Let's be Friends in Harry Potter: Wizards Unite! My Friend Code is: 0083 6681 7526.

I went for a job interview earlier today and yep, I screwed up epicly. But god, I really needed it. This was my first interview in four years. I needed to practise my body language and how to "sell" myself.

I dislike and dread interviews immensely because I am socially awkward, especially when meeting new people. I only tend to loosen up after a couple rounds of interaction. I have mild? anxiety and am constantly second-guessing what I said and did. I might even be autistic? I don't know, I do not particularly feel like going to the doctors for a proper diagnosis. I fear it may leave a record permanently and thereafter affect my chances of securing a job. The local society is still not very kind to people who are not 100% healthy.

*sigh* I should stop beating myself up about what happened and start preparing for my trip next week. Job hunting shall resume when I am back next year~

So, erm, hi everyone! I am just attempting to get back into blogging and looking for people to subscribe to when the Tumblr purge happened. Which by the way, I never really got the hang of it. I jumped on the LJ-migration bandwagon back then, didn't like the interface and deleted my account after a few months.

Anyway, I wasn't expecting any subscribers, however, since you guys have clicked on that button and I assume might be interested to read what I have to say, let me introduce myself.

( Sometimes I write in third person pov )
Well, I'm not sure what else to add. My posts are public for now, partly to allow my friends who are not on DW to have access.

Feel free to ask me anything you are curious about, or just say hi. :)

"Glitter and Goth Green" (Watch on Vimeo)

When I made John Green, author of best selling book The Fault in Our Stars, which was later adapted into a movie, yes that John Green, chuckle at my donor name.

Context: At different points during the 48-hour live stream last weekend for their annual fundraiser called Project for Awesome, John had glitter all over his beard. His brother Hank put on goth makeup. They also had Sharpie all over their faces, but I thought "glitter" and "goth" sounded better with their last name "Green".

Here's hoping a small donation on my birthday would generate some good karma and luck.

New layout! indefinable indefinable indefinable

Customising took way longer than I had expected. As I was poring over the css codes line by line, I realised that I used to spend a lot of time fiddling with LJ layouts. Like, a lot.

Also, since I am using my laptop rather often these days, I installed Photoshop, as well as video and audio editing programs. Although on hindsight, I have been editing videos and audios on my phone, but well, it is always good to have them on desktop, in case I ever feel like making something.

I bought some things and they are arriving in the mail slowly. I feel a little guilty that I have been spending while money is still not coming in. Fingers crossed that I get hired soon.

One of the items purchased was silk bonnets. My hair is terrible — coarse and frizzy with a lot of mid-shaft splits. Many blog and forum posts suggest using silk pillowcase. Since I have many pillowcases already, I decided to try silk bonnets instead. I wore it to bed last night. It was cooling; my head didn't feel trapped in heat and it had not slipped off when I woke up in the morning. I shall monitor if my hair condition does improve.

As for the other items bought, I will share once I have received them. So. Excited. :D!

I tweeted the title of this entry the other day. Within a few minutes, I had ideas on what to post on my Instagram account. That was about a month ago. Recently, I started thinking about returning to blogging. I read my previous entries (now locked), wondering how to sneak back in, fill the gaps and pretend I have never left?

Why? Because this blog serves as my record of my life. Not too long ago, many people were blogging. Then Instagram came along, which I suppose suits people who prefer to let their photos do the talking. In recent years, vlogging has gained popularity. I still like writing best, so here we are.

I stopped blogging in early 2015 and began actively updating my Instagram account. That was when I had started working. I had neither the interest nor energy to write. I let the heavily edited photos do the talking instead, occasionally providing captions longer than two-liners.

The downside to having stopped writing was that I started feeling increasingly stupid. I had also stopped reading by then, due to lack of self-discipline and attention span. I could have basic conversations, but if I was required to come up with some clever argument of sorts, I would fail terribly. Words floated around in my head, yet I could not seem to string them together to form anything remotely coherent. Yes, it was that bad.

Fast forward to now, I have left the job. I have been unemployed for five weeks. My mother is very worried. On one hand, I am, too. On the other hand, I am finally overcoming my brain block. Words are flowing again. I pulled out the Harry Potter books for a second read because I knew they would help me to get back into reading. I was right. So... Yay? Nay?
