I guess I've reached the age where I want to establish something in my life. Being a national athlete used to be the main/sole objective of my secondary school and JC years. I'd always wanted to train really hard to represent Singapore in international competitions. Then I had the opportunity to do so with waterpolo, and after 2 years, I realised that although being a national athlete has its perks, commitment and training 4-5 times a week, on top of school, is hell. Maybe if I even liked the sport, it wouldn't be so bad. Soon I came to terms with the fact that the reason I stuck with waterpolo for 2 years was because I wanted to be a national athlete. Well, that novelty soon wore off and I knew that waterpolo isn't what I wanted. Quitting was hard initially because a part of me still yearned for the prestige and glory, but I learnt that what's most important is that I have to have the passion for it. So I quit, and with it came the end of my sports days. I won't say that it was easy adapting back to life without any training to attend because I've always had something to train for, be it swimming or waterpolo or badminton, eversince I was 11. Quitting opened my eyes to a new phase of my life which now revolved solely around school. I'd admit it felt empty at first. At present, I've arrived at another phase of my life - music. This came pretty unexpectedly because I've never considered myself a music person. Sure I've played the guitar since I was 14, but only until I picked up bass 2 years back, that I realised that this might actually be something that I'd like, and something which I want to take to another level. So at present, my band-search is still ongoing. What I want is the opportunity to be able to perform in gigs, as well as an avenue for improvement. I have another 2 more "interviews" with 2 other bands. Hopefully in time to come, I'd find the right one to belong to. Play Sudoku
