YouTube: "[EASY] How To Upload Videos (No Crop) From iMovie To Instagram on Android Devices"

Hello! Planning to upload videos to your Instagram but don't know how to? Here's my latest YouTube video on "How To Upload Videos (No Crop) From iMovie to Instagram on Android Devices" which you can view it below! It's sort of my first "techie tutorial" haha, and the main reason why I did this video was because it's a real problem that I was facing just a couple of weeks back! So when I finally figured out how to do it (in a less complicated way), I think it'd be great to share what I know and hopefully someone out there would find it useful! :)

MY NEW NAME & IDENTITY!

Hello everyone! Yesterday marks an important day after I left ICA building... I've officially changed my name and gotten my new IC and Passport! :D I actually got this new name since mid of last year but didn't get the necessary legal documents done until last month~ Of course, it doesn't mean that life will immediately change for the better as this all requires time and also largely depends on our own doings~ :) I shan't go into the details of what the Master shared about my old name but I'm definitely ready to embark on a new journey with my new name! 

My old name: Goh Shu Ping Shirley 吴淑萍
My new name: Goh Shi Ying Shirley 吴詩縈 (Shī Yíng)

Getting your name changed is a big thing, so do consider properly before you proceed with anything yup! Well if you're thinking of getting a new name in the future, here's what you will need and the costs involved!

1) Change of Name by Master (amount varies depending on what the Master charges)

2) Deed Poll - $70 
- It's a compulsory document you need to sign before a solicitor, required by ICA as part of the name change procedure.
- This is the law firm that I engaged, also possibly one of the cheapest I've known!

3) Change of IC - $60

4) Change of Passport - $70

The entire procedure took about 3 weeks for me~ Just take note, once you've received the pink slip to collect your passport, don't delay and hurry book the appointment because the slots are filled up pretty fast! To save traveling time, book the appointment for both IC and Passport collection on the same day! Alternatively, you can also check out ICA's website for an online/SingPost procedure to apply and get all of these done without going to ICA building itself! Alright that's about it! Have a great day all!

Crossroads;

Hellooo! My heart is beating fast as I'm typing this lol. Probably because I just read about some people who really inspires me to go for what I really want to do. I can feel the fire burning inside me omg haha~ Do you have such moments?? I have been feeling this way quite often lately and sometimes, I even have problems going to sleep because I've so many ideas popping up in my head! I can't exactly put it into words yet; I don't know who would be supportive of it too; but I really hope I can share it out loud with people who understands once I settle my thoughts. 

It's important to always have the hunger to learn and improve. But I think the first key to success is to believe in myself. Without the belief, it's easy to get shaken by negativity and doubts. Also, there's basically no right time to go after what I want; Time is all in my own hands. It has only been a month plus into the new year and I'm already excited for it. Good luck to myself. Good luck to you too (yes, you that's reading this)! If you have a dream that you want to work towards, let's go for it together!

Ps: Whoever you are, I just wanna say - Thank you for reading :) x


With love,
Shirley

Restaurant-hop: Blisshouse // Valentine's Day

As we all know, Valentine's Day is just around the corner~ To me, this day has always been considered as a Friendship Day haha. Seriously I can't even remember when was the last time I celebrated V'Day with a guy #justsaying hahaha *coughs* So if you're single and feeling "lonely" because you've no date, you're not alone BUT you really shouldn't feel that way too! Maybe few years back I might have joke about "how sad" it is? Come on, watching all the couples holding hands and roaming around literally everywhere, it's a lie if I say that I don't feel anything lol. But as years go by, it really isn't a big deal anymore.

Let's be real here -- I wouldn't consider myself being loved any lesser than the couples out there. The only difference is that the love I'm receiving is not from any guy but my closest friends! I can still recall the different kinds of roses (including my first Champagne Rose which was soo pretty!) and chocolates given by my colleagues last year, which already made me feel very loved and thankful :) It's definitely something nice to receive flowers or chocolates on this day (oh-so-cliche hahaha) but even if you don't, IT'S OKAY!!! :D

Oh by the way, I'm pretty excited as I'd be going cycling with my close friends this coming V'Day! So to all the single peeps out there, just go out and have some fun! Afterall, it's a Saturday! If not, a stay home Saturday night movie sounds perfect too ;) Back to the main focus of this post, I would like to share my first dining experience at Blisshouse @ Clarke Quay The Central (#03-21). The ambience of Blisshouse fits the valentine theme perfectly -- pretty and romantic. Unfortunately, it's a pity that their food cannot make it :( The portion is just not worth the price, and fried calamari served cold..? :/ Luckily, there's still hope!! With the super pretty garden theme and ambience, it is a really nice place to unwind and have some wine or drinks!! You can't go wrong with the standard drinks like cider, beer, wine etc... But food... I'll give it a miss the next round
Up till this point, you can pretty much see where I'm coming from right?? The garden theme is really very pretty!! And it's indeed one of the most spacious restaurants that I've ever been to!
Apart from my dear Aud, this would be the second best thing I love that night haha~ My favourite apple cider! Hehe cheeers! 
I don't usually like to complain but the portion of this risotto is simply way too little for that price (I can't remember, maybe around $17?) :/
I would like to (buay paiseh aka shamelessly lol) say that my photo-taking skill gave a lot more credits to this plate of calamaris than it should deserve haha. Fyi: I wouldn't order this again.
Thank you for the birthday treat love! And I'm so happy for your present work achievements! :D May you find your 如意郎君 soon and... I love you!! <3 

With love,
Shirley
