The Malaysian Abroad: The little things ...

I know I've been a grumpy little fuck these passed few days but I'd like to thank God and the universe for making my day, today to be exact, a very very good day! First of all, my period finally arrived, so you can imagine the relief I felt when all my hormones settled down. I feel so calm at the moment. Because of that, I gathered all the motivation I had lying around and decided to be more productive. Yesterday, I completed my proof-reading and research work (for this week), which made me super happy. ACCOMPLISHMENT!

Today, I decided to join the Instagram #creativemarch project by Red Hong Yi; you can read about it on her blorg HERE! And Red really liked it! AHH! Happy saya! She called me brilliant! *twirls like a ballerina*

I got a cheque from the kindergarten that didn't hire me too; I assume because they felt bad that I went through so much training and decided to not hire me ... BUT THANKS ANYWAY! Super grateful! First pay cheque ever! Feels super good.

Chilled at Dr. Cafe for a bit while reading up on Oliver Hilbert (I've made it a point, to myself, to read more about artists, designers and architects from everywhere. I just wanna learn) and decided to Insta a photo of a couple of pieces I liked by him. Then ... he followed me on Instagram. AH WTH! EMBARRASSING MUCH?! Nao I have to post up better things ... haha okay larhhh more like more interesting things. MALU NYER. But thanks. :) Stalking him more nao ahakzzz ~

And also, I've started a schedule for myself! Every Wednesday is my workout day! I know, once a week of exercise. Is there even a difference? For me, yes! When I did yoga once a week (once upon a time), my body was in tip top shape! I was so flexible! So I decided, if I wanna work out, I have to make time for it, at least once a week and watch my diet. More healthy food! Should be good hehe. SUPER GOOD DAY WEYH. And I jogged + did jumps + squats this evening. HAWYEAH FEEL DA BURN. My legs are gonna fall off yo ... it's a start.

Okay lots of crap. I'm just so happy today it's unbelievable. HEHEHE!

So recently, I got the opportunity to work with a bunch of KDU College students on this mural painting project for the National Cancer Society Malaysia. The lecturer and students approached me for a few children-friendly designs for 3 of the bedrooms in the NCSM building. It was the first time I had to design something very kid-ish so it was a lil strange ... but the outcome was so cute! Couldn't believe I designed such things. Haha. Got help from my beloved college mates too! They helped me with supervising, mixing paint and painting. THANKS BABEHZ.

The serious painting mixing session. YL and Teck Hong were like took this job WAY too seriously. Hahahaha!

HAIII. :B

Dexter, matching the wall.

Teck Hong, painting with his fingers, like a genius.

The candy room!

Simba being Simba.

The Aeroplane room! This was the original and first design that I did and it got chosen! Hoora!

I like to draw trains so this was my chance to throw a train onto a wall. LOL! Zoo Choo Choo Train!

This was like the most random design I did. I was craving for macarons and desserts so I ended up drawing it out and the people from NCSM like loved it ... so nao this vomit of colour is on a wall.

Thanks for the opportunity, people from KDU! :) Ms. Jothy (Dexter's mom's friend), Ivan and Raf for contacting me. Really appreciate it and loved participating in the project! Hope to do more in the future.

After that we went for Thai food at KLPAC for Yvonne Tan's birthday! Haha! I think she thought we wouldn't celebrate this year but we ended up bringing her to a gorgeous place and methinks she loved it. HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY MUSHROOM. Love you forever!
