Life as an RP student

I am a year one student studying Integrated Events Management in Republic Polytechnic. As I have mentioned earlier..I wanted to do Apparel Design & Merchandising in Temasek Polytechnic but I did not end up taking that.(the cut off points was 15,I got 19. I know I could've done much better..but that year was a year with too many bad things occurring and too many distractions) . Putting that aside, I am truly happy with where I am now..my aim is to achieve great results..

I love RP a lot..one of the reasons..this time round no popularity..laying real low..people do know me..just not a lot. I have my own group of friends..I love them to bits..one thing I don't quite like..is kinda the system..the problem based learning is cool..the daily quiz is also ok..but the Reflection Journal a.k.a RJ can be a pain in the butt. But all that is still ok..but the fact that you take 5 modules per semester (ok..),change classes every semester (why?!) and the worst part the possibility of not seeing your friends again is kinda frustrating and upsetting..my daily grades are generally ok..mostly A's & B's..but my GPA dropped especially after my marketing UT2,(per semester we have 3 major tests..the 3rd being the most important)..The current GPA is at 3.4..Fingers crossed first sem is nothing below a 3.5..

The best part during RP's orientation programme  would be making new friends and especially JAM & HOP! That is where I danced like I was clubbing bumped into great fun people like Laanya and her guy friends and also other girls like Shamala,Prita,Amrita and Khair. Super fun..totally the ideal people to club with haha! 

Ouh how can I forget my Team 11..a.k.a Rhythm Babies..my orientation group. Those people I met are fun..I'm not naming people..but there are some people that I honestly don't wanna see again..sorry for sounding like a spoilt brat who is super picky with my friends but..I don't really like to surround myself with 2-faced-people..too much drama! Not subtle enough for me to handle! Haha anw..regardless it was nice knowing everyone.

So now..I'm gonna talk abt my beautiful class..the 25 of us..out of which 24 are girls.. I've grown so close to them. They've seen me go thru ups & downs..crazy antics and mischievous mayhem.

My Modelling Journey...

“The secret to modeling is not being perfect. What one needs is a face that people can identify in a second. You have to be given what’s needed by nature, and what’s needed is to bring something new.” ― Karl Lagerfield-

Ever since I was a kid, modelling has always been my passion. I also wanted to take up fashion designing (which was why my first choice for the poly course selection was Temasek Polytechnic's Apparel Design & Merchadising)..Although I am thanking all my lucky stars that I did not end up there as I may not have liked it.. I have participated in several modelling competitions and even modeled for several people. Throughout this journey, I have met amazing people and cherish the experience I have encountered.

In 2011, I got a Facebook message from my friend Waanie inviting me to participate in the Elite Model Look. I honestly had no idea Singapore actually had Elite! O.O! I was super stoked. With much convincing with my mum, I brought a pair of heels and went down to Ion. In the end Waanie didn't turn up (Probably because she did not meet the height requirement for Elite which was a minimum of 170cm).

I know a lot of Singaporeans would complain saying that this is not fair as Asians espeacially Singaporean girls are majority in the height range of 150-165. But the thing is Elite is an international modelling agency and moreover it is the top modelling agency as the world's top earning model Giselle Bundchen who earns $42 million is from that prestigious agency. (Modelling don't come easy..moreover definitely not in Singapore)

I made a few friends..some made it to the finals with their looks and catwalking ability. (I was surprised that I made it to the semi-finals although it was my first time strutting..On the bonus part I was the only Indian haha) There were only about 2 Singaporean Chinese girls and 1 China Chinese girls who made it to the finals (top 12) the rest were all mixed blood. Some girls participated in this competition as they were on their holidays. After this, they went back to their countries like Germany & Texas.

The girls I befriended..the nicer less bitchier ones haha

These were the pretty ladies I met through my Elite Journey..

I was offered a contract by Elite. My mum being the traditional mum (who thinks modelling = nudity just like Sakthiish..haish) did not sign it..so I technically "threw" my contract away and lost a HUGE opportunity to have been in the modelling industry..

Well, everything happens for a reason right?

In my next blog..I'll talk about my modelling journey, the 2nd part..hehehe

High School

 Life as a CCKSian..yes I was from Chua Chu Kang Sec

 The experience I had in CCKSS was amazing. Yes, my teachers did help me academically and all..(like Mr Melvin Kong, Mr Loy PP, Mr Rick Chan, Ms Cindy Low,Ms Low Hui Shan, ,The OM,Mr Haniffa,The VP, Mr Steven Tay, Mr Zhang,Mr Lui Meng Whye..etc) But honestly, most of them were nice teachers but no one really shaped me..throughout a child's teenage years, the people that really shape them would be his or her friends.

I was surrounded by this lovely group of people. I had many friends..sadly popularity struck me again when I stood up to this step ah-beng guy..it lost me my position as a prefect, but I knew what I did was right..His behavior was unacceptable. The way he treated teachers, cleaners and his peers. I did not fight him of course. HELL NO! I would've gotten punched so hard, I would not have been able to complete my O's. All I did was talk to him nicely. (He was so taken aback as the people who usually talk to him are the ones who start a fight or 3/4 of the school is to afraid to even go anywhere near him). Losing my title was nothing as after this incident, I apparently placed myself in a very safe zone. (my friends talked to me, random people did..okay..but the gangsters did not pick on me at all. When my friend wanted to drink from the water cooler..this guy,Nabil, who got suspended for bashing a guy up in the toilet,shoved her. But when I was queuing up behind, he called me over to let me drink..kinda weird tbh.)

After being deemed as a "popular" kid in pri and sec school, I decided I wanted to lay really low in poly. And that's exactly what I'm doing..I kinda like it..but that is for another blog..hehe, okok now back to my friends.

The Clique..Feroz was doing his AVA stuff

I can't wait to see them!!! Soo many stories to share.. HEART SHAPES ALL OVER FOR YOU BABES!

We have been through tears, sweat, blood (no joke) and even you guys have endured me fainting and all..I will always love y'all and treasure the beautiful yet rather peculiar memories we share.

Our fav game,Catch It In Yo Mouth..( we were throwing and catching grapes)

The Best Night Of My Life..2012 Graduating Prom!

In my clique, none of us were in a relationship, so we decided to go as a group. We thought it'd be weird but even from most classes, people went as groups! Shahira won for Prom Queen! You go Girl! And Luqman for Prom King..congratz (although we were rooting for Herman and Feroz). The ladoes kicked their heels and we shook what our mama's gave us like mad! We Worked It! The dancefloor was sadly only for an hour..(hardcore club music..set fire to thr rain and titanium all ended with EWAK EWAK EWAK in the chorus..) Best Part, Sing Yi's mum booked us a room at Resorts World and she, Michelle, Thiha and I stayed for a night..the next day we wanted to go to USS..but it was too expensive..we ended up roaming around and even played the Luge!After that, swimming and pool at Sing Yi's condo..well..that's all for now!

LOVE Y'ALL MY 1/4,2/4,3,7 & 4/7 babies..... CATCH UP SOON OKIE?!
