I returned home from an extremely long day at school last night and I thought I would immediately crash but as I laid in bed – my sleep-deprived body evidently worn out – I couldn't stop thinking about how far I've come. Four years ago, I began my new academic journey as an undergraduate at NTU's Wee Kim Wee School of Communication & Information. My first steps into the faculty were filled with uncertainty but excitement was cavorting in my ribcage. The 19-year-old me was very different from the person I am now. After six years of negative self-talk, I was nursing a damaged mindset. But I did it with the help of my close friends, especially the bestf whom I will eternally be thankful for. That healing period was tougher than I expected and I knew entering an entirely new environment would do nothing to help me recover any quicker. Still, I took the plunge. Looking back now, I sure am glad I chose WKWSCI in the end. I guess it was a year of realisation...

It's been a while since I last updated and I guess the reason I've been away for this long is because every day has pretty much been the same but I'm still more than just grateful. 😊 Every day is such a mystery and I'm so glad most days end on a rather good note. Although I've been battling a constant massive headache every night for almost a week now, and I sometimes take close to 2 hours to fall asleep, I'm actually quite happy. Despite the challenges and the occasional need to rant, I believe everything will be worthwhile. 😌 I've also been worrying about the whole internship thing but I'm so, so thankful and humbled by all the opportunities I've been offered. 🙆 I'm just going to keep working harder. 💪 Today has been a rather exhausting yet fulfilling day. (I secretly love it when days are like that.) While on the way to school, I was on the brink of tears just thinking about how I've to survive the entire day on less than 5 h...

Celebratory post because the first week of school is over!!! -throws confetti- -raises pompoms- -pops champagne- But of course, the worst is yet to come and I've to keep my head up while mentally reminding myself that there is still 12 weeks left till I'm done with the semester. Nothing really happened during the week though. Although most of my lectures already began, it wasn't as demanding as it will be in the coming weeks. I had a taste of what 3 of my modules are going to be like and if it continues this way, I'll be more than just contented. Still, docu-writing classes only begin next week. Looking through the syllabus, I know for sure it's gonna be one hell of a module. Weekly discussions, in-class assignments, final project; I cannot say with confidence this module will be a smooth ride. All I'm hoping for the best. Tutorials for my Korean language class also begins next week. Hooray because I'll be starting on level 3, which would ...

Before posting, I'd like to share the following music video by Jay Park.   Jay Park is, by far, one of my favourite  solo male artist. ☺ Metronome  has been on replay ever since I first heard it two days ago. What makes the song even more awesome is the fact that Simon D and Gray are in it too! I'm so proud of Simon D for making his comeback in this song. I've always wondered what would happen to his music career ever since Supreme Team disbanded last year but hearing him rap again has got to be one of the best ways to celebrate the end of this semester. ☺ I also really, really love Gray's part. It's just so… amazing. Anyway, enjoy the song and spread the goodness! Moving on to what I'm about to share. Today marked the last day of Y2S2. Not that there's nothing left to school but I've officially ended all my lessons and what's left are the written papers and my listening and oral test for Jap. Other than that, I guess I could ...

Upon seeing all the #100happydays hashtags on Instagram, I thought I could attempt to do it too. Just that, since I'm no longer active on Instagram (I still browse through my feed every morning though), I shall do it here. ☺ No, I'm not going to post one every day. It's too much of a chore amidst all the deadlines I have to meet. I'll probably collate, say, 5~6 days into one post before publishing. That makes reading a whole lot easier as well, right? But, since today is day 1 , I shall make an exception. ☺ #Day1: 25 March 2014 I've already posted this photo on Instagram but I just wanted to share how proud I am to be my father's daughter. I love finding photos of my dad. It helps me appreciate him in ways I would never have imagined if not for those photos and it helps me see him in ways I would never witness for myself. ☺ I remember on my first Speech tutorial a year ago, we had an impromptu "speech". Okay, I don't know the detai...

Greeting y'all with a selfie fresh after my haircut last week! ت I went back to bangs and also took 1-inch off the ends. And I've been receiving positive feedback ever since! My friends say I look different, younger and more innocent . My family, however, don't praise my appearance very much. In fact, they don't say anything whenever I change my hairstyle. ☹ That's that! With Monday coming to an end, I thought it'd be a good time to update this site a little before I plunge into completing a virtually never-ending list of items, which revolves around meeting deadlines and preparing for whatever upcoming (graded) assignments. Thankfully, it's the final week of school and as much as I'm nervous for the consecutive challenges , I can't wait for Friday to be over. ت There was literally  nothing much in school today. For the first time after 5 weeks, I met my group mates to think up a phenomenon to write a 5 page report on, which is...
