Ft. Wendy's Creative Thinking

And yes, I do know that it has been out for years but I normally don't find anything interesting on there until recently. I find Instagram's boxed photos crazily classy and even if someone adds white bars, it still looks great. I've been posting and sharing my photographs on there (most of the pictures are of cats though and my friend has been saying YOU AND YOUR CAT POSTS). Here's a few photos depicting my OOTD (Outfit Of The Day) before I went to work:    
I don't know why but I'm digging vintagey stuff a lot lately.
So one of my good friends edited my DP (display picture) on Facebook for more.
And heck, he did a real good job.
(He removed the entire background and even paid attention to the details of my hair).
For some reason, the hat photoshopped onto me reminds me of old ladies who go to shop or those farmers in Taiwan. But I was told that it's FASHUN. I don't really understand the trends at times but I'll try my best! Being fashionable is.. hard.  Can you believe that the first pair was made for royalty (King George VI) as a casual horse shoe? So basically we commoners nowadays are actually wearing shoes fit for a king LOL! 
It was said though, that Michael Jackson was the one that made it fashionable, having worn it as his trademark.
However, I actually started liking them from seeing girls rock it (Japanese ones of course).
They wear loafers to school on a daily basis and I find them really attractive compared to our constantly soiled white shoes.
I also adore how they give off this demure look.
On top of that, they do look a little vintage and classy.
   “Some birds are not meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are too bright, their songs too sweet and wild. So you let them go, or when you open the cage to feed them they somehow fly out past you. And the part of you that knows it was wrong to imprison them in the first place rejoices, but still, the place where you live is that much more drab and empty for their departure.”
My love for animals (and birds in particular) stem from a really young age.
I enjoy bird watching and watch as they take flight. It really is an amazing sight.
I wonder if birds do ever suffer from a fear of heights (I do know that those with trimmed wings are, but other than that, I wonder if they are ever born with that phobia). I've read up an article on how birds fly earlier and it seems to be hold more than what meets the eye:
 The scenes that really captured my attention in Pirates of the Caribbean (other than Jack Sparrow's witty sense of humor of course), was the sword fighting scenes. I thought it resembled dancing and was really captivated by how they crossed their swords, swung their arms, and also their footwork - it was brilliant! To sword fighting choreographer Ian Newell, a sword fight is ""just like any other choreography."" And I can't agree any more on that. I think fencing terms are really beautiful and classy (it's no surprise since it's in French), having heard/seen them for a couple of times now and then: - Al la macchia / ala mazza - Bravazzo / Branando - Cavazione - Controcavazione - Coup de grace    Natsu Matsuri is a summer festival celebrated in Japan and of course, the Japanese in Singapore celebrate it too! JAS (The Japanese Association) held one in conjunction with Changi Japanese Primary School and they set up booths like they would in Japan. There are lots of food and game booths set up and the yukata booth was something I've really looked forward to. (Renting of yukata is something in my bucket list though as expected, it was really hard to walk in it.) The Bon Odori (second picture) was also another highlight of the festival where everyone would sing and dance around a stage. Though, it actually holds more meaning behind it. The Bon Odori is a dance that is performed during Obon (a time in which ancestors and their sacrifices are remembered and appreciated). Ours was done around a stage instead of a yagura, The dances consisted mainly of movement where everyone gathered around the stage with the dancers and followed them. At the end, we would have completed a slow, whole round around the stage from dancing (we did ours for 2 hours). We did the Tanko Bushi (coal mining song) dance, and the movements of the dance depicted that of coal miners like digging, cart pushing and lugging heavy stuff over the shoulders. It was overall a very enjoyable experience, having loved Japan's culture in the first place. The atmosphere was also something that I could have imagined to experience in Singapore, seeing lots of people in yutaka everywhere. I hope to go again next year! 
I think teeth are such beautiful things (although they can be a little gross at times).
It's amazing how we are able to change a set of teeth so successfully.
The two bigger teeth in the bottle are my adult teeth that were extracted for my braces. The rest are my baby ones (yes, I do collect all of them).
I enjoy looking at how animals stroll aimlessly during a hot, sunny afternoon.
It makes me wonder if they ever think life's boring, having to live without a reason.
And I wonder how the grass feels like to this mynah bird. The grass patch spread below it would probably seem like an endless desert.
