm totally new to this, but i'm gradually getting used to the job and all so things should work out a whole lot better as the days and my shifts go by. Instead of going for an admin job or a full time job, i chose awfully chocolate, although the pay too is a lot less stable and most probably lower than the full time office jobs i was offered. Mainly because i knew that the environment and people i mix around with would be really bubbly! this is true, and fellow employees are really appreciative to one another. parents dissed it off as being pretentious but nah, you can feel the genuinity amongst one another. However, the working hours can be pretty long at times and we've got to stand up through out. To sum it up, its fun but tiring. Frankly speaking, on the overall, i've had a positive experience so far working for Awfully Chocolate or NineThirty some would say, for the first week. :) I really do not know if my injured knee can handle the long-standing hours of work, but if it doesnt work out....i will probably have to source for other jobs.. see how it goes~ |
