one in a million chances

what is the boldest thing you’ve done recently?

Bought the Taylor Swift Concert ticket in Singapore, as I never go abroad by myself.

During High school, I was a fan of Korean TV program, there was a time when all the hosts came to SH for a fan meeting, I knew clearly that it was during school time, I asked my mom if I could go to SH to ask for half day leave. I was upset because it was a very treasurable event for me. I lost the chance to see them.

Ban the Korean entertainment/TV (Korean Ban) – never have a chance to see them in China.

Some of hosts exited the show, the opportunity was lost forever.

So this year, I saw the TS concert in Singapore, consisting of all her albums, again a very precious chance. I think this is the only chance to see her.

what is something that you do it differently than others?

I’ve heard friends saying that I’m very positive and good attitude when handling problems. When I’m met with issues, you will not feel nervous or anxious. When the boat reaches the port, the bridge will appear.

title of the essay

When was the last time you felt the most stressful?

My post-graduate degree

I thought the topic was a little confusing, she was tasking me with a lot of weird questions. I had a lot of conversations with her but she insisted. The scoring wasn’t great. I worked on my paper day and night, added a lot of exercises. I still can remember the time where I couldn’t sleep and eat, especially my classmates had finished with this and planned trips to take.

Eventually, I escaped the second debate and received my degree.
