I really just have this tinge of warmth, blissfulness and a sense of comfort reading quotes. Its so true that whenever we are too occupied with our lives, we forget the little things that makes us happy in our lives.


“Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.” ― Marcel Proust

Such a nice nice nice quote that i chanced upon re-reading my twitter that has been dead for so long >< hahahaha reliving those innocent and playful days, where I tweet about how school was boring, with those long cca sessions etc etcc hahaa many many more stuff!! But looking back at it, it is those stupid moments that allowed me to smile stupidly at myself at this point of time. As i grow old, I guess i have learn to better appreciate those who really sticked through me and grew with me since they day i knew them <333 span="">

Year 1 of university has just ended, and it was definitely a memorable one that I wished I can relive it once more, (HAHA but maybe not the studying for finals part). Those experiences, friendships that I have forged, I'm really very thankful for all these wonderful opportunities that has been given to me((; As i re-look back into it, the very first most significant experience was definitely my first OCSP that I joined. It was a trip made me feel how lucky i am to be born in SIngapore, and i cant help but to think of how the children are doing in school right now. I hope they are doing fine in their school and the wall mural we left for them still brightens up their day as they look at it! The weather when we were there was pretty much cold, but they only had their thin and tattered blankets with them. They re-wore the same clothes for around 3 days but yet, it didnt bother at them at all. The children still had their own fun, running around the basketball court, screaming. It was just so blissful seeing them having so much fun. It was truly what happiness it all about (: The children, they all had their dreams they want to achieve, being a doctor, a teacher, a musician were just the small goal they had in their minds. I really wished that I have the ability to help them fufill their goals though deep inside my heart, I know that their fate was more or less decided, those better ones would probably make it to like a higher level of education, while the rest would probably continue helping out their parents, farming i guess....
Ahhhh come to think about it, i really miss the children there. Their sweet smile, their warmth, their enthusiasm..... I miss the girl whom was close to me :/ I will never forget how she gave me her pack of milk that she had, and said "姐姐你拿去" when they only had that as a drink..... I was really touched by her, i miss herrrrr. Her bright smile, her shy-ness when she showed me her dance moves, hahah so cute and innocent!!!! I wonder how is she now, I won't be able to see her anymore but I'm hoping that one day, maybe one day, she would contact me through the telephone number i gave her. How i really wishhhh i can see her againnnnn

hahahaokay im back continuing this reflection post about my life HAHA sounds wrong, but suddenly my mood just increased by 100 points level ahh coz im finally finallllyy going on a trip with my two other best friends!!!!!!!!! Flight tickets checked, hotel tickets checked YAYYYSSS They have been there since primary school days and i cant emphasize how important they mean to me. Its just this unspoken feeling we have for one another, we dont meet up or talk very very often (like those couples every minute every second must talk kind...HAHA) But when we start talking, i just know why we are best friends HAHA Those crazy moments in zhonghua, how we changed from young girls to slightly matured young adults talking about more of our feelings about the stuff we face in life (:

" Good friends will stick with you until you’re unstuck. –Pooh "

I'm thankful for them, I'm proud of their every single accomplishment they have achieved in their life <3>

"At the end of the day, its not about how much money u have or how successful u are, but its about those whom u love & those who love u"

Just so true, all I want is for my friends to be happy, my family to be happy and to be happy myself. As I grow old, I would definitely face the problems that all working adults would face, money, work politics etccc. Not all people that you work with would see eye to you, and i guess you just have to take it as a challenge to yourself to work with these people. Just be the person you want to be and take every opportunity, every challenge a learning experience. haha i'm a strong believer of learning through experience, one would never understand how it feels like to be in a position unless you experience it truly. Like how people can't understand how working in the F&B industry is tough, how you can make the workers job a little easier just by putting back your own trays after eating. Working in an F&B industry in the past made me realise such simple things, its quite saddening to see how F&B is not being recognised well, how those lowly-paid jobs usually end up with foreigners, or the pioneer generation taking up such jobs.

But i guess, this is part and parcel of life. I wonder how my life would changed 10 years down the road, 20 years down the road, haaha okay many many years down the road. But I'm quite contented with my life right now, having been through Year 1 of uni and uhm 19 years of my life HAHA yeapp okay my thoughts jumps here and there... and Year 1 sem 2 was much much better than sem 1, more experiences, it was more enjoyable despite having to juggle between asvf and studies. 80% of the time was spend on asvf, I apologise to myself for neglecting my studies haha but finals is over for now, I only can pray for the best. I tried my best studying as hard as i could alr, but last minute cramming doesnt really work out i feel.... consistency must still be there haha but still ASVF MADE MY SEM 2 COMPLETE
I joined RB knowing that they had the chance to go korea for this competition, heh "its korea omg" was my first reaction haha but never did i expect myself to be part of it within this short one year! It was unbelievable when i knew i was going korea, it started out in disbelief and then reality was just smacked right there. The process of coming out with an idea that actually made us feel close to our heart was not an easy task. The idea didnt want to seem forceful, but something that is a problem that we face in our everyday lives. Questioning myself about it, what problems i faced in life, i realised the power of technology was really too powerful. It seems i was trying to force out a problem and coming out with an idea, haha it just didnt feel right. But at last, after those brainstorming sessions (my brain juice was really drained :/) we came out with our proud idea Helpy!! The whole process of producing this virtual app was not a simple task at all. It was really really months of hardwork, change, refine, accepting the opinions of other entrepreneurs, late nights in school that we finally came out with the idea that we were all excited about. The process was tiring, but it was something that i really wanted to do well and leave no regrets about it. So fast fast forward so the actual day of the competition because as i write, i just cant help but to think of our win!! That surreal moment, that moment when they announced "Singapore Team 2", that moment when we stood up, that moment when we looked at each other in disbelief, that moment when we walked up on the stage in disbelief, that moment when the truth slowly sinked in, that moment when our hard work paid off, that moment when all the attention was on our group, cameras snapping here and there... that many moments that was so so surreal

We actually wonnnnn!!! our months of hardwork paid off, (like really!!! it really did!!!) haha but that moment of happiness and unbelievableness >< i was really so happy!! Our video that has been through so much refinement, refilming. Our interfaces that has been through so much changes too, the tiny weeny details that only we knew. Our presentation that has been through so much different styles. Our idea that has been through so much last minute changes. But we did it.

Asvf has taught me never to give up, miracles happen, perservance pays off, you just got to work hard for it.

"You can get it if you really want, but you must try, try and try, try and try. You’ll succeed at last. –Sebastian (Little Mermaid Series)"

So, asvf was over at last. It would be a memory that i'm proud of as a freshmen! So then camee R and R. hahaha i can just say that its was so fun. HAHA the joy of shopping along the streets of korea, eating, enjoying, if only my life can be like that everyday haha but it was really funnnn

And then it came the not so fun part, coming back to study for finals. Mehhh, post asvf syndrome was baddd, but looking back at all those pictures made me so happy((: I only need those happy memories to keep me going through the tough times,


“Everybody has problems. Everybody has bad times. Do we sacrifice all the good times because of them? –Phoebe (Enchanted)”

No we dont. But easier said than done, as i move into becoming an adult, problems will definitely surface, bad times will happen but hopefully I was still be reminded of happy times and pull through such moments.

So summer is finally here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Catching up with old friends and looking back about the past, those memories(: i glad that my friends are accomplished in their own way, they are happy with what they are doing. Meanwhile, haha i have to start thinking with what i wanna accomplish in my life... but honestly simple things make me happy. Everything simplistic, but okay it can never happen. Tough decisions to make, trying to keep afloat in this competitive world, personal decisions in life, and the many decisions i have to make next time.......
