11th Oct (Fri)

我人生第一个 omakase is @ Ishi... 好佩服 Claire 有勇气带一个不吃 sashimi 的人去吃 japanese omakase... stress 死我了... 好怕会浪费好贵好贵的食材... 好怕得逼自己吞下咽不下去的食材... 


结果是我想太多了... 真的好好吃... i dont know what we were enjoying as our chef had quite a strong japanese accent and i i guess even if i heard him accurately, i also wont know what he was telling me as i highly suspect this food palate, chef's special omakase, is leaps & bounds beyond my knowledge... 

all cooked, aburi, cos i no eat raw 



thanks Claire for gifting me an interesting and once in my life-time experience as this hatchday celebration... 😍😍😍

Thank you Monisha, Hena & Winnie, Mrs Selvam, Julia and Evelyn for feeding me 饱饱 this celebrative day... 😍😍😍


1st Oct (Tue)

spent the first day of my favourite month @ kkh, completing step 1 of 3 to my 6 weeks HL next year... not totally a meh since i got to sleep 3 hours more on a supposedly work day and spent less than an hour clearing whatever i needed to clear there... 


went for a haircut @ Okinawa followed by a hair-loss treatment @ Two Herbs... so glad i found the solution to my hair-loss which was giving 爱美 爱看起来年轻点儿 的我 so much stress from March to May this year... 

    

spent about an hour in the library finishing up this book that impresses me with the author's commitment & skill to teach her child bit by bit since young and the many hats she wears > she's the main care-giver to her son with Autism + she's the author of 2 books + she organises talks where she shares her experiences locally & overseas + she's a tutor to special needs children + she, together with her son occasionally, sells donuts @ LYTMUZ TEST... 😮😮😮

found another 2 books to borrow home in an attempt to develop a reading habit... 💪💪💪



collected my first hatchday prezzie of the year > free medium honey green tea with pearl from koi... 


went hamster walk walk with Joyce and even got mood to complete #1 of Inktober 2024 on BACKPACK...


i love today... 好充实的一天!!! 😍😍😍

#Inktober 2024

it happened again!!! Inktober crossed my mind on this very first day of this yearly challenge and i happened to have the energy & mood & idea to want to give it a go today... 


74% completed my first Inktober in 2020 ... had lots of fun yet was stressed at the same time... hopefully can achieve higher number of completion this round... 


Gonna to :

  • focus on proportion and perspective 
  • train my eyes, hand coordination by doing still-life drawing or drawing based on ref pics of mine if i can locate them within this blog
  • sketch in whichever order i feel like it
  • sketch in pencil then go over with ink into my Work Planner 2024... gonna keep it simple & casual & fuss-free... 😂😂😂
