#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... completed 23 of 31 in 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... 


*update on 3 November... nope... didnt achieve higher number of completion... in fact, it was a pathetic number of completion at just 5 out of 31 by the last day of October!!!... 😅😅😅... but decided to continue with it into the other months as and when i have the mood for some doodling...

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

Thanks Jeo for the 4 Premium tickets to One Love Asia Festival... We thoroughly enjoyed the interesting experience of being so upfront and close to the vocalists from Simply Live and 歌手s; 瘦子, 郁可唯, 庾澄庆, 陈洁仪 and 薛之谦... except that we were 'dying' from thirst (no water bottle allowed & drinks were freaking expensive) and hurting feet from the 5 hours+ of standing... 😅😅😅

taking a rest on the floor in between sets... 😅😅😅

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... 😍😍😍

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!!! 😍😍😍
