So much has

happened since my last post. Some general updates: 1. S

What the actual fuck was I thinking when I said I had a thing for S. I even had the audacity to ask “Am I in love?” Holy crap haha! Since my last post, a few things have transpired. Firstly, I found out that S actually had broken up with his girlfriend of 5 years. No guessing how I felt about that. So then I tried to snake my way into his life - strike up conversations, purposely walked past areas where I knew he would be at (oh God recounting all these really gives me second hand embarrassment) and best of all edited his personal statement for him HAHHAHAHAHAH sigh.... The things I do for the men I thought I love.... Revolting. Soon enough I found out through Instagram that he got back with his ex, I got a little depressed but the bottom-line is that I got over and that is all that matters. BLESS.

P.S. He got into LSE for Masters. That’s right. Your girl helped send a kid to LSE for Masters. Now imagine if your girl actually put in 10000x more effort into her own shit. She would have been at Cambridge by now. 2. FOSTER THE PEOPLE CONCERT I finally went for the concert! It was fucking surreal. Stood for about 1.5 hours in a cosy space along with other FTP fans at Big Box. Imagine our surprise when we found out that we were among the older attendees.... FTP was a band of our generation. Somehow we also found secondary school kids at the concert too. So that was half depressing half amusing. Mark Foster played our old favourites like Hustling, Coming of Age and all time crowd favourite Pumped Up Kicks. I heard that they don’t perform that song anymore due to the current social climate back home in the US (and we all know what that song was about) so imagine my surprise when they performed it! Might upload the videos when I can because I did take quite a number. 3. EXO’s ELYXION 2018

Never in a million years did I think that I would be able to watch EXO perform live this year. I mean, I did anticipate their arrival in Singapore. They have been coming every year to hold a concert here so this year should be no different. Problem at first was that no one could or wanted to go with me. Kuns who promised to go with me bailed and the rest just wasn’t interested or had no money. So I went by myself. Yes, my first time attending a concert solo and it was EXO’s! I got one of the cheaper seats (which were already quite expensive...).Thankfully, on the same day, I had lunch with some of the Council Kids. Afterwards, Nat and Esther volunteered to send me to the Indoor Stadium so that was nice. Well, actually they were there to observe the xiaomeimeis who were also attending the concert. But still, I am grateful! It was a great experience because I got to see my favourite men sing live! The only problem I had was that everything started with a bang and things progressed really fast like a bullet train I had difficulty catching up. EXO started their set with a remix version of The Eve immediately after appearing on stage. Among the screams, the excitement and special effects, I had trouble registering what was going on until after the song ended. Oh, don;t get me started on the overzealous security guard. He marred the experience for me. Shan told me that it’s normal for them to be very strict at KPOP concerts so I have no choice but to suck it. Pretty sure I’ll come back next year. Gotta start saving up for the better seats. 4. IAS Your girl just became the new Director of Conferences and Seminars within 3 months of joining IAS. Ok mainly because no one ran for the position. It all started when they announced that applications for exco was opened.I honestly had no intention of running at first. I mean, I was only in for like 3 months and pretty much missed all but one fortnightly session because of Kristang so I was the least qualified and deserving person to run for ANY position. Until Jeap told me that no one was running for his position so of course the devil whispered in my ear to try for it. Funny thing was that I wanted to submit my application on the last day of the application window but I couldn’t find the link to the application form so I thought hey, this is a sign. I completely forgot about it until Jeap texted me after my Foster the People concert. Apparently no one bothered to run for his position so he asked me if I wanted to because I did joke about it a couple of weeks before. I said yes. Fast forward a few weeks later and here I am. New responsibilities, new friends to work with, new things to worry about. I’ll take it day by day as they come but until after finals I’m going to chill out for a bit.

That’s all for now I suppose. Lots of things have happened since my last post. New experiences, new feelings, new sights, sounds... new everything. Alhamdulillah for everything. I’m just going to take them as they come.
