My Guide To Life
Only show you ever need to watch!
Good morning guys.
So today is the 28th of April 2020,
and it's actually my birthday today, and it's very, very sad because 2020 is a
shit year and I guess this year i'm spending my
birthday just stuck at home with zero fucking plans.
I generally don't like to plan my birthdays because
there was one time I tried to have a party when I was a kid,
and I remember then I invited my friends to some thing that I tried to organise and
a lot of people just didn't turn up, and just didn't want to come,
and I felt really hurt and sorry for myself that birthday.
So when I was very young, I vowed never
ever to plan anything for my birthday, in case I get disappointed again.
Anyway, after you turn 30 years old right,
you tend to just kind of ignore your birthdays.
So I guess my first plan of today
is to go through a Zoom session with Dash and his teacher.
Look at what the t-shirt says, "Not okay"!
It's not okay, nobody's okay.
Except people who sell masks and hand sanitisers.
Those people are probably okay.
So alright, let me go and put on some makeup right now.
As it turns out, I cannot go and put on any
makeup and stuff because
I spent so much time talking cock here
and now it's time for the Zoom lesson so
I'll go ahead and do that first.
Got your Zoom lesson, bao bei.
This is my Zoom setup with Dash and his teacher.
It's on the iPad,
on the towel,
on hand sanitisers.
Lets go because it's 11:30am already.
It is quite boring lah, so
home-based learning stuff and I don't want to go too much into that as well,
so I'm going to time lapse it because
I'm trying to keep his school life and stuff more private also.
Okay, so right now I'm doing my makeup.
Anyways, I guess, my thoughts on turning 36 this year.
I'm starting to feel really old because I've passed the 35 mark right?
So it's like mid-thirties.
Now I've in the late thirties okay and,
I guess that's a little bit scary?
But I would say that 2019 was an okay year for me
because I started my own social media agency and then I started my makeup brand right,
so I feel like for an influencer,
y'know like the next step in the evolution is to sort of like,
instead of being an influencer,
like help people be influencers.
So sort of mentoring and in that sense, I guess I'm doing that because
I'm helping to create social media campaigns.
I feel like, y'know...
I may not be an influencer forever but y'know,
meanwhile the influencer industry, before Covid-19,
was still thriving very well and I still have a huge bulk of income from that.
And not to mention a lot of nice free things.
I'll still be doing that for as long as I can.
I'm also very grateful that y'know like, as a complete extrovert myself,
I cannot live without human interaction,
so even if it's just chatting with a camera, which i'm doing right now,
is helping me keep sane and I don't feel so lonely.
I do think that if I don't have internet, and I don't have my followers, and I don't have my friends who are
available to chat with me
on like WhatsApp and stuff,
then I will feel a lot worse.
Yeah, so I guess that's something to be grateful for.
Imagine if we had this Circuit Breaker at a time where we only had like fucking broadband.
Eh, not broadband. What was before broadband?
Dial-up, yeah!
Walao eh, I think we will fucking die lorh.
We'll just have to rely on shitty old DVDs that are pirated from JB (Johor Bahru, Malaysia).
Ah, speaking of JB, I'm very sad that we cannot go back to JB already.
The doorbell rang and I received a parcel.
I am hoping that this is the stuff that I ordered from Taobao that's here.
Hi Dash.
And I'm going to open it outside because Ellen said that it's very dangerous to bring it in in case got Covid so,
lets open this.
So I've also put on my makeup right now.
I took a really long time to do it because, why not?
Not like I have anything going on. It's just for this video.
So let's open this.
Apparently, Ellen told me that she already sprayed Lysol all over it.
Oh yay!
Okay so this is what I ordered from Taobao. It's fake plants.
So I wanted a plant wall for my room,
so I guess that's what I'm going to be doing today. I'm very excited to do it.
I'm very, very sick of my wallpaper, which is currently like some floral wallpaper.
So that was very popular when I decorated my house, and that was like seven years ago.
It was like a Japanese kind of theme where it's like a lot of floral.
But it is very dated looking now, so my new style for the room is probably,
I wanted something that is very like IG-worthy kind of like cafe style.
So a lot of plants, flushing pink and more modern look than the current like very floral thing that I have.
So here are the plants.
The plant wall.
Ellen says that the grass patches are very dusty so she's insistent on washing them in the bathtub.
And i'm helping!
This is only half of them.
Got some more.
They do smell quite bad though.
Like a very industrial plastic smell and when you touch it it's very dusty.
Yay, I got a little surprise!
I got food delivery and this is from Jess.
So she arranged for a little birthday lunch for me and it's right in front of me.
I bet she got all the food that she knows that I like a lot lah.
And in the meantime over there, Dash is like talking nonstop.
Anyway, so just now he tried to jump into the bathtub that's full of the dirty water from washing the
fake plants and he wanted to swim inside.
He just started taking off his clothes.
So anyway, here we go.
So this is tempura squid I guess, it looks very nice.
And oh it says, "From Kfood. Dear Wendy,
May you enjoy your 21st birthday!"
I love that!
I'm very excited.
Oh my god, it's fried chicken!
Oh my god, more fried chicken!
This girl really knows me man, I love you, Jess.
This is like a Korean soup, like kimchi soup, that looks very nice too.
I'm very happy. I feel so loved today.
I always think that like my birthdays are gonna suck, but then they always turn out really,
really nice because I have amazing friends.
I'm so bored.
And I'm so sleepy.
The time now is about 3.
Should I take a nap?
But I have full makeup on, so...
What is there to do?
I'm waiting for the grass patches to dry so I can put them on my wall.
I have no other plans.
Okay guys, so this is how the wall currently looks like.
Sorry if it's backlit, it becomes very dark.
But you can see that this is the wallpaper.
So I have had this wallpaper for a really long time.
And I'm getting a bit sick of it I guess?
So I want to put the grass patch on there.
To put it all over the entire wall.
Mike is helping me to remove the sign from the wall first.
It's taking a while because it's stuck on with very, very sticky double sided tape.
Okay, I have a problem here because the neon sign really cannot stick with the double sided tape and,
I guess we would have to drill it in with the holes that are already here.
Finished putting up the top part of the wall.
Mike is currently still on his business call so he cannot help me move the
furniture yet and it's quite heavy, so I need to move all these things away
so that I can do the rest of the wall.
It was relatively easy, I would say.
Yeah, I really like the way it looks so I'm very excited to see the end results.
Okay, here's an update.
It is about 7pm in the evening right now and
a lot of the wall is being done already, so we're only left with that little part here.
But in the meantime there's an emergency in the kitchen and I need to attend to it so
I'm gonna go and show you guys.
This one is from Hadouken.
It's a surprise as well, and from my friend from Crystomania, Sydi.
Jesus.
There's like a lot of food inside here.
These are all from Hadouken and Crystomania.
And then from Cookyn Inc as well.
Sent me this little card and chocolate mousse.
Okay, and they not only sent me food that I can cook myself,
because I told them the last time round I love the ravioli so they sent it again.
And they also have food that's already cooked that's inside here.
And then I forgot about this one. This is just fried chicken.
It doesn't come with a note so I have literally no idea who sent it.
I guess Golden Rooster maybe sent it to me or maybe it's a friend.
I have no idea but anyway, it's gonna be a nice, nice dinner!
Lets zoom out to look at this massive amount of food. Crazy!
Okay so I just finished eating my dinner and it was so good but now I'm having food coma.
To be very honest right during the Circuit Breaker days, my sleep schedule is even worse than usual.
So sometimes I'll wake up at like 2-3?
It's really bad. And then I'll wake up and I'll just feel like "Oh my god, I'm such a bad mom,
I'm spending so little time with Dash", then I'll try to like maximise my time with him.
Hey, can you stop singing please?
Anyways.
So today I woke up a little earlier than usual
but I reckon since it's my birthday,
I deserve a little nap, so I think I might go and take a little nap while Dash eats his dinner.
Hopefully then, after I take a short nap,
I will wake up and then I will finish the signboard.
Yeah? I think I'll do that. But the only problem is I don't know whether I should
remove my makeup to go and sleep or not.
It's a bit gross, but then I'm very lazy to go and put back makeup again later.
And I don't want to continue filming this with no makeup on because will be like "Screenshot, screenshot!"
Yeah, so anyway.
Okay, see you guys later after my nap.
Hey guys, so the time now is 10 o'clock.
I just woke up and I'm going on a Zoom chat with my friends.
They're gonna sing me a birthday song.
Thanks!
It is so out of sync!
Thank you!
Yay!
Thank you very much!
Okay, I'm gonna stop this.
Okay, I am done with the plant wall.
It's not really focusing is it? Okay here we go.
Looks like that.
I feel you cannot really see the full effect of it unless you zoom out a little bit.
All the plant's in and I think it looks fabulous!
The neon sign, Mike help me put it up. And then I concealed all the wires.
Wow! Took a lot of hours to finish this but it's my birthday gift to myself to have a
very pretty Korean cafe kind of room.
Hey guys, so the time now is 2 o'clock.
I've been so busy the whole day.
I cannot believe just being stuck at home, I was so freaking busy.
I just finished that chat with my friends as well and that took like two hours.
So now I'm just gonna open some of the gifts that I got sent to me.
This is from Glitzy Fingers.
She's my manicurist so she got me this very cute, oh my god, I love it!
Okay, don't drop.
Oh my god, it's so pretty! This is perfect.
It will be a perfect addition to my room.
Oh I've got a nice little hairband here.
Oh this is from Pamela, she's my friend.
She wrote me a nice handwritten note.
Oh my god, it's so nice. I love it! i'm gonna wear it now.
Last one.
It's a birthday cake.
This is from Brand Cellar.
Oh the cake looks really, really good!
So anyway, I guess the time now is 2 o'clock and
I just want to give some little final thoughts about
my birthday, which is a really special one this year because
I am not out of the house.
I'm actually at home the whole time.
And it's a very weird feeling because even though
I'm not physically with anybody and I'm alone,
I feel like I just came home from like a huge party with all of my friends and family being there.
And I don't feel lonely at all.
I just feel so happy and so grateful and so blessed.
This birthday has been really, really great.
Way exceeded expectations.
I really just expected to be kind of stuck at home and y'know, sharing it with my friends still,
but you know, not so much love from so many people around.
Yeah, I had a really, really great birthday!
And you know what? Turning 36 is not so bad.
Life can be like that.
I just feel so much, so much love for all my friends. They are amazing.
For my family, for being so nice to me today too,
and for all my followers who has y'know, followed me for so many years
