I know it's technically isn't really Circuit Breaker, but it sure does feel like it.

Since it's the second time around, I decided to do some things differently!

  • Call my friends more.
    Since I won't be seeing them for a while, I shall call them more often! Text messages are fine and dandy but it's lacking the 'human touch' as compared to a voice or video call. Hope it helps us to stay in touch better! It's nice to hear each other's voices and to communicate in real time since messages get spread out over the span of the day.

  • Take it easy.
    We're living in a pandemic, after all. It's dumb to pretend that everything is fine. We can't do our work the same way so we shall adapt and make the best out of it. Sometimes work actually becomes more efficient? Maybe staying at home helps everyone feel more energised which may help their focus.
Same same
  • Still exercising.

  • Played games more for entertainment than an escape of reality.
    2020 - Animal Crossing Pocket Camp V.S. 2021- Genshin Impact

    Genshin Impact is my first ever RPG game and it's been really fun!  (I didn't play Maple or Audition when I was younger. In fact I didn't even have a Gameboy to play Pokemon.) It's a game with beautiful anime-style graphics. How lovely!!

    This is my Traveller when I was lower level! I now also have Noelle and Qiqi that I got from Wish events, yay! (I'm now at Adventure Rank 19)

  • Still reading! Read a book about two best friends called 'Firefly Lane', and am watching the series on Netflix now. 

New
  • Making art! Both digital and physical. Including crafts like embroidery. 
  • Went out to cycle! 


Nope
  • This time round I have not cooked or baked at all. All these kitchen activities are done by my sister and mother. My sis is big on cooking and baking and have been experimenting with sourdough lately.
What have you guys been up to?

PM Lee is about to announce something in 30mins, I wonder what's it gonna be.

Stay safe and healthy!

Skye

Hey friends!

Hope your weekend went well. 

Mine was filled with great home cooked food by my sis and mum!

We had a Taco Night.

Dad ordered the Taco Shells and mix for the ground beef from Lazada because it's cheaper there than NTUC! You still have to toast the taco shells btw. 



We prefer crispy tacos to soft tacos. Mum got the ground meat from the market.


What a spread! Everything prepared by my sister, including the mushroom chicken quesadillas! She makes them using Gardenia wraps heheh. 


She made different types of salsa. One tomato 'pico de gallo' that my parents love, an avocado based one, and a chili flakes mango one which is my favourite!


We also had a watermelon mint salad with cheese! The mint was freshly plucked from our plant at home.  Didn't get feta cheese in time so I think we used this garlic chives cream cheese we had.

You may be wondering, what did I contribute to the dinner?

Here's a nice, long exhaustive list.

  • Contributed ideas for the mango salsa and watermelon salad (inspired by my friend who whipped it up for a dinner party)
  • Played Mexican music
  • Danced
  • Played noisy maracas
  • Got told off
  • Ate a lot
  • Did some dishes
Lmao.

Cheers to a new week!

Love,
Skye



Hello hello from the land of CB2.0!

Or some call it CB Lite. (Circuit Breaker, aka lockdown.)

Here are some updates on my life:

💜 Painted a rilakkuma ice cream on a square canvas that I got from Popular! Went for the cute route haha. I think I'll do a digital illustration of this too. Thanks Linghong for another great art sesh!

💚 I have finally, finally made it to Unit 3 for Bahasa Indonesia on Duolingo! Hip hip hurray! This is using Duo consecutively after about 107 days. 



I also started learning some Korean alphabet on the side. Duolingo isn't good for the alphabet imo.

💙 HBL is out in full throttle so I've been on Zoom all day long too. How are you guys coping with being at home? I have mostly been in, except for running and once when I went out to run errands and grab lunch. I've been running about 2km and doing Yoga every other day! Doing yoga after months of no yoga really makes you feel super sore.

💛 The new BTS single 'Butter' is out! I love it (more than Dynamite :x ...) I feel like the boys are more confident in their English now! The song is indeed smooth like butter.




How does Usher feel being name dropped? Haha. And howw many GEN Z are gonna check out 'U GOT IT BAD?'

Also, wow there were LOADS of great tae shots. I feel like Jin had lots of fun too HAHA!


Which other artist drops their fandom name in their song? Haha check out this cap when the song was only at 5million views.  It's at 
31,502,354 views right now (after 2 hours). 
Amazing. Worldwide domination indeed.


I also love Jimin's hair!!! The slick back gives me pastel Joker vibes.


I never knew JK had an eyebrow piercing haha. He really looks like an anime boy with the sports attire. Like someone on the Free! team. Maybe Rin hahaa.


Suga rapping in English was also so CUTEEE.


The rap line especially J-Hope didn't get much song time but at least he wrapped up the song! Beautiful blonde hair haha. 

💜Also did a TikTok duet for the first time with Jacob Collier. It's so much fun! Gotta say it's my first time hearing the song 'Overjoyed' from Stevie Wonder. Singing it somehow really imparts a lot of joy. How amazing! 
@speciallyi

##duet with @jacobcollier ##overjoyedchallenge hahaha kinda late to this challenge but how can you pass up a chance to duet w jacob?! 😍

♬ original sound - Jacob Collier
TikTok is really good for short projects haha. Definitely useful for anyone who is procrastinating cuz they don't want to start on a long-format project which requires recording, producing the song, shooting, and producing the video once more. In contrast, you can get a TikTok done in less than an hour!!! Don't worry, I still have long format projects in the works...

💙 Got some new kicks from ALDO too! Loving the sunny rainbow vibe. Too bad I can't wear it out anywhere 😂



Alright, I gotta scoot now to do some work. See yall in a bit! Stay safe my friends! 😀

Love,
Skye

 Hey friends!

Just wanted to share my newest eco thing. I received two free beeswax wraps after doing a survey about the pandemic exhibit at the National Museum! I was really excited. They come in four designs. 

I have seen people using beeswax wraps but have never tried it myself. Here goes nothing.



You can gently mould the wrap to cover your container, or fruit (say a half cut avo). I tried it on a large soup bowl. It was fun! 

Apparently you just have to wash them gently with soap after you're done! You have about 100 uses before you need to re-wax the paper. Interesting! The idea is to replace plastic cling wrap.

Not suitable for keeping meat! I'll continue to use them and see how they fare.

I don't think these are available anymore. The following week they gave out free cushions in the same 4 designs. 

Have you tried using beeswax wraps before? What do you use them for? LMK, I'm new to this!

Cheerios!

Skye


Update:

Tried wrapping half an avocado, didn't work too well. We'll just use these wraps as bowl lids.

On the bright side, I introduced these wraps to my dad and he has taken to using them instead of plastic clingwrap! Score one for the eco-team!
