Singapore, Awake.

Roads so empty, shopping malls closed, everywhere feels so detached. Everyone is either on the streets saying goodbye or at home watching his final farewell on tv. A historical moment indeed. There's softness in everyone's eyes that i have never seen on such an amazing scale. & i really got to say that this is evidently his last gift to us. He brought us together when he first founded Singapore, and brings us together again as he bids us an eternal farewell.

Dear Mr Lee, I may not know you well but i give my utmost gratitude to you for giving me the chance at freedom. Thank you for your dedication and great leadership that helped build Singapore from a 3rd world country to a metropolis, a place we now call home. Rest in peace Mr Lee. Your legacy will live on forever and you will always be the father of our nation in our hearts.

"When a man cried for a nation, he must have loved the nation.
When a nation cries for a man, he must have built the nation"

Wake up call for Singapore? I wonder...

Last Day of Work!

F R E E D O M .

It feels surreal that I've finally left my first '9 to 5' after 2 years of working full time. Suddenly reality starts to hit me and I feel kinda lost. On one hand, I am really excited to a new future but also feeling kinda apprehensive about losing the stable income that I've been getting.

Thinking back, I've come a long way from the person I was on first day of work and the person I am today. It's hard work (helluva stress, definitely) but I've learned heaps of things that I'll never have learn in school. Contracts, agreements, recruitment, accounting, work relations, marketing, project works, micro-managing and so much more... mannn, I'm truly grateful for this opportunity given to me.

Also, today marks a change of career direction for me, from 'Employed' to 'Self Employed'! Gonna attempt the role of a freelancer or another office role (whichever comes first) and at the same time try to pass with flying colours for my diploma & successfully advance to a degree in HR 

I don't know where I'm going, but I'm on my way.

ONE OK ROCK!

Time Check: 3:11 AM.

Oh-ho? I'm in love with Taka's vocals.

ONE OK ROCK's "Wherever You Are" on repeat.

Goodnight world :)

LAST OF TWENTY-FOURTEEN.

Wow. 2014 is coming to a close and it's almost 2015. 

Felt like only yesterday I was watching fireworks & counting down to 2014. 

I guess this year has been rather amazing, it's really been kind of a ride. Started on my HR course, made new friends, traveled to new places and ate yummy food, went to quite a few concerts and parties, & even found the cheapest places to shop at!

Looking back at 2014, I hope that the coming year 2015 will be better than the last. I want this coming year to have minimal conflicts, arguments & gossiping! Will definitely try to stay out of trouble and enjoy life to the fullest and be grateful with what i already have. 2015 will bring lots of changes for me as I'll completing my diploma in HR & Business Management and then I might be starting on  a degree for HR (but so bloody expensive!), gotta manage the change and restructuring in the office, and hope for a salary increment with my new certification (!?)

Resolution for 2015 !!

Celebrate Christmas / Countdown overseas

Double eye lids !!

Exercise !!

Graduate with A(s) !!
DON'T COMPLAIN ABOUT LIFE!!!!

Yearly reminder to self: Forget the bad & remember the good that happened in 2014. Life is like a roller coaster, it has it's ups and downs. But it's your choice to scream or enjoy the ride. 

Cheers for the new year - angelseah

First Semester Final Examinations D;

Studio Ghibi's Piano collection playing in the background, perfect lighting and air-con for studying... the little things in life that makes me feel blessed. I might not be rich and neither am i perfect but i want to live my life how i want it to be. & Although life can be tough sometimes, we gotta smile, stay strong, start being positive and happiness will come knocking on your door. 

Quote from a manga i'm currently reading:

"No matter how tough life might be, or how much it hurts, if you want to be happy, put a smile on your face...Otherwise, happiness will slip away. That's why we have to smile"

Live with no room for regrets, angelseah.

Today, I went to Founder's Bakuteh shop at Balestier for the first time & Chanel, Winson, Shu Kiat and I actually managed to clean up this massive amount of food! Recommended by Shu Kiat, it's supposed to be a 'famous' place to go for bakuteh here in Singapore. I don't know whether i like it or not (yet), but it kinda tastes like my grandma's cooking :D Which is not bad i guess? Oh & my planned diet failed again, since we went to have dessert at serangoon's dessert bowl after that.

Been hanging out a lot with this bunch lately and I am thankful to have such friends that makes my life happy in so many ways. Just chilling and enjoying the day together, creating fun memories. Sometimes, I really can't stand people who complain about every single thing & letting negativity get the better of them.....People in this society nowadays should learn to appreciate one another more. Phony friends... phony friends everywhere.

Good news! I scored 28 out of 30 marks for the economics 30% mcq test.. could have gotten full marks f i triple-checked my work! Well, 28 ain't that bad either. I will be sure to get better results next time! Hmphhhh~ Final year examinations are coming right up too, how can i focus, study tips maybe (?) I need a private tutor..

Work hard now, enjoy later. Life's new motto. Goodnight!
