Little things that bring happiness into my life

Stationery. Yes, that's it. That's the key to make me feel happier!

Following up another post I wrote yesterday, I also have another three little tools that I got on the same day.

But before I introduce to you the first thing I got, I have a little story to tell. I am an HK girl who currently studies the IBDP programme, a burdening and difficult high school diploma programme that I am sure many of you have heard of. I study Chemistry HL, and I am grateful that I have a chemistry tutor who is awesome and knows tons in that particular field. One day, we were discussing about how humans have only been using up a small percentage of the brain. 

So I asked him, how can we make use of the other areas of the brain?

The answer I got was, you need to increase the amount of neural connections in your brain. To do that, you need to do more things that you don't usually do. This includes taking risks (no it does not necessarily mean you should do anything illegal), or even just start doing things with your left hand!

So that inspired me to start learning to do things with my left hand. This includes writing with my left hand. I have a hard bump on my right middle finger since I was a child, and I think it may have resulted from holding on the pencil too tight or simply because I didn't hold a pencil right (or both.). So I decided if I was going to learn to write with my left hand, I'm going to do this right this time. So here we are, my first little tool, a tool that ensures that you are holding the pencil correctly:

It is made for left handers!

A closer look - aren't those pretty colours!?!!

Look at that colour!!

My attempt in writing with my left hand

Now, I can truly start my journey of learning to do things with my left hand! Whether or not that makes more neural connections or not, it's fun to learn more!

The second little thing I got is a double ended Tombow Playcolor2 marker! I've used this pen before and I found it amazing. Unfortunately the shop I got my marker closed down :( But thankfully I once again discovered that this pen was sold at QIPS! So heres a picture!

$10 HKD - totally worth it!

Written on paper

Finally, last but not least, Washi tape. Again, it's from QIPS at reasonable price of $14 HKD. The colour is beautiful, check this out!

woot woot shippin that colour!

That's all for today!
