Every year's like a roller coaster ride for me. But that's what life is, and I'm thankful that it's like that for it is what I get to learn from. Pain, Happiness, Joy. I've been learning to cherish every single moment. Well, although my memory is really turning from bad to worse, I'm going to try my best summarizing the whole of the past year.
2012 started off with a blast at Fullerton hotel with people whom I wasn't very close to I must say. It wasn't the perfect company but it was the perfect location. At the point of time I wished for the company of D, but well, now I know that having Mandy, Vivian and Jasmine was actually enough for me, just that I didn't cherish. I can still remember what a spectacular view it was from the hotel's balcony. We missed the countdown but thank god, we didn't miss the fireworks. Best firework view I've seen in my life. Thanks to Zujing who made everything possible of course!
This year's celebration is one of the best. But the guilt still haunts me, since initial plans were cancelled because of me. Lucky thing is I still ended up with the best company to start the brand new year. Can't be more thankful for that :')
Always loved the December holidays. 2012's countdown to Xmas was held at Shaun's place with the best company as well. Although half the time people were doing their own stuff, at least everyone forked out the time to gather together. That's what matters :) (gonna be thankful for every little thing from 2013 onwards)
On Xmas day itself, celebrated with the sec sch clique. Finally some catch up but in the end almost half of the people slept haha. Was a fun night nonetheless!
Been on 3 trips in 2012. Fulfilling trips I must say. 1 with the clique, 1 with the BF and 1 with the group. What more could I have asked for? Hongkong trip was an eye-opener because it was the first time ever I've been to Disneyland. Never would I imagine myself enjoying myself at Disneyland since I never liked cartoons besides powerpuff girls maybe? The shopping there wasn't as good as expected but again, it's the company that matters :) Finally had the chance to bond closer to the girls. Never had much chance to in secondary school days due to BGR so I'm quite glad the trip happened.
Phuket trip with Tim's family was a great break that I needed from all the studying throughout the sem. I've been the most blessed to join in the family. Everyone's been extremely welcoming and generous, can't be more thankful for that. Always have difficulty in fitting into families, and I can't deny that I still feel kind of out of place. But of course I'll try harder to stop being so awkward, and I hope things would work out.
KL trip with the group was amazingly fun during the days AND nights. Although our plan to club failed in the end (I still feel extremely guilty about it), I very much enjoyed everything that happened during the trip. It was so much fun laughing at xy and being laughed at. Can't believe I got drunk on the 3rd night... But well, memories :) So glad the trip happened! More trips to come ;)
Tried so many different types of jobs this year, a large range of jobs not kidding. From SPH to booth girl to photographer to setting up games booths to giving out balloons to promoting makeup to waitress in a bar to tuitioning. All of these taught me extremely valuable skills and either helped me gain groups of friends or brought me closer to some existing ones. All of these made my 8 months of holiday worth it.
2012 brought me closer to my primary school friends especially Mandy Xueyong and Zhihao.
2012 brought me to my boy, Timothy. Because of the way we got to know each other, I'm starting to believe in something called "fate". And I do hope that this fate can bring us further despite all the obstacles ahead of us. Know I've said it a million times but I'm saying it again because I really do mean it. I'm SO thankful to have you in my life. It's really a whole new perspective you opened my eyes to. Thanks to you, I've learnt a lot and finally started to laugh and be happy again. :)
2012 marked the end of many other things too. It marked the end of me and D's long and complicated drama, and it marked the end of me and N's close friendship. I'm still very regretful for the lost of the friendship. If you happen to read this N, if in any case you're talking to your friends about me like how you used to talk to me about L, I hope that you can recall what I always said to you regarding her. I don't think anyone would be try to fix our friendship like how I tried to fix yours and hers, but I really do hope that we can still be friends again at least. You were there for me when I was at the lowest point of my life and I don't wish to lose such a great friend from my life just because of my silly mistake. Sorry.
Although this post ended in a sad note, I would say 2012 was a great year. To more happy things to come in 2013! Xoxo.
