Life is short and the older you get, the more you feel it. Indeed, the shorter it is. People lose their capacity to walk, run, travel, think, and experience life. I realise how important it is to use the time I have.
-Viggo Mortensen
Many of us seem to think of so many great ideas—art to create, stories to write, projects to do; we just never seem to be able to do them. What is it that stops us from following our creative pursuits? Why is it that we think ourselves incapable of creating anything meaningful, if only for ourselves? If sometime, you feel a creative block, or feel trapped by the logical confines of your daily life, then you must explore this section. A plethora of ideas to give you that push.
The basic assumption that you need to have a great camera to take pictures is false! All you need is a good eye and some exploration. With a bit of trial and error, anyone can take good pictures. But to tell your story through pictures, you must know what it is that you want to say. Are you trying to portray melancholy? Or happiness? Fear, or danger? Photography is a skill that can be learnt, but it may take years to master. In this section, we’ve tried to unpack some of that knowledge for you.

We are all travellers in the wilderness of this world, and the best we can find in our travels is an honest friend.
-Robert Louis Stevenson
For thousands of years, mankind has tried to breathe life into inner thoughts, feelings, insights, and experiences through different forms of art. Whether it was through prehistoric hieroglyphs, or modern e-books, the intention has remained the same (well, almost)—self-expression. If you fully immerse yourself in the bounties of art, you are sure to find yourself mesmerised and inspired; through this journey, you may just find a beautiful outlet of self-expression and discovery for yourself.
As teens, we all loved exploring new music. Friends would gather round, listen to the newest hits on the one iPod which someone would be fortunate enough to have. Music truly connects people across borders, across time and universes. It can turn enemies into friends, strangers into lovers, and heal heartbreaks in an instant. One of the defining aspects of any culture is its music; it has brought people together for centuries. You listen once and you are enamoured forever!
