Social Comparison is inevitable. At one point of our lives, we would have done so, or better yet - our parents compare us with other children (such an ASIAN thing!) .

Hands up in the comments below if you've had a conversation that was #AWKWARD before.

Today, I will be chatting with my friend Sejal who survived COVID-19 after spending 16 days in the National Centre for Infectious Diseases, NCID. Like me, Sejal is also a communications major in university and a freelance emcee.

To give some context, in November 2019, she shared with me, over lunch, about her excitement in planning her university exchange to the UK. She spent her holidays working extra jobs in order to save for her trip.

In March 2020, her elaborate travel plans were disrupted as she was recalled back to Singapore, only to be tested positive for COVID-19.

In this podcast, Sejal brings us through her lowest and highest points throughout her journey, and shares her biggest learning points.
