 Little Thoughts by Sam: Friendship
Another sleepless night, so here's a short (or maybe not so short) post on friendship. (I swear I love this Little Thoughts Birdy picture)
So, today's topic, Friendship. Something thatan be so simple yet so complicated. But wells, never understood what made things so complicated in the first place.
To start things off let's start with the first sub-topic Read more »Labels: 2017, Friends, Little Thoughts by Sam, random, Reflection Sem 1 is over?!
Now for the long ass post. (Have to make up for my long hiatus from blogging) The last thing I really talked about before EWP was midterms and a lot of things happened from then till now. There were good days when I had a lot of fun from random shit that I did and there were also bad days when assignments, tests and everything was coming at me all at once. Pretty sure that there's not much of a need for me to talk about all these useless things here but I'm still gonna do it so that when I'm old and gray, I can look back and think about how dumb I was in the past.

Late post, but better late than never! BME camp was 2 weeks ago and it was pretty awesome. Nice to have met new friends and it's funny how I met a few familiar faces haha. (Had a good catch up with Wei Ling, my secondary school classmate and funny how my EnginCamp SP is now my OG mate hahaha) Honestly, I still enjoyed EnginCamp more, maybe because of the people or maybe just because I had a really bad SP experience, but the camp was still really really fun!! Time for the picture spam. (Can't really remember the details of the camp now, but I'll try to summarize it..)

Hello World! I'm finally back after soooo long. I guess it's been ages since I last updated this blog cuz I've been pretty busy with playing DOTA and working on Bakestaters (it's a new online baking ingredient service thing that I'm helping out with. You can check us out Bakestarters Website and follow us on instagram @Bakestarters ) Anyways, enough of talking bout work... Wheeeeeee! Just came back from EnginCamp and have to say that it was the best 4 days of my life hahhaha (maybe there gonna be more of such days in Uni life cuz I'm really looking forward to BME camp which is like next week GG shag liao) Now for a quick summary of the past 4 days of fun, sun and craziness.

On the last day of March, I'm dedicating this relatively emotional and sentimental post to my dear friends. For those who might not know me as well, you'll probably expect me to be one of those happy go lucky person who take things really lightly and as quoted can "make friends without fears". Well, I'm not that fearless actually. I guess if you've been following this blog for long enough, or have nothing better to do and went to scroll down 200+ post to the early days (oh I cringe at those days when I literally post 3 lines for fun), you'll probably realize how badly things were going for me when I first entered secondary school. From the sadness of missing my old friends to the excitement of making new friends and eventually the pains of being betrayed by the people I trust the most. I guess you could say that all this is part and parcel of life and I guess it is with all these experiences that I've become who I am today.

I know I'm in no position to say this or self-diagnose but I'm pretty sure I'm slipping back into my past self. Sometimes, I wonder, why did I even let myself out. Read more » Labels: All hope is gone, Annoyed, Friends 18 years~~
Hello World! I'm finally back. It's been ages since I last posted haha. Well, life hasn't been easy for the past 2 months but nonetheless, I'm back haha. Now for a little update. January flew by in a flash. Didn't really have much time to spend on myself. Well, February is almost half gone and BT1 is coming. NOOOOOOOO.......... Now for a quick summary of life and reflection. In January, I did something pretty crazy. I decided to join squash for training. Those who know me will know that I'm not really the sporty kind (Ok, I play sports but still, I'm not the type that can handle such rigorous trainings). I would say that I really enjoyed those days training with the team and picking up the sport. But all good things must come to an end I guess. It's quite saddening that the school wouldn't allow me to take on 2 school teams (considering that I've already secured my spot in the Badminton team) I decided to leave squash. It wasn't an easy decision weighing in the fact that I won't really get to play for the team in Badminton. Just going to take this chance to thank my squash teammates for teaching me so much and for helping me pick up the sport so quickly. Also, thanks Coach Zainal for putting in so much effort to teach me and help me learn faster. I'll be back in the squash courts someday I guess. (Might consider joining squash in the future haha cuase it really is a very fun and good sport to relax) The rest of January wasn't really all that eventful except Lao's Birthday !!!!!! Jasmine is the oldest in Mahboobs so her birthday is first !!!! First birthday of the year, first birthday in 7C and first one to be legal and can buy me alcohol hahaha (Please don't mistaken that I'm an alcoholic please, I just love the taste hahaha) It was an awesomeue day as we split her celebration into 2. First was the cake and birthday song during recess and the best part came after school. (Shall not reveal too much here. It's for us to know and you to find out hehe)
February is what I would like to call my most exciting month. From celebrating my birthday to CNY and many many test. This month is just super busy for me. So as not to bore everyone to death, I shall focus on 3 main events.
1. Happy 18th Birthday to Me
Yes! It's finally here! I'm finally legal to drink and buy toto haha. Celebrated my birthday at home since it's HBL day aka slack day. I actually planned to go to USS with my family but since I couldn't finish my HBL work on time, we stayed at home.
The first surprise I received was from MahBoobs. (Thanks guys) yups I got pretty notebooks which I'm going to put to good use and FOOOOOOD. THANKS GUYS. Y'ALL KNOW ME TOO WELLLLLL!!!!!
Second part of the birthday celebration was from my parents. Really didn't expect my mum and dad to get me a cute princess banner and helium balloons haha. (I'm a kid again, a legal kid that is)
Had awesome cake and ate my birthday all-time favourite, DRUMSTICK FROM KFC haha. It's been a long time tradition that I've been following. Every birthday I'll have a drumstick from KFC to munch on haha.
2.Fun under the Sun
Spent quite a bit of time this month under the sun. From running around to cover orientations games to getting rammed by running J1s during War Games, it's been a really awesome photography journey. As Term 1 comes to an end, my life as HC Photographer is almost ending. In about 2-3 months time, we'll all be stepping down, but that doesn't mean that it's the end of my photography journey hehe. Do look out for my pictures on my facebook profile. Add me.
FaceBook and tag all your friends in the pictures.
To add on to the tanning, I've recently been into playing Frisbee. Yes, you heard it. I'm becoming like one of those high school boys flicking around school. But that doesn't mean that I'm not freaked out by flying objects haha. It's actually quite fun when you play with people of the same standard and everyone is having fun.
Got quite tanned after Tuesday's ultimate session with the badminton rec club people. Shout out to the awesome people ! Confident to say Bad. Rec people are SUPER NICE (minus some haha) So here's a big thank you to those in my group (Bryan Chia, Student of the Year Jin Kai, the Quan brothers Hong Quan and Wei Quan, Rachel, Wan Ling, Cheryl Mah,Xue Er who's no longer with us P.S. Do well in Squash kays and that stupid Banana who is randomly crashing ahah)
3. CNY Celebration & POP
Yesterday!!!!!!!!
Celebrated my first and last CNY in Hwa Chong. It's pretty awesome. Did my first LoHei for the year as well. Shout Huat until I lost my voice haha #toodamnfail
Had a lot of fun running around taking pictures of everyone and trying to find people in the crowd. But I have to say, the food in the street market is a rip off. Who sells a small bowl of food for like $2.
After the celebration the J1s had POP. It's super nice to watch them dance again (Reliving the good'ol days of J1 when we were once so carefree and relaxed)
Shall spend the rest of my CNY editing photos and writing more blog posts.
Till next time,
Gong Hei Fatt Choy
Happy Chinese New Year!

It's finally 2014 ! Time really flies and before we know it, a new year had just begun. I know I still haven't posted about my Europe trip ( hehe have been really lazy since the day I came back. I'm still jet-lagging really badly) but I promise that I'll get them up by tomorrow. For now, I would just like to share this awesome video by one of my friends. ( Do subscribe to her channel and like her videos. She's really cool & fashionable, unlike me ) After watching the video, I really have to say, sometimes I wish I was a tad more like her. She was born 1 day earlier than me and she is so much more mature and fashionable than me. This video is really inspirational and got me thinking, what do I really want to achieve this year? I haven't really set new year resolutions in a very long while ( The last time I did that, it was in Sec 1 if I'm not wrong. That was like 4-5 years ago already) but after watching her video, I'm really inspired to set goals for myself and really work towards them. Since 2014 is a new year, I'm going to set off on a new journey. Next week, I'm going to get back my O level results and I need to make the crucial decision of choosing the right path. I feel like it's really important now that I set goals for myself and find a way to constantly remind myself that I have to work towards them. For now, I'll just post up some of my New Year resolutions: 1. To make more friends This year I'm going to carry on my studies in a JC (hopefully....) and I think it's going to be a new challenge for me once more. I still remember what happened in Sec 1 when I first get into a new school. I really hope it doesn't happen again. So this time, I'm going to be more receptive and take things less seriously when it comes to new friends. It's no point getting into fights and making enemies when you can make friends right? Thus, I shall try my best to be more approachable and make more friends (Y) 2. To work on LIM0NCELLO For those of you who don't really know, I'm part of this "band" with 2 of my friends. Our little musical group haven't been able to produce any music since our formation since we've always been so busy with our individual work and life, so I hope that we can really find some time to get our band up and going. Also, I'll take the chance to work on my musical skills. (I'm suppose to be the "Guitarist/Song Writer" of the band, but I haven't been able to write a song out and my guitar skills are seriously not up to standard since I don't go for classes haha) 3. EXERCISE It's been ages since I last exercised and I'm really gaining a lot of weight sitting here behind the screen. I was from badminton but ever since training stopped last March, I haven't really properly exercised. Hopefully, my future school will have a compulsory physical activity thingy like Crescent's FITT run or I'll have to pick up sports as my CCA again ( I don't really like the 2nd option because sports really tires a person out especially the physical training sessions. J1 will be tough to handle and JCs focus a lot on CCAs so I don't want my studies to be affected by my CCA) 4. Just be HAPPY Life is such. I realised that throughout my 4 years in Crescent, I really face a lot of troubles and many of these are just self-generated. So this year, I hope to be more open minded and happy. Take things as they come and don't complain so much Hopefully this year will be an awesome year and don't forget to subscribe to Leona [Click here to link to her channel] and if you want to, you can check out my YouTube channel, please subscribe and like.
