Hi there! Just wanted to share a quick update on why im not posting often.

I think spending days on quarantine really warped my sense of time, and has made me want to just 'silence' out all the news. Also been overseas since last month, and i was enjoying my time instead of rattling around on news in Singapore. (I still havent read all the Workers Party articles) Really sorry, but i may take this time at the end of the year to think about myself a bit more. Also (forgot to add this so i edited it), I have been helping out in another community in the Wikia projects.

I had plans to make a funny rewind video, but i may scrap that since i have issues installing Adobe Premire Pro sigh...

Again, sorry for the lack of updates, its just a me thing to want to silence out stuff that i do not want to hear when im stressed.

Also, this is really a one man show, I havent found people who would take the time to post daily, and people who i can trust. Again, thanks for sticking around for 2.5 years already!!!

Well Christmas, its just 2 days away! Woohoo! I'm so happy with this information.
Merry Christmas! Enjoy the new logo for this weekend!
