._. hm

lol what's this thing you're talking about.. sleep?

To remain optimistic, it's a great thing. Before this, there was basically just local TV, and that was as far as locally produced content can go. But with YouTubers, not only is it great to see more original content, personalities and ideas coming out, but it comes out unfiltered, and raw. It's what isn't offered on a traditional platform.

Should there be more vloggers. I guess so. The blog scene in Singapore is particularly healthy, but if we could invest some time, effort, and inevitably, some resources and money into vlogging, I'm sure the public will take notice of this. Look at CTFxC. They've been doing it for years now, and it's just their lives documented on a daily basis. What if we could have that within a Singaporean context? With a decent personality, I'm sure our local community will be kaypoh enough to support and subscribe to such content.

A small community. I wouldn't say yes. More people would mean it's more diverse, meaning more Singaporeans will get to be able to choose what kind of content they want to follow. And the content producers will get to learn, interact, and more importantly, collaborate with each other. We're probably not going to stay small. This is barely the first year into the YouTube trend in Singapore.

As a general thought, in my very over-enthusiastic and unprofessional opinion, we're off on a decent start. Right now, I think there's just a need to step up .. on formatting.

I mean, it's great to see people uploading videos every week, day, every once in 3 days, idk. But would we rather see so-and-so releasing 3 videos every week at random times, or would we rather see so-and-so releasing just one video, with a fixed format, at a specific time? The audience needs to know what to expect, and then they can follow, and eventually have a better reason to stay subscribed for more content that so-and-so can produce.

Also, because of its prominence and (surviving) influence with the masses, YouTubers need to stay in-tuned and receptive towards more traditional media. Local media needs to take note of these personalities coming up on YouTube, and I'm sure they already have.. there's a need to show off YouTubers to the public. And at the same time, YouTubers need to be receptive towards such opportunities. Maybe at this point in time, the opportunity is low, but give it till maybe June this year, I'm sure more changes will happen.

That's my very very very very very long 2 cents worth.

lol uh I hope you're asking this to the right person. I'm not a very good person for advice lol so whatever you're going to read past this paragraph, take it with a pinch of salt.

Okay, in my opinion, if you already know there's a 'problem' with something or someone that's important to you, I don't think you're going to remain 'oblivious' to a problem. You'll probably be thinking about it, picturing what would things be like without the problem, picturing it the way you want it to be. Maybe you might not eventually do something about it, but you definitely won't remain oblivious to it...

I think you have to ask yourself how bad is this problem. Don't try to fix this problem for the sake of feeling good about fixing it. Address it because without addressing it, it would be a worse situation. And worse, not just for you, but for others around you as well. Don't be selfish in your decisions, although.. I'm not really one to comment on that haha.

I'm guessing this 'problem' has got to do with "the person"... not being honest with you... I think it needs a lot of thought. Who says honesty is going to fix your problem? It might cause so much more problems in the process.

Not in specific. I miss going to school actually. Being on medical leave for so long... doesn't feel right. Staying at home all day is shitty, really. You don't know what's happening outside, you don't... move at the same pace your friends are moving. Somehow even though I'm not close to everyone, there's a need to see as many people as I can to just know what's life like for everyone else.
So maybe I don't miss anyone, but I sure miss everyone haha

Really depends on who I'm talking to, isn't it .________.

Learning something, accomplishing something, making a good video. And yet on the contrary, I find contempt in the lack of pressure from the world and my peers.

Once Upon a Time! It's super good. Was watching it for inspiration for an assignment. Sadly it's a fantasy story and I can't apply much of it but holy cow it's got a good storyline.

Woah. Uh do I think I'm brilliant. Not really .___. I'm getting less brilliant by the day I think.. haha laziness is crawling in on me. And do I think I should be the best.. hmm.. I used to want to strive for this. Like very badly: to always be the best at everything I'm doing. Of course, the feeling of being at the top of your game is very rewarding, but maintaining it is helluva stressful, even if no one seems to be stressing you out, it stil is. So at this point, no, I don't think I should be the best. It's not a place for me.

Alamak I answer this a bit too late haha

Sad public transportation...

eh damn cute leh~

Oink yes.

Nutella.

I just saw Basic Instinct the other day. Amazing show.

Hell. No.

A lot. Like, seriously. A lot.

Very irregular sleeping hours..

I think it's which part of it needs to be changed. I wouldn't say the whole thing is screwed up. Things like, having tests for Civics and Moral Education (ikr?) just need to be turned around... And, idk about other schools, but I feel that we need to put more emphasis on Art subjects. I grew up with a mentality that Science and Math subjects stand superior to Art and Humanities subjects, but really there's no such thing. Also, I personally feel that there should be a revision in the Chinese language syllabus. Not that I'm one to say (I took CLB for 'O' Levels), but I just feel that if you want to get people to study the language, you need them to be interested in it too. Not by getting students to recite random extracts of prose, and old fairytales over and over again. Culture and language go hand in hand, but you don't have to shove the whole history of China into a student's face. Anyone would be bored to death. This is just in my opinion as a student that gave up learning the language almost entirely.

But apart from those, the education system seems alright, just that maybe they should try to be more flexible in letting students take up the subjects they'd like to learn. Of course, with such demands, they would need more resources, and I think the hardest-to-get resource would be manpower/teachers. There should be more incentives for teachers. They do a whole lot more than we imagine.
