University I can literally cry over it. Not simply because it's stressful. That's such an understatement of what I'm going through now. I appreciate the skills and knowledge I get from my university and I totally understand how "knowledge is sweet ". I totally agree on this point by the way. But what I can't stand is how this is achieved at the expanse of something larger. Something that I recently discovered to be a part of myself. A part of my identity as a person on this earth. Having to take in something new is almost as if trading this precious part of me for something less precious. I can't let that happen... And yet, I somehow have to...? You can clearly tell my confusion in that whole paragraph alone, but trust me, it gets worse. I don't get how I am able to work on an assignment I put my blood, sweat and tears into, and forget all knowledge of it the following week (when I get back to it for edits). It's like some sort of scary nig...

Desperately trying to cling on to the pieces of myself wherever I go.

Gardens By The Bay GBTB is one of Singapore's best tourist attractions! Indeed, during the festival, I barely squeezed my way through many families and even photographers who'd been at a spot for who knows how long! I made a trip down to GBTB (flower dome) to bring my grandma out to see some flowers because she really loves them and you know what they say, photos you snap may not look like how you see it in real life. I'm not even talking about photoshop nor any form of editing.. But here is my #nofilter mini album of GBTB I created to show you just how beautiful all these flowers are.. (p.s. Click to enlarge the images!) ^ These were so gorgeous.. I looked up and just gazed at them as I walked through a small tunnel of vines and flowers. I'm not gonna lie, I was too busy admiring these flowers, I didn't take a second look at their names... ^ This. is. my. FAVORITE. We also explored other parts of G...

"Don't cry for idiots ," they said. "They're not worth your tears," they said. Then what about non-idiots ? Are they, then, worth my tears?

Longing It's been a few days without seeing Ben and I think I'm malfunctioning. Missing you, bæ .

A Blessing Lately, my youth group has been having talks about addiction to cursing/swearing/games... And I'd like to share a little about my experience. It won't take long, don't worry. I have always noticed myself holding back from the mainstream apps or games. I do this because I know that in my weakness, I'd usually get addicted to it pretty quickly. I'd end up replacing this specific app/game with the God-spot in my heart. It'd quickly rob me of true joy - joy that only the Holy Spirit can fill in my heart. No one and nothing else can. There was this one time, though having gone through this cycle many times, I'd failed to resist once again. I immersed myself in a phone app game. I paid so much for it, even. I'd never paid so much for a phone app - ever. And here I was, all ready to make necessary transactions to beautify my character. I missed doing my Quiet Time with God for many days, giving the excuse that I was too tired after playing m...

Working On It I have some things to confess... Confession #1 : It's been at least a month since I last wrote a complete song. Confession #2 : I did not regret taking a break. Confession #3 : I just wrote a song. I think that being a creative person, I just needed to find some space and time to gather ideas. Though simply put, there were many things going on in my life and many factors contributed to the lack of enthusiasm I had for music for the past month. #1: Insecurity I'm not the best vocalist in the entire world and I don't aspire to be one. It just kinda sucks to know that I'm just average and though I kind of try to be better, it doesn't really work because my goal is simply different. I just sing to deliver my songwriting ideas across in hopes that some talent agency out there would discover my song and decide to use it. I'm not great at singing, but it is a tool to help me.. Well, I can't help but feel inferior when I see great artistes...

Teenage Life After some serious consideration - in the past minute - I have decided to do a post on "teenage life". Hey, everyone's different so I'm just going to share based on my perspective and slot in some of my experiences as a teenager. So they say that a teen is considered a "teen" when he or she is between 12 and 20 years old. So as long as your age has the "-teen" part at the end, you're a teen, if not, you're no longer one. As such, I feel pretty old right now. Well, OL DER , anyway. At 13, most Singaporeans go through this education system called "secondary school". At that age, everybody probably thought they'd have more freedom. Perhaps, even have the chance to go wild and free in school every day and the teachers wouldn't care less? RED BUTTON . That's a CRAZY misconception I keep hearing of!! Yes, while it is true that as you grow older, you get more freedom, but I believe now as I look back - and...

Crystals (Cover) My friends and I knew graduation wasn't the end. We were dying for more fun with music. So we gathered and simply decided to do a cover of a song. I know this is long overdue, but here it is! A cover of "Crystals" by Of Monsters And Men, done by my friends and yours truly. Enjoy (: Click here if you wish to find out more about the Producer of the ^above^ song + video!

What sucks? It's been six months since you passed your driving test, within six months, you have never driven. Within the past few days you just started driving again, but you're not getting perfect scenarios, have two experienced drivers in the car giving different advice, then getting misinterpreted for being angry when you're really just confused - and in a real life situation, nobody's gonna wait for you to think in the middle of the road - so you raise your voice to ask them for a clear answer or else you'd upset a lot of drivers, but at the end of the day, you raised your voice in urgency, not anger, then today you almost got into an accident that's completely your fault, endangering the lives of your beloved parents, one already injured the day before, then have your dad lose trust in you completely. Day 4 of driving. But hey, that all sounds really stupid, right? At the end of the day, you just suck. So what sucks? You . Go take public transpor...
