My hair has officially faded to an ash-brown with blonde strands wtf. Bought purple shampoo and leave-in treatment but it might have been too late when I started. #firstworldproblems

Anyway, I went for my first concert starring Two Door Cinema Club with front row tickets! I was really lucky to have copped them months ago. And not surprisingly, I attended it with the person who got me into them in the first place. Woohoo. Had to miss one class for this, but it was totally worth it. Before the show, old dance/pop/hip hop songs were playing (including Darude Sandstorm, Eminem, some other catchy songs that I've heard countless times but don't know the titles to). Looking behind me at everyone else settling into their seats (the sad fans who be sitting on the upper balconies) was really quite a sight for a first-time concert goer. When was the last time I saw so many people gathered in one place for a common occasion?

Featuring... hands

Alex, Sam, and Kevin being awesome

Life has been eventful of late. Besides the start of school (which means loads of readings to be done), there was much catching up to do with friends old and new, besides the little side projects I've started on. I've been bleeding my bank account dry, and trying to stem the flow with a dose of self-control and a whip of rationality. Somehow, I'm feeling too lazy to write in proper paragraphs so I'm just gonna list out what has happened:

1. Took up a TA offer
2. Finished an intriguing book
3. Visited the National Museum of Singapore for that French exhibition
4. Attempted and failed to DIY ash grey hair
5. Visited a salon at FEP to salvage my hair and was rewarded with very pretty ashy green hair after 3+ hours and 2x bleaching blergh
6. Had an outing with an old friend
7. Got paid for Dec job
8. Had a coffee chat with one of my ex-professors
9. Emceed an event for the first time, albeit somewhat fail and super awkward
10. Bought more clothes from RWB's sale section
11. Bought face masks from Shopee
12. Sang with a band on stage (the vocalist's voice omg luv) (his music taste also luv)

Okay pictures time.

It's two days in and I finally decided to cave in to the trend of making a 'mandatory' post. Actually, I've been very distracted of late. Like, I literally forgot what I wanted to blog about *now*. I shall start by declaring that 2016 was an exciting and towards the end, a very refreshing year. Having done/learned many things for the first time, reconnected with old friends (networking can be a scary thing), made a ton of new ones, been to places here and there, it was quite the ride.

Here's to the year ahead: to better skin, better fitness, better relationships, better time management, improved cooking, better guitar skills and singing, more music, stronger resolve, grabbing all those opportunities which lay in my path, never letting go of my principles, and to becoming a brighter person than I ever was.
