BREAK OUT (escape now or never!)

Hihi people! Previously i was sharing on instagram about the thrills i had at BreakOut Escape Game with the smitten ladies, and now i finally had time to talk about it more!

So we managed to try 2 out of the 3 rooms they had, and it was such an eye opener partially cause it was my first ever escape game. It was really interesting!
Because there was around 8 of us, we separated ourselves into 2 groups and entered 2 different themed rooms before teaming up for the last and biggest room.

My group went for the "FOREVER YOUNG" themed room, plot is about a woman wanting everlasting youth, and some girls that went astray happen to find out about the woman's secret. Totally felt like a detective, the room had the perfect atmosphere for this theme, one of the darkest room! We practically took down the whole room trying to find codes here and there! haha never have i been so diligent looking into every details of what's in the room (toys, frames, wall, many more!)

The one all of us went together was the "MAGICIAN'S SECRET". This really require a lot of team work, even when there was 8 of us, it took us quite awhile to figure things out and we exceeded the time by 5mins!!! (at least we made it, so its not too bad, HAHA) Totally mind blown in how things were set up, and sometimes we gotta not just think outside the box but think WITHOUT the box, hahaha. The 8 of us sure got our brains fried. Nevertheless it was so much fun, and plus point for bonding session because we are stuck together in the room.

I would like to thank BreakOut Sg for having us and being really patient at explaining the games!

New Phrase (face) , wait what?

Let me start of my post with a smile, (inserts* smiley with teeth).  Yeap, you would probably guessed it right, I have officially joined the nerd club ; BRACE FACE.

If you asked, it actually took me quite long before i sort of come to the decision of putting on braces. I have never dared to do it since young, mainly because of the fear of pain, or rather i assume that my pain tolerance is super low, piercing my upper ear is already an issue, though i did it in the end, and tattoos...yes...i really wanted one, but my courage level is not there yet. Back to the topic ; another reason would be the fear of going to the dentist, just a harmless check up during the schooling days already scares me. Lastly, the adults (parents/relatives) around me didn't think it was necessary and thinks it's a waste of money.

Even though there are the fears, part of me would love to look better. Who doesn't wants to have perfect and straight teeth? who doesn't want to be able to smile confidently especially in close ups? What's more, i really think braces looks nice on people, lol.

I don't know why, some how along the way, it just happened, it happened so quickly, it wasn't in my mind, and it seems like it's all planned by God, like how God prompted my dad that he changed his mind, how people around me encouraged me, how i really want to prove to this particular person who brought me down in the past that i can be better off,  how i got to met this lady at a random retail stall who recommended me and my dad to a good dentist. These are like the first steps. The second step came when i had to extract 4 teeth, which WAS the worst nightmare of my life, nothing can describe how afraid i was, every moment thinking of the pain i had to go through. YES I'M A SCARDY CAT OKAY. How i eventually GOT through it... was God as well. There's a unexplainable peace He gave while counting down the days. AND IT DIDN'T HURT AS MUCH AS I THOUGHT IT WOULD, in fact it wasn't that bad... when friends said it was like ant bite, who am i kidding right? i thought so to myself, but now, i totally agree. It was painful, but i could take it, so THANK GOD.

So that's it. Here i am still alive and well. Thanks to all who asked and cared about me during this period. (i shall exclude those obviously just kpo ones) haha.

Braces made a big change to my lifestyle. Here are some changes, mostly typical, others are just me :
- Metals and foreign little objects in your mouth = GaoWei.  Especially parts that go against your gums and lips.
- I can no longer bite off from my front teeth, which means i can no longer eat my apple and bite my chicken wings the same again :<
- My front teeth seems pretty useless as of now, while the back teeth are working super hard every time i eat.
- I eat a lot and i don't think twice when i eat, but now i have to say no to certain kinds of food , BUT IT SHALL NOT STOP ME FROM EATING AND EATING. FOOD MAKES ME HAPPY, YOU DO NOT TAKE THAT AWAY FROM ME. Sadly this may be the reason why i'm easily moody nowadays because braces deprived me of certain good food, not for long that i can't chew, but sometimes it's just the problem of food camping in between your brackets.
-Talking bout' that, I have never been more diligent in brushing and cleaning my teeth, takes me about 10-15mins just to keep my entire mouth clean, making sure no food is stuck in between ANY teeth or brackets, yup i'm not lazy and i'm super anal bout' it.
-I have to go to the toilet after every meal just to clean my teeth. (it's already a habit)
-It causes me to develop sweet tooth... something that i won't really go for in the past. Maybe because they are mostly soft. (ice cream, cakes, pudding)
-I can't help but drool when i sleep. HEH.
-I can smile widely without being insecure already. Braces blocked out the flaws.
-I fear less now. (of the dentist)
- Eats much slower (duh, i take longer time to chew)
-I can't pronounce some words.

ok, i can't think of anything else at the moment but i'm sure there's more. In any case, I like braces :) They are actually pretty nice to have.

Here's the brace faces:

XOXO, Vee

I will tell you all about it when i see you again.

Hello hello...
darn, it's been so long since i updated this space yea... well, kinda lost tid bit of motivation and life has been...pretty boring in this period of time i must say. And... this would probably be the most "late night thoughts" kind of post, i promise to keep up the spirit in times to come, haha. If you must know, i blurpppp out all my thoughts mainly on my tumblr , so go ahead if you are that curious, please also know that i am only human uh, so no judging kk (:

This period is really a waiting period for me. I am still so uncertain about my next phrase of life. Uni is my main concern, NTU has kept me waiting since forever, and the deadline to accept a uni is like next week? thus time is not on my side and i have to make a decision soon, I pray and pray that NTU can give a proper reply like SOON, and do keep me in prayers yea (:

Been working part time and freelance opportunities still (thank God) , been attending alumni trainings every 3-4 days a week, so you can picture me dancing half of my week away, tiring but good workout excuse too, to keep my body in shape, haha. So as you can see, life has been pretty the norm for me, just..nothing much to look forward to as for now, so sometimes i just feel a little 'sian' . Wanted to travel so badly too.

Just need to remind myself to continue to let God be the anchor of everything, life isnt bad, but that doesn't mean i don't need him, in fact we will always need Him more than we think we should.

"May i never forget. On my best day, that i still need God as desperately as i did on my worst day"

Typing this paragraph got me reminded of the times i get to spend with my friends one to one, I am truly thankful for the friendships forged, you know who you are if you have been seeing me at least once this month, hehe. I love you guys.

Oh follow me on snapchat: thosepixels for live updates!
As for why the name... cuz i had an account wayyyyy before snapchat was updated and became main stream, about 3 years ago (?!) , the period where snapchat can only be used within one to one friends in your contact list, and ya, that was also my past instagram name, lol. I grew up ok. haha.

And to end of with pictures to lighten the mood!

xoxo, Vee

Keep it real, keep it going

Why hello,

It's already April?! Say whutttt. Oh and, happy belated Easter! (:

This post is much probably a more personal one, and its also the reason why i keep writing. "The Cross" ; Easter service was one that touches me deep down in my heart, and also from that special friend of mine, I've learnt much.

I teared during the documentary. We all had our own sets of struggles, we all failed in many ways, we sin countless times, we can never ever be perfect. Sounds really pathetic aren't we? being humans. BUT this is where Jesus comes in. When we fall in love with Him all over again, and know how much He loved us, we know that we go through life's struggle without having to be alone. You are not alone, you are set free and no longer slaves to sin. We are still not perfect, we will never be, we may fall back to square one, but we will always, always have Jesus, and that is thus, A BEAUTIFUL STRUGGLE. 

On that rugged cross, Christ died for us. Thank you Lord for the cross.

Isaiah 53:5

"But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on Him, and by His wounds we are healed."

Let us keep this close to our hearts too.

Another thing i would like to share here, something that i've read up recently and it spoke so much sense into me so i am pretty sure it will to you too.

We all aim to be real in every aspects of our life, and that includes our relationship and walk with God. To discover the real us, we gotta take a look at what we personally spend time think about, when no one is looking, when nothing is forcing us to think about anything in particular. At such moments, do we thoughts go towards God?

We may want to be humble, unassuming person, but do we take the initiative to confess our sins before God? We wish to be perceived as a positive, cheerful person, but do we habitually thank God for everything we have and praise Him for who He is? We may speak a great deal about what a "blessing" your faith is and how you "really love the Lord" but if you are prayer-less – is that really true? If we aren't joyful, humble, and faithful IN PRIVATE before God, then what we want to appear to be on the outside won't match what we truly are.

This made me reflect about my own private life to, I may speak about how much I love God, but I lack prayers. we are all growing in different areas and it is ok to fail sometimes, the real deal is what you choose to do after you failed. 

Keep it real, keep it going.

With His love and mine,

Vee
