Hey guys ! I'm back from blogging after such a long absence. So many things happened & i dont know where should i start from. This is crazy hahahaha. Anyway, i've made a trip to Bangkok Thailand about two months ago with my mother. I guess i will be uploading all th pictures we took there on th next post. I swear th weather in thailand is so much worse than singapore's weather. its so freaking hot but not humid. So th skin around my mouth cracked. You see, i dont really know how to explain how is this happening but it just cracks because of th weather lols. But one thing that i definitely love about thailand is how beautiful th clothes & dresses there are. Most of their clothing there are of my size. & there are all hell cheap ! Okay, sorry because this was my first time visiting thailand. I'm just excited about how cheap & nice th clothes are. When i went to thailand, it was their new year. They called it Songkran. They actually celebrate new year by splashing water at random people walking on th streets. They even have lorries driving on th road with really big buckets of water. So whenever they drive past any place with people walking, they'll splash. Some have ice water in their bucket, while some have just normal water. So basically everyone will be carrying plastic zip lock pouches to keep their phones & other valuables dry. Another thing is that you cant get angry & mad at them for doing this to you because its meant to be a celebration for their new year just like how we exchange red packets in singapore. You cant be mad at people for giving you red packet right? I think its pretty logical. Hahahaha they also have this white fluid thingy. I think its like some johnson baby powder mixed with water. I dont really know how to explain how it looks like, but i assume you should know how water & powder will turn out like if they're mixed together right? Yeah, & so they use it to put it on random people's face. Its meant for good luck i suppose. Because when they put on my face, they said this in thai to me, " chok dee ", which means good luck. Thailand is a really fun place to be in with all th friendly people there. I really wish to fly over to thailand & stay there since singapore's law is getting more & more absurd. I'm very looking forward to my next trip to thailand. Below are a few photos of th things that i've gotten from thailand during my trip. Will upload th rest of th pictures in this post for th next time i blog again. So stay tune !

I also have my back tattooed about 1 month ago. It was done by a home artist introduced by my friend. My friend was a good brother of this artist & so i had it done at a very cheap price. For outline, shading, & coloring, th total cost of it will be $250. For people who have been asking if it hurts, i would say yes, it will definitely hurt. But how pain it is, i would say that th pain is bearable for me but i dont know how much would it hurt for th others because i think i have high tolerance for pain. But its also very itchy when it comes to some part of th body especially near th sides of your waist, th back & th top center of your shoulder. Its so itchy that i actually shivered while bearing with it. Its a mixture of pain & itchiness. Anyway, many people have also asked me, there is no link in your tattoo. But both of th tattoo have its meaning.
Meaning for Hannya Tattoo :
Hannya Tattoo – The hannya mask is just one example of the many
different types of masks used by the traditional Japanese actors of Noh
theater. Noh performances are very stylized representations of
traditional and well known stories, developed in Japan during the 14th
century. The masks are used to convey the identity and mood of the
various characters, who number nearly eighty in the different tales. The
hannya mask is specifically used to represent a vengeful and jealous
woman. Her anger and envy have so consumed her that she has turned into a
demon, but with some important traces of humanity left. The pointed
horns, gleaming eyes, fang-like teeth, combined with a look of pure
resentment and hate are tempered by the expression of suffering around
the eyes and the artfully disarrayed strands of hair, which indicate
passionate emotion thrown into disorder. The deeper and more extreme the
coloring of the face, the deeper and more extreme run the emotions of
the character.
Meaning for Koi Tattoo :
The koi fish can be interpreted in different ways. You should know
that a koi tattoo with the fish swimming upstream and one swimming
downstream has different meanings. Also, a simple koi fish in water has
its own meaning. A koi fish tattoo with running water symbolizes
courage, the ability to attain goals and to overcome life's
difficulties. When the fish is depicted to be swimming upstream, it can
symbolize that the person who has got the tattoo, is still struggling
with his problem. On the other hand, if it is depicted swimming
downstream, it implies that the person has already overcome his
difficulties. It also means love for the opposite sex or longing for a
specific person. This love can be described as 'romantic love' or
'passionate love'. In Buddhism, koi represents fearlessness and courage.
The koi is considered to be very brave because when a koi fish is
caught it does not quiver like other fish. It just lies on the cutting
board, staring and waiting for its fate. This trait of bravery and
fearlessness is compared to the samurai warriors. It is the beauty and
charm of the koi fish that has made it a popular symbol for family,
especially in Japan. Even today, on Children's Day in Japan, tubular
flags with a koi on it are raised, in which each fish resembles a family
member. A black koi stands for the father, flame red for the mother,
blue and white koi for the boy and pink and red for the girl. Thus the
fish can be thought of as a symbol for family strength and unity.
Koi with a Lotus: The lotus is a very popular tattoo. It grows in the muddy pond but grows into a beautiful flower. This much-loved flower has many different meanings and it is often seen with the koi. Lotus symbolizes struggle and change in life. It also signifies purity. The lotus with the koi symbolizes that with struggle and determination, success is inevitable.
