Erm...This is my title.

Alright I'm gonna try and push out a post in a short 15 minute train ride from campus to home.  I've been having these thoughts but yesterday's Odyssey 2020 (a mentoring and networking event) more or less confirmed the fact that I have ambitious plans with little to no industry knowledge and direction. I have lofty aims of going into Foreign Relations, and if that doesn't work out then attempt to go into the Consulting industry - as if that isn't difficult on its own.  Jumping the question of whether I truly want to go into those industries, I've come to a realization that I lack knowledge of the norms, practices and need-to-knows of those industries, especially in relation to peers my age.  Cutting this post abruptly, I feel like I will never reach some of the heights that some of my peers can professionally and I feel like I have implicitly accepted mediocrity within my lifestyle. 

So this post is coming off the back of some strong feelings in my chest after watching the show Delhi Crime on Netflix. If you've read some of my previous posts, you'd know that I'm not particularly great at phrasing or organizing my thoughts clearly or coherently so I apologize in advance if this is slightly all over the place. Delhi Crime is a re-enactment of the 2012 bus gang rape, mutilation and robbery in Delhi as the title says. I had seen the show icon on Netflix and had added to my list but totally forgot about it as time went on. I also wasn't actually aware of what the plot was. My friends, however, had recommended it to me recently and told me that it was about this particular event, which immediately convinced me to go and watch it. The show was heart-wrenching and I can't believe what the victim went through throughout her ordeal. I only hope she rests in peace now. What this show really reminded me about was of the crimes that are occurring not only

Hey So I'm typing this while having a conflict in my head as to whether I should be 'wasting' my time typing this or that I should be putting this time to better use and actually do up my marketing essay haha but I'm just telling myself that I need a break. Talking about breaks, I actually feel like I rest way more than other university students but I still seem to be perpetually tired and yet somehow, I still don't do as well as the rest of my friends do. Aren't I supposed to be doing better since I'm resting more... I feel my motivation waning with every passing day and I'm only year 1. Is it just me being whiny and complaining about studies or is university in Singapore really too stressful on a student? If you have any thoughts and/or advice do let me know. As for the rest of you university students, hang in there my friends. I'm here for you, even if I'm not here for myself.

Or at least a part thereof... It had already been a few hours since we landed in Ataturk Airport in Istanbul, Turkey and we were looking around inside a souvenir shop at the perimeter of the courtyard surrounding the beautiful Blue Mosque. I came across a book titled 'Istanbul - The Cradle of Civilisation' prompting me to make a mental note that I should diary down my trip to Turkey, USA and Canada this year. Looking back, I was really excited to explore parts of the world that I have never set foot on before. Growing up, It was ingrained within me that travelling is a luxury, not a necessity and this mindset has always made me grateful for the opportunities that I get to travel overseas. Every trip is unique and memorable and I want to capture all the feelings and experiences to the best of my abilities in as many ways possible. My 35-hour long flight to the City of Dreams, New York was split into three aspects - The initial 11h long flight to Turkey, 13h layover in Ist

Okay so the inspiration for this post came about when I was talking to my friend about how we should take note of the main events that occurred each year and compare it with the previous years which seemed like a really good idea. It got me to thinking and I was considering where I should diary down my year reviews and I thought what better way to resume my blog posts so hey ho let's go. 2017 Alright SO 2017 was my main year of National Service. There were many NS-related events and 'firsts' which I definitely can't ignore. Apart from that though, hmmm in comparison to previous years, I actually hadn't travelled out of Singapore for a good 2-3 years since sort of my O levels really due to education commitments and what not. To be frank, I hadn't even stepped into Malaysia other than on a school trip wow. So really 2017 I was determined to travel out more and I also wanted to cherish every trip no matter how big or small it could be. Soooooo In 2017, the

The title says it all really. Hahaha, As of today, I'm left with one more tour (i.e one morning shift and one night shift) of my shift work before I officially conclude my journey as a Police National Service (PNS) Officer. I'm not really sure how to feel about it tbh. All this while I really really wanted to get my National Service (NS) over and done with but right now as it is coming to an end, I don't want it to end just yet. I knew I would feel like this from the start, but that doesn't make me feel any better haha. Things are great for me personally within my team, but sadly it's time to say goodbye. Been a major rollercoaster ride as Neighbourhood Police Centre Officer (NPCO) but I'm glad I could go on this ride - even though I may not have fulfilled the height criteria to go on this rollercoaster ride ;) hahaha. Alright gonna pause rn to settle some stuff first before I come back to continue talking about my post ORD plans. Update: Today is the
