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
I like blogging, but it shows a really personal part of me, but at the same time i only want to let certain people know about what i think and what i write. I don't want to private this blog as i think that some of my posts will help people even if they randomly stumble upon it. You never know how much your words and actions mean to another person -- it may mean a lot to some but nothing to you haha.
For this reason, i only put the link at my bio on the social media platforms i use and this may come as a pleasant(?) surprise to those bothered to click and find out more about me. haha. And i also allowed by blog to be google-able for anyone who wants info regrading the topics i wrote. I don't tell my friends i have a blog, "go read!" Because i only want those who really need it or really want to know what i think to read. There are many who don't know the existence of this blog, but i don't really care haha. I cherish my offline relationships more anyway, i think everyone does (?) I hope.
Maybe cos i'm insecure lulz, but that's what i'm comfortable with now.
Recently, Twitter has this function in which it places your friend's tweets at the top of the timeline. Ugh, kinda hate that function -- don't know if i can toggle it off -- cos it means nearly all your followers who are active can see your tweet. I know people will see my tweet anyway, but i don't want it to be placed at the top so ALL my followers can see luls.
I dislike attention lol. I only want people who are surfing twitter at that 1-2 hours span to see my tweets. That WAS the beauty of twitter!?
Idk why too. I mean i know my thinking may seem a little contradictory but i don't know if anyone else thinks that way.
Recognising the power of social media, i'm more careful about my followers and what i post. I make sure i know that person who is following me. I don't like showing my past to people who i don't even know. Blogger and Twitter shows more of my thoughts but Facebook and Insta shows my life. I don't want a random dude to scroll through my fb and insta regardless of their intention. Hence it's all private! I don't want people to judge me based on my pics when they don't even know me!?

Just finished our 1st Sociology Camp meeting with the OGLs and OCOMM! Really glad that my close friends are all in this with me. If they weren't here, it would be really different. It's amazing how the presence of you guys help so much :) And the ogls and ocomm are all really nice, friendly and smart people! I hope they won't tire out. Cos i get tired of this sometimes. I still feel like i'm not up to it sigh. I mean i'm really blur sometimes, I get nervous in front of people, and there's just so much things don't know. How can i even lead lulz. But i'm learning from everyone, and there are helpful seniors who make sure everything's in place which makes me less stressed. I hope i'll be able to meet their expectations HAHA (if they even have any) KIDDING. I have HIGH expectations for this.
So, if one of you happen to stumble across this chunk of thoughts please help me along! I don't like being seen as a leader who's "high up there" and unapproachable, i'd prefer you to look at me as a friend and be honest with me. Haha but it takes courage to be honest too. And it takes time to be friends. I kinda like this position because i can interact with all comms haha! Look forward to working with everyone and i hope i can set my brain at the right tone lol.

“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.
