Writing experience

First of, I just wanted to say, shoot me.

Have you any idea how frustrating it is when you have all this creative energy bubbling inside of you but totally no way for it to be released?! Honestly, it's the most agonizing feeling ever. Forget waiting a year for the new iPhone, have you ever experienced writers block??

And, how is it that I can rant so well about writers block but actually can't do any real writing?? This is soooo frustrating, I might eat myself.

I have this whole something in my head that just won't come out. I'm laying down the bricks, building the foundation but something just doesn't seem right. It doesn't sound creative enough. It doesn't sound me enough.

I'm starting to think I might have a time limit on my creative juices. I feel better writing in the morning, like maybe around 9am-10am. Problem is, I like to sleep around that time as well. It kinda feels that my creativity is stronger in the morning as compared to the afternoon. When I was younger, my creative energy levels were spiking around 5pm-7pm because I always used to write around that time. Maybe I'll try training myself to write during a certain time again. Maybe that might be a little better.

Thing is, I want to do this writing lark as a full time thing, but chances are it will have to be part time. I want a good, strong, energized day when I can just spend the whole day writing and researching. I had intended to do that during this semester's holiday but lo, I'm working too. But a good sit down and write day does not equal to quality writing. So URGH.

I can feel the creative energy starting to leave my body when I couldn't find means to expel it. See, it's happening. Expel isn't the word I want but I can't place a finger on the word I'm looking for.

Maybe I'll go hammer my piano or something.

Recent trip to Taiwan!

Took a little trip out of blimming humid Singapore to Taiwan during the 5th to the 11th of September. This is my second time to Taiwan and I was looking forward to all the cheap clothing and food! Was dying to hit the claw machines that only cost around 40 cents to play. But what made this trip special was that this would be the first time my boyfriend, Nathaniel and I stepped out of Singapore together on an overseas trip (together with my family, but still)

Overall, the trip was great, We hired a driver that took us to Taichung, Cingjing (Nantou county) and Taipei. Absolutely loved the food, especially the soups and the chicken cutlets. The clothes, oh swoon, were adorable and I honestly wish I could have had more time to shop and buy (even though I came back with 24 articles of clothing. Spare me, I was keen on a wardrobe makeover.) Bought 3 pairs of shoes and 3 bags. Pity it was the start of Autumn and the gorgeous boots were either too expensive or just not my thing. Shame that. The arcades in the night markets were brilliant. Nat was absofreakinglutely baller at it! He graduated from amateur to expert in one night! Out of the 10 soft toys I brought back, at least 6 were caught by him. (Best moment was when he wanted to catch this toy of a boy with his private hanging out and Nat said if he caught it in one try, he'd it to me and lo and behold, he did. Did not expect that at all tbh but it provided a great laugh.) 

Honestly though, the best part of the whole trip was getting to spend a whole week, uninterrupted with my love. The feeling of being able to fall asleep next to him and wake up to his sleepy smile was just.....the most wonderful thing I have ever felt in my life. I cant describe it, you can't put love into words. Love is an emotion to feel, not to be penned. I'd give anything to be able to have this for the rest of my life and I look forward to the day where i can have this for eternity
