Dear Class of 2018, I believe that this word has been thrown a lot in the last 2 days, but congratulations. Congratulations, as I have told some of you, cannot do justice and cannot accurately summarize the hard work, blood, sweat, and tears you guys have shed over the last 6 years, but it is the least I can wish for all of you as your senior.  A graduate from the Class of 2016 mentioned that one is normally closest to the batch above and below them. I was not very close to the Class of 2016, but I tried (and I hope I succeeded) to get close to the Class of 2018. I have had the honour of working for y'all in many ways, such as my (unsuccessful) Student Council Application and SEP Inbound from Ritsumeikan, through Math Interest Group, MUNs and SDYC (yes I wasn't in OT, I know, but still loved interacting with you guys), Japanese Class, Drama Club, SEP to John Monash, and as a Boarding Leader just last year. Your batch has struck me to be one that is very hardworking, dr...

Last week saw an interesting poll battle for my viewers between a post on my Driving Journey or a book review on "Tall Order", a biography of Former Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong. Despite an initial close fight, the Driving Journey voters overcame the "Tall Order", and I will be writing on the former. For readers who wish to know my views on "Tall Order", I may blog on it some time next month (partially cus I haven't finished reading it yet, haha). So here we go, part 1 on my journey to the license. Part 1: Motivation, Registration, Theory MOTIVATION I had my sights set on the License for a very long time, even before I turned 18. It was something that I thought was not only a necessary life skill, but an important one as it could save lives some day. However, I did not get to learn it previously for two reasons. The first being my schedule was packed with school, NUS Modules, Uni Applications, Grad Trips, and the PSC Internship before ...

Last week, I gave an Instagram Poll on whether I should continue blogging on current affairs, or blog on personal thoughts. The poll largely tilted for personal thoughts, hence I will write on a more personal tone this time. I took in suggestions from my viewers, some suggestions (and my responses) are below Suggestion:"Something kids these days won't understand/relate to" Response: Uh, okay but I'm not that old... S: "How you did not qualify for Cambridge" R: I may blog on my uni applications to aid my juniors some time later this year (in December), but Cambridge may not be something I want to discuss in detail. To whoever suggested this though, you may enjoy today's post. S: "Your life in OETI/TTMSB" R: This would be a good topic, but it would not be professional of me to publicly air my dirty laundry against colleagues or my superiors.  S: "Your weight/love life/girls" R: This would also be a good topi...
