Rarity

Hello!
Woke up to sunrays dancing on the windows, lights seeping through the curtains, sounds of kids' laughter and adults' chatter.
A splendid view overlooking a water body with relaxing waves and still yatches.
It is a perfect Sunday morning.
Just got home from a chalet at Changi, getting there was pretty interesting because I was alone at night and the area was pretty dark and secluded.
With the looming trees and uninviting gates, I stepped in only to be greeted by family so everything was great!
It's a nice place, though a little aged.
Then went to mak yah's place and watched Mr lee's procession.
It was surreal but one part that caught my attention was when they drove through commonwealth-clementi and the crowd was singing "We are Singapore" like I felt so so touched.
And proud.
And of course a bit bummed I couldn't be there to join their spirit.
It looked like national day and i'm sure we're in the world's eye as of this week.
It was an unimaginable sight but it was more than amazing to witness.
This has been an indescribable week for us Singapore and I truly hope the spirit and compassion is upheld.

Obviously did not get much rest over the weekends, but am thrilled to have been blessed with health and love.
Ok too weird? Hahaha
Dreading school but whatevs.
Adeu ^^

Great vibes

Hello!
It's one of those days again, I feel so inspired but I forgot school still exists.
Sometimes I feel like telling people not to worry about me because I know what i'm doing, but sometimes too I reflect and wonder, "Do I really know what i'm doing? Does anyone ever know what they're doing?"
Like I read a lot of divergents who succeeded just because they believed.
How do they assure themselves it would work?
So anyways, in the midst of being half submerged in homeworks and outside commitments, I realised I needed some me time.
So here I am... trying to make sense of life right now.
I have to step up my game and this is serious.
But i also have to not commit the same mistakes others do and that is forget to live amidst the paper chase.
I mean, what is one day compared to a year right?
But we almost always forget that the value of a second can be priceless.

Seeing how brain drain Singapore is becoming, and of course the possibility of too much graduates, I understand that paper qualifications alone will not cut it and people are kidding themselves if they think that way.
And when are we given the opportunity to practice the values needed in the working world, if not now?
How many people do I know get extremely good results yet have such a low EQ and social sensitivity, I dont know who to blame.
Even if they get great jobs, I feel sorry for the wasted life and I can only hope they break out of that curse.
Adversely, what about those really pleasant, hardworking, teamworker who can barely pass?
Are they going to be beat out by more "capable" students just because those kids can memorize more words than them?
Whatever.

So let me have my lunch in peace, forget my responsibilities for a while and then get back to them.
I know I can handle this, very well.
And let me take this chance to thank all those who never ever fail to believe in me in whatever I do.
A passing remark, a constant reminder, nagging, I know you care.
Since young I have been blessed to never be void of moral support from the people around me, yes, even strangers.
So as a way of giving back, hello anyone whose eyes are at this passage, I hope you find success in whatever you do.
Just know that success spells out differently for everyone.
Remember, if one path doesn't work, don't be afraid to try another.
Don't put a limit on yourself just because you're comfortable.
Your mental strength should be sacred, strengthened and assimilated within yourself.
So that in the midst of putting others first, you won't lose yourself and whatever you uphold.
Afterall, how do you know how successful you can be unless you have faith and try?

And most important of all, I pray I have the courage to follow my own beliefs.

Hello!
So a lot of fun and unfun things have been happening (explains my fairly long absence) and the major one being that my phone's motherboard got spoilt and thus everything I preserved with my heart and soul is all gone just like that.
My memos, recordings, unupdated apps, just everything precious.
But whatever, hopefully I get something better in the future.

Hahah anyways, indeed I have been very busy with school, (aka being on a not-passing-up-homeworks-spree) and facing humans I don't necessarily fancy, and also of course working hard on MCS' upcoming production.
Pretty excited for it, albeit being not too ready.
We'll do this!
And outside stuff such as bahas and meeting Eriqa (our bruneian friend we met during MI world 2013) and family outings makes it more unlikely for me to touch blogger.

Let me just tell you that one of my sweetest dream and beautiful nightmare is coming true, and that is Demi lovato, as well as WWE is both coming to SG.
Both on my A levels year, so I hope that if I do get to go for both, i'd have motivation that lasts till the last paper.
So stoked I can barely breathe (or is it the haze lol jk cant believe I said that booo)

Anyway just came back from our first time at river safari!
Had soo much fun!
The pandas are smaller than I thought they'd be, but are soooo cute aiseh mama got to see her favourite animal groove around.
Ate manhattan afterwards, and had a bad taxi day cause taxis were either late or loserly.
Puhleese.
But whatevs!

Met eriqa twice during her stay in SG!
First, on Thursday night, we brought her around Marina bay and walked all the way from peninsula to gardens by the bay.
That spectacular lights show around 10.30pm made me forget I had school the next day hahaha.
It was a great night, really tiring but worth the ric flair theme song that came up as I was walking down the stairs.
And then we scheduled another meet up for us to bring her to Sentosa, this time with a new friend, Atiqah (or so I hope I spelt the name right)
Due to the constriction of time though, we only managed to bring them around imbiah, RWS and the beaches.
(I wanted to bring them to fort siloso!)
And then they wanted to head on to clarke quay for the gmax so of course we had to let them do it!
That was a good day where we wrapped up the night by sleeping over at far east residences.
The next morning, me and syuh went to school straight from town.
Reached a little late but yolo.

So the march holidays are coming to an end and obviously nothing is good about it.
Holidays are so fun.
Adeu ^^
