The first picture was those ballsey things that I was telling you guys about that we all painstakingly filled with water and hung one by one.

And that tote bag is probably the first tote bag that I really properly like and has meaning to it. Can you see the Sweden word, the last one? Yeap, it's all the 10 countries that Go-Far has been to, in the past decade. In fact, 11 coz in 2005 they went to 2 countries to cover the Tsunami devastation that happened one year after, Aceh and Sri Lanka.

If there is one country that I can choose to go... Any country at all in the past 10 years, that would be Bhutan. Argh.. to me, that's the most exotic? I love countries with beautiful mountains. I'm thinking of going on a grad trip to all these countries bordering China and India. Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan, Mongolia. AHHH!!!! I wantttt. Does anyone wanna come along with me? I intend to hike mountains hahaha.


Anyway, I digress,

Here were the people!





It was a really awesome, spectacular party. I enjoyed myself a lot even though it was mostly standing, mingling and pulling tables.

The food, the drinks were delicious. I tell you, I had one of my best meals ever!??! Maybe I was really hungry but the beef, fish and chicken!??! ALL DAMN GOOD WTFFFF argh. OneParadise is the food caterer if you're wondering.

I don't take food photos unfortunately.

Oh btw, these pictures were taken by my talented photog friends on the team. Hariz and Pei Lin. Not me. I can never reproduce memories in such beautiful stills.

Also,

Here's the video that my video team mates and I painstakingly did up the last few weeks :')
So glad they laughed at parts where they were supposed to laugh lol. So thankful these 4 alumni were so willing to be part of the video!!!! Really very thankful. I saw the couple squirming in their seats while watching I felt so bad for them haha.




Wheee hoooo.

It was great testing ground before our actual trip to Sweden. Like it tested out how we could work with one another and improve our video making skills etc. So even though it was hard work, I am happy to have done it and used it as a platform to test waters.

I'm proud of it!! But as all things are, IT CAN BE BETTER.

I remember for the first shoot, I hadn't had ample rest after internship before getting started on it. So, I was damn tired. But at least it's done and over now.

There are things I would change after watching it again, but.. that's just perfectionism screaming.


All in all, I was really happy during the party.

I talked to a few seniors, in particular the 2012 and 2013 video groups. I dunno why but I somehow gravitated towards them. And I heard about their stories while overseas.

A lot of my seniors miss school a lot and I kept asking them, why? Coz I couldn't really understand WHY they liked school so much and missed it to bits. They were so excited to see how the school looked like after a few years and it was pretty funny seeing how excited they were. And one of them said something that really hit me when I asked them why they missed school so much and that was,

"When I'm in school, I feel like I can do ANYTHING"

I think it's true because in school, you can make mistakes and you dare to do a lot of things that probably work would not allow. The opportunities to do things were pretty endless. Like going overseas to report.. that's something only seasoned reporters in the real world would ever get a chance to. But here in school, opportunities are rife! You really can do anything! It is here in school when you can afford to make mistakes and do many things.

Having heard that, I kinda feel like I need to appreciate school life when I still can... Not much time left, but I'll try to savour every moment of it.


This coming 26th of September, THIS IS IT. I'm really flying to Stockholm ahhhhh!!!!

There's still so much more preparation to do I don't feel ready yet. We haven't firmed up our profiles and called anyone proper. And there isn't much time. Exactly 3 weeks omg. That's crazy!!! I tell you time will fly and I'm gonna be breathing Scandinavia air and seeing blonde hair blue eyed people walking by me hahaha.

Whatever it is, it's insane to think that I'm really doing this. Something I've been wishing to do for so long.

Dampened every now and then by worries and thinking about the 101 million things that might not happen for us while we are there. Or whether we'd even have anything to film by the time we're at Stockholm. It's gonna be crazeh.

But, really, I gotta take one step at a time. And motivate myself to get things done.

So much uncertainty, but I guess that's something that should drive me too. Life of a journalist. Always on the move, never settling.


Besides Go-Far, my school life, which is essentially my life in general, also revolves around FYP and Media Law.

A lot of uncertainty with FYP too, not sure if our idea on Halfway Houses would work. Faith should be accompanied by logic and sensibility. So I'm really pulling all of my team mates' skills to get this goinnn'.

Media Law is so exciting. I love Media Law. I told my friends that.. If I were a more astute and quick thinker, I would've studied Law at NUS.

Unfortunately, my brain isn't wired that way. And I don't have perfect memory - An asset that should come with every law student. But I don't find the concepts boring. Applying them to real life cases, is so exciting! And that is largely thanks to an awesome Professor, Dr. Cenite who is a fantastic lecturer. I dare say one of the best in school. Very good at facilitating conversation during class and I've never been so engaged in my entire school life. 2 hours fly by no kidding.

What's best? It's not a 9am class. I can never be awake during 9am classes. It's at a fantastic time slot at 11:30am on Mondays and 12:30pm on Tuesdays. How not to love???


As we head nearer to the end of the month, my posts will become irregular and shorter. So bear with me ya.

Mid-terms on the 15th. And loadsa prep to go~ Let's go.
