Building connections has never been easier—or has it?Created using SoraI used to think it was, but it turns out that making genuine connections is more difficult nowadays. Back when I was active on Instagram, it was much easier to gain followers. People seemed excited to connect with others, regardless of whether you were a popular figure or just a regular user like I was. If I remember correctly, I managed to gain over 2,500 followers, and had I continued my activity, I probably could have reached thousands more by now. Of course, that's just a rough estimate based on how things were back then, so it may not apply today.

I'm currently testing a new approach on my TikTok posts where I blend both video and photo content using some of CapCut’s interesting video editing effects. I’m really enjoying the editing process because the app helps turn my average-looking short clips into something more dynamic and engaging.

Last weekend, I dropped by Changi City Point to check if the shoe stores there were having a sale—and I’m glad I did! I managed to buy a pair of shoes at a really good price. I didn’t regret traveling for more than an hour to get there; I’d say it was definitely worth it.

I just realized I’m already a few days late with my TikTok analytics update. I guess I was so focused on editing videos that I forgot to check how I performed over the past week. I’m glad I finally took a look earlier because I discovered that my analytics for the past seven days are the best I've had since I started my TikTok journey!

For this post, I want to share my food experience from a recent visit to the Tampines area. I don't go there often, but whenever I do, I make sure to grab one of Toast & Rolls’ pastries. They make really delicious treats at affordable prices, so for me, it’s a must to have one of their sweet offerings for dessert.

One of the reasons I did a photowalk along Lavender Street was so I could dine at Lam's Noodle Place. It's a popular local restaurant known for serving freshly made noodles. That’s quite rare these days, as most noodle places use factory-made noodles. Handmade noodles take time and effort to prepare—they're definitely not as easy to make or serve. So, I understand why many restaurants opt out. It’s a challenge, but totally worth it!
