Fairytale Feat. Forever SNSD~

Today's post is solely just related to changes in the K-Pop industry. So, people who are not interested in K-Pop, you are excused for this post. But if you are interested to read on, please feel free.

Today, I received a shocking news from the media saying that Jessica is leaving SNSD. I am really taken aback by this. And, I really don't know whose perspective to believe in. The two statements given by Jessica and SM Entertainment really contradict each other. So, it's hard to make a stand. According to SM, they say Jessica personally requested a halt in her promotions with the group after another one more album. On the other hand, Jessica said that she was informed out of nowhere, that she was no longer a member of the group. I mean how is it possible for her to request a halt in her activities when she just renewed her contract with SM not long ago. If she were to do that, wasn't it an immediate breach of contract?

For me, I would actually believe the party that made sense. In this case, I would take Jessica's stand. Being with the group for 7 years really made her forge true friendships with her members, so I really believe that she won't bear to drop out of the group. Being in an idol group for 7 years is really not easy, considering that they have to practise every day, made it harder for them. So, I strongly don't believe that she would do such a thing. And if she really want to drop out of the group, she wouldn't have renewed her contract in the first place. This is like THERE'S A HOLE IN FRONT AND YOU KNOW THAT THERE'S A HOLE IN FRONT AND YOU WANT TO JUMP INTO IT. I am disappointed because I am an ultimate fan of SNSD. I watched them grew in popularity, right from the point when they started off as zero.

I am an absolute supporter of the quote," Jigeum meun, SoNyeoShiDae. Appeurado, SoNyeoShiDae. Yongwonhi, SoNyeoShiDae." This means," Right now, It's SoNyeoShiDae. In the future, It's SoNyeoShiDae. Forever, It's SoNyeoShiDae. "

Being a true Sone, I really would support Jessica's decision. If her decision was to leave the group to fulfil her dream of being a designer, she would have my support. Because it's her life after all, and she have to live it. But if she wishes to continue as a member of SNSD but was forced to leave, then all the more I would stand on her side to wish SM to bring her position back.

I know there's no point crying over spilled milk, but I really hope the rest of the 8 members would breach the contract altogether and then all 9 of them move on to a new company to start fresh as SNSD again.

I suddenly have a thought. This year marks the last year of their 7-year contract and today is the last day of September which is a 9. Could it signifies that this year is the last year where SNSD is a full 9-membered team? Haha please excuse my randomness.

Ending here though~

I will still support SNSD no matter what.

From a sincere Sone~~~

This is their latest song: Divine, which is in Japanese. This is probably their last song together, as a 9-membered group. There might not be Jessica's voice anymore in their future albums. Kinda sad about this though~

Fairytale Feat. Happiness is simple! :)

This week is rather hectic, but fun, for me. I should just say every week is hectic for me. HAHA! Anyways, I had always been interested in hip-hop and finally I get to pick up some hip-hop skills due to a particular school event that is coming up next month! So SP-ians, be aware of some interesting events coming up in October. I am not suppose to say what it is about, but I am already giving hints, like a mysterious verbal teaser already.

I must say that hip-hop is really fun. Though it is tiring, you would realised that all the hard work are worth it when the audience are amazed by it. So really do look forward to it!

Speaking about hard work, I am really relieved that my hard work had paid off in the area of studies. I am a person who would prioritise my workload and rank the more important ones first. For the whole of 3 weeks, I really focus on study and followed by other stuff if my revision is done. Trust me, it's really very brain-wrecking and takes up a lot of brain space, but you have no choice but to put your heart in it if you want to score well.

I am actually not aware that the results would be released so soon. I just happened to check my e-mails and there is a notification saying that the results are out already. But just before I open it up and check, I actually told myself that no matter how my results were, as long as I tried my very best, I shouldn't have any regrets. The moment I opened it up, I immediately broke down and cried. I suddenly have the kind of feeling that tells me that my sacrifices are actually worth it, and that no matter how much things that had happened during that period, I could still prove myself to be worth the hard work. I cried for like 5-10 minutes because I just couldn't stop crying. :P

I have a friend that asked me," Why is it that you could score so well even when you have so many commitments to attend to, and when you are so busy every week?". With that, I replied with," The key is to prioritise your activities. When you set the determination that you want to do well, all the other distractions should be left out."

Leaving those matters aside, I went to help out at the regular welfare service today. The SP Welfare Club actually visits the elder care centre every Wednesday, except for exam period. People may wonder why I am actually joining so many events when I already have enough commitments to attend to. Well, CCA points aside, I would like to say we should actually help out the society with all that we could. Besides that, spending time with elderlies isn't that boring like what most people would say. Yes, I agree that we will have age gaps and that sometimes we can't understand what they want. But if you would take time and sit down with them to understand what they are going through, you would know why they will react the way they are. Right now, the culture of speaking dialects are rarely seen. Most kids are equipped with English speaking skills and the traditional dialect languages might disappear in the future. Wouldn't life be very dull if people only can speak one or two languages? Since I could speak a few dialect languages, I try to help out the welfare members by communicating with the elderlies with mostly hokkien. I just thought that if nobody speaks to the dialect-speaking elderlies, they would be very left out. I understand the feeling of being left out so I would want to include this bunch of people into the society as well. Maybe because I took care of my late grandfather before, I realised that I could actually empathise them and make effort to help them as well.

Today, I really see a lot of bright smiles illuminating from these elderlies' faces and I really felt that I am very happy today because I can feel that they really enjoyed themselves. If I could enlighten people with just a few hours of my time, I really don't mind because who knows, all these small little efforts might just change a person's life. I am really touched that after communicating with one aunty, she really remembers my words and repeats to me every week I see her around at the elder care centre.

So this is how brightly they smiled! Good nights! :)

Fairytale Feat. Arising Challenges: Struggle without regrets!

It's been quite awhile since I last updated. Really grateful for people who actually spend time to continue following my written pieces. Though it may be boring, but I really thank these people for bearing with me. So thank you to whoever out there, who had been constantly reading my blog and asking why I haven't been posting lately.

Recently, a few challenges had been handed over to me, all at once. Challenges occurs at very weird situations. When you are free, you would be super free. But when you are already very busy, you would have more and more commitments to attend to. However, I would try not to shy away from them and would accept them readily. The only moments that I would reject it, is when I know that my body can't take it anymore. Perhaps, that is why I am falling sick lately.

Just a question I asked myself. How long will your youth last? Once it's gone, it's gone for good and won't be back anymore. We need to cherish our youth period and achieve the most out of the whole period. We need to do this because we do not know what our tomorrow will be. Every one more day that we lived, is another day earned, because this is a gift given to you. So appreciate every brand new day that you wake up to, with a fresh piece of mind, knowing that your loved ones are fine.

Recently, I am growing fonder of going for short getaways, regardless of how long it will take. It is those tourism advertisements that caught my attention. Perhaps I am really busy and tired and hope to go for a short break. But I noticed that when I am busy, I wouldn't overthink too much of things that are actually unnecessary. When I am free, I would get very lonely and bored and I am not that type of person who would go crazy on computer games. I need a fresh life, not a life that revolves only around school and games.

If you ask me where is the place that I would want to visit the most, I would say it's definitely Maldives. I am definitely going there some time. Maybe in the future? I don't know, but I made a promise to myself that I want to go there and I would! I am the type of person who would made my wishes come true. I am loving there because I really love going to the beach. I love the sound of splashing tides and waves but I am really afraid of swimming pools because I was nearly drown to death when I was young. Very ironic, right? But I love the clear sea of Maldives, which I believed, would give me a clear mind when I am there.

Isn't all these beautiful? The life there should be very peaceful and stressless. AHH~~~~ How beautiful would it be, to at least visit this place for at least once in your lifetime. I am definitely saving up for this trip, not only for myself, but also for my parents, for I am really grateful for all those sacrifices they had made for me.

Also, I had received comments with regards to my recent instagram post. I definitely do not feel ashamed over guys doing housework. It's definitely nothing to be ashamed of! I am doing all these small little efforts because I want to lessen my parent's burden. I know I am busy but seriously, how long will mopping the floor take you? I completed within less than half an hour. If I complaining just because mopping the floor is very tough and tedious for me, then what about my mum who had been doing housework for the whole of her entire life? Shouldn't we, as children of our parents, spare a thought for them as well?

Lastly, I finally took on a hip-hop performance challenge offered by my religion, Singapore Soka Association! There is actually an upcoming performance known as the Youth Friendship for Peace(YFP),where our youth segment will perform hip-hop. Youthful is all about showing what you have got and developed through your life so far. So even though I am busy, I really wanted to challenge myself and grow from there even more. That's why I participated in this event. I am also asked if I am interested in doing the special segment. Guess what? It's contemporary dance! Haha. A lot of my comrades encouraged me to take it up cause' the main reason is that I am already a dancer right now. So I decided to further challenge myself aside from the new event that I had participated. But well, I guess my holiday is even more packed with activities aside from my already packed schedule!

Till the next time~~ Tada!

Fairytale Feat. Serenity

It's almost been a month since I last updated my blog. Been really busy with stuff like exam preparations, personal religious commitment, family outings and personal time. Finally, after balancing and preparing for 6 tremendous exam papers, I am done with Year 2 Semester 1. Recalling back, I could actually still remember how extremely worried I was about how I would fair for GCE O Levels. Time really flies, and here I am 2 years later, at the blink of an eye.

There is really a need to cherish the present moment, for it would not return when the moment had past. Sometimes I really realized that I had moved too fast as I wanted to keep up with this fast moving environment that I am living in. But is that really necessary? Is there a need to follow the majority? These are some of the questions that I would ponder about.

How I wished I could just live in cities where the environment isn't stressful and there are no judgmental people out there waiting to mock at us. My desire environment is to live peacefully along a beach, in a small white cottage with backyard and garden. Very fairytale kind of picture, huh? Well, everyone prefers different things and I just would prefer my fairytale to be written in my own way. So bitches, F*** OFF!

Though it's holiday right now, I still cannot enjoy it since my schedule is pretty much packed up. I would still find my own time to rest though. My kind of holiday would be to enjoy classical high tea session with my loved ones, listening to classical music pieces, in a retro-feel café.

Speaking about holidays, it started well with a chalet to mark the end of exams! Following the chalet was a surprised birthday celebration for Mr. Chen:). Spent days of brain cracking to think of gifts to give. Well, but all these are worth it! Hope the upcoming days of holiday would be a fun-filled one!!
