need shorter posts
Gahh!! I've got
a lot of things to say; my life is headed in a different direction than I thought it would head months ago.
But I'm making an effort to make my posts shorter instead of each post being a long word-vomit. I care about my blog's UX.
schoool stuff
FINSIHED MY FYP REPORT AND PRESENTATION!!!
Two potential investors after I presented it during the FYP Innovation Award pitch!
I didn't win but I made friends with the other presenters and they're cool people!

latin american fair
After the FYP report submission, my friends and I went to Big Box at Jurong East, lay on all the beds, sat on all the sofas and rocking chairs, and stumbled upon a Latin American fair where we got free wine, which we drank while sitting on a rocking bench. It was chill, it was perf.
Soccat, the faculty mascot I designed, is now in 3D. This is my legacy lolol I am very proud.

My friends are really into this series of party games called '
Jackbox Party' available on Steam. If you've got a group of friends, I completely recommend this group game. Only one person needs to own it.
- You get to stare at your phone and not interact with anyone, yet you're interacting with everyone by playing this game. PERFECT.
- One of the games, Fibbage, involves making up ridiculous lies and getting people to believe you. You get to learn interesting facts along the way. When someone chooses your lie, you feel so proud of your lie-baby.
family update
My mom's
discharged from IMH, but now she is
refusing to go for appointments, take medicine or allow home visits. She promised to do those.
She's listless and depressed right now and just stays home all day and my
dad is absolutely against sending her back anymore. He lies to IMH that she is fine. On a positive note, she stopped picking up trash from rubbish bins. IMH also made her clean up their house a bit. Actually, my dad did the clean up while my mom did nothing as usual.
I don't really care or want to.
I'm not expecting much change anymore. My dad is content and I don't want to push it. Who knows if she will return to her old behaviors? If they are content living their life in squalor (e.g. house that is never cleaned, boxes piled everywhere) then
okay. I've got my own life to live too.
I also can't say IMH dealt with this perfectly. Was there a need to ward her for 2 months, and only send a doctor to tend to her once a week? What is the purpose of making her stay there doing nothing? While she was there, why didn't they send therapists to speak to her about her depression? So, I can't even defend them.
One good thing that came out of this was, a social worker from IMH brought her church cell group to help us clean up one of our houses! There were around 20 people. Huisuan and my bf also came down to help. Lovely, kindhearted people that I'm forever grateful to!
The volunteers
We filled up two entire containers, they cost $650 each.

After!
My dad was supposed to find someone to rent it but it hasn't been rented out though.
It's okay. I'm chill and have been marathoning many kdramas.
