When Alive Museum first hit the shores of our sunny island, I was so excited!!! I've seen my friends post pictures of their visit to Alive Museum during their trips to Korea and I've always loved looking at their pictures and guessing where are the tricks! Better than that, this time I got to experience the real thing! :O When I first learned that I have the opportunity to visit Alive Museum, I jumped at the opportunity hehe.


Basically, Alive Museum uses special 3D painting techniques to create realistic paintings that tricks the eyes so that visitors can enjoy the art pieces like never before. What makes Alive Museum in Singapore special is that they have nine locally themed masterpieces that are unique in Singapore!

Not only that, Alive Museum works hard at making every visit enchanting and unique so they change about 30% of the paintings every 12-18 months. This means that you can visit the museum every year and you'll get a new experience every time! They also have special exhibits displayed during special occasion like Christmas and Chinese New Year. If this is not dedication, I don't know what is. :O

Now that I'm done with the introduction, let me take you through a magical journey *hahhahaah so cliché* *cringes so hard I faint* 








 





















When I showed the set of photos to my boyfriend, he looked at this photo for really long and asked if the teeth are in 3D! That's how authentic looking the paintings are and I'm so impressed by them O.O




























So after going through the museum, what's my verdict?

IT'S AWESOME!!! It's every bit as amazing and magical as I expected it to be and I enjoyed myself so much. The pictures were relatively easy to take with the guides around and there were a few part-timers around to help us take photos or to guide us if needed.

What I'm showing here is only a fraction of what they have so you really have to head down and experience it yourself!

But do take note that:

1) It's gonna take you quite long to finish exploring the whole museum so don't reach there too late! I reached at around 8:30pm because I had prior school commitments and I was the last customer to leave at 10pm :X We had to rush through most of the exhibits at the back and the nicer exhibits are the ones behind so we didn't get to take a lot of photos with them :-(

2) Unlike some reviews I read online, it wasn't exactly VERY crowded there but we do have a couple of people walking into our pictures every now and then. Other then that, it was relatively empty and we had the freedom of making stupid faces wtf.

Then again, make stupid faces even if it's crowded anyway because everyone's there to have fun and nobody's gonna judge you for doing the same thing as them! After all, we are there to have fun and get great pictures right? ^~^

3) It is advisable to wear shorts instead of skirts because there's gonna be lots of jumping, laying around and climbing!

4) It took me quite long to find Alive Museum because I'm not familiar with the Suntec City area but if you are, it is easily located!

The museum operates from 10am to 10pm daily (last admission at 9pm) but as mentioned, you should go earlier to avoid being disappointed by the lack of time as the museum is rather big and one hour is definitely not enough for you to finish exploring the place!

Special thanks to Alive Museum for the tickets! :-)

You remind me so much of who I used to be when I was 13. In time to come you'll see why the things you think matter so much now don't matter in the end. You'll see why I say your worries are irrelevant and why I refuse to think the same way as you do.

I don't care who you are. So what if you are close to me? You don't fucking intrude my privacy like that. You had no rights to do that without my permission. No fucking rights.

This is why they say being book smart means nothing in our ever-changing society. Nothing at all. For someone to tries so hard, I really thought you'd know better. Boy, I couldn't have been more wrong.

You see, anyone with a modicum of common sense would know it wasn't the right thing to ask. Nor was it at the right time or the right place. So why would you do that?

To defend your actions by saying that you only are helping me? Care to explain how the fuck were you "helping me"? If I don't give a fuck about that issue, why should you? Why would you care about it more than I do?

Your excuse is invalid. So fucking invalid.

Fuck you.

Fuck you and your assuming ass.

Fuck you for thinking you are better than all the rest.

Here's another hearty fuck you to you.

Today in summary:


I hope it worth it.

I hope it was so worth it.

This is one of those days when I log into Blogger, having completely no idea what I'm gonna write about but I just feel like filling up this space before school gets real busy for me. School has been hectic, as always. But I love what I'm doing and it keeps me going.

Today, I received back my Advertising module's proposal that I've been working REALLY REALLY hard for. To be honest, I was very nervous about receiving the results because throughout the project, I've been really stubborn and quite bossy :x I knew my idea was good but I was absoluteeeeely anxious about the project since it would be my fault if we didn't do well. And I haven't been doing well at school at all :-(

But surprise!!! We did a lot better than I expected!!!!!! I was aiming for an A but at the same time, preparing my ass to get just a B+ because I felt that there was a few elements I missed out in the print ads but my lecturer actually said my ads were very creative and FLAWLESS! I remember clearly that we scored a 9.5/10 for it omfg. I was so happy I could die :')

I also redesigned the packaging of the product we are doing on and my lecturer said the new packaging is awesome! Not only that, she praised our radio ads and our TV commercial, calling them really hilarious and telling us she had a great time marking. Our creative brief and consumer sales promotion design were well done too and we got almost full marks for everything!!!

I appreciate my group mates who went my way and tolerated me when I was very pushy with my ideas and I'm grateful that they trusted the designing of the print ads in my hands. And I'm so satisfied that we worked together, created a really adorable TVC and radio commercial. Everything worked out so perfectly in the end!

Okay, I know people are probably expecting photos of our campaign but because this project is still on-going, my group mates and I have decided that we will only upload the photos after our final presentation! Hopefully we'll continue to do well hehe.

Anyway, in Mass Communication in Ngee Ann Poly, we get to choose a specialisation in Year 3 and I have somewhat already decided that in Year 3, I want to specialise in Advertising & Public Relations but doing well in this module affirms my choice even more.

Four years ago, when I first chanced upon Mass Comm while randomly researching on polytechnic courses, I would have never imagined myself taking this path. Even after getting my JPSAE results, I assumed that I would go to Mass Comm and do some writing or something along those lines. Back then, my dream was actually to be a journalist *cringes so hard right now thinking about News Writing*.

But today, I can never be more pleased and contented at where I am at. I may not have the highest GPA, but I know I am good at something and that's good enough for me.

I am truly, truly thankful for everyone that helped me along the way because I couldn't have done it alone.

You know those nights when you lie awake, unable to fall asleep? Yea, I'm feeling that now. Millions of thoughts racing through my mind keeping me awake. All my insecurities eating me up.

About three years ago, I told myself I have to love myself before anyone else can love me. I bought a pink notebook and on the first page, I wrote "Things I Love About Myself". Today, the page remains empty. Hard as I tried, I just can't find anything about myself to love.

Am I smart? No.
Am I pretty? No.
Am I funny? No.
Am I talented? No.
Am I cute? No.

Yea, I seem like a strong girl when I'm replying hate questions on my ask.fm. But the truth is, how many times can you endure people telling you that you're not good enough before you believe them?

Despite the strong front I tend to put up, I'm extremely sensitive and insecure. A lot of times, I need reassurance. Reassurance that people love me, that I'm good just the way I am, that I don't need to be smarter/prettier/cuter, that I don't have to be different, that I don't have to change for anyone to love me. I need to be reminded again and again that whoever I am, I'm good enough.

But people forget.

They forget because I refuse to let them see this side of me that I keep it to myself. They think it's okay to tease me because I simply smile along with them.

Eventually, I let everyone's words get to me.

"Why are you so fat?"

"So-and-so looks so much better than you."

"When are you going to become prettier?"

"Why can't you dress more like so-and-so?"

"Can't you fix your teeth?"

"Hey, what happened to your face? why are you so ugly?"

"When are you going to change your fashion sense?"

I know you don't mean it, but that's not important. It is how I feel that is important. And I feel it. With every atom in my body, I agree with whatever you've said, even if you were just kidding.

I feel it day and night. I feel every bit of me breaking with every passing day. All the "what if"s, all the "why me". Everything. 

I let myself think the worst of me and I let these voices taunt me. I cannot remember when was the last time I gone a day without wishing I wasn't me. I cannot emphasise enough how much I hate myself, especially on nights like these.

I'm sorry I'm this emotional.
I'm sorry for being such a loser.
I'm sorry I'm not the best.
I'm sorry I'm no one special.

And most of all,
I'm sorry I'm me.

I'm sorry.
I'm so fucking sorry.

I shoot my mouth off a lot and I hurt the people around me. I don't mean it, and sometimes I don't even realise it. I can be so blur and so oblivious to my surroundings that I can't even believe myself. And when I finally see it, it's already too late.

I think what I fail to understand is that I have a blog to say whatever the hell I want but I have to be responsible for my words and actions. I'm a media student yet I neglect that a lot. From young, my mom has always taught me that words can break someone and I should never throw my words around carelessly. Somehow, after all these years, I haven't learn.

Maybe it's true that the only way you learn is by falling and experiencing the pain yourself. Just this week alone showed me that no matter how little I think my voice is, it affects people all the same. That my writings have the power to change my life. That whatever I post can come back and haunt me.

It's the same online as it is offline - I can't take back what I've said. Once the words leave my mouth, they leave forever.

i am nothing but an option to you yet
i always left you as my priority.
i hope that one day you'll be
the one left in the rain to
wait so you will know
how i really feel but
maybe when that
day comes it
will be late.
all too
late.
