This is why I don't fathom why some "acquaintances" would like to say "Walao eh! you good la why you never invite me to your party?" when they see me. If you're someone who keeps in touch and I missed you out, I am sincerely sorry as I might have missed you out due to the intensive planning of the party. However, if you've not kept in touch for a long while and expect an invitation to be sent out, I feel it's quite weird, isn't it?

It's sad that I face problems like this but I guess I'm still happy that throughout the countless parties I had over these years, I still have reliable friends that I can always rely on. In the realistic world, there's always bound to be haters lying around in the midst. My mom will always try to advise me not to bother about those people that are "J" about your life and the way you want to lead it. This is the advice I believe those budding and "fellow peers and like-minded individuals" out there that are currently or might be facing similar issues in life, should adhere to.

As you all may not be aware of, I've never had it good at the start of my life. I started from scraps, trying to save as much as I can to ensure that I would not add on any additional burden to my single mom who has been trying really hard to scrimp and save to ensure my brothers and I get the best at least. It was all thanks to the support from my family; especially my aunts that have supported me throughout my journey in life, which enabled me to achieve what I have achieved up till now.

I was studious when I was younger, but it became tougher as family problems became a problem for me. From eating leftovers when I was younger to being independent and saving up to pay off my school fees, I felt that I've accomplished a lot in life already. It was never easy achieving such a feat like this and I would recommend everyone out there who is facing such a similar situation out there, to always believe in the need of having a "strong-willed attitude!" First, you'll have to know these two different phrases; one being "never try never know" and the other being "persevere for the greater good." Secondly, employ them in real-life situations. One example is that when you're uncertain of something or you're uncertain of an outcome, face the situation by thinking positive and approaching it in a manner that you'll naturally do. Never be succumbed by the fear of not knowing the outcome or the fear of losing or not getting what you want. The second example is that if you're interested in someone, go ahead and strive towards getting to know him/her, never be taken aback by your lack of self-esteem.

Let it flow naturally and even if it doesn't work out, you wouldn't live with regrets of not knowing what the outcome might be. This is the power of "if" that impacts your life negatively. Therefore, never let the word "if" cloud your mind and judgement as things might turn out to favour your interest instead. 

One last example is that when you're facing issues with your studies, always approach your lecturer for help, and keep that "eagerness to learn" growing deep within. This is the employment of the second phrase that I mentioned, which is to persevere towards achieving a desired positive outcome.

These phrases have been useful for my journey in life and I'll now pass it down to all my readers out there. All in all, all these phrases will boil down to one single sentence which is "as long as you've the will to do something, nothing is impossible as long as you don't give up and strive hard towards achieving your goals and dreams!"

Recently, I learnt a lot from someone special in my life. He told me to always remember this word whenever you encounter a problem in life, which is none other than "TIGER", which means "this is good enough really!"  This is the approach we should have in life when the outcome isn't what we expect it to be. I know sometimes it may be tough to approach life in this manner, but it's important to take note and appreciate what we have currently as we are already blessed to have such a wonderful life, filled with people around us. It's time we take things one step at a time and try not to have too many expectations on what's to come.

Anyway, I've been blabbering too much about life problems and lecturing you guys out there on how you should proceed with life, it's time to continue with this blog post on what happened last year. Before that, I'm going to confess something "WOOTS! I'M GRADUATING SOON!" and my commencement is happening one day after my actual birthday, which is none other than 16th July 2018. I'm actually quite excited as I'll be not only celebrating my upcoming birthday soon with my friends, but I'll be able to put on my graduation gown at both my birthday party and NUS commencement.

Always keep that smile on and look forward to the positivity in life - thanks @catandthefiddles for the awesome cakes that you've provided me with on my birthday last year
