Adult.
Turning 21st this year, knock me hard into reality what am i going to do after i graduate? The price to pay for being a carefree, worry-less, happy kids is, facing all the stress, responsibilities and worries being an adult. Would you choose to have less freedom yet taken care and protected, or full of freedom yet have to be worry for every single thing around you? It's such an irony how when we are young, we wish to grow up fast. When we grew up, we wish to be a kid again. No doubt, i wish to be a kid, well taken care and protected. It's like having two-side in me, I dont wish to be an adult v.s I still have to face it because i'm old enough. Cause i know it gonna be a tough time ahead.
How your parents will actually fight for you when you are builled, how easy your monthly allowance comes, how you get grumpy over toys you want to have, how you get jealous over the care your parents gives to other siblings, how your meals, hair, clothes is prepare or tidy up as you grow up, you no longer find yourself being in those spot. You realized, how hard you have to fight for yourself even how tough times are. How hard money are earned when start taking up jobs, despite those dismay you have faced you still have to swallow it down your throat carrying with a smile on the face to pull through the day. Getting things you want yourself with the hard-earned money. Jealousy no longer exit because you understand, it's not cause they doesn't dote you as much as others. Things no longer come easy.
The transition we faced along, as we grew up, is a tremendous different. The thinking, impact, responsibilities. As much as i wish i'm still a 10years old kid, I have grown up. It is time for me to face the world and repay the gratitude towards my parents twice, thrice or even more. Never forgetting the fact that, while we are growing, they are aging.
I was lost of what to do being an adult. I realized, designer is not my strength, not what i will wish to be. Perfection does not exit, but i believe near perfection do, that's what a designer will actually require which i doesn't. Applied for something which i have more passion with, and got a surprise phone call today. :') Beyong words could contain the gratefulness i felt. At least, i was given that 50-50 chance. I always doubt myself for not being able to do it, and low confidence have always been my weakness, this time round, not anymore. Because i'm gonna fight hard for it.

Last week of holiday.
The last week of holiday just passed to swiftly.
One week.
Cracked my head for all the surprises and ideas just for this day, and it have finally come. It's @im_anass birthday! Got ourselves so amazed at the Singapore Science centre with some of the newly open section in science centre. Headed to some Korean BBQ with her friends, and ended up so stinky and sweaty. So, this stinky&sweaty us went to clark quay; Shuffle for a drink and chill. Haha. Always don't really fancy beer, however tried again that day, and realized .... i still dont like it, it's too bitter.
Was all excited to get into Zirca for partying ~ Yet to disappointment, the crowd was overflow, and the guys couldn't get in. Settled down at some random pub, and really hope the birthday girl enjoyed herself with all the leak and spoilt surprises. That's how that special 22nd, ended. With really lacked of sleep, headed to work the next day, pulling off that tiring day with only a hotdog bread and water. Talking about work, getting alittle tired over it though i only worked 3days per week. I can never imagine myself working full-time in future, i'm definitely going to have a hard time. Sigh.
Most looking forward days is being able to spent time with @im_anass, and also more gladful being about to meet with my girls! Had such a great catch-up with them though it was quite a short one. Afterall, i know they will be there for me, not excluding that sweet ass. <3
What's more happy than getting surprises? That sweet ass actually got me fancy delight tarts and chocolate which i have crave for, and picking me up from work. That feeling, is so awesome. :) Fyp ateliers is out, and really hope the choice i make at the end of it, will be a pro to me than con, cause i'm such a bad decision-maker.

Sometimes, leave a space for me on your mind.
Heartfelt.
My phone ring, and it's a text from SPEXAM, needless to force myself out of the bed, i'm awake by the result. It wasn't good nor bad. Started off the first work day, with a super slow speed train which result me being late for work but yet, really thankful i have a nice supervisor who guides me in everything, and not carrying any bossy attitude :) Probably it's a tuesday, thus lesser crowd, and what i did majority of the time is, seeing people walking by pass for 11hours. Leg was so sore at the end of my work, and add on with less than 4hours of sleep, seriously no joke. I'm so worn out. But, @im_anass appearance with an ice-cream, waiting for me outside my workplace really writes off all my tiredness. Thank you <3
You know, it always happened in show, whereby parents always neglect their child's feeling and thought, as long as they give them what they want, and fulfill their needs it's good enough for them. Yet on the other hand, it isn't what the child wanted, what they want was their time, attention, and just sparing a thought for them in special event, such as birthday. It's always human nature to think for themselves before others, and yet for some, they would think twice and realize, nope the person they should bother is the opposite party because they care.
This selfish side of me hits me hard today. Same idea of what happened in the show, but to different person. All i could think of is, getting what you want and not knowing what do you really need. It makes me ponder more when you asked that question. I neglected your feelings which i always think i'm always sparing a thought for you. But .... i didnt.

But yet think twice, who ever cares about mine?

Grateful.
Finally get to meet up with Sze Yun and Bestia after so long. The excitment to see them is overwhelmed. It's always good to have a heart-to-heart talk with someone you are really closed with, as if whom have a heart which beats as one as you. Bestia was having volleyball match in NTU, so we headed over to give her support and it ended up going in the drain cause we couldn't find the sport hall she is having her match at. Such a disappointment :( We spent such a long time finding the hall, and even asked around giving the wrong infomation which led to such an embarrassment. Haha. However, had a great time watching at other volleyball matches, almost got me a heart attack because of the excitment! Watching those volleyball matches bring back old memories during secondary, kind of miss playing vb. Though didn't manage to catch up alot with them, still i'm really glad to be able to see them!
Probably i should update this space more often so i could express myself better.
'Practice makes perfect', i hope it works for me. :D Result coming out in less than 10hours, and first day of work tomorrow, hope everything will be going smoothly.

Garden by the bay,
Spent the whole saturday at garden by the bay, tanning ourselves under the hot sun, looking out for pretty flowers& interesting places till the sky turned dark. Night of the city is amazing. Had a great time shopping the next day at town, been so long~ Had such a great weekend! <3
