Thought #1

Typing with sleepy pair of eyes... My nose has acted up again. A thought came.

Every time I read two favourite blogs, there is in me a stir of jealousy at how they craft their words out of their minds. One's a young, blossoming singer and a song-writer and another one, an artist who likes writing some poems. They both have excellent usage of descriptions to convey their thoughts that ensure smooth reading. However, I am not sure if the latter likes singing as a hobby. So I came to a conclusion that I am not even sure if it is logical. Those who like singing as a hobby or for their careers, have an ability of putting words together beautifully be it songs or just daily diaries (i.e blogs). Almost like reading literature.

Recently, a few of my adult friends commented on my writing either through reading my Facebook posts or my blog that I am a gifted writer. I think "gifted" is too much a compliment given that I still doubt my writing skill. I have stopped borrowing storybooks ever since I entered ITE. However, I still read online news and sometimes from an ebook app on my phone. I was even told I write too long. Yes, I'm still training myself to write short yet sweet paragraphs. I usually can write considerably good paragraphs if it has a strong connection between the photos I took and myself. Take my recent photo blog post "Farewell" as an example. I am not good with vocabulary or coming up with photo captions so I always write my personal reflection about them. It's such a joy crafting what I want to express in words relating to my photos. I know they are not necessarily accompanied with captions for they speak thousands of words. But it's my way of expressing myself and to be understood by others.

I must thank Grey Matters module I learnt in year 1 for it taught me to dig deeply and to know more about myself. It allowed me to have a journal that I was asked to write freely about my inner thoughts. Photos taught me so much and discovering more about myself and how I bring out my photography skill to the public eyes. 

P.S I miss Grey Matters so much ):
