In my birthday week blogpost, i mentioned how Big Ben was trying to convince me to buy a Cartier.
Besides such an unfeasible option for the moment, he also tried getting me to take particular type of pictures of myself for Instagram.

Ben: Joyce, your instagram sucks. Let me show you how it’s done. *whips out his phone*
Me: Ughhhh
Ben: Look, you gotta take more selfies. See this? *shows me pic of girls sitting down in shorts* Show some thigh! It always works. Confirm guys will like. And this… *shows me pic of girl taking a selfie from a high angle* CANNOT GO WRONG.
Me: No no noooo!!!

Look, i’m DONE taking so many selfies.
Been there, done that.
I took hundreds of selfies when i was in my early 20s and posted them all over my blog, i think i’m just kinda over it!
The only valid reason i have to take a selfie nowadays is when i try some new make up look and want to credit the make up brands who gave them to me.
There. That’s me being really honest.

I don’t mind taking more body selfies of my health and fitness improvement,
but that seems to be moving along rather slowly these days cos of my hectic schedule
(yes yes as i’m writing this i am reminded yet again on how i need to prioritise my life-work-health balance)

Took this online test that made me laugh and think about what Ben said.

And then this question made me think about something Yishyene said to me in London some time last year.

I will unabashedly take pictures of my food ESPECIALLY when i’m traveling (cos i want to remember everything i ate!) and told her something Ryan said to me over dinner a year prior (also in London), “Such an Asian thing to do.”
Well, i *am* Asian so let me take my food pictures in peace!

When Yishyene heard that, she piped up, “Oh, thanks to Instagram, EVERYONE takes pictures of their food now. It’s not an Asian thing anymore. It’s an everyone thing.”

Hahahah!!!

Admittedly, there must have been once or twice i even posted a pic of a dish wiped clean just to exemplify how amazing it was till i dove straight in with no regard for a photo.

A few other questions on this online quiz that made me giggle

Yes that’s me. I *will* congratulate myself a teensy bit.
The feeling of accomplishment is short-lived tho.

Oh my god i actually know of people (whom i shall kindly remain anon) who’ve surfed IG next to me, seen pix they like but INTENTIONALLY don’t like them cos they want to be cool. I call them the silent surfers.

Can you guess what my answer to the above Q was?
The one in the middle. So. Totally. Me.
String of happy emojis and everything.
Likes don’t cost me anything!
And if i like a pic, then i’ll double tap it cos if Love is limitless then Likes DEFINITELY ARE.

There were other Qs but anyway, my result was…

Phew. I know i am but it’s nice to receive some reassurance.

This test (left below) is on The Whyte Academy

Then i thought, huh, might as well just take the FB one for fun (and i know i’m quite bad at FB, i just post stuff and rarely surf :p)

I don’t play candy crush or any games. I just don’t have the time to.
Was just telling someone that i’m so busy i sometimes take a day to reply someone’s whatsapp msg.

Buttt if i DID need points or something, i would shamelessly opt for the answer on the left.

Why can’t one just whatsapp…. :p
Ok ok to each his own. #NoJudgement

On my side, i loudly proclaim my major love for my girl friends all the time on FB XD

Wow why so serious. I chose the middle.
Realistically, i just switch it off in the settings :p

My results…

…. yay me!?

Take the tests yourself *here*

The quizzes above were set by one of the members of The Whyte Academy faculty called Jessie Molarr

Let him groom you (as well as he grooms his moustache) on how to be the ultimate Social Media Socialite.
And then discover if you are a social sociopath or the brink of being socially cold.

There’s another professor from the faculty with crazy eyes (that reminds me of Patty) who will groom you on EXTRAORDINARY ETIQUETTE

So extraordinary you’ll get questions like THIS

The scary thing is i KNOW people who’ve done the right in front of me in public.
And they’re not even my age. They’re a friend’s parent.  😯

After taking some of these tests, i’m proud to announce i am an alumni of The Whyte Academy!
Ben, I don’t need your approval for the kind of pictures i take for IG!

All i had to do was surf The Whyte Academy and train myself online  😎
