It is not easy when you are suddenly placed on the other end of the spectrum. Nevertheless, the completely new and unique experience should prove useful in the future.

SMU SIS Interview
Yesterday was my first ever interview in a very long time. My last interview was held in school back during my secondary 2 days. It was for entering the integrated programme in the following year. I have successfully impressed my interviewers, I think, and managed to enrol into the programme. I remembered myself getting rather nervous, asking all the previous interviewees what were the procedures and what were the questions being asked. Fast forward back to this day I too was nervous days before the interview. I spent quite some time googling, hoping find some previous interviewees sharing their experience. I did manage to find a few but only 2 to 3 of them were elaborate enough to give me some idea of what to expect. Knowing how I felt before the interview and having just gone for it, I thought I might as well share my experience with the rest of the future nervous interviewees. Continue reading
Do Not Feed the Troll
It started from a simple honest reply. An internet troll first commented on one of my youtube videos, saying some things (which I had already explained) in a rather rude manner. In my defence, I replied with an explanation seasoned with a pinch of salt. And that my friends, awoken the beast within him, the Troll. Amazing how much time these trolls have, spending their whole day just to disturb others. I got disturbed, and I was not experienced enough to deal with such people. My level was obviously not high enough, so I continued fighting instead of backing off. Continue reading
Life is Full of Surprises
The very first time I reported sick to the army Medical Officer, I was referred to a hospital and was warded soon after the medical checks. Being so close to the end, it is quite disappointing to know that I may not be able to finish it completely. Hopefully this will be balanced out with a “good” vocation once I enter the next phase of army. Life please surprise me once more, this time in a good way.

Choices Make Our Story
“Our lives are a sum total of the choices we have made.†~Wayne Dyer
I’ve made a major choice this week. Where exactly will it lead me? That I do not know. I do, however, hope that the next few chapters will be a pleasant one.
I really hope so.

Not Dead and Still Alive
It has been a long long time since I last updated anything. For the past few weeks I’ve mainly been spending my time training, training and training and nothing else. Yes, I’m currently living the life of a Singaporean male youth undergoing the compulsory army life. Damn it is tiring and damn too that it is a total waste of my life. Continue reading
Oh Momentum How I Hate You
There is this saying that the energy and effort spent into starting to do something is more than that of continuing to do that something, whatever that something is. Its simply harder to start than to continue. Continue reading
