April is over already, and May is here. Has 5 months since my interview with OAL passed that quickly? I remember a few significant things that have happened, and honestly, it’s been awesome. I got my driver’s license, and even sat for the IELTS exam. Gotten the results in the post when i arrived home from Hong Kong, luckily it was good news, and something for me to be really happy about.

So i was walking home yesterday and i started thinking again. Thought about where i am right now, and what i’m actually doing with my life. No doubt, i’m all excited to begin a new phase of life in London, explore the world, start new adventures, and do what i love doing. But my brain was telling me “are you really doing what you love?” I’m pretty sure i am. I feel happy being at where i am now. I settled down at home at my desk, and all i wanted was to draw out what i was feeling.

People have been asking me, if i regretted leaving NTU. At the moment, i don’t. I definitely am happier, and i feel like i don’t have so much of a burden. I remember when i used to hide in hall and be really sad because i got a terrible room mate, i felt terrible then too because of the course i was in, and i hated it so much but no one understood. I tried to accept the very fact that i couldn’t get myself in Visual Communication, which was basically the very reason why i enrolled into NTU. But it was difficult, and it made me really upset in school which wasn’t very healthy for my body. But for the good of it, i did make really good friends in NTU which makes me sad because i’m leaving soon.

I guess, all that i have to say is, do what you love.

If you could do what you love, then you’ll love what you do. Things will work out for you. I realised that ever since i made up my mind to talk to my parents about how school was for me, and how i wanted out, i became heaps happier and definitely mentally stronger. I became more confident of who i was after i applied for London College of Communication, as i knew there and then the direction i wanted in life. Though sometimes in life things don’t exactly work out, it’ll tide over. And if it doesn’t, find yourself a new goal in life to look towards to. Right now while waiting for school to start in 4 months, i’ve been hopping around agencies freelancing; gaining new experiences & learning new things everyday. I meet new people with every change of agencies, and it’s making me feel like there’s alot more that’s out there waiting for me. Plus with the support of my family and boyfriend, i feel even stronger at heart to just do it, and make the most out of my study in London.

So yes, i’m doing what i love. & i’m loving every second of it.
