So one fine day, a mass comm student from ngeeann came to my secondary school, (CHIJ Toa Payoh), to give a talk to the parents about what's so good being in mass comm. I tagged along to listen. My mom nudged me and say hey this is the course for you, sounds very interesting you won't be bored! I guess I listened and tried applying along with business in ngeeann. I got into both. With my results I could go to junior college, but my dad said no no go to poly it's good for you, if you don't do well for A levels, you eventually end up in polytechnic and wasting your time in college. Well I listened. Hey I'm an obedient child :) (Though my parents would not say so when I was around 15-17 :P) Well yeah, I was surprised I got through the written test and interview to get into the oh so exclusive mass comm. Haha. I'm being sarcastic. People think they're one of a kind in there. Just the mentality. I honestly don't like it. But well, I guess I'm the nerd of the oh so cool bunch :) As I'm always the odd one out in primary school, I am the odd one out here. So I guess I'm used to being different. Better not go on or else I'll start sobbing about my sad childhood haha.
Okay I realized at the beginning of this section I said I got nothing to write, and I ended up telling you my life story. Hope you don't mind. Guess if you're already reading till this section, you must be very interested in me or my life is absolutely intriguing. That's a good thing!
Anyway you realize there's a section on this website about a photo gallery. I took up photojournalism in ngeeann. And I tell you, it's the subject I enjoyed the most! this is the first subject that I actually pour my heart and soul and sweat into. I haven't got pictures scanned in at the moment from my poly days but I assure you they'll be up soon. And I'm really proud of what I do. I am not a technical photographer though. I love just taking pictures. Doesn't matter if it doesn't have a macro, telephoto lens, filters, what not. I particularly like abstract pictures. In QUT (Queensland University of Technology), I took up Fundamentals of Photography. I took some pretty neat pictures there too.
Another love of mine is cats!!! I love cats more than I do dogs, though I have 2 dogs (maxy and mini) in my Singapore home and a tabby cat (jobby). I'll try putting up pictures of the my animals soon. Why you may ask. Most people prefer dogs to cats. Cats are very selective creatures, they are nice to certain creatures. They like you if you're sincere. And I like how they sit or rather perch on chairs and how they snuggle up to you when you're in bed.
If my friends are reading this, pardon me for mentioning my cats or other things before mentioning you guys.. the spot light now goes to my very good friends - Shuli (since primary school), Rebecca (JC days) and Alvin (since sec school). And friends I also love to hang out with - Jayne, Sharifah and friends I made in Australia - Ailin and Tameiko. Unfortunately, I don't have many pictures with them at the moment. WIll elaborate more about them on the friend's page.
And I came from a family of four including myself. My brother, James, is 14 is currently in secondary 2. My mom and dad, aged 52. My mom's a senior staff nurse at Singapore General Hospital and my father owns his own business. I'm closest to my brother, always talking to him about things going on in his life. Though I saw him as a threat when I was 8, now I love him to bits. I was always praying to God for another sibling and it came through. That was the first time I really believe God existed. But ironically when he came along, I just hated him alot and didn't realize he took all the attention from my parents and it made me jealous. Being all mature now *ahem*, I understood why I reacted like that. I'll try to scan in some old pictures of my family and myself.
Also, I like to write poems when I'm sad. I currently only have two decent ones written, not that I'm seldom sad, but sometimes I write really horrible poems that doesn't rhyme and that sadness is not deep enough to come up with a sincere poem. So don't be disappointed if you find only two poems in the poetry section.
I'll keep updating this website as and when I got the mood. Think I have talked enough about myself. Thanks for the patience!
