A lot can happen in 10 years. Lots of big feelings as I brought my folks to Maju Camp to celebrate SAFVC’s 10th Anniversary! 10 years ago, I was a student with a childhood dream of becoming a soldier. Awkward but willing, I signed up for SAFVC so I could serve while studying. Months later, I graduated from basic training and earned the nickname “Lipster” for constantly licking the camo off my lips 😂 I looked like the pickle from SpongeBob. I enlisted alone, but I gained a family. (Legit, Zie is my closest friend, and my section mates from 01/16 we are close!) Then came alopecia. I thought my journey with SAFVC would end before it even began. But our weary hearts were elated to find out that I was healthy enough to continue serving! It was through advocating for national defence by sharing my SAFVC journey in schools that I learned to be comfortable being bald in uniform. The uniform borrowed me strength, and my section mates, commanders, encik, and ma’am helped me find the courage to speak to others even when I had no eyebrows (or with badly drawn brows). The confident botak you see today, a huge part of the credit, goes to them for supporting me during the early difficult days. I left briefly to pursue a career as a regular, but 2020-2022 was a rough time. However, when I was stable enough, I got a call asking if I'd like to return to serve as a volunteer again. Words couldn’t describe how much that meant. Re-enlisting as an Infomedia Volunteer last year felt like a homecoming. Before I posted publicly, I would commemorate SAFVC Formation Day and Total Defence Day with a quote that I think about quite often from Mr. Lee Kuan Yew. And today, especially with all that's happening in the world, the reminder is more important than ever: "If you, who are growing up, do not understand that you have to defend this, then in the end, we will lose. Other people will come, smack you down, and take over." And just like that, we celebrated 10 years of service, and we shall remain steadfast and vigilant for many more to come. Here are some glimpses from yesterday's family day! Credit to MOSG for the SAFVC video! Happiest Birthday, SAFVC Adel 🌻🦁 #volunteer

Today, I managed to finish at least half of my lunch! A small win, but I'll take it. I decided to have lunch at the stairwell today because that's my spot where I'd usually go to when things feel overwhelming. Some days, I sit there for a bit before heading home, just to unwind and process my thoughts. I've been trying my best to eat better because I tend to skip meals when I'm anxious to avoid throwing up. It's something I've been dealing with for a while now, and I guess I'm finally at a place where I can talk about it openly. I have also yet to start spring cleaning....so I am probably going to start tomorrow, bit by bit, and I am not going to rush myself or blame myself for not having the energy to do so - because I am really trying..and that's all that matters. To try. 🫡 I hope everyone is coping in their own way. Please remember to take care of yourself, eat, hydrate, and rest, especially on days when everything feels too fast! Even though I haven’t posted in a while, you’re guys are always in my thoughts. I'm horrible when it comes to reaching out, especially when I am overwhelmed, so thanks for having lunch with me on a day when it felt like too much. Here's some sunflower for you, my friend! 🌻🌻🌻 Let's jiayou together Adel 🌻 #mentalhealthawareness

"Salt I stand, city falls, my glances back." While everyone is celebrating and reflecting, I find myself fearing the start of a new year. It's not just the festive blues, but because 2024 has been heavy. I know I have a lot to be grateful for, and I do have plenty of happy moments that I hold on to, but if I am being honest, this year has been a long mission of trying. Trying to be enough, trying to be healthy, trying to eat, to sleep, and most of all, trying to show up when all I wanted was to run away and isolate. When my alopecia relapse hit again, so did everything else—my health, my mental health, and my ability to connect with others. It felt like every day was a battle just to feel okay, to find some sense of normalcy. But I was also very lucky to have the Internet. Content creation was my escape, and though I cried in my video at times, it was through the Internet I found solace and comfort. Every message, every comment. Especially the ones who enjoyed and encouraged my little series, like $8ventures & look it. Adel did her best. She really did give her 100% to be a host, even on days when it's difficult. I’ve been listening to Helen by Elias Helix. Though it’s my own interpretation, the lyrics stayed with me. "Salt I stand" I lost friends this year, some because I couldn’t keep up, life moved faster than I could. I lost a friend, someone I saw more often than my closest few. And I guess I also finally accepted that my favourite uncle is no more. Through it all, I held on to this: I need to be well, not just for myself, but for those who care about me. So I sought help, and I am still seeking help and checking in with a friend monthly. "City falls" 2024 was filled with moments where I felt like everything was falling apart. But I am also constantly reminding myself that I’m not alone in this. My Internet friends who have shared their woes with me are still showing up. So, if they can, I also can one. "My glances back" This clip is a reminder for myself that even at my lowest, I still showed up, and as we step into a new year, I hope you’re celebrating yourself too, for showing up every day, even when it felt impossible. Can one 🌻 Adel 🤟🏻 #yearontiktok #mentalhealthawareness #tiktokforgood

I am not the best when it comes to expressing my love for my parents, but I do love them, a lot. I am not trying to be morbid, but I often feel like I am running out of time because both my grandparents left us early, my uncle and aunty left us rather early too. They didn't live past the age of 70. Hence, as I grow older, all I want is for my parents to age gracefully, healthily. I am thankful that I am able to bring them overseas this year, and I will continue to work hard and cherish every moments like this 🌻

Do what makes you happy! so I went to Jakarta last week to attend the TikTok Awards Night! and while we had some time, I realised that without routine, I feel kinda lost, but I am also learning to let loose. Turns out I'm not as "free spirited" as I'd like to be. 😂 But I enjoyed my day..that's what matters most! Really happy to visit Jakarta again! Thank you @tiktoksg for having me! #tiktokforgood #mentalhealthawareness #tiktokawards

Some of you guys may have remembered that in August, I posted a video on behalf of my friends at @foodfromtheheartsg - appealing for food donation, and ever since my last visit to one of Food from the Heart's Community Shop, I have been thinking about them and keeping them in my thoughts. Hence, when I had the opportunity to volunteer with them, I was simply over the moon. 🥹 I learnt about where our donations (food or money) go to and got to participate in the Community Food Pack programme by tagging along with Uncle Ah Huat as he brought us up and down the blocks to deliver the food packs. 🫡 In this festive season, I am once again appealing to you, my Internet friends, to help support Food from the Heart mission to help alleviate hunger by providing reliable, consistent and sustainable food support to the less-fortunate through food distribution programmes. Be it by sharing this video, or by donating through the links, every little help counts! Thank you ❤️ For food donation: https://qrco.de/fooddonations For cash donation: https://qrco.de/cashdonations #tiktoksg #tiktokforgood #volunteering #tiktok_partner

IT IS OKAY TO GROW AT OUR OWN PACE. 🫡 just because I'm turning 30 (in 2 years) and I’m single, it doesn’t mean I’m lonely or in a rush 🙏🏻 I’m at that age where most of my friends are BTO-ing or getting married. Honestly, there are days when I feel like I’m falling behind. But I am also constantly reminding myself that we each have our own timeline to walk on. We all have different perceptions of success and contentment. I acknowledge that I am turning 30 soon and I am still single, but guess what...that’s okay. As long as I am happy, that's all that really matters. Here’s to going at our own pace and celebrating every step along the way! 🫡 Ps: stop asking me to find a partner or I will send this video to your WhatsApp every morning as a good-morning text 👍🏻 #tiktokforgood #tiktok_partner

Day 2 of the ASEAN Summit Vlog: I had the chance to learn about how @tiktok and the @aseanfoundation are teaming up to support social enterprises across the ASEAN region! I spoke with several inspiring social enterprises who shared how using TikTok to raise awareness for their causes has boosted their reach and even increased their revenue, all while them to connect with a wider audience. This is indeed proof that we can use TikTok for good and it further affirms my believe that we can all use our platform for good. gah!! 🥹 thank friends from @tohe.style @hopesewing & @ltsventures for sharing and chatting with me! it was a pleasure to meet you guys! I'm rooting for you all! jiayou! ❤️❤️❤️ #aseansummit2024 #tiktokforgood #tiktok_partner

10/10. I will highly recommend this ulcer medication! The pain was super intense, but it's worth it. unlike dabbing with salt, it stops the pain instantly and it stops hurting completely the next day 🫡
