OK this one is really random but I was proud of myself – had to wake up super early to send my ahgong off at the airport~ he’s nearly a century old but still travelling so cute HAHA

Hung out at Room2F a few times~ we played Monopoly and everybody else was too sharp for me to outwit (another way of saying it is that they very 賤 HAHAHA) nobody wanted to take up my offer SIAN PLS BUY MY PROPERTY

Also managed to do some clothes shopping for the EP launch (shhhh, supposed to not reveal but ok here it is LOL)

It was a reallyyyyyy busy month prepping for gigs and the EP launch and settling all the admin stuff, I almost died (but we all know is 死不了的) – other work stuff includes:

Going on YES933 for some singalongs + to shamelessly promote the new EP & launch 😀 THANKS SIKAI FOR ALWAYS HAVING MY BACK and agreeing to endless rehearsals + new songs hahahahaha

A live collaboration with Akeem Jahat for Hear65! This one was really fun, I enjoyed it and I learnt so much from this guy~ I went into this without any expectations that it would turn out any good (but being the chiongster I am I went into it anyway HAHA), but this was really an experience I can never forget ✨

So this guy just came up to me “EHHHHHH you’re meiting right” and I’m like “what have I met you before oh shit” (this is happening inside my head because it happens all the time lol) and he was like “we should take a photo and I’ll send it to Desmond”!! And I’m like panicking like “Desmond from Esplanade?!?!?! oh shit who this” but turns out I have never met him he’s just friendly HAHA sorry the introvert in me cannot

Other gigs include a really special one at Retrophonic Records for Record Store Day! The bestie’s mom co-owns the store, and she feeds me good food that I cannot afford HAHA, so you cannot imagine how happy I was to be able to give back with my art (although I look very tired because wake up 7am) 😪

Had to walk around because they wanted to look at the frogs (more than 10 times, not even trying to count) + “can you jump like a frog??” + “LET’S GALLOP!!” + a look that says “carry me i want to go to this place oh no that place”
