I was 4 when I started learning music. I still remember my first vocal class where I cried telling mum that I can never get it right. I’m glad she made me stick with it because she already knew what makes me happy even before I did. And gradually I realize that everyone has that point in life where we hit crossroads, had bunch of bad days and there’s different ways to deal with it, and the way I dealt with it was I just turned to music. ↗

I felt a wish never to leave that room - a wish that dawn might never come, that my present frame of mind might never change. ↗

I am not going to change who I am. I am human and I know how to love, and be kind, and be compassionate to those who are weaker than me. Just because I have power doesn't mean I have to use it! ↗
