朋友们，你们好吗？
今天想说用华文来写博客，可能会帮助到我的华文程度。多写多讲华语应该会有些进步吧！用华语表达自己对我来说有时不是很自然，感到字卡在喉咙似的。简单的东西当然会，但比较少用的词汇就根本没听过也没用过，当然不熟啦~
但我觉得用华语表达自己，有时也有一点点的诗意，你觉得呢？
圣诞节将来临，你们期待吗？十二月是我最喜欢的月份，因为整个月都有假期啦，有圣诞节活动还有自己的生日。今年生日吃到海鲜自助餐，真幸福！你看看这雪蟹！
好久没去吃自助餐了！现在因为新冠病毒，食物是用点的，不能任意像平日自己拿。讲究卫生嘛。
朋友们也送来了卡片，冰淇凌和各种甜品蛋糕。真谢谢你们送来的惊喜！
我个人呢，给自己买了一个天蓝的iPad Air，想用来画画。（记得在IG跟随@chubbycat88哦)
当我尽情投入一样东西时，会百分百地投入，觉得有一点不健康。所以还是刻出一些时间来做其他的爱好，比如看书，音乐。
这几天忙着忙着，突然发现2020年也快结束了。有什么感受？有点儿期待。希望明年会更好！
就先写到这里了，

It's a massive plate but we managed to finish it. It ended up being our dinner lmao. You know how curly fries are usually very salty, a la Macdonalds? These were just nice, and not to mention, plenty crunchy! Great sharing plate for sure. I love how they had a special crescent moon bowl to encourage more photo taking opportunities. Smart.
They accept Cash and PayNow, but not credit cards. Seems like we are gonna be a digital nation!
Special mention: friendly owners and a playlist that is more of my generation lmao (like Give Me Everything by Pitbull ft.Neyo. You know the song: Grab somebody sexy, tell them hey!)
It's a nice space to catch up with friends for desserts or for a nice cafe date. They also serve dishes like pasta but we haven't tried those haha.
Pint and Dine, we wish you all the best!
Love,
Skye

Hi friends!
Nope, I'm not dead, just been busy! In a blink of an eye, November flew by and now we're in December, my favourite month of the year!
Chubbycat88 Updates
Chubbycat has been very busy!
To be really honest, making any kind of art, music, illustration or dance etc really requires you to put yourself out there and be vulnerable. Many of the (cute aesthetic) artists on IG seem rather young and oozing with talent, and I think one way I get rid of any doubts is to really just keep it real and be thick skinned. Obviously there are tens of thousands of people out there with arguably better art, but I'm the only one doing art by me. So I'll keep that close to my heart and keep going on.
With every illustration I find myself learning new things about software, drawing and about myself. I'll challenge myself and see how far we can go!
I joined a #DTIYS (Do This In Your Style) challenge and got to draw souffle pancakes. It really is a joy to combine two hobbies into one (food and cute things).
We are also now live on Shopee and Carousell!
Hahaha it's been really fun so far. A little bit stressful but we must take the bitter with the sweet. Wishing you a wonderful month to close the year!
Today Si Min and I went to 3Arts for a 2.5 beginner pottery session. I drew Ellie Flowers with a pottery wheel and apron after my sesh.
The teacher demonstrated the steps. We learnt how to Centre, Open, Centre again, and Pull.
Pottery is much harder than it looks. The instructors make it look so easy but now I know for a fact that it isn't. The clay is much harder than expected, especially at the start when you have to centre it!
Pulling is super difficult. Every time I get to this stage, my piece breaks off and I need to get a new mound of clay. Aigoo.

| Me hard at work. LOOOL |
After a while my wrists ached. I am an old lady. You have to be steady, patient and firm when working with clay!

We bought our package from Fave and topped up $10 for every piece we wanted to keep, fire and glaze. However, the pieces will only be ready after 2 months! Looking forward to seeing them again after they go through 1000deg of heat. Braving the fire and through the passage of time? That's a keeper for sure.
One of the driving motivations behind the new illustration account (@chubbycat88) is so that I can make postcards!
I wanted to make some cute ones for Christmas! These actually came before the other illustrations on the account, simply because the printers needed lead time to carry out the printing :x
Printing has been a slight nightmare because of colour issues, but I think I now know what to avoid for the next time round! Can't wait to make more designs hehe.
So far I have been very very lucky to have friends who support me! They made the first orders for the shop and helped me spread the word. Thank you very very much <3

Hey guys!
Recently I've been busy with my illustration hobby. I finally made an Instagram account for it! You can check it out here at: @chubbycat88.
I've been making pics daily because you know me, I like doing things in bursts of energy. I think it helps me express and release all my chaotic energy. I feel like I'm either in one of these two modes : frenetic, or languid. Is there an in-between?
I really like drawing cute things though~!
I also made some of these into free phone wallpaper that you can download here! Enjoy!!! My mum is using the Piggie wallpaper now.
Currently I'm just drawing with my mouse on Photoshop. It's a pain but I guess you get used to it. Wondering if I should get Procreate or a wacom, but I think I'll go learn Adobe Illustrator first! Small steps, big dreams.
Here's to chasing our dreams!
Love,
Skye
