Ironically, I don’t like this obsession of mine. It has led me to focus on myself and not think about others. In a way, I don’t feel connected to the world. I feel lonely. I feel like I’m the only one in this battle. Perhaps I’m afraid that people will probably look down on me. This obsession has led me to have higher expectations on myself. William Shakespeare once said that “ Expectation is root of heartaches”. Sometimes I wonder why am I fighting so hard to hold on when I’ll be set free when I let go...I feel so heavy yet empty...I feel like I’m drowning in the Atlantic Ocean—with no one to save me...]]> 2018-01-18 03:27:04 UTC https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/222290124 https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/222290224 2018-01-18 03:28:06 UTC https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/222290224 https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/222290745    I am obsessed with pillows. They come in different sizes and shapes and bring vibrancy and life to a dull room. Pillowcases with different textures are used as decorative pieces. They are also soft and fluffy which bring warmth and comfort to my heart. Pillows can be filled with different types of paddings - feathers, foam and even rubber. Most pillowcases are designed with patterns for example, chevron and tessellation. Others only have one colour that give the room a minimalistic look. Pillows can be used for head and neck support or for emotional support.
 During one of my camps, Macy brought her favourite pillow. It was a rectangular pillow with colourful paint splattered all over. She mentioned that it was one of her many do-it-yourself projects with her mother before she passed away. The pillow had a story of its own. The smell of her mother filled her nose every single time she hugged the pillow tightly. Even a pillow can evoke such strong emotions!]]> 2018-01-18 03:32:25 UTC https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/222290745 https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/222321825 2018-01-18 07:58:52 UTC https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/222321825 https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/223728853 I am obsessed with korean stars.A group called wannaone just debuted last year after surviving in a variety show titled " produce 101 season 2".They visited Singapore last year just before my end-of-year and rumored to come back this July. I admired them for their vocals and attitude towards life. This is followed by another group called stray kids who chased their dreams and managed to produce a pre debut album last week . Do listen to " hellevator" and " energetic" :)]]> 2018-01-23 12:09:43 UTC https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/223728853 https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/223766412 I am obsessed with documentaries. My interest can vary from National Geographic’s documentaries on nature to a psychological review of serial killers. Sometimes I would laze on the couch for hours, binge watching documentaries. They give me a deep insight on the topic, such as providing us with specific dates, accurate timelines and evidences found.]]> 2018-01-23 13:54:14 UTC https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/223766412 https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/224038171 I am obsessed with books. I like to read mystery, suspense and horror books. I find such books more interesting than romance novels. However, one exception is that I do read books about poems. I think that the writers are very brilliant in being able to weave words together so beautifully to make the book enjoyable to read. I would recommend books by Lang Leav. The poetry books she wrote are so impactful that even after I read the book, I cannot get enough of it and it stays in my mind for a long time.]]> 2018-01-23 22:28:46 UTC https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/224038171 https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/224038594 I am obsessed with music. I especially like to listen to classical pieces for piano such as Pachelbel’s Canon In D, Yiruma’s River Flows In You, Yiruma’s Kiss The Rain and many more. I also listen to fingerstyle guitar songs such as The Milky Way by Sungha Jung.These masterpieces of music are able to tell a story, without a single word being sung in them and even bring about emotions, particularly, Yiruma’s Time Forgets. I also listen to such songs while studying as they have the ability to relaxthe mind. Sometimes, I would listen to them until they are drilled in my memory, making music an obsession of mine. ]]> 2018-01-23 22:30:31 UTC https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/224038594 https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/224043394 I have a confession to make. I have an obsession with heroin. To those that might protest, it ain't a good one, I know. God knows how many times I tried to quit. Unfortunately, it was too late by then. I had become an addict, jonesing for more and more heroin. Oh, just so you know, I would have sold my life to the devil, just for the feeling of the syringe entering my body, the chemicals bringing me into a state of euphoria. The high, oh, the high! Its just so addictive. Then it ends, like everything else in my life, crashing... And suddenly, I'm plagued by reminders of how terrible my life is - homeless, dirty, cashless... Then I become a mindless creature, anything, I would have given anything for that little syringe of chemicals again. For everything to get better. For me to just... Live.

But its bad for my body, I know that. I have red eyes, suffer from both insomnia & AIDS. But hey, I don't know what to do. Don't judge. People tell me to quit, but they dont know the pull. I do. Its been my whole life. I gave up my house, my car, my life savings, and my relationships. I've given up too much. I can't stop now. Not now. But when? One day, I say. But its looking like 'never'. Its just a small speck on my 'to do' list, dominated by the single, most pressing issue - to obtain more heroin.

Just so you know, the heroin's like a siren, calling to me. Once I started at the ripe age of twenty-five - I found out that I couldn't stop. From one, to two, then to four now, on good days that is. When I can obtain it. Its usually two to four. 

You to tell me to stop, but what do you want me to do? I'm just resigned to my fate, after all. My whole life's a broken recorder on repeat. It has been for ten years. Or was it twenty? I don't know. I dont remember. All I can do right now is to warn others, don't do drugs. Don't destroy your life. Don't be like me, another junkie on the street - the tattered remnants of my past life mere whispers in the fading wind...]]> 2018-01-23 22:59:35 UTC https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/224043394 https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/224234038 I’m obsessed with Wars. I study both World Wars,Great Northern War and many others that occured before 1945. My favourite theatre of war is the eastern front in ww2 and some of my favourite battles are the Battle of Kursk,Denmark Strait and Narva. I also memorised names of forty commanders. Among them Colonel-General Guderian and field marshals Rommel and Manstein are my favourites. They all demonstrated values of bravery, loyalty and military brilliance. Studying wars let me gain insights of what the soldiers think and feel. Experiencing their infuriation,despair,solace and agony makes me feel like a different person. It also taught me many values, like discipline, courage and honour.

Sia is a famous singer and songwriter who mainly writes pop songs for herself and other famous pop stars. I have over two hundred of her songs in my music library on phone and counting. I am in love with her not only because of the wide range of genres and very meaningful lyrics in all of her songs, but also because of her bubbly, lovable personality. She is the person that everyone wants to be friends with.]]> 2018-01-24 14:50:46 UTC https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/224239166 https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/225254979 I am obsessed with... nothing much actually ! I do not get excited over things easily. Sometimes i have a great interest in something for a very short period of time. This may range from organisation ideas, room decor, to study tips and movitavational and inspirational quotes. When something arouses my interest, i scroll through Pinterest to get ideas or to just browse through boards related to what i am interested in at that point of time. Something that i personally feel most of us do not realise is that we are obsessed with our smartphones. We do not realise it because it has become a part of our second nature. It does not seem like an addiction or obsession but in fact is deemed as something normal . I cannot deny that i am not obsessed with my smartphone. However, sometimes i cannot help myself. ]]> 2018-01-27 00:53:03 UTC https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/225254979 https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/225262037 2018-01-27 03:58:57 UTC https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/225262037 https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/225340709   I am obsessed with Overwatch, an immensely popular "Massively-Multiplayer Online" (MMO) game. After its release in May 2016, it quickly gained a large fanbase and was praised by critics. Its diverse cast of characters, gorgeous graphics and addictive gameplay make it no surprise that it has over 35 million players.
  As Overwatch is a team-based game; it requires players to coordinate and strategise with their team to achieve victory. The satisfaction of working together with your team and succeeding is an addictive feeling. It is also a first-person-shooter which helps to train hand-eye coordination as well as your reflexes. I often find myself playing for hours on end, as I can never get enough of outsmarting opponents and defeating them.
  Another reason why I love Overwatch is because of its characters. From a current roster of 26 heroes, you could choose to pick an offensive hero, defensive hero, tank hero or a support hero. The hero I play the most is Ana. She is a hero that is difficult to play, but has a high impact on the battlefield with her biotic rifle, grenade and sleep dart.
  Overwatch also has an extremely devoted fanbase. Due to its popularity, an "e-sports" competition is organised for the game. The most skilled players form teams and compete against each other to win. My favourite team is "Seoul Dynasty", a South Korean team that is considered by many to be a powerhouse. I love watching the competitive matches as I can learn how to become a better playing through observing the skills of professional players.
  Overall, I have invested nearly 150 hours into the game. It helps me to destress and have fun. 
Although it is difficult, I am able to play the game in moderation. I can see myself spending even more time playing it in the future.]]> 2018-01-28 03:55:18 UTC https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/225340709 https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/226109863 I am obsessed with procrastination. Often I find myself putting things off to tomorrow, but rarely do I finish what I started. It happens to me everyday everytime, be it with homework, chores and any duty given to me, I always manage to find and excuse to drag it out partly due to my unwillingness to carry out such tasks with tedium. Countless times I have procrastinated. Never have I changed. It is my habitual reaction to all my problems...To leave it to tomorrow. Fortunately however, with the help of my friends and a strict schedule I might be able to finally kick the habit.]]> 2018-01-30 14:57:48 UTC https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/226109863 https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/227838681 I am obsessed with cute socks. Cute socks are socks with characters on them, for example, Hello Kitty, Gudetama, Snoopy. My obsession started when I got my first pair of Angry Bird socks from my relative. Currently, I have around ten pairs. Initially, I thought my mother would scold me because I have so many pairs of them. However she was actually fine with my obsession.]]> 2018-02-04 11:53:03 UTC https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/227838681 https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/227845214 I am obsessed with music. However, although teenagers my age would prefer rowdy rock songs, or your famous k-pop songs, I am different. There are many types of music from instrumental to classical, rock songs, pop songs or even heavymetal. However, I am very intrigued by songs that tell a story or have deep meanings. I am just mesmerized at how a story can be expressed in a form of a song. These songs are just so woderfully satisfying, it is just like reading a storybook. I call these songs, story-telling songs. However, a songs lasts for only a few minutes, the composers have to keep a story short. Yet, on top of that, they can just make a whole series or album that talks about the different scenes in the story. This is why I appreciate music and why I repect music and song composers]]> 2018-02-04 13:04:53 UTC https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/227845214 https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/228572242 I am obsessed with kpop. The group I like the most in the Korean music industry is BTS . They debuted in 2013 and belong to Big Hit Entertainment . They are a group of 7 and are assigned to different roles such as main vocalist , main rapper and lead dancer . They are the only group so far that the company has debuted . Their members come from different places in Korea . They started off small and are now international stars . They are inspirational as they spread awareness through their music . They held campaigns such as “Love Myself” in partnership with UNICEF . The members had sacrificed a lot of come this far . For example the youngest member was only 15 when they debuted ; he lost a part of his childhood to follow his dreams . They had to leave their families to train hard and fulfil their dreams . To them , their efforts are worth it as they have come a long way , from 100 fans to millions from all over the world . Last year , they beat many American artistes like Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez and won a Billboards award . Their latest albums and songs have also made it to the Hot 100 and 200 charts . They are also the first Korean artists to perform at the American Music Awards (AMA’s) and appeared in famous reality shows such as “The Ellen Show” , “Jimmy Kimmel Live !” and “The Late Late Show with James Corden” . They also worked with artistes like the Chainsmokers , Desiigner , Steve Aoki and Fall Out Boy . The group has brought smiles to many faces . They are so famous yet so humble . They interact to their fans warmly during fan meets and care for their well-being at events or at the airports . I hope that this obsession of mine will become yours too ! ]]> 2018-02-06 13:32:28 UTC https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/228572242 https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/231435630 I am obsessed with the noose. I always find myself tying them with whatever strings I can find. Its not like I plan to ever use them, but to me, the noose has philosophical value. To others it may seem like it symbolises death and melancholy, but to me, it symbolises freedom and the end of meaningless suffering. I want to stress that I do not wish to use a noose. I only wish to admire it in its glory, setting souls free from their torture. This was a bad topic to write about.]]> 2018-02-14 11:37:04 UTC https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/231435630 https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/233378718 I am obsessed with video games. I enjoy playing them on weekends during my free time. My favourite game is League of Legends. It's a team-based multiplayer game. You get to pick a character with unique abilities and play in the role you love. You can pick from a tank, assassin, mage, marksman or support. My favourite champion is Thresh. He is a support champion who controls the fights by stunning his enemies and interrupting their abilities. I really enjoy this game because I have lots of fun with it and it's great for passing time. However, a downside to this game is the toxic community that fills the game with negativity and pessimism. Overall, I find this game very engaging and I hope to find more time to play this masterpiece.]]> 2018-02-20 17:00:51 UTC https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/233378718 https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/233568968 2018-02-21 01:08:41 UTC https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/233568968 https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/233569290 2018-02-21 01:10:26 UTC https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/233569290 https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/233570919 I am obsessed with clothes. Whenever I go shopping, I would definitely go to clothing shops first for example HnM. To me, one's fashion and appearance would affect others' impression on him or her. You can only wear certain clothes on a particular day or for a specific event. Thus, a having great variety of clothes in your closet would be great as you would not want to wear something colourful for a funeral. At times, I do feel that I have too many clothes as I would always take 10 minutes or more just to choose what I want to wear. That is why I occasionally donate clothes I do not want to wear anymore to my neighbours. This would also help in emptying my closet and reducing the choices I have whenever I go out. All in all clothes are special to me as all their different designs are unique and have different meanings.]]> 2018-02-21 01:20:29 UTC https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/233570919 https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/233670470

I am obsessed with trying out food.I enjoy looking at them and thinking how they would taste like in my mouth. To me food is also a great stress reliever.I would eat whenever i feel stressed out as eating allows my mind to escape from any problems temporarily. In addition, food is always a source of fascination to me as almost everything can be food after proper treatment.Even crickets.Over the years my obsession towards food has been growing and recently my obsession is so great that i spend up to eighty percent of my personal saving just on food.Undoubtedly,this habit of my has brought my parents great worry.

Action movies fill up the void of emptiness of our lives as students. Being a student, we do not experience a lot of interesting incidents. However, action movies offer scenes that are both breathtaking and wild, which one does not simply experience. Movies like Thor: Ragnarok, Spiderman: Homecoming, are one of the few movies i adore as they have a lot of fighting scenes. Not just that, they have a lod of humorous scenes to balance out with the fighting scenes, allowing them to be top grossing movies. Therefore by watching these movies, they fill up my boring life with action. Thus, making me obsessed with action movies.]]> 2018-02-22 02:13:13 UTC https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/234060349 https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/234061744 I am obsessed with music. I am particularly obsessed with music that are able to convey how the artist is feeling. I listen to music like Pachelbel’s Canon In D and Yiruma’s River Flows In You. These music are able to express the feelings without the artist saying a single word in the song. Their music also relaxes the mind and I listen to them as I study.]]> 2018-02-22 02:23:46 UTC https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/234061744 https://padlet.com/lookitwan/1/wish/234219611 I am obsessed with my mother tongue language, tamil. Especially the classic old novels in tamil. This sudden obsession started when I was in Secondary One and has continued till this day. Reading these perennial novels helps to improve my language and also to learn to appreciate my mother tongue. These imperishable novels aren't just stories but they are also historical events that date back to a very long time ago. This obsession of mine has helped me to cherish and respect the divinity of tamil.
