not sure why i took one selfie Lol
and where, when, etc
27 June 2024
did a CT Scan at ttsh for the urinary system - bladder etc
they injected some diuretic medicine and took scans of the full bladder
good thing nothing much showed up in the scan
think it's a waste of time and money though
- doc says scan can hardly see much
and would need a biopsy to be sure... No biopsy for me

at sota's year 6 IBCP exhibition
(jannah is doing IBDP - exhibition will be later)
above & below: Penance Boy by Glenn Ong
Penance Boy is the first painting in the MYTHS OF GORIS series.
The spikes worn by the subject is a manifestation of
my grapple with guilt and forgiveness as a child.
this internal turmoil is reflected in my own accompanying words.
Thoughts can't escape, nor can they enter.
Yet you speak of growth and change.
You made this iron maidan yourself.
Right, Glenn?
below: å¦åäŗŗ (Learning Human) by Glenn Ong
Interactive Exhibit
Show me the way you live, the way you rise, the way you fall.
All your thoughts, your ideas, your feelings. It took you 18 years to get here,
what have you made so far> Show me what you learnt.
å¦åäŗŗ (Learning Human) is an ongoing project documenting my life,
beliefs and ideas, The end goal is to achieve a better understanding
of how to become an authentic human being.
Resembling a visual diary, i write about various encounters and
experiences surrounding subjects of struggle, triumph, self,
family, love and grief. Philosophical ramblings are accompanied
by song lyrics, symbols and drawings spiced with poetry and diary entries,
culminating in an overwhelming cathartic experience.
below: Brechje by Michelle Wang
Trees stand against a background where they become
almost indistinguishable, evolving the struggle
of self-discovery amid the complications of existence.
Representational of an evolving self, it underscores
the perpetual journey of self-realization
and enduring importance of authenticity.
in its subtle portrayal, Brechje speaks on the ever-changing nature
of both self and society, echoing the profound significance
of companionship because ultimately i am the people's daughter.

so i went for a hair cut and hair dye - emily chose dark chocolate brown (i had to trust her... i was quite anxious LOL) - the white part of my hair would look like i have done highlights LOLOL emily used to charge me $75 for many many years. this year, she raised a little to $80. i don't mind, she's been good for me and to me!
below: after hair cut
looking at it after my hair dye - i kinda like my white hair!!
