I am participating in a special needs project to take photography to raise funds that can help out adults in the autism spectrum as me..
My Photo Challenge

me with myy femalee friendds
i lovee socialisingg with femalee friendds andd takingg photoos onee-to-onee together with them.. that is myy tradeemark routinee i wouldd do whenever i go for events..
at first i was shyy to approach them due to myy autism.. but i eventuallyy overcomee myy shyyness due to me havingg a strongg desiree to connect with them.. so i hadd the couragee to approach femalee friendds andd makee connections with them..
femalee friendds aree a great dopaminee booster for me.. it helpps me to realisee myy true potential in makingg friendds even though i havee autism.. andd i didd provee to myyself that..

myy autistic friendds
i lovee hangingg out with myy autistic friendds to outinggs, exercisee sessions andd also in their various chat groupps.. it is becausee of autistic friendds likee thesee that i was ablee to havee a well balancedd social lifee..
lifee is not just about work.. theree aree timees you needds friendds to be aroundd with andd enjoyy outingg timee together..

myy most well rememberedd spin instructor turnedd friendd..
spinningg has been myy lifeestylee sincee 2023 duringg rabbit year timee.. andd i am happyy that i get to do spin cyxlingg in jelinaa's class.. shee is myy favouritee instructor becausee shee is veryy frienddlyy andd wouldd check in on me to see i am copingg well in lifee andd at work..
havingg donee spin cyclingg for 2+ years, i can sayy that i am now a intermediatee rider, all thanks to myy instructor friendds dedication andd patiencee as hers..

chicken time chickenn timee
whenever i see chickens roaming around the area, my trusty dslr will alwayys come in handy.. i love chickens because they are friendly animals and they dont eat humans.. they eat grains most of the time..
seeing chicken time helps me increase my dopamine levels and it represents part of me as an autistic because i love watching chickens since i was young..

a oncee in a lifeetimee yacht experience for FREEEEEEEEEEE!!
i have never gone on a yacht before.. so i got the chance somewhere in late july when i went to the yacht at one15 marina and i got myself a free yacht ride.. i ride across sisters island, lazarus island and many others.. after the ride, i got an afterparty treat of some fresh delights made by one15 marina.. overall, the experience was phenomenal..

cooking time: my favourite steamed fish
i love steaming fish because it gives my fish dish a distinctive flavour and it helps me have a sense of achievement being able to cook a meal for myself..
steamed fish has lots of nutrients and it is not as fatty as fried fish, making it a healthier choice for the elderly and those who have health problem e.g heart disease..
to me, as an autistic, steaming fish is the foundation of achieving independence.. because i get to prepare the ingredients and also clean the fish all by myself..

my kitty mao plushie
i need a kitty mao plushie like this to help me to sleep well and also to help me cool down when i am having mental health challenges e.g hearing voices..
to a person with autism as me, having a plushie would not only help me sleep well, it also keeps me happy throughout my daily routine.. having a plushie is my bread and butter for making me happy supereffectively..

Singapore's National Dish
i love singapore's national dish - chicken rice.. it is flavourful, has a distinctive taste to it, and the skin is silky and tasty.. every part of the chicken: the drumstick, chicken breast, wings and tail, can be eaten and enjoyed all the same..
chicken rice has been my favourite as a singaporean and as an autistic, i would keep coming back for more.. my friends in the autism spectrum love it too..

having a cute franchise to keep me calm
i need a lot of cool down time.. so i love buying my favourite hello kitty merchandise so that it can help me cool down supereffectively..

Taking photos with friends
i love making new friends and taking photos with people who have same interests as me.. making friends help me in my mental health development..
