of a beam during our engineering math classes and memorise the national and local building codes in our lecture hours. I guess, all the stress from studying architecture is what pushed me to do more and try new things far from it. One thing led to another until one day, I realised that I was already serving too many masters. As a regular guy, I could say that I never lacked the passion and the vigor to do all these but sometimes time does not permit me to be in four different places at the same time. And frequently, 24 hours is just not enough. At the end of the day, I decided to prioritise and trimmed things down. I am now a senior architecture student. I still write for our campus paper and sing in church every Sunday but I settled to pause my life as “DJ Liam” for a while.

As they say, if you have goals, you need to give them your best shot, if not your 100 percent. And that’s what I did when I decided to give up my radio career for the meantime. Finishing architecture school is still my top priority for now. I am 22 and from all the experiences I had, I believe I am equipped with the least wisdom I need to be a fulltime grown-up after college. And with my short span of attention and passion for many things, I shall not fail to figure and sort things out myself as I continue journeying. After all, this world will soon depend on me, on us, the millennials – the farmers, professionals, innovators, and leaders of tomorrow. I am this world’s future. I am a millennial.
