Hey there! I just changed my blogskin :) It's a little user-unfriendly because you can't navigate my past posts by headings or hashtags. So i'm gonna update the codings, stay tuned! (The font's kinda hard to read too..other than these 3 peeves, i'm quite satisfied) Follow me on the links below! :) 29/4/2015.
Started this blog during the last few weeks of SEM1(AY2014/15) cos' i regained interest in blogging. I blog about anything - news, social issues, music - but mostly about my university life :) Hope my posts will help you to make better life (and module) choices! Currently a Sociology Major. Still fresh. xD
Haven't blogged in a long time cos I was still trying to settle down in university!
Too many readings to catch up, plus i was working had ccas stuff and church to settle. It was so hectic!! (IT IS STILL HECTIC)
Idk why i took up so many roles LOL I guess find it hard to say no, so in the end i ended up taking up so many responsibilities haha. Didn't really consider thoroughly. But I've learned how to prioritise!
But i really want to remember what i did in university, as much as possible--hence i started this blog!
Fresh start!!
I can't remember exactly what i did in the first month in uni (Goldfish mem bloop bloop) But i remember it being really hectic despite having no tutorials for the 1st 2 weeks. There were a lot of fairs. I went for many cca tryouts cos i didn't know what kind of cca i really wanted.
I really wanted to join Amplified! But i didn't get through the auditions): Maybe i'll try next year! Got into guitar ensem but it's not really my style so i rejected.. Anw, now i'm the PR director in Sociology Society! :D Nice bunch of people there and i'm happy to be in this community! But my passion for music is still burning hehe.
I think i suffered bit of culture shock when i came into NUS lol. Luckily there were seniors and friends that i've met before coming to nus which really helped me get by. I guess i wasn't as independent as i thought! University is SO BIG and you meet so many different people everyday, you don't have enough energy in your social batteries to bother to talk to them anymore. Over-exposed to changing stimuli LOL #psych
That's why i prefer sticking to people i've met before coming into NUS because there's this sense of security and belonging.. like my secondary sch/ JC friends and some of my colleagues haha.
I under-estimated the amount of people i had to meet *_* I joined CSS (Catholic Student's Soc) cos my church's priest highly encouraged us to. Ok i may seem like a holy person but i'm not LOL. I'm still unsure of my faith. My parents were catholics so since young i went to the church because they wanted me to. I didn't really like it sometimes, ;_; church is really boring for a kid lols. The main reason i went back to the youth group in church after A's was to see if i still really wanted to be a catholic. (And cos i had lots of time to spare la haha) After entering uni i didn't really join YG meetings anymore, cos i was involved in sec 3 confirmation praise & worship (IDK how i led this i felt kinda screwed up LOL) I questioned everything i did. Did i really wanna do it?
I'm still uncertain.
I attended church more for reflection and moral compass per se, rather than learning about God (okay even though it kinda overlaps but yea)
My parents, esp my dad always asks me to go church. Its not that i think its bad, but i dislike their reason for going church. I feel as though people go church so that good things will happen to them. And if you don't, its like you'll fail your exams and die of some incurable disease loll. Nowadays religion is so commercialised, it gives me that kinda feel anw. Doing a religion for 'image', or because your friends are there, or just cos u think it'll bring good luck to you.
Anw that's also the reason why i've skipped CSS meetings. Cos idk much peeps there as well. But they're really nice :) It also clashes with soci events haha. I don't really talk abt this to my christian or catholic friends.. Not really close to churchies cos we only meet twice a month :/ plus i'm from a the previous batches and they all alr went through what i've just started on. And its kinda weird lol. But its ironic, i realised i only share this with my friends who are non-christians.
I think i'm escaping this problem but i can't help it. Its a buggerrr
Anyway on a happier note, I'm really glad so many of my friends wished me happy birthday even though I've never really kept in touch with them!! :D

“To put away aimlessness and weakness, and to begin to think with purpose, is to enter the ranks of those strong ones who only recognize failure as one of the pathways to attainment; who make all conditions serve them, and who think strongly, attempt fearlessly, and accomplish masterfully.”
- James Allen Quotes
Sometimes I wonder how people see me and what they think of me. It scares me a bit, honestly. I am sure though, that what they think of me,
what they think my life is, is a complete misperception. I have always tried to show myself as a carefree person, as someone who wont get bothered
because of public judgements. I am sure my friend and family think there is nothing going wrong in my life, that I do not worry enough, that
I am always happy. And I am sure they probably somewhat hate me for it because, lets admit it, there is nothing worse than seeing someone
who is life seems so perfect while yours is a complete mess. Truth is, I have become an expert at pretending. I think we are all experts
or at least we are getting there.
