That was my last ride. The last time you fetched me from Point A to B. The last time before your owner is no longer us. The last goodbye that almost broke my heart.
You have been there for me since the very start, from Primary 1 until now.
You were there to bring me to most, if not all of my tuition classes.
You were there when I received my PSLE results.
You were there to celebrate with me when my results came back.
You were there to fetch Grandma to where she wanted to go.
You were there to bring me to the hospital to visit Grandma in her final months.
You brought me from HIPS to NCHS.
You brought me to Malaysia, my first 'road trip'.
You were there, every morning and most of the time, after school, to either bring me to school or to bring me home.
You were my touchstone, the one thing that didn't change even when I lost so many loved ones. How could I ever forget how Emily came down to you every morning with her brothers and pressed your horn. How could I ever forget the joy that you brought me, the convenience that came with your existence.
I lost Grandma, and that was hard enough to deal with, no that was terrible to deal with.
But now, I lost you.
You started and ended my day. I saw you every day. Nothing will ever be the same again.
Nothing will ever be the same, ever again.
Thank you, for always being there, for bringing me so much joy, for bringing me so much convenience. Thank you, for being in my life.
Although it really pains me to let you go, I hope your next 5 years will be as joyful as the 9 years you spent with me, and then it truly will be goodbye.

The Photography Journey of a Lion City Kia- Chapter 1
Hey guys,
I'm actually surprised you guys still follow this space here, since I rarely ever update now. But still, I really am really grateful for that.
As those who have followed me from the time I started this blog, you probably already know that I am in my school's Multimedia Club, so that pretty much explains my love for photography. So one day, I thought, since I can't update a story all the time, I might as well post the photos I took along with a little caption or something.
Just a little something for you guys to enjoy.
So this is the very first one!

Just to clarify, I took this photo on my phone (I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Note Edge now), so even though I really love those "professional" cameras like a DSLR, it really goes to show that you CAN take high quality photos with your phone, because sometimes, when a great photography opportunity comes, you really don't want to miss it just because you don't have a camera with you.
Now, my belief when it come to photography, is that the feeling you get when you look at a photo is of utmost importance.
I know many photography training courses will tell you to use this technique, or that technique, and yes, I agree that it may enhance your photo, but if the techniques don't come naturally for you, DON'T FORCE IT. Just take a photo based on your instincts, and who knows, it may turn out great!
For aspiring professional photographers to be, keep a look out for my posts. If I have enough time, I will put in some tips for y'all. That said, I am still a student, so I may make mistakes too. I promise that I'll do research, but if my techniques don't work for you, please don't force it. The feeling you get from a photo is really of utmost importance, I really cannot emphasize that more.
So this is it for today. I know it is exam season, so all the best guys! JIA YOU!

A Tribute to the Challengers of NCHS
Hey guys,
This really is a tribute to my class, but feel free to enjoy it if you want.
For my classmates coming over from Facebook, Instagram or Twitter,
A big hug to all of you. Thank you for supporting, and this post is for you.
A throwback to last year, where we were all babies of Nan Chiau, the new kids, trying to get to know the school and more importantly, trying to get our bearings and get to know each other. Those were the times when cliques were first formed and new friends were made, different to those we had in primary school.
Time flew, and despite all our differences, we bonded as a class, and had plenty of crazy times.
Remember our class barbeque, where we had so much fun teasing and disturbing our FT, Mr Tan?
Remember Physics lessons, where Mr Tan could turn the introduction to Light, in to Dating 101 for the guys?
Remember the fun we had at CFA, and when we were doing the ACRES roadshow?
Those were the crazy times, and I look forward to our last meeting, for our final class gathering.
Most of us have got different aspirations and will choose different subject combinations. Most of us will not be in the same class agian next year. I wish all of you all the best, and may you be able to do well, and score well in every assignment.

Wishing all of you all the best, and I enjoyed these two years with you guys, and I hope you guys feel the same.
With that, I will end this blog post, but the feeling of longing to repeat the year will still be there, no matter how much I look forward to the new academic year.

2015 In A Nutshell
As 2015 draws in to a close, I figured that one of the best things to do at the moment is to step back and reflect on the year. Have I achieved what I wanted to? Have I made the most of the year?
First of all, a couple of major things happened this year.
Academically,
I scored a couple of D7s this year, (which for those of you not in the Singapore Secondary School grading system, D7 means that I failed that subject).
Well, I learnt from my mistake, and bounced back, and managed to pass those in the end.
I worked hard and got into the stream of my dreams. I'll admit that I was hesitating between two of my favourite subjects, and I chose THE ONE, eventually. Even though I am happy with the choice I made, I'll never stop wondering what would have happened if I chose the other.
Generally in life,
I lost 3 of my closest relatives within a period of 3 years, 2 of them this year. Those who do know me on a personal level, you will know who I'm talking about. Those of you who only know me as the writer of this not-regularly-updated blog, I'm sorry, but I really am not planning to go into the details. I am not planning to, and not very willing to.
But yet, during the periods of grieve, I gained. I gained experience. I became more independent, and reinforced my unwillingness to break down in public. I reconnected with my cousins, some of whom I have lost connected with for the longest time. Some, I meet regularly, but of whom I got to know better.
In this space,
Since I started, I tried starting 2 series, Yay Or Nay? and Your Daily Motivation.
Both I did not continue with after a while, I regret to say. I had high hopes of myself, and what I would do, writing everyday, a little something for you guys to look forward to regularly. But I can't. And I am sorry.
Life keeps giving me surprise plans, and that's why I can't plan out my schedule properly. That said, I am to be blamed too. I'm too lazy in nature to keep up with a daily, or even weekly series. Therefore, I may try again next year, but maybe not. I don't know. I guess I will just have to go with the flow.
Now, for the most cliche part of all "In A Nutshell" posts, my goals and plans.
1. I want to spend more time with my family. The year has made me realised the importance of not taking them for granted, and to strive to spend as much time as possible with them.
2. Being in a foundation building year, I really want to do well in my studies.
I guess, at the end of the day, it really does matter what you do, when you do.
