I spent 6 years of my life in pri sch to be smart , doodling Linkin park , MTV logos , adding mustache on faces in the text book , mobbed at people who scored badly for PSLE and i end up in Normal academcis , went through 4 years of shit every single damn day in secondary school , get into troubles , draw from textbook to paper to tables to everyone elses body parts and exam papers , not doing homework , constantly failing my grades , chasing the same girl for the past 2 years , to staying back almost everyday school to complete my N level art and be the only art student that got A ? Scored 15 point that blown away peoples mind and choose not to take O level . Decided to go ITE to develop drawing skills in animation , spent 2 years developing my own master pieces from 9am to 5pm everyday , invest in painting , end up people looked down on me even until now even after i graduate . 2013 , got 3 exhibiton in a role , Came to NAFA got a scholarship , too much work that i almost lost my sense of purpose , stayed in school until night , not even been able to do my own persnonal works , lost my health spent almost $300-$500 on my materials in a single year . AND YOU ALL TELL ME NOT TO PAINT AND GET A JOB AND EARN SOME MONEY??? Let me tell you all something , the biggest passion i have is Art , i myself did not realise it until i look back and reflect at my life and undertstand that true happiness and joy was when i was drawing and painting and it was the only consistent thing i was doing . I was so happy at the beginning of my new journey painting almost everyday and trying ro understand more of myself and what i can do and then i sw the wrold in the whole new perspective ...i found many opportunities ,i started to dream and started to works towords it ....and i saw and feel this world from a different perspective . After all this years of making friends and meeting people , all i observe was people working for money , and most of them are not doing what they like , all they want is to be in a respectable position , impress people , checking out on celebrities and at the end of the day they still do not know what to do with their life . Some even mock me for my ambitions and dreams , but i just smile because i know that they will not understand it until they step out of their bubbles . But it made me realise , the key to find a meaningful life is your passion and dreams to do the impossible . On the other hand i realise that education can be the biggest problem , the most critical thing it can rob you of is your sense of purpose , it can drown your passion as you stress , and student can graduate to be either more brave or more coward , more passionate or more paranoid or aimless ... why?mi assume the school care about their reputation , get credits and dont give a shit about a student life . Its retarded that you pay them to suffer ..for what? GPA and a cert ...and i am part of it...because once again...WELCOME TO SINGAPORE...you need a cert to be a fine art artist ...but i had no choice , i did rather to been thrown by shit then to pick up the shit , to be wise . Which leads me to reviving my once most ridiculous dream , which is to open an art school(not buisness) with reasonable fee and serve a new kind of experience and privillege service to a human being . Dont ask me how , God give me a brain of course ...but if this is the right and humble thing to do then money is not at waste , everyone deserve to learn , to have hope and to do what they like and all they need is someone that can give them the courage and support them . Anyway , we must know we cannot live forever , neither do we know of the future , but the only thing we can do is to make each day that brings you hope , joy and happiness to spread and help the person beside you ... and at the end of the day , all of you can say you dont regret it .
