Dear VINnylectics, it's been a long time ever since my blog was last updated. Being busy has been my usual schedule and I always believe it's good to be busy because it means you are living and that life is not stagnated. Been extremely busy having catch-up sessions with a few bunch of friends and also my dance crew productions.
However, health wasn't on my side as I am someone who is prone to be sick easily. Sickness has been a come and go thing ever since I was young. Just like yesterday and today, I am having fever just the day before my enlistment. Still anticipating a change in my immune system and I believe Elusyf would help me in it, just that I need to give it some time to manage and control my immune system. I always believe that my life had started changing ever since I met this particular person and I never had an ounce of regretness in me that I started picking up this product. Even though I don't see much immediate results now, I believe it would after some time.
Suddenly, I have a feeling that I am going into jail as I am enlisting tomorrow. A lot of my schedules would be affected because there are alot of restraints that I would bound to be experiencing. I am already missing my parents now, even though I am still at home. Homesickness is definitely something that would hit me real hard because I am a family-oriented person. There are alot of sacrifices I had made for my family and my family, too, had made alot more sacrifices for me. With that, I am deeply appreciative of their unconditional love that they had given me. These are what made me homesick and I would definitely miss home during this confinement period.
Come to think of it, a lot of my surroundings are luxurious items given to me. Some of them includes a comfortable bed and air-conditioner to sleep in at night, heater to bathe, umbrella and shades to shelter you regardless of rain or shine. Luxury doesn't need to be something branded or something to flaunt to other people. It is simply something given to you that you should be appreciative of.
It's quite emotional for me everytime I am leaving my family because they are people I have lived with for the past 21 years, even though I had thoughts of leaving house before. I felt really sorry for any wrong doings that I may have committed in the past and I would be someone who is even better than the past.
Signing off now, VINnylectics. Shall update my blog the next time I have time.
Hi to all my VINnylectics out there. Hope you guys are doing great. I had just closed another chapter of my story as we marched towards the 3rd month of 2016. Time really past by very quickly and here I am, waiting for graduation and then enlistment. Recalling the first day of orientation day, I still can remember vividly about the time where I poured dirty water on myself in order for the class to win. Since then, I have been remembered for that. Now that 3 years had past by so fast, I really can't believe that I am actually graduating soon. As I looked back, I must really thank my peers and lecturers who had helped me in one way or another, for without them, I wouldn't achieve my good grades that I had achieved today.
And now, I would want to share a story with you about a young boy who grew stronger in rough environments.
So there once lived a little boy who goes to school in fear day by day. He used to love school and looked forward to it, until there comes a day when he got bullied for no reason. He was only primary 1 that year and he,too, is clueless about why he became a prey of bullies. Even though he did not do anything wrong, people will still push him; step on his newly bought white shoes; pinched and beat him which left him with bruise marks to go home with; asked him for his homework to copy but yet people still claim that he copied theirs instead. There were once when he was nearly pushed down a 2 story flight of stairs. Had it not been a bag that saved him, he could have knocked his head against the metal railings and bled to death. He was too timid to report to the teacher back then, for the fear of another case of bullying could have occurred again. Things didn't stop there. When he was in the toilet, people locked him inside the cubicle and locked the door of the toilet entrance. They even switched off the lights and nobody helped him when he cried for help. This had made him traumatized and had since developed the fear of dark. A few years later, he moved up to Primary 6 and during recess times, he couldn't even sit with his classmates and eat together because apparently some of them claimed that such a long table would be filled up by other classmates and he is not supposed to sit with the class. Of course, he couldn't sit with other class too because he didn't have friends there and sitting at other classes' tables aren't allowed. He had to sometimes consume his food in the toilet, which is very ridiculous, due to crowded canteen and class table. He recalled there was once when he was having lunch alone, a group of his classmates came over and disturbed him. One of them even poured hot soup on his crouch area and then laughed at him. He also remembered that during Physical Education lessons, he wouldn't be allowed to participate as the class would claimed that the groups are fully formed and he can't join in. Even if he could join in when people are absent, some of the classmates would also purposely tripped him over or used some balls to purposely kicked him. He was apparently living his primary school life in misery.
He thought it was finally an escape route for him during secondary school era. It was not until when things were repeated again. People snatched his spectacles; kicked his chair when he was paying attention to the lesson; hide his pencil case and then later hide his bag(which was like what the hell??!!). He didn't have confidence to stand in front of his classmates to make presentations because he was afraid at being laughed at, which made him stuttered often and people would end up laughing at him.
It was not until when he had enough of crying and tired of all these bullying, that made him felt like standing up for himself and protect himself against all these nonsense.
And here he is, standing proudly today and looking back and thinking that if it wasn't for all these people who bullied him, he wouldn't be strong enough to stand until today. With that, I think I should thank all these people instead. And yes, that little boy is me!
School life was indeed very rough for me ever since I was young and I wouldn't have one day that I could study in peace. But I would now like to proudly say that I DID IT!!!
I am also grateful for my friends who helped me and speak up for me when I was helpless. I am truly grateful for all of your help.
Sometimes, when I am really tired and sad about things I will still miss my late grandfather, who had passed away 4 years ago. Even though it's been awhile since his passing, I would still miss him and would tear up a little after recalling what he had told me. I recalled him telling me not to be afraid when I encounter tough times, cause' things will be alright soon. He even told me that I made him proud with all my achievements. However, one of my regrets is that I didn't pursue my life as a dancer when he was still around. He would be glad to see me conquer all those glamorous stages and he would be sure to support me whenever he could. Even though he isn't physically around, but whenever I am having any competitions or performances, I would tell myself to put in my utmost effort, so that he could watch it where ever he is.
Hope to be back with more excitements! Until then, annyeong!
Hi VINnylectics, it's been quite a while since I last updated this blog. Sorry for having a dead blog but I will try my best to continue this blog. So, 6 months quickly blinked by and it's now September already. I had also ended my internship and finally regained my life as a student.
I remembered being really excited about internship that I nearly had insomnia. I anticipated a lot of things. I thought to myself and worried if my colleagues would like me or not. I also worried if I could get used to working in an office environment. Actually, I had always wanted to work in offices as I had always wanted my very own workdesk.
However, expectation vs reality is very different. I do not have my own workdesk. I was used as a cheap labour and was being ordered around by different people. I told myself that I should bear with all these if I want to maintain good rapport with my colleagues.
Other than that, since I am working in an international company with 90% of caucasians, I expect the office environment to be very friendly and everyone can put up warm smiles when I greet them. The truth turns out to be very unexpected. People looked away or gave me a silent response when I greet them. Politics everywhere in the company was also present. The boss don't like interns, but expect interns to put up a good show in front of everyone. Caucasians were also very fussy when it comes to decision making.
All these made me realise a lot. Being a working adult, you need to sacrifice a whole lot of your time. Let's take a normal day as an example. A working adult wakes up for work and prepares for work. He reaches office at 9am and works to 6pm. He then went home for dinner. Let's say take a break, bath and watch some tv programs. After that, he goes to sleep. This daily routine repeats for 5 days a week.
So, after all these, I still realise that I want to be a student as our timetable are more flexible. Sometimes we can be a lil bit rebellious to ourselves by taking a short nap during lessons :P. But while working, you can't do that because your work performance might be at stake. After lessons, we still can go out for shopping sessions with friends and even catch up during meals. That's why I feel very confined during the 6 months of internship. I am not someone who likes to wander around and party all night long. But at the minimum, at least let me have some break and not feel like a jail server who counts down to how many days until he can finally be free.
Now that I have finally finish with my internship, I can finally treat myself to longer hours of sleep each day. I also can continue my daily mission with my personal schedules such as my religious activities and also outings with family and friends. I am also preparing for my year end dance concert held at Hwa Chong Institution. That's when I can finally showcase my very own choreographed hip-hop dance.
On top of that, the one that excites me the most is my upcoming debut activities with my kpop crew members. I had always wanted to find a dance crew that can sing and dance and looks like I finally found one that was actually in front of me all along. One year ago, I actually brushed through this group of people in my school. One year later, 2 of the members(who are my friends) approached me to join them in their activities. I am glad I am now able to join them in their activities together.
So everyone, please keep a lookout for CUBIX!! We are now preparing for our future stages and I will debut with them as CUBIX's Jae!
Really hope to be able to bring more excitement for everyone out there. And with that, I shall end my post up till here. I shall be back with more updates soon! Annyeong!
Dear Diary, it's me again!
How are all my VINnylectics doing? Hope you are all fine? It's been a busy life for me, as usual. I really don't know when I can slow down my pace and take a nice deep breathe. Had a good talk with one of my VINnylectic supporter and you know who you are, Mr XiangWeiRouGan! HAHA. Though it's just a short dinner, I really had a nice talk with you, and having to learn more about you. Hope you knew more about me too.
Just like I had mentioned before, I barely could find anyone who would give me their time. I guess everyone's really busy with their own affairs and can't be bothered with mine. So for people out there who had given me your time, I honestly appreciate it! A big thank you to all of y'all.
Life's really something that could bring about ups and downs, and sad to say, mine should be the one that contains more downsides than the upsides. Pardon me if my English is really that bad, because my English standard isn't as high as what people expect it to be.
That is also why some people can't take it that I am a top scorer. They always tend to say things to me and they are like, "WOW! YOUR ENGLISH LIKE THAT ALSO CAN BE TOP SCORER ARH?!"
People tend to look at things on the surface and tend to neglect the behind-the-scenes part of the story. Right now, my GPA is standing at a cumulative sum of 3.93. I am not trying to show off anything but I just want to get it clear to everyone, that I did worked hard for my stuff and I did not cheat my way through! I don't get it why some people can just be so ignorant to this fact. It's not like I am some smarty pants or anything and I believe that everyone can do it. You just have to simply ask yourself whether you want it or not, and whether you want to sacrifice your time for other things just to settle yourself down and study or not.
I really can't hold it any longer and I might just collapse anytime. I am actually not someone who is strong enough to take all these. Although I am usually cheerful, it does not mean that I am a stress-free person. Many people once told me that they want to be me, but I only told them one thing.. "Are you sure you want to be me? You are not me, so you don't know what I had been through, just by looking at me on the surface."
Since young, I barely have friends and those friends that I had were usually the same few. I was actually being boycotted by the whole class in primary school. So I had been trying to get used to living and relying on myself. I don't like to be a burden to anyone or let anyone feel burden because of me. I don't know if there's someone out there who felt this way. But if I ever made you felt so burdened because of me, I am truly sorry.
This is also why I always like to ask people, "Are you fine? Hope I am not that boring for you to listen to...". I just need reassurance and acceptance from people.
I just want my readers to further understand me and hope you guys out there can just bear with me. This is also one of my only platforms that I could say everything out.
I wonder if anyone of y'all ever get curious about me. But if you are, here's something. I am a dancer and likes to dance. Honestly, I wanted to join modern dance when I was in secondary school. However, due to the fear of being a laughing stock out there, I was reluctant to join. In the end, I did not join any dance CCAs back in secondary school. I also wanted to join choir, but because of the same reason, I gave up this thought. However, I became a dance member when I enter poly because I have come to my senses that I should just ignore all those staring eyes out there and just do what I enjoy. And here I am today, proudly standing as a dancer. I major in latin dance right now, but life wasn't exactly easy for me because I got judged a lot. A lot of people were like, "THIS KIND OF STANDARD ALSO CAN DANCE ARH?!"
Again, I tend to get a lot of negative remarks from people regarding me and I am really really really tired about it. I just need a break from all these. Apparently, I had to face all of these alone because people are just targeting me. Life had never been easy for me and I am always a prey for other hunters. I can't just say it to anyone because I might get betrayed and left hanging out there all alone in the end. So what's the point in the first place?
The ones that I wanted to have attention from,usually can't give it to me because to XXX, a crowd is always better than one person. Many a times, I like to have small group times because we can really open up more and really become who we are.
Normally, I tend to get really lame and people tend to find me irritating. But please don't be, because do you know that all I ever wanted to do was just to make you guys happy?
Apparently, no one appreciates and thought of it this way I guess.
So let me ask you guys again. After all these, do you think you guys still want to be me? Not really, I guess.....
Here's a lil secret: I had actually cried through close doors many times and always smiled the next day to act like nothing happened because I don't want anybody to worry. But shhhhh......... don't say it out, cause nobody cares.
It's alright, cause I will be brave.
Bye! :)
Hello to my fellow VINnylectics once again. Sorry for the disappearance act and that I couldn't update my blog. My schedules are very packed and I have had no time to update. Will keep updating this blog whenever I have the time.
Pardon me for bidding goodbye to 2014 after a long time. So, it's finally 2015. In this year, I welcome different challenges in my life and I promised to challenge them with all my might. I will step out of my comfort zone even further. Recalling back to 2014, I realised that I have completed quite a number of things and have grown further as a person. I am sorry that I am not someone who is very interesting and that if I ever came across to you as a person who is being very irritating, I'm truly sorry.
Life is full of ups and downs and this is surely inevitable. When you try to shy away from something, it will still appear no matter what. I don't know why I am typing all this right now but I really want to express myself.
Also, in 2014, I have realised that I am always living my life in accordance to how other people want me to. Everyone is so busy following social norms and that they no longer live their own creative life. I made a promise to myself that I should live my own life and stay true to myself. I want to create my own Fairytale that would only be directed by me and I am the author of this book titled "Alvin's Life Encounters"! Everyone is actually unique in their own way and we should not forget this little note to ourselves, which is to "live life without regrets".
Speaking about 2015, I have my bucket list that I want to achieve. Firstly, I want to grow further more as an individual and I want to contribute to the society in every way I could. I am currently a dance participant for the upcoming SEA Games 2015 which is occurring on the 5th of June. I am also planning to join my own religious dance group, famously known as SYDC. It specialises in hip-hop dances and I am ready to go for their audition. A lot of people who know me well should know about my packed schedules. So why am I still keeping myself so busy? Well, I believe that as youths, we should go all out and contribute in a lot of different areas. Time passes at an instant and it cannot be chased back anymore. I want to leave behind a remarkable history for myself as a youth and when I still could actively wander around.
Sometimes I will be very tired and I would wonder why are humans always so busy in life? It took me awhile to realise that it is actually a blessing to be able to be kept busy. This means that we are still healthy and would still be able to handle the stress we are constantly having. I would complain about being busy and that I would have no space to breath. But after awhile, I will pick myself up and stand up on my feet again.
I am trying very hard to change myself and I believe I would be able to do so! Please give me more time and patience. I really want to change myself for the better and I don't want to get affected by those that don't matter. There's a saying that goes " Those that matter don't mind, and those that mind don't matter".
Let's all strive to have a better tomorrow and have a better 2015 ahead. Cheers!
Hello VINnylectics! Hope you all are doing fine. It has really been hectic for me.
Recently, I had been having a lot of weird dreams. I don't know why either. Had cried in a few rounds of dreams recently and I thought I only cried in my dreams. To my surprise, the moment I am awake and I open my eyes, tears can't stop rolling down my cheeks. I really don't know what does all these signifies. But I could really remember what I dreamt about. My dreams were all about people bullying me and not having trust in me. All these do happen to me in real life though. So when I was dreaming, I can't differentiate whether it is a dream or whether it is a real experience. It was definitely horrifying. Perhaps all these are linked to stress? I am honestly not sure.
To be honest, I am someone who can't handle stress well and whenever my stress level gets too overwhelming, I can't breath properly and would have short breaths. I really wish I could have a break from everything. JUST GIVE ME A BREAK!!!
I guess I know why I like going to the beach. Because I am living in a very noisy world, I probably need somewhere peaceful and quiet. That's why I love the peace and the vibrant feeling I received from the beach. All you could hear is the sound of the tides and nothing else. All you could see is a piece of clear blue sky, and an unreachable horizon. You never know where it begins and where it ends. Sometimes all I need is not about the material wealth in which happiness can't be bought. Yes, it's true that wealth can buy luxurious items that can eventually lead to happiness. But honestly, how long can this happiness last? Perhaps not very long, because human are greedy by nature and want more after more. To be honest, all I ever need is not just money but true happiness. It's true that money is important, but happiness is more important. When one is left with a few years of his/her life, happiness actually matters more than the wealth he/she possesses. I want to be a person who leads genuine happiness and not someone who buys happiness because of money. This is not what true happiness should be defined.
So after all, I am still looking for what actually defines my true happiness. People can say I am happy because I am smiling everyday. But for all you may know, I might be faking a smile just for the sake of appearance. Deep inside me, I am still not satisfied enough to say I am genuinely happy because all I could ever feel is loneliness and emptiness, and these feelings are overwhelming my life.
Yes, I find myself busy but I have yet to find my real definition to define where life has to bring me. I am trying very hard to treasure every moment spent with people around me, especially my loved ones because who knows what might happen to us the next very minute. Anything can happen and I am still not prepared yet. I have yet to try out a taste of everything that life is bringing me and I have yet to find my genuine definition of happiness.
In the meantime, I really can't wait for my mini getaway this coming December, for I am really running low of battery and need a quick recharge.
Besides all these, I am really shocked that my grandma hugged me after I was about to take my leave after visiting her at her house. I actually wanted to hug her first but I was shy to do so. After her hug, I suddenly realised that it has been a while since I last saw her. I am really sorry for her because I failed to do my part as a grandson. All that she ever need was for people to shower some care and love and I can't even do so from time to time. I know she is happy to see me but I really felt very sorry to have neglected her. Despite my busy schedule, I should really set aside time for myself and my family members because they are my deeply loved ones. We all should actually do the same too.
Let's not be deeply focused on oneself and neglect the care and love that our loved ones really need. Shall we? YES, WE SHALL! CYA!
So people, I am back with another post. And this time I would introduce my new readers name and that is VINnylectics. This name shall represent all my readers, but how did I derived this name? The first 3 letters is actually my name and that is Alvin. The following few words is taken from the word vinyl, which is actually a material with strong characteristics. Quoted from the internet, it says that Vinyl (polyvinyl chloride or PVC), is the world's most versatile plastic, used to make everything from food wrap to auto body parts. Vinyl is composed of two simple building blocks: chlorine, based on common salt, and ethylene, from crude oil. The last few letters is actually inspired by words such as fantastic and supersonic, which gives a very strong feeling. Hence, the word VINnylectics actually mean that Alvin's readers are versatile and strong. So I hope everyone out there live their lives strongly and in great satisfaction with whatever you do in the future.
So moving on, the reason why I titled my post this way, is due to my last week's performance. I performed flashmob in school for three times and I totally enjoyed it. Dancing is my passion and I would groove along whenever there's music. I wanted to post a clear video from my phone, but sadly, I can't. However, there are YouTube videos available, posted by the in-charge.
When the video zooms in at the 0:22 mark, you can clearly see my back view with em' blue hair. You can clearly see me on the dance floor, when the video zooms in to me on the 1:15 & 2:06 mark. And lastly, my blue hair is clearly shown at 2:30. Grateful that there's a video available.
In this video, I am in full black. Y'all should be able to spot me when you guys view the video straight in the centre. My red cap will be revealed when the video hits 0:14. In case you guys are wondering, I am doing a body wave on the 0:47. That's pretty obvious that I dropped my cap at 2:04, and I didn't want to pick it up due to being professional when the dance is still in process. Me and my friend surely came up with the idea last minute at 2:08, when we were trying to show our body waves ;p And lastly, my very much close-up shot appears at 2:50. HAHA! However, I know I surely need improvements.
So why did I exactly titled my post this way. Besides being exposed to different types of performances in my various commitments, I found a new definition to school life. School is definitely not just about studies when you enter poly life. It's about how you enjoy your life and juggle your studies at the same time. Such performance standards surely doesn't come overnight. Long hours and months of practice are needed. We practised this for one and a half months. From a dancer viewpoint, dance practices are regularly needed to maintain your standard, unless you are busy. So there are some days where I needed to skip classes as the rehearsal timings clashes with my classes. In the past, I would be like die liao! Skip one minute of lesson=entire life gone. HAHA. However, I kind of find a new meaning to school life when I have to juggle both trainings and lessons at the same time. I would love to have such experiences again. HAHA.
Alright! From here onwards, I would like to share a song and I would appreciate if you play this song while you continue to read on my post.
After you played the above mentioned song, I would like to share with you guys another side of myself which I barely share with anyone. But in order for my readers to understand more about the person they are reading about, I would take this chance to share with you guys. Please do bear with me.
Firstly, I would like to say that if I gave you guys the impression that my life is a cheerful and stress-less one, then I am afraid that you had not seen the other side of me. Though I often perceive myself as a cheerful guy to others, I actually have a lot of stress deep within me and I wouldn't know how to deal with it. I wouldn't actually find someone to talk to, because I might just be treated as another laughing stock. And when people treats my seriousness as a joke, I will get really pissed off. I really want to get the person's time and attention when he/she is listening to me. But I think in this world, right now, everybody is moving way too fast and I can't seem to slow people down just to take a listen to what I have to say. Even if I do get people's attention, they can only listen to me for a short while, because after a while, I may just become another piece of nuisance to them. These days, I hardly find someone who is willing to listen to me for a very long time, because ain't nobody got time for that! But honestly, I have a lot of things to rant about and I would definitely feel better after that.
Sometimes I might even find myself bothering you guys, and I am really sorry about that. But when I am in a really bad mood, all that I can ever do is to suck it up all by myself. There are only a few people who I really can find time and talk to, and I am really grateful for being there for me. However, I can't possibly find you guys whenever I encounter an issue. I am trying to learn how to handle everything all on my own, so please do give me time. But when I can't handle things properly, I would feel useless and stupid. Sometimes, I really wish to slow down and take a nice deep breathe but I just can't seemed to do that, because in order to follow the crowd, I have got to move on.
At times, I would really feel very breathless and I think that's when I needed a break. A short one would be good too. This is why sometimes I always rant about wanting to go on a short getaway, because I think all these does help. Even if a getaway is not possible, I really want to leave everything aside, and at least visit the beach. That's the least that I want. As I have reiterate many times, I really enjoy going to the beach because it gives me a very warm feeling. However, people this days find that going to the beach would make them more tan. So I guess I couldn't possibly go there alone.
To be honest, I am really afraid of being alone because I have been there, done that. Past experiences made me dreaded loneliness, and I can say nobody want this feeling. Weirdly, sometimes I would prefer being alone, as only I know myself best. For the last half year, I have slowly learnt to accept loneliness as part and parcel of life. Been to karaoke lounge alone, shopping alone, eating alone and etc...
Given a chance, I wouldn't do this, but I have had no choice. I am actually an introvert if you guys didn't know. I am sure many people would laugh out really loud at this part because my actions speak the other way round. That's because I have already accustomed myself to you guys. But honestly, if you were to throw me in a party, I would just be alone and grab a drink. Unless there's someone I can rely on, then I would start to open up. This is definitely not a healthy lifestyle and I know it. But I am afraid of meeting new friends, who might eventually backstab me after I get close up to them. I wouldn't say all these if I didn't have any experiences like this. This is why I am really careful with friends that I made, and I would get very close up once I am extremely comfortable.
If the song has ended at this moment, please play the next song and continue reading ;p
After all these, I would like to say that the only asset that I possess is my family. They are extremely priceless and precious that no one shall take them away from me. So, many would ask me why I didn't mentioned all these to my family. Just for a simple word known as "burden", would answer my question. I didn't want my family members to feel burden because of me and I would rather suck it up myself. In contrary, I would help them take up their problems as well, as I understand the helpless feeling when no one was there for me, and I didn't want them to feel this way. I wanted to make them feel that if no one is there for them, I will! So at least there's me to share their problems with.
One more thing to take note is that sometimes I would tell my poly friends that I might just faint anytime and be ready to catch me when I fall. I am really not joking as I had encountered cases like this. Luckily I am sitting down and it made me felt better after that, if not you guys might become suspects already.
Alright! Hoped you guys survived after reading a long piece of "essay". Sorry if the music taste is not to your likings. But at least now you guys should roughly know what kind of music I really like. I like K-pop ballads just for your additional information. But I really appreciate your time and effort for reading it, and hope that you guys have understand me more. Till the next time I update this blog. Cya, VINnylectics!
Simple things like this make me happy and I call it a blessing, for every blessing counts, no matter how small or big it is.
My kind of simple happiness is also to be able to catch sunrise and sunset with my loved ones. Best is to sit under the sky and watch the moon and the stars, and if possible, we can do nothing but just talk our hearts out and chat all the way till the next morning to catch the sunrise.
I would normally tend to anticipate this kind of simple happiness. Like for example, if I planned to visit this particular bubble tea shop in the evening, then I would be happy for the whole afternoon just because of that one cup of bubble tea. Sounds funny? But I really appreciate those little things that others do for me. Ask a few of my close secondary school friends and they will know that I thank them a lot of times even when they just done something small for me.
Well, I guess that's all from me today. I may have a part two of this post coming up, if time permits. Cya!:)
Today's post is solely just related to changes in the K-Pop industry. So, people who are not interested in K-Pop, you are excused for this post. But if you are interested to read on, please feel free.
Today, I received a shocking news from the media saying that Jessica is leaving SNSD. I am really taken aback by this. And, I really don't know whose perspective to believe in. The two statements given by Jessica and SM Entertainment really contradict each other. So, it's hard to make a stand. According to SM, they say Jessica personally requested a halt in her promotions with the group after another one more album. On the other hand, Jessica said that she was informed out of nowhere, that she was no longer a member of the group. I mean how is it possible for her to request a halt in her activities when she just renewed her contract with SM not long ago. If she were to do that, wasn't it an immediate breach of contract?
For me, I would actually believe the party that made sense. In this case, I would take Jessica's stand. Being with the group for 7 years really made her forge true friendships with her members, so I really believe that she won't bear to drop out of the group. Being in an idol group for 7 years is really not easy, considering that they have to practise every day, made it harder for them. So, I strongly don't believe that she would do such a thing. And if she really want to drop out of the group, she wouldn't have renewed her contract in the first place. This is like THERE'S A HOLE IN FRONT AND YOU KNOW THAT THERE'S A HOLE IN FRONT AND YOU WANT TO JUMP INTO IT. I am disappointed because I am an ultimate fan of SNSD. I watched them grew in popularity, right from the point when they started off as zero.
I am an absolute supporter of the quote," Jigeum meun, SoNyeoShiDae. Appeurado, SoNyeoShiDae. Yongwonhi, SoNyeoShiDae." This means," Right now, It's SoNyeoShiDae. In the future, It's SoNyeoShiDae. Forever, It's SoNyeoShiDae. "
Being a true Sone, I really would support Jessica's decision. If her decision was to leave the group to fulfil her dream of being a designer, she would have my support. Because it's her life after all, and she have to live it. But if she wishes to continue as a member of SNSD but was forced to leave, then all the more I would stand on her side to wish SM to bring her position back.
I know there's no point crying over spilled milk, but I really hope the rest of the 8 members would breach the contract altogether and then all 9 of them move on to a new company to start fresh as SNSD again.
I suddenly have a thought. This year marks the last year of their 7-year contract and today is the last day of September which is a 9. Could it signifies that this year is the last year where SNSD is a full 9-membered team? Haha please excuse my randomness.
Ending here though~
I will still support SNSD no matter what.
From a sincere Sone~~~
This is their latest song: Divine, which is in Japanese. This is probably their last song together, as a 9-membered group. There might not be Jessica's voice anymore in their future albums. Kinda sad about this though~
This week is rather hectic, but fun, for me. I should just say every week is hectic for me. HAHA! Anyways, I had always been interested in hip-hop and finally I get to pick up some hip-hop skills due to a particular school event that is coming up next month! So SP-ians, be aware of some interesting events coming up in October. I am not suppose to say what it is about, but I am already giving hints, like a mysterious verbal teaser already.
I must say that hip-hop is really fun. Though it is tiring, you would realised that all the hard work are worth it when the audience are amazed by it. So really do look forward to it!
Speaking about hard work, I am really relieved that my hard work had paid off in the area of studies. I am a person who would prioritise my workload and rank the more important ones first. For the whole of 3 weeks, I really focus on study and followed by other stuff if my revision is done. Trust me, it's really very brain-wrecking and takes up a lot of brain space, but you have no choice but to put your heart in it if you want to score well.
I am actually not aware that the results would be released so soon. I just happened to check my e-mails and there is a notification saying that the results are out already. But just before I open it up and check, I actually told myself that no matter how my results were, as long as I tried my very best, I shouldn't have any regrets. The moment I opened it up, I immediately broke down and cried. I suddenly have the kind of feeling that tells me that my sacrifices are actually worth it, and that no matter how much things that had happened during that period, I could still prove myself to be worth the hard work. I cried for like 5-10 minutes because I just couldn't stop crying. :P
I have a friend that asked me," Why is it that you could score so well even when you have so many commitments to attend to, and when you are so busy every week?". With that, I replied with," The key is to prioritise your activities. When you set the determination that you want to do well, all the other distractions should be left out."
Leaving those matters aside, I went to help out at the regular welfare service today. The SP Welfare Club actually visits the elder care centre every Wednesday, except for exam period. People may wonder why I am actually joining so many events when I already have enough commitments to attend to. Well, CCA points aside, I would like to say we should actually help out the society with all that we could. Besides that, spending time with elderlies isn't that boring like what most people would say. Yes, I agree that we will have age gaps and that sometimes we can't understand what they want. But if you would take time and sit down with them to understand what they are going through, you would know why they will react the way they are. Right now, the culture of speaking dialects are rarely seen. Most kids are equipped with English speaking skills and the traditional dialect languages might disappear in the future. Wouldn't life be very dull if people only can speak one or two languages? Since I could speak a few dialect languages, I try to help out the welfare members by communicating with the elderlies with mostly hokkien. I just thought that if nobody speaks to the dialect-speaking elderlies, they would be very left out. I understand the feeling of being left out so I would want to include this bunch of people into the society as well. Maybe because I took care of my late grandfather before, I realised that I could actually empathise them and make effort to help them as well.
Today, I really see a lot of bright smiles illuminating from these elderlies' faces and I really felt that I am very happy today because I can feel that they really enjoyed themselves. If I could enlighten people with just a few hours of my time, I really don't mind because who knows, all these small little efforts might just change a person's life. I am really touched that after communicating with one aunty, she really remembers my words and repeats to me every week I see her around at the elder care centre.
So this is how brightly they smiled! Good nights! :)
It's been quite awhile since I last updated. Really grateful for people who actually spend time to continue following my written pieces. Though it may be boring, but I really thank these people for bearing with me. So thank you to whoever out there, who had been constantly reading my blog and asking why I haven't been posting lately.
Recently, a few challenges had been handed over to me, all at once. Challenges occurs at very weird situations. When you are free, you would be super free. But when you are already very busy, you would have more and more commitments to attend to. However, I would try not to shy away from them and would accept them readily. The only moments that I would reject it, is when I know that my body can't take it anymore. Perhaps, that is why I am falling sick lately.
Just a question I asked myself. How long will your youth last? Once it's gone, it's gone for good and won't be back anymore. We need to cherish our youth period and achieve the most out of the whole period. We need to do this because we do not know what our tomorrow will be. Every one more day that we lived, is another day earned, because this is a gift given to you. So appreciate every brand new day that you wake up to, with a fresh piece of mind, knowing that your loved ones are fine.
Recently, I am growing fonder of going for short getaways, regardless of how long it will take. It is those tourism advertisements that caught my attention. Perhaps I am really busy and tired and hope to go for a short break. But I noticed that when I am busy, I wouldn't overthink too much of things that are actually unnecessary. When I am free, I would get very lonely and bored and I am not that type of person who would go crazy on computer games. I need a fresh life, not a life that revolves only around school and games.
If you ask me where is the place that I would want to visit the most, I would say it's definitely Maldives. I am definitely going there some time. Maybe in the future? I don't know, but I made a promise to myself that I want to go there and I would! I am the type of person who would made my wishes come true. I am loving there because I really love going to the beach. I love the sound of splashing tides and waves but I am really afraid of swimming pools because I was nearly drown to death when I was young. Very ironic, right? But I love the clear sea of Maldives, which I believed, would give me a clear mind when I am there.
Isn't all these beautiful? The life there should be very peaceful and stressless. AHH~~~~ How beautiful would it be, to at least visit this place for at least once in your lifetime. I am definitely saving up for this trip, not only for myself, but also for my parents, for I am really grateful for all those sacrifices they had made for me.
Also, I had received comments with regards to my recent instagram post. I definitely do not feel ashamed over guys doing housework. It's definitely nothing to be ashamed of! I am doing all these small little efforts because I want to lessen my parent's burden. I know I am busy but seriously, how long will mopping the floor take you? I completed within less than half an hour. If I complaining just because mopping the floor is very tough and tedious for me, then what about my mum who had been doing housework for the whole of her entire life? Shouldn't we, as children of our parents, spare a thought for them as well?
Lastly, I finally took on a hip-hop performance challenge offered by my religion, Singapore Soka Association! There is actually an upcoming performance known as the Youth Friendship for Peace(YFP),where our youth segment will perform hip-hop. Youthful is all about showing what you have got and developed through your life so far. So even though I am busy, I really wanted to challenge myself and grow from there even more. That's why I participated in this event. I am also asked if I am interested in doing the special segment. Guess what? It's contemporary dance! Haha. A lot of my comrades encouraged me to take it up cause' the main reason is that I am already a dancer right now. So I decided to further challenge myself aside from the new event that I had participated. But well, I guess my holiday is even more packed with activities aside from my already packed schedule!
Till the next time~~ Tada!
Simplicity have always been what I had been looking for. I want to live a life peacefully. Simplicity can be as simple as strolling along the park and enjoy the sea breeze flowing through your soul, bringing all your troubles away. Simplicity can also be as simple as having a picnic along the beach, with the sunny Mr. Sunshine greeting you. When the night comes, you can do nothing but just sit quietly on the beach, hearing the splashing sound of the waves and enjoying the view of the quiet sky filled with stars and the moon. If you have the energy, you may just stay through the night and wait till sunrise. How beautiful can that be?
However, stress from this globalised world can be very breath-taking. Sometimes, I just wished I could leave everything aside and go for a short vacation-a short yet fulfilling one. One that would allow myself to leave off my stress, cause' I just felt that everything is moving too fast. It's just like yesterday that 2013 had just past and we were all anticipating 2014. Look at now! It's already August of 2014! 8 months had just past by at the blink of an eye! How scary can that be.
Speaking about August, it is my beloved Papa's birthday! He is 53 years old this year. How time flies~~
It just feels like it was yesterday that he just became a father. But look at now, his kids had turned into young adults. Sometimes, I would felt blessed to have such great family members. I had totally no regrets to had been born into this loving family. Though sometimes we would quarrel, I believed that we love each other deeply. We went to have dinner at Long Beach Restaurant at Kallang area. After that, we went to stroll along Kallang and we went to Sports Hub. Strolling along anywhere with them just made me feel very secured.
But, I still kept the secret from my dad. He still doesn't know that I had bought him a cake. It was when we reached home that I disclosed it to him. He was shocked that I would actually buy him a cake.
Though it feels like a kid, I told him it's alright cause' as long as you liked it, anything is worth the buy. I knew he liked to watch soccer, so I decided to break the childish trend and buy him this cute cake.
I took some couple shots for my parents and it looks like this:
The first is normal shot. But as for the second one, I told my parents to kiss. :P HAHA!! And my father's reaction was like MEH! So old already still kiss for what. That's when I told him that even though they are old, they still need to show the love for each other and that's how love should be managed.
So here is a family photos of us:
While singing the birthday song, I felt something was amiss. His facial expression changed. I knew he would tear. He was probably touched as I had never bought him a cake.
So apparently, he was cutting the cake while holding onto a piece of tissue. :P
We shouldn't have the thought that there is no need to dote on them anymore since they are so old already. It's because they are old already that we need to dote on them even more. Treasure them for everything they had done for you. All those selfless sacrifices they had made for your well-being should all be appreciated. It's not their job to feed you. It's all simply because of one word, and that is care. All they did is care. Hence, we need to treasure them.
And lastly, I would like to share this song with all my readers.
It is a K-Pop song. I really love K-Pop, especially songs that can describe emotions. The song is titled "Common Words". So common words to me could be words like "I love you", "I miss you"...... But do people really mean it when they say? Or do they say it out of randomness? Well, at least I would mean it if I say.....
What's better than meeting your loved ones, after a long and hectic day at school, right? Met my Mummy for dinner. XOXO... Since she doesn't have to work today, of course I would take this time out to bond with her. People may say that what's the need of having to bond with someone you had been living with everyday. Well, I would like to say that we can't take simple happiness for granted. Waking up to a brand new day, knowing that your loved ones are still healthy, makes the best out of your whole day and starts the day right. It's because we had been living with them and facing them everyday, that we need to appreciate what they had done for us. Though sometimes they do complain about frustrations, it's definitely normal. I mean who wouldn't complain when they are vex, right?
So brought her out for dinner after that. I told her to decide on the venue and I shall foot the bill. After walking around Bedok Mall, she decided to dine at Ramen Play. When dining with elderlies, we have to be careful of the things they intake. Food that are not suitable for their ages like that shouldn't be dine too often. Hence, I have to let her choose food that would suit herself, and of course I am perfectly fine with it.
After dining, we shopped around. Though I am a guy, I still have to admit that I love shopping. Regardless of window shopping or shopping with an aim, both works for me. She told me her shoe peeled off at the back, so I brought her around the mall to find her a pair of shoes. In the end, we bought both cause' she simply likes both :p
At first, I wanted to buy her those shoes. But she told me not to, cause' due to some superstitions. Here goes the conversation(Broken English):
Me: Mummy, you like arh? I buy for you lah!
Mummy: Cannot lah! Cannot buy shoe for people one lah!
Me: Nevermind lah! You are my mummy! You won't possibly run away one lah.
Mummy: Who says?
Me: Aiya! If you want run, you would have done it long ago.
HAHAHAHA. Totally can LOL!! She is damn cute, but sometimes she is really getting on my nerves. This is how family is supposed to be. There are bound to be disagreements and arguments. But at the end of the day, we know deeply inside our hearts, that we love each other VERY VERY MUCH!
After shopping for shoes, I brought her to some accessories shop cause' I told her I shopped alone the other time and found some suitable accessories that she may like it. She really does like it. Again, I offer to buy for her and told her not to look at the price cause' I really don't mind pampering her. Recalling in the past, our family financial status isn't that well-off. However, we still managed to pull it off till now. I remembered deeply those poor days that we had been through. It's really not easy for my parents. That is why I think I should reward and pamper them whenever I could. Last month, I bought her the Bio Essence 24K Gold Serum that can whiten her skin tone. Though it cost me $70, I really don't mind as long as she like it and that she is happy. I also bought my parents a blender that cost $100. Haha. Truthfully, it's not that I am rich cause' without them, there wouldn't be me. Trust me! We should all appreciate our parents. Do appreciate your siblings as well, cause' you always would have something to pick up from them, no matter how small it is. I dare to admit that I love my parents and my brother and future sis-in-law! OOPPPSSSSS!!!! *Blushes immediately*
After shopping for shoes, guess what we shopped for? Haha it's cosmetics! I don't mind entering a cosmetic shop with her cause' she needs me to be her magnifying glasses. Seeing how my mummy adores the cosmetics so much, I decided to sneakily approach the cashier. BUT SHE CAUGHT ME, AGAINNNNN!!! NOOOOOOO!!!! :( Nevermind, next time I shall buy for her when she is not with me!
So after that, me and mummy went to order cake for my dad. We actually customized it so that it will be special and not a can-be-bought-off-rack kind of cake. I ask mummy to choose the design and I pay for it, cause' she would know her husband the best. #teehee
Ended the day with extreme satisfaction, all thanks to ma' mummy! Yay! Till the next time! Ciaos.
Finally the day that I had been training hard for has arrived! It's D-day for Poly60! Went to school with extreme excitedness, didn't know why though..
However, things turned to a change when it suddenly rained at around 11am. I was definitely hoping that the rain would stop before our actual run commences. It did, however, stop at around 2.15PM. Luckily, with this, the race didn't have to be cancelled. For what I heard was that, once the race was cancelled, it wouldn't be postponed already.
So of course how could we let this situation happen when we trained so hard for it, right? So I began to worried that the rain might unfortunately return again.
So after waiting for quite awhile, the race finally kicked off! First round was to be completed by female runners. I had previously briefed my team members about the requirements, and kept on reminding them that the main motive of this run is to complete and not to compete. When the runners came back, a lot of them fell them cause' the floor was very slippery due to the rain that happened not long ago.
So of course, safety comes first for me! I slowed down when it comes to turning points. As this is the second year I am running, I had more experience than my team members, which is why I kept on reminding them about safety. Along the way, I saw my teachers, who in turn cheered me on when they stop for awhile to watch me run! I, too, saw my primary school friend who also cheered me on while I was running.
Sadly, halfway thru the run, it started pouring heavily again! Everybody was drenched deeply to skin and I wasn't an exception as well. I wanted to give up at first as I was afraid that I might hurt myself in one way or another. But however, I thought that I couldn't leave my teammates behind, and that's what spurred me on. So of course, I ran in the rain~~
Finally, with firm perseverance and encouragement, my team completed the 60 rounds. Thumbs up to everyone!
Throughout this run, I learned a lot of things from my teammates and also from other groups. Though we might not know each other from other teams, they would still encourage us to move on.
Basically, I went to train for Poly60 with my religious friends this weekend. Started training since 9.30AM. Poly60 is an annual relay running event organize by Singapore Polytechnic. Last year it's called Poly50 so each team of ten members have to run 50 rounds. This year, however, we are running 60 rounds because SP is 60 years old!
Last year, my team is originally ten members and each members were supposingly running 5 rounds. But because one of my team member couldn't make it, I ran 9 rounds as to substitute my absent team member. The rest of my members were so tired that they couldn't substitute for the absent one, so I ran on behalf of them. Though I was tired too as I ran equal number of rounds as them, but in order not to disqualified the whole team, I continue running with my tired limbs and body. It's after all perseverance we are speaking about when it comes to team spirit and relay events. Isn't it?
Being in the training committee for my religious group, we have to plan for what activities to include during the training sessions. Needless to say, warm up and cool down were part of the necessaries. Normally, I would lead the people in warm ups and cool downs. But yesterday, I led in doing the static training. Static training includes: 25 squats,15 burpees and flutter kicks for 20 counts of 4!
The main training includes the run for 20 seconds and slow jog for 40 seconds and we would do it for 8 minutes consecutively and 2 sets of it. It was already very draining cause' it was quite tiring, but having to lead the people for static training and doing at the same time is even more tough. I have to ensure people are still able to catch up with their breaths and at the same time do and count for them. That itself is a great breakthrough for me.
After that, we came out with a skit and I danced in front of them some basic steps of cha cha. Dancing in front of them was the first time and there were so many people. This further adds on to my achievements. No matter how small a step you have moved, you still advanced. And also I learn something from these people : doing the right thing though it seems abnormal. It's like the social norms in the world. If you think it's wrong but people are still doing it, you yourself shouldn't do cause' it's wrong. Not following the social norms is abnormal, but if it is right then you should believe in yourself. I always do pick up some learning points from this people, and I would continue to do so.
So today when I woke up, I couldn't get up and out of bed. I felt aches on my arms and legs, due to the intense exercises we did the previous day. I felt like a mummy when I was walking cause' I can't walk too fast if not my limbs would ache even more. However, this pain is a short term one. Sacrificing a short while for a long term benefit is definitely sacrifice worthy.
Love, to me, is a great feeling of having two lovebirds being closely together with each other. The kind of feeling when you are close(in terms of physical contact)to your loved ones makes it feel very warm and secured.
For me, I don't like to take love as a joking matter. When I say I like someone, I truly mean it. I don't hope people treat me as jokingly passing a random remark or anything else. Blame me for being sensitive, but Cancers are like that. Being born with this horoscope, I definitely hate myself for being overly-sensitive. But well, that means we care, don't we? Cancer is a very weird horoscope that is very sensitive to things around us. Cancers like to overthink and complicate matters, when it can be just as simple as ABC. Cancer care a lot for people they love and will go even the extra mile just to do things for them. I don't know about others, but for me, I would get very sticky to my loved ones. So sticky that I might be a nuisance to them, sometimes though.
I also don't often carry the words "I miss you" along with me. But if I do, I truly meant it! It's not being said out of boredom or what so ever.
If people were to ask me what I want in a relationship, I would say it's simplicity that I want. It's not the material wealth I am chasing after. It's not about the posh family background I am asking for. All I need is the one and only to be with me, stay with me whether I need you or not. I don't need expensive clothes or branded goods. All I ask for is just to go to the beach and watch the sunset and sunrise together. I extremely love beach and parks. Perhaps I am attracted to the greeneries around the vicinity and enjoying birds flying past you under the scorching sun, which makes everything even more perfect. Don't you think being able to enjoy a simple meal with your loved ones makes life more blissful? This is also why I don't like other people or stuff to occupy my time when I am spending quality time with my loved ones. But it always isn't this desired outcome, I don't know why....
Happiness is free of charge, but that doesn't mean it can be taken for granted. Once it's over, it's over! But I definitely want to enjoy the beautiful moments and appreciate them with my loved ones.
Material wealth, though important, still doesn't win over the presence of your loved ones and no wealthy people could buy happiness with money. It's the little thoughts that they complete that makes you happy.
Don't ask me why I am writing this topic today, cause' I myself don't even know why. But I just wish to express myself with my thoughts, cause' almost is never enough.
Today is a very ruining day for me. I was supposed to be happy cause' I would be collecting two awards: One is chairman award and the other is Director Honours Roll. Both of them are equally important to me but I just missed my chance to register.
Ok, so here's what happened.....
I received an email around 2 weeks ago to tell me that I was entitled for the 2 above mentioned awards. Of course, I was very happy since it's an achievement for me in Poly. The details only told us to register from 1PM onwards and the event would start at 3.15PM.
The thing is that I have library duties from 1-3PM today and I planned to leave early from duty to register for the event. So apparently, I was released early at 2.30PM. I quickly dashed to the toilet and changed over to formal wear and dashed over to the event counter to register. However, I was actually denied entry!!! The time is just 2.45PM when I had reached the counter. The person in-charge was still holding the registration name list but SHE ACTUALLY TOLD ME THAT THE COUNTER WAS CLOSED??!! At that moment, I was like please tell me this is a dream. I had never felt this way before.
Of course, I was so upset at this incident because they never state clearly what time the registration counter will be closed and what's worse was that the registration name list was still on her hand. If the table is cleared and she tell me: "Sorry, counter close already!", then I wouldn't be as mad. What's more is that me and my poor friend have to change quickly and dashed here straight after! After they told us that we cannot enter, we had no choice but to change back to normal clothes.
Luckily, they say we could still go to the office to collect our awards. But seriously, Singapore Polytechnic's systems are really screwed up sometimes.
Tired, tired and tired are just words that I can describe right now. Have been sleeping very little. Tried to sleep early but the moment I lie down on my bed, I start to think of a lot of things. Memories of my younger past starts to ooze in and make me realise that time really flies. How I wish I could enjoy my childhood all over again.
So, I went to my baby cousin's birthday celebration last Sunday. Seeing so many kids running around together makes me reminisce the past where playground games were like Ice and Water, Blind Mice, Catching and etc...
Seeing them smile so happily tells me that they indeed enjoyed their short but fun game. Then my 5 years old cousin came saying hi to me by saying, " Hello, Benjamin Kor Kor!" I am like LOL! I have a new name. Then he say, " Oh! Sorry! There's so many people, I am confused of who is who." Haha. This young lil' cutie pie. You're forgiven! :p
Moving on to the recent Saturday that had just past, I went back to school to have a full eye check by my optometrist friend who was completing the final year project. I also showed my interest in fitting contact lenses as I had never tried before. So after the whole test, it's time to fit the lenses! But, no matter how hard my friend tried, the lenses just won't fit into my eyes cause' my eyes are toooooooo smallll!!!! HAHA
That aside, today I went to Teo Heng to sing karaoke alone after school. ALONE??? YES, ALONE!!! Haha. At first, I don't want to sing so loudly. Though the entire room is mine, but I am afraid that I might disturb my neighbours if I sing too loudly. But, the more I sing, the more louder it gets cause' I got more and more feel already! ARGH! Independency brought me to do things alone without relying much on anyone.
Lastly, I would end my post with an impromptu poem that I thought of, and it goes like this:
Birds flying in the sky, but they might not want to be soaring high.
Humans staying on the ground, but it may seems safe and sound.
But as for me, happy happy is the key! TEEHEE!
Today I am finally able to find the time to update my blog after so long.
So I guess I am going to blog more about my birthday and yes, I had turned 19 years old this year. I don't find myself old at all cause' I believe that age is just a number and that no matter how old you are, as long as you are happy, you will be young at heart regardless of all ages.
My first birthday celebration was held on 30/6/2014. It was an advance birthday celebration for me. The cake was very nice. :p
Second birthday celebration was held on 1/7/2014 with my secondary school classmates a.k.a outing gang. This is my clique where I had became close to them since secondary 3, a bunch of people who would brave through the tides of GCE N and O Levels together.
Third birthday celebration was celebrated with loads of love on 6/7/2014 by my family. Went to Tony Romas@Suntec City to have our dinner.
Blow candle and make a wish~~
My pretty cake~~ Hehe!
Baby ribs(1st Picture), Fish Fillet(2nd Picture), Half Chicken(3rd Picture) and lastly, Onion Loaf :p
Spending time with my loved ones makes me very happy and very refreshed. Happened to browsed through my photo albums just now. Memories starts oozing into my mind and suddenly I felt very thankful for my family who had showed me unconditional love throughout my 19 years of life. <3
Fourth birthday celebration was a surprise given to me by my fellow classmates on 7/7/2014. Really love the nice cupcakes that were bought!
And lastly, the last and most impromptu celebration was given to me on 8/7/2014.
All in all, I had 5 birthday celebrations. I am really thankful for all the celebrations given to me and I appreciate all the birthday wishes and gifts a lot.
