Kwa Shen Jun, Daniel
Hello, I am a Pathlight Alumnus and this is my 1st time participating in A Very Special Photo Challenge. I want to give my support Autism Resource Centre (Singapore) for helping me from 2007 to 2012 and I want to share my journey with you! Please donate through my profile to help fund ARC's programmes, empowering adults with autism to lead independent and meaningful lives. Thank you! :D
My Photo Challenge
Staying Young at Heart
There is 1 game that has always been with me for more than half of my life. That game is called Maplestory!
I started playing Maplestory in 2005 where the game allows players to choose various jobs, kill cute monsters, and of course explore various maps with people! These features are what make me enjoy the game. Even up to now, I am still playing the game and have celebrated their 20 years anniversary which is a huge milestone. The game also expands its contents with more classes to play, more places to explore and of course, more bosses to fight!
I wanted to share that no matter how old you are and how much you have grown physically, you are still young at heart internally! I am thankful for my younger self for reminding me that I am still myself and not a different person people see in me.
Even though we're all unique, be acceptive and inclusive as we all started at the same root that will grow until it becomes a tree which represents every aspect of ourselves as 1 community!

Bonding Day with My Work Team
In order for us to work well in a team at work, we first need to know each other. For instance, Bonding Day! By organizing activities such as breaking the ice and even hosting and playing games such as The Floor is Lava, we get to build that strong connection with each other and also to enjoy ourselves.
While working in a team may face challenges, we provide support to each other to overcome them, and it is thanks to the bond we forged at the beginning.
I believe there will be more challenges that will be in front of us, but surely, we will face them head on, overcome them and use them as learning experiences to grow stronger as a team!

A Picture That Speaks A Hundred Words
One of my hobbies is taking pictures either with family, friends, or even taking a breath-taking view of places like what you see right now.
Watching the cable cars travel from the mountain peak to the building across and to be able to see the view from the peak of the mountain is amazing.
There are many breath-taking views around Singapore and I hope to explore other areas to take more pictures like this. By describing my thoughts in a form of pictures, I want to share with everyone that taking pictures like this filled me with joy and happiness.
Side Note: It's exactly 100 words!

Fireworks Always Brings Joy!
Where do you see fireworks? At home? At the venue? Or even on your screen?
We don't get to see fireworks happen frequently, and yet seeing them exploding in our eyes in different colors filled us with excitement and joy.
When there's an event with fireworks happening, go watch it with your friends and family. Whether you went through a long and exhausting day, you are not the only one. Watching them sparkle helps you to recharge and feel ready for tomorrow!

Calm yourself, and Let the Music Plays!
This is something I would use as a daily essential: Listening to music!
There are times in life when uncertainties are unavoidable, but you push yourself to embrace them. When things don't go as expected, you may feel lost and may build that uncomfortable feeling in you.
I do faces new challenges daily and to overcome these challenges is to reflect daily on how can I do better tomorrow.
Listening to your favorite songs will always make you happy and do not forget this positive feeling you are showing to others! Your smile is what keeps other people happy too!
