Dear Clo

Yes I remember those times when we write to each other. And yes, I still have all of the letters with me. I have so many of your letters that I put them all neatly in one folder.

First of all, I hope Grace won't take it the wrong way when she reads it =)

Because, really, change is okay.

When I told you that I see changes in you, I never meant that you were getting worse. In fact, I just felt that there's changes in your posts but I didn't actually analyse them.

Good or bad is really subjective. But I just want you to know that there's a change. If you think the change is good to your current environment, then great. After all, sometimes we have to go with the flow. But if you think that it's not good and that's not what you want to be, then, well, be alert.

Sometimes you have to have the experience to know. But often, it's better to learn from history, from those who have been there before.


In my opinion (based on experience):

Don't bother wearing branded items for the sake of it. When someone wants to attack you, they'll do so no matter what you are wearing. Good or bad, these people would just see everything about you as 'bad'.
Just wear the appropriate clothings, and be confident in them.

Don't worry about not wanting to mingle around with people. Just be yourself and new friends will come naturally. You have your SEGi friends, yeah. You are not alone. If you really want to be alone, stay in the library to do your works. College has just started not long so you might not have a lot of works to do... but when more assignments come in, you may not mind being alone at all. As for me, I would always love to spend time with 2-3 closed friends all the time.

Just be yourself, really. And be happy with the people around you. People who have eyes will see the true you. You know the person who attacked me? People around her actually talked bad about her behind her back, at the very same time when they still mix her. It's crazy, really. If she was still my friend, I would have told her about these people. But, well... =)

So, be cool, yeah. Your grades are your priority now. No one is gonna wake up everyday thinking "Clo is not mixing around, she's not having branded items". Moreover, if someone's gonna be your friend just because you have branded items, that's kinda dangerous, innit? =)

I see that you have really good friends from SEGi, it would be great to have friends like this in Taylor's. Don't worry, really. From USJ8 to SEGi, wherever you go, you have made really good friends (I realise that ;) ) I believe you would find true friends in Taylors too =)

If you don't (or just haven't), it's totally fine. Don't force yourself into anything. Go with the flow, change if you want. Wear your Levi's. You have all the rights to complain on your blog (I do too). But you just have to be aware of what you are doing, and be sure that it's the decision you won't regret with.

I know that sometimes you do read quotes from Fook Siang coz I see that you 'like' them. He always have good quotes. But here is one great one and I think it is for all of us:

‎"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent"
