Welcome!

Hello people!

I'm Yiwen, your average 19 year old, a freshie-to-be in NTU, majoring in English (that means Literature, not Linguistics). I love to listen, read, write, discuss. COMMUNICATE! Yay, that's the word! Singing is my passion too. Recently, i begun feeling that little of my interests are given much play. So no room for improvement. Then i decided, enough! I'm going to start pursuing my dreams while I'm still young.

Days ago, I met an aunt who is a writer. (wee!) She's quite famous, i gather. The full name's Ms Yeo Siew Hoon, YSH for short. You can check out her website at http://www.thetransitcafe.com/. After conversations with her, she suggested that i start writing regularly, about anything and everything, to hone my writing skills and develop my own style. So yes. :)

Actually, i've been blogging for a few years already. But my blog has always been very private. I have this thing about err, privacy? I don't know. I blogged about really private issues. Family, crushes, and i mention names. So i'm not comfortable with people knowing, apart from my closest friends. It could be due to inferiority complex or a lack of self-confidence. Many find it hard to believe when i say i've got self-confidence problems because i'm so outgoing and social butterfly-ish. Haha. You'd see. But i'm much better now. I hope. And I've decided to create this blog. For everyone to read.

So what do i have to offer here? Just my opinion on stuff, mainly things i observe from everyday life, hmm maybe some controversial issues (when I feel like it), some occasional poetry or something. So yes, ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING is the key. You don't have to agree with me; I feel that life's more fun because difference exist. :) Constructive comments are most welcome. Inappropriate comments will be deleted/moderated. Feel free to link me up, and inform me to link you too!

I thought for some days, what can i write here? I'm not used to blogging for the public. I know, it's not an issue for most people. But to me, it is. How will i be judged? ahaha. But i found the answer this morning. I'd just blog the way I normally do, the yiwen-way. I call it being true to myself. And i'm no longer agraid of negative comments from others. Nagaticity fail to affect me anymore. :)

Apart from writing, I would like to sing too. I know I may not be good enough for everybody, but I know i am good enough for some people out there. After random thoughts of singing in a cafe or something, i've decided to go for the OceanButterfly vocal class auditions, and pick up professional singing. Expensive, definitely, but i think it would be worth it. From there, i'll see what i can do. If all else fails, hey, at least i've tried. Right?

Lol. This post is so not-me. Oh well.
Thank you for being here and i hope you too, are working towards your goal.
Goodnight world!
