Hello folks, it feels like a long time since I wrote anything so here's a mini update post (I suppose). Life has gotten fairly busy for me since I've been working part time at a cake cafe near my place for the past 2 to 3 months. Though it was difficult in the beginning (with it being my first F&B job and all), I've gotten used to the operations by now. I've got to thank Mama Audrey for suggesting to me to try working at a cafe, because I would never have done so otherwise hahaha. It has honestly been a pretty good experience and I've met some amazing people as well.
I've also been in a slump (photography wise) for the past few months as well, which is why you don't see much photographs from me these days. I don't look at it as a bad thing, but more of a chance to take a break from taking photos for a while and do some other stuffs. I read a really good article by Eric Kim regarding this issue, and it helped me to sort out my thinking. So yes, I'm currently taking a break from photography. Of course, if I see something nice, I would still take a photo of it. I just don't go out of my way to go take photographs like before. Photography is about capturing the moments in life, and I may have forgotten that somewhere along the way. Hence this slump might be the perfect chance for me to remember this principle before I pick up my camera again.
I met my best friend recently and we were talking about how I'm into Twice these days (more on that later) when he told me that I'm synonymous with K-pop (among our friends of course); the first thing that comes to his mind when the word 'Sean' comes up is K-pop and vice versa. I realized one thing at that time, and it's that I've been so out of touch with the K-pop scene for the past year. I'm not sure when it started, but I'd been gradually losing interest in Korean music, dramas, and variety shows. In fact, I'd been losing interest in a lot of things. Maybe it's just a sign of growing up, or that I've lost the direction / purpose in my life. It's more likely the latter than the former haha. Regardless, I don't think that it's a good thing for one to lose interest in almost everything that one used to like. It is after all, a symptom of depression and should not be treated lightly.
I'm getting off track again, what I really wanted to say was that Twice (JYP's new girl group) has got me sucked right back in into the K-pop scene again. Ever since my bro, Chee Xiong showed me their "Cheer Up" music video in an attempt to cheer me up about two months ago, I've become a huge fan of theirs. It's a little far fetched, but in a way, I feel like Twice has saved me. I would probably be living my life like a zombie otherwise, with nothing to look forward to, and having no interest in anything. Well, I guess I'm still slowly trying to get my shit together. I'll just take it one step at a time, starting with Twice.
On a much much lighter note, Melvin brought me to this authentic Korean restaurant, "The Gogi", today after our 2.4 KM training. I had Tofu Jjigae and I just have to say this, it's honestly the best Korean food I've had in Singapore. I'm no foodie expert, so I don't have the right vocabulary to describe the food, but just know that it's different from the average Korean food you eat in Singapore. The soup actually has depth in its flavours, not just the taste of chili. Coupled with the fact that they give you 7 different plates of side dishes and a huge television screen broadcasting Korean variety shows, it's simply amazing. I know where I'm going from now on if I ever crave for Korean food.
Well, that's all for now folks.
