Recalling 2015

2015 is coming to an end really soon! Gosh. Time really passes by so so quickly. Assuming that I will be living till 100, I have reached the quarter point of my life! Let's see what I have done so far which is worth remembering...

1) I passed my bike test on my first attempt and got my own bike!
And of course, I could not help but to take a cool chic photo of myself on the bike :P Rusty, I love you so much. Thank you for being with me, rain or shine (literally). He was always there for me, when I pillion the people I love, and the times when I cried non-stop. I hope that we will last long!~

2) Played my part for the cancer support group. 
I can't believe that I took charge of this whole event. I'm looking forward to the many amazing stuff that I am going to accomplish for the support group in 2016. Yay :) As much as these patients touched my life, I would wanna touch theirs :)

3) Got promoted to a Senior Staff Nurse. 
Could not feel the pinch, neither did I boast much about it. But let's just say that it is an accomplishment, that I have come THIS far in nursing? :) I held on and stayed strong! Many more years to come!

4) Sang for my advanced diploma graduation ceremony.
Something that I could be proud of :D Anyway, this is also an excuse to post a photo of me when I look relatively slimmer! OMG! WHAT HAVE I BEEN DOING!

5) Was involved in a Musical :D
I really enjoy being in musicals/productions. Musical more actually heee. Cos I get to act, play a character and sing my heart out. Oh, not forgetting the chance to change into various costumes :) Ok, I am still waiting for a day when I get to sing a love song duet with a partner and fall in love on stage...

5) Started University.
Ok, but it's freaking me out now because I have submissions in a few weeks' time and I have totally no mood to do anything related to school How how how!!! :/ Alright, I'm gonna slap myself after this.

6) I actually looked this good/slim.
Photo effect or not, this is my motivation to slim down and exercise @_@

In 2016, I wish to...
1) Establish a Cancer Orientation Programme in partnership with the WCSG :)
2) Volunteer in Assisi Hospice: I was supposed to do it THIS YEAR but due to some circumstances, it will be in Feb. Maria you better START.
3) Adopt a healthy lifestyle and look slim & fit & chio.
4) Spend 2 months away from Singapore: Yup, that's definitely gonna happen.
5) Write songs and make music: Wow, it's been some time since I whipped out my guitar and made music.
6) Build up my dancing skills.
7) LOVE.
8) Have a bank account balance of $______

Alrighty. Wishing all a Happy New Year.

静静看着你

Ter recently did a cover of this song and I thought that it is so apt :( So, here'so my own interpretation of the song...

有一种旅行没有目的
(There is a kind of holiday with no destination)
有一种对话稍无声息
(There is a kind of conversation without a reply)
有一种等待不是等待
(You are waiting when there's nothing to wait for)
有一种曾经了无痕蹟
(We've gone through so much together, yet there were no memories)
有一种眼泪淌在心底
(There are tears at the bottom of my heart)
有一种痛楚就像呼吸
(There is pain everytime I breathe)
有一种守候仅是守候
(When I am by your side, I am really by your side)
有一种故事没有结局
(There is a story without an ending)

静静看着你
(Looking at your from afar)
隔着远远冷冷的空气
(In the midst of the distance and coldness between us)
静静看着你
(Looking at you from afar)
挂著轻轻浅浅的笑意
(I'm still hanging on with a smile)
兜著圈找不到那种距离
(The distance between us is too far apart that I can't see it)
不是你就是我那些刻意
(I'm confused on what's going on between us)
你手心的温度是犹豫
(I really don't know how you feel about me)

People have been helping me find more "friends", but my immediate response is to reject the invitation/offer. And I know the reason of such a reaction.

It's so funny, that after all these years, I can't seem to face reality or let you go. We have been creating so many memories of us together, but I know one day it will be destroyed like how a building collapses in an earthquake.

I've never been in a relationship, but I have loved and had heartaches before... The slightest thing makes me jealous and hurts me. It shows that you mean so much to me. I guess you can't exactly blame me for feeling this way.

When can I ever let you go?

Purpose

I guess I need to set my mind in the correct direction. After going through weeks of school, I realise that I'm not here to achieve good results (though, I hope I can). But more importantly is the process. Like learning stuff that I can apply next time at work, learn more about my working characteristics, and be happy in being youthful again.

Just hoping that I will have the opportunity to create radical changes and make the hospital a better place to receive treatment or to work in :)

At a blink of an eye, the year is coming to an end! It was almost a year ago where I went to Ward 71 for 2 months plus! Time really flies!! And very soon, I will graduate and hopefully get something worth recognising. So many expectations on me and I sincerely hope to do all these people proud. Never would I want to be known as the not-so-smart Maria. Or rather, I can don't be so smart, but I just wanna be genuine in the things I do and also be known as someone hardworking.

God is always my wisdom and my strength :)

:(

Last night, I heard from my colleagues that a patient passed on. Well, she's not just a normal patient. She's someone with recurrent cancer in the midst of her pregnancy. The cancer was so aggressive that she needed a cycle of chemo with the baby inside! 2 weeks ago, an induced labour was performed and her child was delivered at 27 weeks. I feel really sad and burdened for her. Well, the funny thing is, I've not met or nursed her before.

This just makes me miss my patients who had passed on :'( Like within a year, a couple of patients that I knew quite well had moved on to the other side. I don't know but I seem to enjoy the process of genuinely knowing them and caring for them in their last days. I do have regrets though, like certain things I didn't manage to do for them.

I would like to continue to share the love. So Maria, go sign up and volunteer in a hospice!

Palliative care... Is that my calling?

1 month

It has been almost a month since I started school... Hmmm, well it's true that I am enjoying all my regular meals, full weekends and regular naps. BUT, something's missing. The feeling of stepping into the ward, checking equipments, having patients greeting me, setting IV plugs, getting pissed off at work and the list just goes on! Hahaha. I think I miss the interaction with my cancer patients the most... Especially my "old customers" :)

For now, I kinda feel meaningless :( I mean the school just whacks us with 2 assignments to complete for a month, with minimum contact time with the lecturers. Yes, the difficulty is there, a lot of time is spent doing work. But on days that I do not have activities and when I just do work, it feels so empty. Hmm, looks like I need to play it well the next term!! Start filling my days with activities yet balance work at the same time!! Maria you can do it!! By the way, I hope that I can PASS my first 2 assignments. Heehee...

I hope the remaining 22 months will be better! I should do the most out of this period of time! MARIA STOP SLEEPING LIKE A PIG! STOP IT!

Okthanksbye.

I'm 25

Yay!! Once again, at a blink of an eye, it's my birthday again!!! So many things to be thankful for :)

First up, 2 weeks of intensive lectures are finished!! I do feel stupid at times. Need to buck up seriously. But yeah, thankful to be given this chance to study and hopefully get my honours. And at the same time, have fun! Which I think I did... Hehe...

Had the lovely RE gang celebrating my birthday! I always feel so paiseh to have such attention. Hehehe. But I'm still happy that I always have this group of friends there for me!!!

Ta dah~~~ They deserve all my love! Muacks!

On my birthday, I got to attend Little Adelle's 1st month party! I love this photo actually, because I am carrying the baby!! :P People just assume that I look after neonates wahahahaha. Ok lor, then I should act confident and just carry the baby! And maybe I am also at the age of being able to be a mother :X But yeah! That's true!

And of course... I could not be happier than to attend dear Theresa's wedding! Looking so pretty!! Yay!! We should TOTALLY meet up this month! :D

My birthday wish remains the same I guess. But I have learnt to always be contented with what I have. Thankful for all who love me so much! :D I shall fight on!

Happiness

Very often, I conclude my life with so many 'what ifs' and 'if only'. You know, if we search for something that is too far away from us, we will tend to miss out what has always been close by. I am glad that these people have always been within my sight.

As a look back in life, being in JDC was one of the most greatest thing that had happened to me. I hope this moment would stay on for decades and decades. Definitely the best people to perform and hang out with :D

Thank you Terrence for creating JDC.

Work's Out, School's In!

So I ended work last week. The feeling was bitter-sweet.. Sweet because I do not need to do shift work for the next 2 years. I figured 4 years of accumulated shift work has made me a very tired person overall. Another thing is that I no need to tolerate the 2015 changes in the ward. Sigh, at times I do feel upset and would like to throw in the towel because of certain changes. Oh well, let's see what this 2 years of break can do for me...

But of course part of me do not want to leave because of my...... Patients :( Well, I won't miss any patient in particular but I just miss the times where I get to interact with them, care for them, send them my love and provide my nursing services to them. I think I told a whole lot of my patients that I will be studying(Yes, omg so my character to tell them everything! haha). Secondly I will miss my colleagues. But I guess it's not too bad because we still can keep in contact :D

Day 2 of school DONE. No pressure yet. But I secretly hope that advanced diploma will help me in a great extend! Come to think of it, advanced dip was CRAZY, yet manageable? Like we had to complete a few health assessment components, present 2 group projects, have a test and submit 1 assignment. Hoping that all will be GOOD this time. No unnecessary pressure please D:

Ok, shall be expecting more blog entries!!!

Counting Down...

I feel happy and excited as I start University life next week. Yet I feel upset that things are left unsettled :(

What I would miss most is patients greeting me the moment I come to work.

And I guess..... you....

My Holidays

OMG! It has been such a long time since I last blogged! And finally, I am sort of free on a Saturday morning!! The past month has been quite crazy for me. But I am glad to be at this point! Gonna start school next week already :DDD Well, I shall wait for another blog post to share my feelings etc.

At the meantime, this is part of the stuff I have been busy with! Went to Dubai last month!! A good experience with desert life and a super rich country! Dad & I with Burg Al Khalifa!

The rest of the times were spend in shopping centers... The desert safari was definitely worth remembering!

Love the colour of the sky and feeling the soft soft sand. But urgh, you can't imagine how much sand was stuck in my shoes :/

The next holiday was going to Bangkok!! Wheee! Love it especially I got to go with someone who could shop with me, and help me choose what to buy! :P Loving the hotel room too!! Well recommended!!

Not only did we go shopping, but we also went cafe hopping! Ate till we grew so fat! Btw, she was the one who was complaining that she was hungry, not me :P Us at the super prime location in the city of Bangkok, between Siam Center and Siam Paragon!!

Following that was my SIT Student Orientation Camp! I bet I was one of the oldest camper around but mixing with these guys made me feel younger! Heehee... It was nice to know people from other courses! And I also got to know more about the University structure!~

Yeah! Can't believe that I am going to be a University kid soon!!! :')

Ratchaprasong Bomb Happenings- My Encounter

On 17th of August 2015, Irena and I were cafe/food hopping in Siam Square One late in the afternoon. Soon after, we decided to go to Big C Supercenter via the Sky Bridge under the BTS tracks.

Since we have been using the Sky Bridge and walking almost the same way exiting into Central World, I had the thought of exiting into Gaysorn Plaza to get to Big C Supercenter. But mother nature decided to lead us into Central World to use to toilet. After using the toilet, we exited the building and saw smoke and a huge commotion. Initially, I thought some vehicle had exploded. Many locals were talking photos and videos with their phone. After looking at the scene, we thought that is was something minor. And maybe it was better to stay away from the site as the "exploded vehicle" might explode again. I searched the internet to look out for clues to what has happened 50 meters from us, but I guess the news was a little slower than us. I didn't want to approach any locals as I might sound like a bimbo not knowing what has happened.

We continued to walk towards Big C Supercenter from Central World and had to cross an overhead bridge. We could see parts of the commotion from the bridge. The traffic was messy and vehicles going towards the exploded scene were diverted away from it. At the same time, emergency vehicles were trying their best to squeeze through to the scene. I guess the Thais handled it pretty well.

We then resumed our supermarket shopping until someone from home messaged me to ask if we were alright as a bomb had just exploded in Bangkok.

At that moment, my heart jumped a little. Having the thoughts of, "We were about 30 meters from the site 10 minutes before the blast(bomb probably exploded when we were using the toilet, cos when we were out, smoke from blast was still visible)", "If we went towards the direction of Gaysorn Plaza, could the blast affect us?". I could confidently say that we would not be directly affected by the blast itself but the sound, seeing the people injured/killed could affect us emotionally. I immediately told Irena that thankfully we needed to use the toilet. If not, it would have been a different story for us altogether.

Before the news could spread, I quickly reported my safety to my parents. People who learned that I was in Bangkok started to message me. I assured them with my reply. We then headed back to the hotel as soon as possible for safety.

We understood the situation better after watching the news. We thanked God for our safety, that we were not at all affected by the blast, yet our heart goes out to casualties and families who were affected badly. Terrorism is not fun. Innocent lives(could be us) were lost! #prayforbangkok

Tried to recollect the situation as accurately as possible. What a holiday!

SG50 Musical

Kinda sad that the musical is over already :( Well, if you have noticed, I have not blogged for the longest time due to attending rehearsals. I have to applaud myself. Hahaha. Imagine waking up for work at 5.30am, start work at 7am, work until 4pm, try to take a quick nap at my staff lounge till 6pm and make my way to NYP for rehearsals at 7pm and then reach home 11plus and sleep at midnight. And this repeats almost everyday for 3 weeks! @_@

This journey has come to an end and I am happy that I have made some achievements and made a whole lot of new friends :)

Presenting the entire cast!!! They are definitely one of the nicest bunch ever!!! It's like.... Everyone is so accepting of each other here!

Not forgetting JDC! Hehehe. I always feel so happy when I get to sing/dance with them on stage!! May we have even more shows to do!!!

Terrence muack muack! This boy is amazing! He wrote the script, directed, planned miscellaneous stuff, trained the cast, acted, danced and sang for this production!!! Seriously, I don't know what he can't do!! He really deserves all my love :)

Kinda love this shot with Mommy. Hehehe. Mommy has been the best mother ever!! Waiting on me at home. Helping to wash and iron my uniform because I would already be so tired after rehearsals. Cooking or buying good food for me. I love you Mommy!

These girls had helped me quick change! Really appreciate their help! I really could not have done it without them. Hehehe. Which is something pretty amazing! I could change from a nonya costume to a cheong sum with fake hair and all within 5 minutes? And finally I had the chance to take a group photo in this costume hehehee.

This is how we look on stage!!! Many thanks to Roy! We look stunning :D (ok, except the fact I look fat). Actually... This song wasn't sung perfectly. Sigh.... The dancing and walking really made singing 100x more difficult. I hope it didn't spoil the show~ Shall wait for the official video to see how it is like!!!

My "musical" moment... Heh... The light rays behind me looks so beautiful!!

It's amazing my heart doesn't beat as fast when I am on stage performing, as compared to before taking an exam or going for an interview. Heh... Before this production, I expected a breakthrough and I guess I did have the breakthrough? Especially for the great world scene... Being the "star" and sucking up all the confidence and making myself stand out... Because I usually tend to be the one standing at the side. But I guess, I could get used to it and be BETTER! :)

I also expected to be closer to Terrence and JDC which I am pretty sure I did :D All thanks to the supper sessions we have been having :P

Will this journey of mine stop? Or will it keep going on?

In Loving Memory...

23rd July 2015

She was one of the most optimistic lady I have known. She was a true warrior indeed. Because she was in denial, she was someone who was so positive and fought so hard. May this post remind me to fight hard despite any circumstance.

This just reminded me of the previous few patients who have passed away. Especially the ones whom I had made a personal relationship with. At times, I do wish that I will get to see them one day in heaven. Let's hope that it's true :) May they also be my guardian angels, looking out for me as I carry on with my life.

I love my job still.

家后

  • Ter recently introduced this song to me as he will be singing it for the upcoming musical!~ I really love the feeling of this song... Also, one of my very cute and dear ah ma passed away :( So I guess this song will be in memory of her. Through this song, I could somehow feel the emotions of what ah ma went through. I will miss you smiling and acknowledging me when I pop by your bed ah ma :(

  • 有一日咱若老 找无人甲咱友孝 我会陪你
  • 坐惦椅寮 听你讲少年的时阵 你有外摮
  • 吃好吃丑无计较 怨天怨地嘛袂晓 你的手
  • 我会甲你牵条条 因为我是你的家后

  • 阮将青春嫁置恁兜 阮对少年跟你跟甲老
  • 人情世事已经看透透 有啥人比你卡重要
  • 阮的一生献乎恁兜 才知幸福是吵吵闹闹
  • 等待返去的时阵若到 我会让你先走
  • 因为我会呒甘 放你为我目屎流

  • 有一日咱若老 有媳妇子儿友孝 你若无聊
  • 拿咱的相片 看卡早结婚的时阵 你外缘投
  • 穿好穿丑无计较 怪东怪西嘛袂晓
  • 你的心我会永远记条条 因为我是你的家后

  • 阮将青春嫁置恁兜 阮对少年就跟你跟甲老
  • 人情世事嘛已经看透透 有啥人比你卡重要
  • 阮的一生献乎恁兜 才知幸福是吵吵闹闹
  • 等待返去的时阵若到 你着让我先走

  • One day, when we get old
    And there's no one to gather around 
    I'll be accompanying you, sitting next to you
    Listening to your endeavors from your younger days
    I don't care for fancy meals
    Neither do I play the blaming game
    Your hand, I'll hold so tightly
    Because I am always behind you.

    I spent the best time of my life married to you
    I followed you from young to old
    Life's stories, I have seem them all
    Who can be more important than you
    I dedicated my life to our family
    And learnt that happiness comes from silly bickering
    When the time of departure comes
    I'd let you go first
    Because I cannot bear to leave you in tears for me....

    One day, when we get old,
    With our children around us
    Should you get bored, let us go over our picture albums 
    Look at how handsome you were at our wedding
    I don't care for fancy meals
    Neither do I play the blaming game
    Your heart, I'll always keep it on my mind
    Because I am always behind you.

    I spent the best time of my life married to you
    I followed you from young to old
    Life's stories, I have seem them all
    Who can be more important than you
    I dedicated my life to our family
    And learnt that happiness comes from silly bickering
    When the time of departure comes
    You'll have to go first
    Because I cannot bear to leave you in tears for me.

    Thoughts of an ordinary nurse

    "Before her family came, I could mourn and even whine a bit to her on her death. But when her family arrived, I had to put up an act and pretend that her death did not affect me a single bit."

    "We are all trying to work here. We are professionals. So, who are you to doubt our skills?"

    "Sorry for missing out the IV medications. I really did not mean to :/"

    "I tried my best to listen to your cries. But sigh... I guess I am really not so good in talking. But I do hope you do feel my concern and support by being by your side..."

    "Today was a tough shift, but I know I will miss these little moments when I go to school."

    "From this shift, how can I improve to be a better nurse?"

    Things Change

    Today, I reached my breaking point. I had it. I had enough of all these nonsense. I know I was emotional, but having the thoughts of breaking my bond, withdrawing from my uni, resigning, hoping that I will just get into a road accident proved that I could no longer take it anymore.

    Where is my love for work? I still remember, being happy. Happy to be involved in hospital related events, enthusiastic about international audits, wanting to help the hospital and uphold the name. Always being the first few staff to come to work. Staying back to help or run some errands. I didn't mind doing all these then. I was happy.

    I was reading my previous blog entries years back... All I wanted to do was to improve myself so much and love my patients. But my current situation does not seem to allow me to do so. I feel horrible. I dread work now. Hate to see the people who knows how to talk but does not do any action.

    What makes things worse is that you can act as if nothing happened. I really applaud your excellent drama skills. After so much that we have gone through together, you can just shake me off and treat me as if we are strangers, or simply just normal colleagues. I feel disgusted with that behaviour. I really do. It's like all the we've been through together does not matter anymore. The long talks we had, the little favours I helped you with, the times where I would just sit at your place and stare at the TV to be with you at the lowest point of your life. Nothing... They all mean nothing now.

    I don't know what will go on from here... I remember telling myself, to love you unconditionally. No matter what. But I didn't mean it this way. It's like I rather you give me lousy grades for appraisal but still treat me as someone you love.

    I hate you. I despise you.

    Tuesday, June 02, 2015

    Miserable

    That is what I am feeling right now...

    It's so true, that the person you love so much affects you the most. What have I done wrong? You had hurt me, but why does it feel that I am the one hurting you?

    I remember 2 months ago, I was so afraid of losing you. All I wanted to do was to be by your side, and go through the tough times with you. Which I did. And now, the thought of you makes me feel miserable.

    Sometimes, I feel that I am being "used". You don't care how I feel about you and you seem to approach me only when you require help from me. But I promised to love you unconditionally. I am not asking for much. I just want you talk to me.

    That's all.

    I'm back, again

    Last last Sunday was my dear friends' Roy and Elicia's engagement day :) Congrats guys!!

    Was asked to help out in video recording. Hehehe. Love this shot of me doing it :P

    After a year, I had my advanced diploma graduation ceremony! Presenting a lovely shot with my mother! My main pillar of support!!

    With the elite kids. I could not have done as well without their help and pressure. Hehehe...

    The whole performance team with the NYP staff! Woohoo!! This makes me so proud to be in NYP! Really an energy and dynamics that you can never experience elsewhere!!

    As usual, I tried on the dancer's costume. Hehehe I could fit into it! :D Had so much fun hehe...

    This is over but I have an upcoming one! I CAN'T WAIT!!! Long time no do musical hehehehe... Wait for it, wait for it!!!

    Friday, May 29, 2015

    Are you doing it right? Am I doing it right?

    Something has been bothering me real bad today... I came to realise that you are coming up with ridiculous changes that with one look, I don't see it worth doing.

    Once again, I would like to establish that I am not a lazy person (though I say it sometimes, hehe). But this "principle" has been with me since I started work at 17. If the results of doing a certain thing is not worth my effort, then I would rather not do it at all. That simple. The management probably won't understand what we ground staff are going through. I already find it a struggle to keep up with my current work and things that I am assigned to do. Why am I doing more unnecessary work?!

    I know, my decision or my opinion does not matter at all, because I am simply a staff nurse. But let this be a reminder to me in the future when I ever become a leader or play a management role. I have often been told that I am a person who is quite resistant to change. But I would rather say that, I don't like other people's idea of that "change". I am not being won over. It is like how my ideas are usually rejected at times. Does that mean the person who rejected my idea is not keen for change?

    When I first started out Nursing, I always wanted to have that connection with patients. Am I having that now? What has changed? Can things be like what they used to be like?

    I am going to pursue my degree in 4 months' time. Can I still make a positive change in my workplace? Will things become like what they used to be like(in a good way)?

    God, help me once again. I need wisdom. I need more of You.

    TGIF and for my leave!

    Phew! Everyday the past one and a half week, I have been waking up at 5am for work and reaching home at 11pm after rehearsal. Finally, my leave is here but it seems that my schedule is even more hectic! Heh... Anyway, Day 1 of graduation is done!!! And boy oh boy! It was a really hectic day!

    Had the honour to sing for the first session of NYP graduation 2015. Hehehe. I don't know if I didn't not perform for too long(especially the "formal" shows) but I felt so freaking nervous! Heheh. But all was good when we were on stage!!! One down! 2 more to go!!!

    Love this new setting in T-junction! The thing I love about performing- Looking good. Hehehe....

    Team B with the dancers~

    My favourite dancer of course!! Feeling so happy for her as she is going to New York to pursue her dreams!!! Wow...

    So at night JDC had a very special show... It was a surprise wedding flashmob! The photo without Ter :((

    So here's one with him!! Hahahah! Oh my! It has been so long since I have been with him. Probably almost 5 years already! Wow!

    Ta-dah!! I call it the wedding of the decade because everything looked so grand and awesome! This wedding felt so much like an event(hehe). The couple even hired local entertainers to sing for the wedding! COOL!!!

    More to come babeh! Let the tiredness begin!!!

    WCSG Outing

    This year felt a little different because I was to organiser :) I had to coordinate so many things and deal with so many people. Hahaha but I glad that it was a success and I am very thankful for the people who stepped out and helped me so much!

    Attempted to take artistic shots but I guess I do need room for improvement... The beautiful orchid caught my eye though. So purple... So perfect :)

    This shot of Cheryl reminds me of June from Tarzen. Hehehe...

    Us surrounded by beautiful orchids :) Muacks muacks muacks!

    I think I was more interested in taking paparazzi shots of people hehehe.... Like this one for example! :P

    I need more events to take nice photos eh..... Till then.

    For Kat

    Some friends are worth treasuring...

    I am happy that she's moving on to pursue what she wants. Yet at the same time, I'll miss this "working relationship" and weekly dance encounters with her.

    I really do hope that this would not be the end of our friendship. In fact, more time will be spent together when time permits.

    Thank you for all you have done, Kat.

    Felina's Wedding

    Right now, I am at a point in life where most of the people around me are getting married.. Of course, I do get the pressure. But... LALALA I DON'T CARE! I AM HAPPY BEING A PRETTY BACHELORETTE.

    Anyway, congrats to my cousin!~

    This shot with mommy is so nice! Loving her natural smile at the camera (for once!)

    The cousins... We are all so BIG now!!!

    And the older ones.... Some of them are already grandparents. And grandparents-to-be....

    Alright, on night shift(again) tonight.... Time to sleep. I hope I can sleep!!!

    A post-MTV project photoshoot

    We planned and practiced the song last year in April, we recorded it in October and April this year, we finally did the video recording!~ Can't wait to share it around. Ok, I don't expect to have thousands of likes, but I just love sharing what I love doing! :D

    Anyways, after the video recording, Roy wanted to take 15 minutes to do a lil photoshoot, since we had the equipment and the pretty clothes/makeup with us! And the 15 minutes became 1 hour. Hehehehe...

    Roy & I! We have been awesome friends for the past 8 years!!!


    A nice emo shot... Heh.. If only I wore something nicer hor :/

    One of my favourite shots!!! :DDD

    Hope there will be more chances to take such shots!~ It's not that I am full of narcissism, but I enjoy appreciating these shots!~ Yeah!!! In the years to come, I will have such a pleasant time looking back at these photos!

    Ok, shall crash now because I still have not recovered from the 30 hours I did not sleep after my night shift @_@
