Hello there! ^^ I'm blogging at this really awkward timing of the day because I have a lil' bit of time to spare before I go for my jogging later ! The sun's much too hot to be running now, so I'm staying home for awhile now, ♥


Call me slow, but I'm finally caught up with the whole "Stephanie Koh" thing. I'm not someone who's fond of getting updated with local news but I came across a video about her on Youtube and decided to check her actual video out! ^^ Oh, the link's below if you would want to check it out. I know I'm slow, but at least I'm still within the 2014 news .________.

Stephanie Koh's Video on "Why I'm not proud to be a Singaporean"

Anyway, I really support her stand ♥ People can think what they want to think, but I'm not going to be like the majority who support defaming her or asking her to "get out of our country". She has her freedom of speech and I think she's pretty cool to think the way she does (:

It is true that Singapore has no room for an artist! Any forms of the art is not strongly encouraged or supported in Singapore now. And trust me to say that, I'm not a typical student who does well in Science or Mathematics. Like she said, there is really no room for an arts students to do well in Singapore or make it big. The chances are so slim it's almost zero T.T

I like Singapore because it's safe and I grew up here. But I don't like Singapore because I don't want to be a teacher, doctor, lawyer or engineer. I grew up with my parents telling me that I need to study hard to become a teacher, and my Grandfather telling me that I need to work hard to become a Doctor in future.


But the truth is, I grew up otherwise. I don't deny that I ever considered being a teacher, probably teaching Chinese (since I'm best at that). But as time passes by and I grow older, I don't want to get engaged in those "in-the-mould" jobs. There's nothing wrong with those jobs, I just don't appreciate them like most people do (:

My sister's studying really hard to become a Mathematics Teacher; She likes it, and it's been her dream since young. There's nothing wrong with that and I'm really proud of her .. ♥


But I don't want to be that.

When I tell my mother that I want to learn Dancing outside, she doesn't support it. She's been talking to me quite a bit recently on how I shouldn't think of dance as a possible future .______. I know I'm not that good a dancer, but why am I not even given a chance to dream of such a possible future? What's so bad about seeking a career out of something I really love/enjoy doing? ♥♥

I'm a media student. I'm already learning something different (:


But I still wish I was given the support of doing something special, something I really want to do. Most of my relatives, upon hearing that I'm a media student, ask me if I will become a Journalist or News broadcaster at Mediacorp. They tell me that I'll be producing shows for our local station and all that .. But I don't want to.

There is no possibility in making it big in the Singapore's Media Industry. It's impossible, in our current times. If I were to pursue media in society, I want to do it abroad ♥ I don't want to stay in Mediacorp half my life. I just can't imagine a life like that ):


Don't blame an artist for wishing he/she could leave Singapore, if you don't allow his/her growth in our society. ♥ Not everyone wants to be a doctor, teacher, businessman or engineer.

I remember somewhere in 2012, I was having a chat with my 姐妹(s) over "The Education System in Singapore". We were grumbling over the stress we felt for our O Levels and how homework "sucks". I don't deny that homework does help enhance learning, but Singapore has too much homework! Some of us talked about leaving Singapore because the society is too much to handle.

If the system is making our youths inclined to leave the country, and if we're chasing out talents like Stephanie Koh .. What will we be left with? Sighhh the logic of the people.


There is no sense chasing out the future of Singapore, if we're already being taught in Social Studies how we're facing an "Ageing Population". Instead of trying to attract foreign talents and encouraging child-birth, why don't you try making the current youths encouraged to stay in Singapore instead. It's not impossible, our country just doesn't dare to try it.

Playing on the safe side? Yes that's a possibility of being successful. But if you're never taking the risk, you'll never reach the dreams.


//

And that's pretty much why I support Stephanie Koh and her stand, ♥
She deserves to be applauded for her courage in expressing herself, and for being such an artistic talent of Singapore. Yet, she's defamed and pushed out of the country.


Oh Singapore, how much further do you want to screw up?

This is Me - Demi Lovato ft. Joe Jonas ♥
Well there's no sense trying to be somebody else to fit in. Be yourself, be me.

Hey there! I haven't blogged in a long time, but I just couldn't find the motivation to type so I'm really sorry ): Today, I decided that I have the feels for typing so here goes nothing! Either ways, life has been pretty eventful and I'm just glad that time has passed this way ^^


Firstly, Chingay 2014 was amazing ♥ I spent the 3 days with my #LionMen throwing our lives at risk for the dancers and having the time of our lives together (: It was a great experience I suppose, doing helper work instead of dancing along that road again. So thankful for the other 9 of my LionMen who went through those tough days with me !!


And we spent the next day together @ AiTong as well ! ^^ Had Lion Dance + Lunch Reception so we ended up spending 4 complete days together. Really couldn't bear to say Goodbye, because it was nice having such a group of graduates together .. ♥ Either ways, I'm really glad to have had such a wonderful experience @ Chingay this year.


//

Next, I'm finally done with Year 01 as a Mass Communication Student @ NP/FMS !! ♥ I can't believe I've completed an entire year just like that, doing something I never expected myself to be doing at this point of time in my life O.O Final Week went by like a blink, rushing through radio, speech comm and marcomm made everything passed by so fast.

To my Charmsters, thank you for this entire semester (': Thank you for pulling me along in tough times and for sticking by my side when I felt like giving up sometimes, ♥ All 4 of you have been the greatest pillars of support throughout this semester and I'll always miss the happy times we rushed through assignments and laughed over stupid things.


Oh, presentation ended on Valentines' Day! :P It's a rather funny way to end my entire year but still, I'm really happy I spent half of that day with my 110 lovelies. I'll miss them a lot ):

//


Had 110 Outing yesterday @ Siloso Beach (Sentosa) !! ♥ We finally decided on a class outing after discussing since forever .______. Really great because 14 people turned up and we had a blast at the beach ^^

Played in the water, monkey, skipped rocks, murderer, buried Min, played songs on the guitar/ukelele, ate a lot of food, talked, took photos and so many more! Poly students really define a fun day because everyone knows how to have a good time (: Some of us had dinner @ Vivo after that and had that funny incident with the Olympus Camera. #110secrets #tooashamedtoreveal


I'll really miss this class of mine T.T Never thought that a class in Poly would forge such a strong bond, especially one that didn't spend a lot of time together. But 110 has such a special friendship that I can't find anywhere else in NP .. ♥ We are friends that treat one another like family since Day 01. No politics, no gossips, no hatred or unspoken feelings.


If you dislike someone, you tell them. Work is separated from friendship and nobody would leave an argument unsolved (': The best thing about 110 is that we will always dedicate time together and enjoy the little time we had, ♥ I'll really miss this class, so much.

On a side note, I haven't talk about Zodall Steamboat as well !! ♥


Had Zodall Steamboat the next day after I started my holidays and it was such a crazy day! We celebrated Rixin/Jaslyn's birthday together so it was a double surprise. Had to hide it from each of them without making the other suspicious. We even hid the Heimdall GLs in Joel's room from Rixin HAHAHAHAHA! Trust me, I don't know how we did it, but we did ♥♥

Met the Heimdall GLs + Zodall (without the both of them) @ BTP early to shop for stuffs and met them at Joel's house without letting them know we met prior. Prepared the food and all and distracted Rixin till dinner time! :P He was pretty surprised I supposed, especially when the GLs showed up!


The steamboat was so good because the food was delicious ! ♥ Huiling was so cute throughout steamboat #Ikennut #shekeptdroppingfood #clumsygirl95


And we celebrated Jaslyn's birthday after dinner, making her surprised as well ^^ The rest of the night was spent talking and chilling and catching up on missed times (': Haven't seen Zodall for awhile since the new year began and I really miss the days we spent 6/7 days together, ♥ Sometimes I wish things never changed but then again, what's a world without change.


I shan't talk much about this again lest I get emotional. But I wish they knew how much they mean to me and how I hope Zodall never has to say Goodbye for real someday.

I've talked a lot about the entire month in general, and I wouldn't talk much about Nick .. ♥ He knows how we've been and people who have been around us know as well (: We have been well and really enjoy spending the lil' amount of time we have together.

He's a blessing to me and I'm glad that everyone's embracing this fact really well. Thank you, Nick, for being such a gift from God ♥ You're a reminder that God loves me so much and that he will always guide me towards happiness. But then again, you're also a burden ): #contradictions #iregret #killmepls #myboyfsuchaloser

Well I've pretty much summed up February ^^

I know I couldn't put everything down into words, but then again who would want to read them boring details? My life hasn't been the most interesting so far this year, but these are days well spent and blessed anyhow, ♥ 


Oh right! Nick gave me the book "The Fault in our Stars" for Valentines' Day because I was telling him how badly I want to read it ^^ I finished it in 2 nights and now I'm suffering the post-reading syndromes ): Most people say the book is good while some claim that it's overrated. For me? I feel that it's definitely worth the read if you're a poetry person ! ♥ Hehehehe hints.

It has a lot of poetry within and it's a rather literature book than a adventure/fantasy one. It addresses very real issues and you have to deal with how direct it is. The best part of the book is how it explains that "It is the nature of stars to cross" and how some things can't be avoided .. ♥ But to sum the book up? Those are thoughts I cannot fathom into constellations. #hints


Please do check it out! ^^ Oh but it's not easily found because Nick had to go all the way to Jurong just to get it #guilt No I will not lend you the book. I am stingy and I don't like my books getting crumpled/dirtied.

//

I'll try to post again .. If I have the feels. Don't judge me because I can't seem to post anything proper if I don't have any feels T.T Sighhhhh. It's going to be a good March, isn't it? That's when Spring is fully in season, and I can't wait for the blossoming of the flowers ♥♥

Cherry Blossoms, Strawberries and a lot of flowers accompanied with sunshine. I will definitely look forward to this March .. Most definitely.

Free - Princess & The Pauper ♥
Really in love with these songs recently and all cartoon-based songs ^^

Hello there! This post is going to seem rather boring to some of you, because I'm dedicating this to a very special friend of mine (: I know she reads my blog once in a very long while (hahahaha!) but I hope she'll see this ♥



I met this girl somewhere in April last year, and we've been friends for less than a year. Somehow, I seemed to have known her my whole life !! ♥ There are times in life when you meet someone, and you have such a strong gut feeling that they have to be part of your life, no matter in which way. When I first became friends with her, I had one of those feelings (':

It's really amazing watching our friendship grow. We were friends who clicked off from the very first day, and never had a day where we wanted to give up on this friendship. Through our friendship, we are inseparable friends .. ♥ Despite being really different people, we always seem to understand how the other felt/thought even if they didn't tell us.

 //


The first time we had unpleasant feelings for one another, I'll always remember. I didn't talk to her for almost an entire day, but the next day .. We talked like nothing happened ! ♥ We were always friends who could rely on one another to walk miles for us, and there wasn't a time I felt embarrassed to ask for her help ^^ I could rely on her, I knew she'd always be here for me.

I always thought that our friendship was a little funny .. We argued a lot over little things. She never understood why I felt the way I did, and I never agreed with her opinions! But somehow, we'll always find a common point between us that kept us together ♥ We respect one another, even if we don't actually agree on ANYTHING much, HAHAHAHAHA!


Like I mentioned above, we are inseparable. In pairwork, we won't even consider turning to anybody except one another! In groupwork, you take us both or you take none of us! ♥ I remember how we always thought about becoming web designers where she would do the Photoshop and I'd do the Dreamweaver ^^

//

From April till now, we've physically drifted a little. Now, we don't spend as much time anymore ): I don't blame any of us because we no longer have similar schedules. But it's heart-warming, how we always try to find time for each other, ♥ We spend lecture days together, and buy food together even if it meant taking a longer time (':


I'm sorry I haven't been a better friend to you, but I'm so glad that you're always so understanding to me. You've been the most wonderful friend and I will always remember the days you poured out your heartfelt feelings to me as if you trusted me to keep them safe.

I can't forget the day you showed up on my performance day, as a surprise !! ♥ You brought me beautiful flowers and couldn't stop smiling ^^ We haven't talked much over the past one month prior to that, but you came along and supported me with all your heart. I could never thank you enough because you were the biggest surprise that evening (:

We don't agree on much, in fact we agree on nothing! ._____. #guilt But we've somehow found a balance between us! Thank you for being my friend, Joelle ♥ You don't know how much I treasure a friendship like ours. You're my BFF in FMS/NP and will always be!

Happy 18th Birthday, Stop being such an emo-nemo! ^^

Love, Me - Collin Raye ♥
This song will always remind me of you (: Thank you for our friendship, #LEGLONGCLUB.
