Top 5: Pictures that speak a thousand words to me

hey guys, i'm back again with my unstoppable top 5 series lol i tried brainstorming on topics that i should cover or blog about but somehow i always end up with the top 5 series. i think because it's much easier for me to elaborate? but i'll try to vary my posts sooner or later. 

people say that a picture is worth a thousand words. i went to my phone's gallery, scrolled up and down to look at the pictures i took. wow a picture does worth a thousand words. so, in this post i'd like to share the top 5 pictures that stir my emotion, recall my memories, and speak a thousand words to me.

Top 5: bad habits of people in the public that i can't stand

(i made this lame edit using my phone lol)

after abandoning this blog for more than a month, ryu is finally back! and i'm going to commemorate my return (LOL) with my top 5 series! /clap clap clap/ i think i would be doing lots of top 5 series cuz it's literally the most written draft in my notebook. 

being the introvert i am, i am a homebody who prefers to be at home most of the time. but sometimes, whether it's planned or not, i still have to go out into the public. and every time i go out, i understand why i prefer being at home. in this post, i would like to share the top 5 , in no particular order (I HATE THEM EQUALLY I HATE THEM WITH BURNING PASSION) bad habits of people in the public that i seriously can't stand.

my short singapore getaway (part 2 aka final part)

i shall continue with my photo post from my singapore getaway. looking at the photos relives my memorable experience in the city of lion. enjoy the final part!

my short singapore getaway (part 1)

hey guys! it's been awhile since my last post. i've been busy with my personal matters and even when i settled them, i was quite lazy to write a post lol. going straight to the post, this is a belated post about my singapore getaway from 2nd july (saturday) to 4th july (sunday) (which is more than a month ago? O_O ) so, i'm going to divide the post into 2 or 3 parts, depending whether i'm diligent enough lol because it's going to be a photo adventure rather than words. and yup, all photos are taken with either my old sony camera or mobile phone, so you'll see my awkward placement of watermark on the pics. enjoy~

Q&A session with ryu (again?)

(i made this online lol i really like that pic :3 )

this is a rest post from the neverending top 5 series. in this blog post, i answered some random questions that i think are interesting (i basically googled for interesting questions lol). i think by answering these questions, it reveals things more things about myself to me than to others. i'd answered 30 random questions. well then, enjoy knowing me~ LOL

Top 5: memorable quotes/sayings (final part)

Top 5: memorable quotes/sayings (part 4)

Top 5: memorable quotes/sayings (part 3)

Top 5: memorable quotes/sayings (part 2)

Top 5: memorable quotes/sayings (part 1)

i've drafted most of the things i want to write on my blog in a notebook (handwritten! can you believe it? lol) so that i won't forget any of them. as i read the drafts, i was like wow i really like this top 5 series feature because i have elaborated things i want to share. i guess, it's a good thing? i hope so.

this time i would like to share about my top 5 memorable quotes/sayings i've came across either in books or on the internet. i believe everyone has their own favourite quotes/sayings that they hold onto dearly because the words somehow comfort and/or motivate them. so, i like to share mine. 

as i would type my own words and opinions on the quotes/sayings, it would be kind of lengthy for every point; i decided to split it into 5 parts. one quote/saying for every part. therefore, this is part 1 of my top 5 memorable quotes/sayings. enjoy~

10-word-story: Friendship

hey guys, i'm back. i was on holidays last week and i'm having the withdrawal feels from it. but i promised myself that i'll update when i have the motivation and energy. now i'm having the feels to write a post, so be it.

i was quite the writer of fiction stories when it came to writing essays back in secondary school but i don't know what happened to my writing skills. maybe it got all rusty because i abandoned fiction writing for academic writing. i still like writing though. it's just that i'm forever having a writer block which i shouldn't have because i don't write? lol

i'll try to start this 10-word story feature. this might stay permanent with different themes but might also go to the recycle bin, i don't know. 

so, my 10-word story feature will be comprised of three different stories or conversations or random writing style with only ten words. yup, only 10 words for each story (i think i just killed myself). i don't know if y'all will comprehend the story in 10 words or not but i'll try my best to make it simple to understand. i'll explain a bit about them too.

for this first 10-word-story, the theme i set is friendship. let's start!

The Do's & Don'ts: Using the Internet

i've been drafting a lot these past two days on what to blog about and i thought to myself, 'hey, don't i really like reading those do's and don'ts articles? maybe i can write my own do's and don'ts!' so, this is how this new original feature is born! i have so many original features i wanted to do in my head but let's take one step at a time.

disclaimer: 

the following do's and don'ts are purely based on my perspective looking at things. there would be no forcing to accept the opinions. 

here we go!
