I am a university student who loves chocolate! Coffee is my best buddy when it comes to taking on my finals. I have a tendency to want to try and do so many different things at once and as a result, I've found my hobbies to be as such!
Nerfing is one of them, but aside from that, I also love arts and craft. I have my own startup, Thumbforlego at: where I sell my works! 
I love to do all sorts of crafting, so you will see me uploading posts of my leathercrafts, thumbdrives, replica guns, nerf gun modifications and gundam models! I'm fortunate enough to be blessed by really supportive parents and given the chance to explore many, many parts of the world and try out a plethora of activities. This is also how I discovered my love for film photography, videography and piano. 
The film photo above is unedited! My family loves cold countries xD. We managed to catch the northern lights twice! 
I've also gotten the chance to experience many of nature's wonders 
And my most freezing experience to date: riding a husky ski sled into the sunset (It was -38 to -40 degrees celsius and the huskies were pretty fast.)

Why 36000feetabove? This is the altitude that commercial planes cruise at and I have always loved the view up in the sky, being amongst the sea of clouds. :) Personally, my favourite favourite food has got to be airplane buns! Does anyone else feel the same way?! With a slice of butter and looking out of the window, I have yet to find an experience that can beat that. 
After tomorrow, before today

Last week has been a really really busy week! actually i am busy for every weekend, but not necessarily every weekday THANKFULLY. but i think the upcoming weeks are gonna be keeping me real busy with the settling for my future studies. as troublesome as it seems, i have to make a decision on what to do with my future :) i really really miss those JC days when you dont even have to think on what you have to do, but rather all you need to do is to study hard, and complete your homework! in my opinion, it beats racking your brains on what to do in future. But anyway before i go on rambling on what i have on the table for my future, lemma tell ya what happened during the whole week! This is the week whereby after all the planning for our battery cohesion (army), it has finally happened! many would be able to understand the feeling of having planned for an event and watching it come to past. Ah frankly speaking if there is no incentive in doing the planning for cohesion, i doubt i will be taking it on so willingly like as such xD but oh well, im glad that after ironing out the hiccups and enquiring from the sentosa staff who...havent been quite helpful due to the accuracy of information given and them pushing us from department to department, just like any other corporation, we kinda just ended up changing plans instead.
so....on monday, me and yun chang, my fellow camp mate who is a GBAD (Ground Based Air Defence) operator, had to make a trip down to sentosa itself to buy entrance tickets. since its a pretty large group...thought we would have to mass buy, according to the info given by Sentosa. anyway, we grabbed our officer's car and drove down from camp to sentosa! funny thing is because of the laggy GPS unit in the car, we found ourselves in NUS instead of Sentosa. LOLOL its like the GPS gave us really badly estimated distances and delayed instructions. ie "Turn left at the upcoming junction" would be said when we cross the stop line at the junction like lol yeah we're totally gonna react to that in time xD i guess its probably gonna be more for us to look at the map and discern it for ourselves. but anyway, we finally found ourselves in Sentosa and managed to find the corporate office, after making a detour at Marina Cove. It feels kinda boss being able to drive freely around outside of camp during typical office hours, when us NSFs would find ourselves cooped up in out camp.
UGH the christian radio i used to listen to, todayschristianmusic.com....somehow i cant listen to it anymore cuz they dont support my region. >:( come on, its the internet!! and its not like its pornography or something else illegal alright! its something good in fact! ugh.
Getting back, after spending half the day driving around the different locations, as the Sentosa people directed us from one branch to another, we ended up going back to camp without buying any entrance tickets. like uber fail man -.- luckily i am doing this during my NS time, if not i'm gonna be so pissed as they wasted my time!! Friday was the actual cohesion, and there were some hiccups and confusion here and there because yeah it was kinda complicated, but oh well! at least i'm glad my fellow guys enjoyed the cohesion! :) learnt some stuff during this whole planning thing, so yeah awesome! :D cohesion was built around childhood games, so many of them had the chance to play those good old childhood games once again, like skipping rope with rubberbands tied together, or eraser flipping games! those good old nostalgic days of ours :P nowadays, kids just glue their face to the iPad screens. sigh! even many adults are guilty of being addicted to their smart phones, always surfing facebook as long as they have free time in the train/bus. Poor kids, its like they are having their childhood and eyesight lol being stolen away right in front of them. They have no idea what they are missing out man, the interactions we used to have with our classmates while playing those eraser flipping games, or five stones or chapteh!
I was listening to this song when blogging, so you might want to play the song and continue reading the blog post! i suspect this one is gonna be a pretty wordy one :)
 On a sadder note, what you see there is a group photo! and when there is such a photo at the airport, it means two things, either arrival, or departure. Most of the time, its the latter. frankly speaking when i have friends/relatives flying back into Singapore, and i am there, we just go HIIIIII *grabs baggage and heads to car park. Who takes a group photo after someone comes back from overseas, i'm unsure! But anyway, congrats to Jireh (the one in red jacket) for getting a scholarship in the teaching of fine arts! wohoo! he is a super talented man. extremely artistic guy who really indulges in the arts and of course liquor, hahaha. i actually rushed down after my cohesion, which explains my semi-beach wear xD sheeesh speakin of which, its nearly impossible for me to get a tan :( really want one, but from what i see, the skies seem to be clearing up lately. The sun is back and i am so gonna be hitting the pool!  That's the trio! after what is left of the clique of closely-knitted together peeps. i had this really really awesome clique of good friends who are really fun to be with and we did all sorts of crazy stuff! Moreover, we are from different JCs and polytechnics but yet are able to click so well and all come from different backgrounds! but because of tertiary studies, work, etc etc one by one begin to fleet away and get busy with their lives, trying to forge their own future. Sadly, i guess there will come to a day when people would have to part and this is pretty much the time! luckily, Jireh is only going to be gone for 4 years... by then i would have finished my studies in most likely SIM. Gonna most probably be doing a degree in Psychology in University at Buffalo. Charlene, the only girl in the picture used to be like a mum to me in the past, hence she is "mum"! and jireh is charlene's "mum"! okay age check, i am one year younger than both of them, that makes me 21 and them 22. so technically, jireh is me "grandma" LOL okay lets not go there, but yeah, in four years time! i wonder what we would all be doing, will we all still be in the same clique, will i still be blogging away. so much uncertainties but that's life. Tuesday was the first day or rather night that i had my piano lesson! its been a really long while since i had a teacher for piano. hahaha when i told my friends in camp and around me that i am going for piano lesson, they all thought i was giving piano lessons! nono i just wanna learn all those really hard piano pieces because they happen to sound nice, and i am having difficulties, learning by myself is really slow so i got a teacher to aid me, and SHE IS GOOOD. the last time i had piano lessons was when i was in my first year in JC. My JC path was three years long because i retained. It was only in my repeat year and J2 was i forced to drop piano because i was spending a considerable time on the piano instead of studies. i really really LOVE to play the piano alright! so i was forced to stop piano lessons, but still continued to practice at home and in school, still continued with the various performances in PJC and those were really fun! got loads of exposure from there man. From solos, to piano duets, duets or triplets with strings or accompaniment music for singing, my GP teacher was the singer btw. and impromptu playing or simply background music, i had loads of fun with the piano during my JC days! sadly, because my parents felt that studies were more important, they practically killed a large portion of my passion for piano. ever since my JC days, i have been playing the piano about thrice a week? down from daily because of my stay-in in army requirements. and learning new songs on my own is pretty hard at times! Thank God i dont have to go through the trouble of hopping through different piano teachers, the first one i got is really really good! so yeap yeap i managed to cover a large portion of the scores, and evened out all my errors in the song, for some reason i cannot find the same scores on youtube anymore. NUUU luckily, i downloaded the mp3 version before it was taken down. Its been very long since i last taped myself playing the piano, but i guess i dont think i am going to be doing that in the near future, not until i learn new pieces! so currently what am i doing for piano? i am learning leisurely! i stopped at grade 7, but have no intention to continue with the grading system until i am able to find more time to practice (sounds impossible in the near future) i shall explain in the next blog post why it seems so impossible even after my NS. but anyway, i am still really glad that i found a new piano teacher! guess it was the right move to do, to go for new blood instead of going back to my previous piano teacher as i found myself plateauing. Will probably do one more blog post in camp when i have the time to do so! ^^ really hope i do have the time to churn out one more blog post which is gonna explain why i am going to be kept pretty busy for the upcoming weeks! i am most probably going to book in early tonight... really too tired out, need some much needed sleep! :( but before that, i'm gonna hit the piano! wohoo! hope practice goes smooth! Wow is this the first time i actually do a blog post for my activities on the weekdays?? woah. |
