My favorite songs

Introduction

I will be talking about these 2 bands. Aggressive raisin cats aka ARC and The new modern lights. They are both Singapore bands and are extremely talented. I used to think that bands from Singapore can't produce good music because we are a small country and our knowledge of music is not that in-depth.
However, after going to ignite festival, I learned that we actually have really good bands but they are too underrated because it is difficult to become big and known in Singapore. 
 
I will also be adding more songs to my list when I find them and update them on my blog. This is purely for fun!

My favorite food

Food I like 1. Ramen  - Delicious thick broth  - Ichiran ramen has the best broth (I think it is only available in Japan?) - Noodles with the right texture. It must be chewy and not too soft, I really dislike mushy noodles.  - Big pieces of meat that are tender - I love the black fungus (kikurage) in the ramen :) 2. Onion - Raw onions when you get them from buying satay is really good - Onions from subway are really fresh too - Onion scrambled egg is delicious too. Adding prawns will be a plus! - Dislike onions when I was younger because of the taste 3. Prawn  - I don't really like fish but I love prawns and other seafood even though it is quite annoying to eat them as they get messy. - Tiger prawns are good! 5. Pancakes - Pancakes from Macdonald is good, especially with maple syrup. I still like to dip them in maple syrup even though I don't like sweet things - They are soft and fluffy. Best when served hot.  - Must have margarine or butter! They make the pancakes more aromati

Guitar

Guitar I started playing the classical guitar in Primary School as a CCA. I chose it because I thought it was interesting and I did not learn any instruments at that time. However, I soon regretted it as I realized that I need to practice every Tuesday. There were a few requirements such as cutting fingernails in a weird shape when we play. My fingertips ached when I played for hours it was uncomfortable to sit on the seat for long hours too.  After leaving Primary school and going into secondary I deeply regretted not practicing guitar at all. If I had practiced consistently throughout my secondary school life I definitely will improve over time.  I started liking guitar again in mid-secondary 3 and got myself an electric guitar .   My main motivation was watching YouTube videos of people playing the guitar🎸and music genres such as rock , metal , and indie . Picking up the guitar again was a good choice for me since I get to do something I like when I am bored or stressed.  (my gui
