6 MONTHS HAVE GONE BY.

It's still pretty much crazy to me, especially when I have been blogging pretty frequently throughout the past six months, days that flew by without a hitch and others that dragged on for eternity. It doesn't really feel like today is finally the last day of my internship with SPH Magazines.

Writing has always been something incredibly sacred to me, and I am really happy that I was given the opportunity to really try my hand at print journalism in a place like Simply Her. I still remember being as jittery as I was excited about genuinely seeing my name in print for the first time - Was my article good enough? Did I fact-check everything correctly? Was my standfirst too cheesy?

Today was my farewell lunch. I already know how much I will miss the team as a whole. Honestly, I believe I really lucked out scoring a team like mine. They are all incredible people - patient, giving and driven all at the same time. Am really blessed to have learned so much from each and every individual, and no matter where I go in the future I will always remember my roots and where my first venture into the real writing industry started.

Also, to all the great intern friends I have made, I am seriously lucky to have all of you accompany me throughout the entire journey although none of you were in Simply Her before Collette, and I hope that we'll all be able to reunite again someday, someplace!

Too late to write a real nostalgic post but...

I LOVE YOU ALL, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR A GREAT INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCE. :')


Till we meet again...

It's so easy to bring a person down. So easy to condemn rather than sing praise of. I really feel regretful for times when I've felt this way about people. Sometimes it happens a lot more than I wish it would, but I resolve to change and be a more positive person. Not aiming to be a complete angel but I do know I never want to feel how it's like to be at the shorter end of the stick.

Need to start really digesting the fact that hating won't make me a better person.

On my way to Vivo to meet Justine for Bad Teacher - last day screening and we are finally catching it woohoo! Today was yet another day of slogging my guts out and I strongly believe that no one should ever work as a full time stylist because well...it really sucks? Haha. Don't think I should complain that much though, think of all the serious muscle I'm gaining! Still, the last three weeks are really going by reallyyyy slowly and each day is a serious drag. Met a CMM graduate at work today when she came up to say hi - finally I'm not so alone anymore! It's always comforting to see somewhat familiar people.

Here's to the anticipation of an early weekend. Getting ready to party on Saturday!

Attended SHINee World Concert in Singapore today and it was just fantastic. Everytime I attend a Kpop concert in Singapore I am reminded of just how much the entire culture has evolved in past years - so much to the point that almost every other person is a fan now. Truly not ashamed of admitting I am a huge one, the music, dancing and characters are just one of a kind.

So anyway, the fans were really behaved this time. It's the first Kpop concert I've attended where I remained seated most of the time - plus we had really good seats! Definitely worth the (exorbitant, thank you very much) price.

The past few days haven't been too great, but I'm glad that this weekend has been looking up. Kayaking with the poly peeps tomorrow (I know right, pray I don't fall into the water) and then another three weeks of internship before my life starts again. Happiness.

Picture of Lee Jinki that Michy took. Really love this talented boy. He was spot-on with Nessun Dorma this time. Think he improves with every perf. Sigh Italian has never sounded sexier.




Goodnight xx

P/S Happy birthday Chong Aik! Let's party next week.

Some things aren't mean to last. Yes, I mean the good ones. They give you a boost during a certain period of time when you feel like you need something to spur you on and get you through seemingly difficult days. But then before you know it, you're ready to stand on your own two feet and you are alone again. But it's okay, you are never going to be alone if you can't handle it.

So if you are always alone quit whining.
