hey guys! It's been a fairly long time since I kinda, yknow, properly *blogged* so just decided to pop by and say hi! To be honest, writing hasn't been playing that big of a role since I had entered Uni because school just takes up a huge bulk of my time, and my assignments and commitments take up the sparing little breathers I get - which leaves me little to no alone time, per se. Alone time being time to chill and properly relax before launching myself full-force into my pile of work. But anyway, I think it was kind of fated? I'm using kind of right now because I'm not entirely sure how to describe this situation, but ok let me just give you guys a brief rundown of what basically happened today (lol).
It's friday right? So I finish my Japanese class, book out merrily, and plop myself down on my rolly-chair in my room and start surfing the Internet (ok, Youtube). And oops, I guess this is when you discover my ruse that um, I actually *may* have some pockets of spare time but I just decide to squander it wastefully on watching distasteful Youtube videos instead of studying and blogging. Lol. But ok I digress. So I was like watching Naomi's videos (lel) since I missed it a couple of days ago when I saw speishi's video and yknow how the Youtube spiral goes, right? You click on a video and a related video that's pretty interesting pops up and you venture into a whole new universe. So I somehow really randomly stumbled upon this other Singaporean Youtuber whom I have no clue about and oh my god I am so freaking thankful I found her??????
She's like basically #goals la tbh but not in like those fitspo kind, but more of like personality, character, class and attitude? If you get what I mean? And not to mention since she's studying Theatre and stuff her English is like *on point* and I honestly enjoy her storytelling videos immensely to the point that I binged watched like all of them plus her other videos like hauls and whatnot.
And ok if you guys know me well enough, I tend to get very easily influenced and by very, I mean honestly really super intense very. So because I've watched like basically 3-5 hours worth of her videos, I'm quite influenced by her now in terms of her speaking? And it made me realise oh my god I haven't been practising my art of writing (lol) or like tried articulating my words as clearly and as engagingly as her.
So... here I am. Blogging after what seems like eons but I'm really glad I quickly opened my tab to pen this down? I think writing is such an art that is so underrated nowadays and it deteriorates so quickly that if you stop writing for even perhaps a week, your skills just get dull and blunt and you spend like a month to polish it up again. Does this mean that I'm going to blog frequently from now on? Err, maybe? Maybe not? I don't know if my schedule allows it (lol ok I'm making excuses again) and honestly writing requires you to get in the mood. If you have no mood for writing, your piece, no matter what it is, is going to turn out shite and you wouldn't like it and you just wonder to yourself, why the heck did I publish that or why the hell did I write it in that state of mind????? But ok ok I digress again. I'm just honestly super glad that I got back into writing (although I'm still unsure about how brief this writing bout is going to last me but I definitely hope long enough for me to get my mojo back) and that I can finally call this space mine again.
To all my friends and occasional random readers, all the best in whatever you're doing in life right now! Yay. Imma end it now. Byeeeeee

Situated in the sunny island of Singapore, Jolene recently (is 2 years considered recent?) graduated from university and is now working in a job she never expected herself to hold. Besides having frequent quarter-life crises, she also indulges in video games, anime, and aesthetic korean girls documenting their life in vlogs.
Although not as eloquent with words, she still aims to try her best to bring across her thoughts to the Internet.
