This year has been a hell of a ride, and it is finally coming to an end. Now's the time to look back on what happened for the past 364 days, and what I've achieved or done.
1. 2015 started off with me having a countdown celebration at home with my mum while we watched channel 5's countdown programme, with me going crazy while I danced along to Big Bang's performance. It was memorable.
2. One of my most enjoyable day was with 6J when we met up in the beginning of the year and had a chaotic photo taking session and it was so hilarious and I still remember that day quite clearly.
3. Also stepped out of my comfort zone in taking Theatre Studies. It's actually my most favourite mod that I've taken for the past three semesters. Definitely recommending this mod to anyone who is in NUS. It's SO DAMN ENJOYABLE. Despite having to spend a lot of time outside of curriculum in rehearsing and memorising scripts, it was so challenging and fun and memorable. Plus, it was so awesome because I managed to get super good group mates for both performances. It made me learn more about the theatre scene in Singapore and developed much interest in theatre. (p.s. I actually considered minoring in it, but decided not to because too tedious and everyone who is majoring or minoring in it is damn good so I'll die LOL.) This mod is also one of the few mods that will actually make you gain good friends because of the group work.
With Wenjun, Rachel and Doreen, for our first play.
With Glenn, Vivan, Doreen and Bryce, for our second play - PIE. (a super interesting play, by the way. dark and interesting!! AND LOCAL.) Goodbye Wanling (Vivan), Marcus (Bryce), Interrogator (Doreen), James (Glenn) and Claire (Me). Love love love this play the most because we put in so much effort in it.
4. Taking Theatre Studies also led us to watch my first local play ever - TiTouDao. It was a compulsory play for one of our graded assignments, writing a review. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLAY. It was damn hilarious and the cast did an amazing job. And love how guniang the guy managed to act. He was DAMN QIANBIAN because he acted until damn flirty and guniang and annoying with his annoying voice and accent but he was so hilarious and the crowd loved him!!
5. The death of Mr LKY. :'(
6. Grandma's 90th birthday!! :)
7. Shermin's 1st year birthday party.
8. Me spending one month without my best friends Doreen and Bernice when they went on summer exchange. :(
9. Working with mum for the first time ever for 2.5 months. It was horrible because it made me realise how real office politics are. My mum's office only had 4 employees at that time, and 4 employees were enough to create horrible office politics. But it also gave me a chance to mature and experience working life. It also gave me the chance to make friends with the unofficial intern, Nadine.
10. Our family trip to Hong Kong!! (yeah haven't blogged about it because so damn lazy).
11. AND I FINALLY GOT TO VISIT HONGKONG DISNEYLAND. AND BOUGHT MICKEY EARS HEADBAND :')
12. Catch up with Child hood friends after SO MANY YEARS.
13. Also went for my first Rag and Flag day ever. It was amazing because managed to see the sam willows and CHRISTINA GRIMMIE OMG OMG OMG. AMAZING NIGHT.
14. also abandoned the android family, especially the HTC clan (I really love HTC's cool user interface and unique phone designs, and their front camera especially. but sorry, the HTC M7 killed my trust for HTC for its purple camera LOL), and jumped to the Apple family. It's been around 4 months, and can I say that I've still not regretted my decision to become an Apple user. Every single time I manage to take nice pics I'll be like DAMN I LOVE YOU SO MUCH MY IPHONE 6. *___*
15. And me turning the big two.
and being surprised at my grandma's house by the sweet friends Doreen, liuhan and shuying; and surprised at my own house by le bff wendy :') So grateful for you all.
16. Going for HHN5 even though we said we didn't want to go for HHN anymore last year.
17. Attending Singapore Night Festival 2015 with Doreen and her primary school bff Yihfang!!
Singapore should have more events!!
18. watched our first Singapore musical ever with the TS peeps - December Rains.
With Xuxi, Doreen, Vivan, Weiye and Cheryl. TS people reunited hahaha.
It was quite nice and teared a bit lah oops HAHA. The soundtracks were nice though, and it was quite shocking because never knew that the mediacorp actor Andie Chen could sing.
19. Also took a fun mod this sem - understanding the universe. It was like some physics/astronomy mod and also recommending this to anyone who needs to take a GEM mod in future. It is damn chill, and prof cindy is just so damn funny unintentionally.
20. Went for our first stargazing session at night with Doreen in school because of this astronomy mod. We got to play with telescopes and spot constellations and planets.
Spot Saturn and its amazing ring. But spot our amazing faces first HAHAHA KIDDING.
21. Because of this mod, also got to travel to Malaysia with Doreen for a stargazing session!! It was fun because made new friends and also first time going Malaysia with friend!! (blog more about it next time. the draft half written oops.)
22. A new addition to our family - Baby Isaac!! (Jayden and Shermin's younger brother). YAYYYY.
23. Took a language mod this sem - German. It was fun but damn tedious because there were vocab tests almost every two weeks. And there were many group video recordings. But it was such projects that allowed us to make friends with one another. And I like my group members a lot!!
24. Also tried a new sport/cca with Doreen and Vivan this sem - capoeira. Failed miserably because we quit after 4 weeks I think HAHA. No motivation to carry through. But it was fun while it lasted haha.
25. Applied for SEP and got rejected sighs, but it's ok. Thanks Joey for encouraging me and telling me that it might be a good thing. Guess I'm stuck in Singapore for Year 3 then. Unless I can find a summer programme to go to next year.
26. Xmas party in JB with 6J girls!! So sad zozo couldn't come because she was overseas, and Joey had stomach flu :( NEXT TIME OK. But still had fun in JB haha coz first time mum allowed me to go there with friends (excluding the stargazing session with Doreen because it's considered a school trip).
27. Xmas party at Weining's house with 2J girls!! FULL ATTENDANCE FINALLY OMG.
LOLOL LOOK weining and I have the reddest faces because we two have the worst alcohol tolerance level. But weining can hold hers better than me, and she was like EH FIRST TIME SEE SOMEONE WORSE THAN ME. P.S. it was only cider that we drank (4.5%??)
28. Joined AC exco comm 2016. For now, I think that's the most challenging thing that I've done. Not sure how things will turn out to be because now is still recruiting phase, and most activity will take place next year. I'll probably be damn busy, and going to have to burn loads of my weekends in school for training sessions or planning, and filling up loads of finance forms :( But yeah, excited for new opportunities ahead, and meeting new people. Wouldn't have done this if not for Doreen, hence I'm so afraid. Realised how dependent I am on her and on my friends. I can't do this shit alone seriously. Yesterday was quite a disaster for me, because Doreen couldn't turn up. I don't even know how to describe how terrible things went yesterday. All in all, I feel like I'm intimidated by people's outgoingness and I really have to step up my game le. Perhaps I'll talk more about this another day.
This year has been fun, in trying many new things like learning a new language, a new martial arts, walking out of my comfort zone and trying to embrace the stage and audience in theatre studies. Also have been emotional in terms of trying to discover and finding out who I want to be. Still trying to figure that part of me out, but yeah hoping things will turn out well. Have also broken down in the presence of my BFF during summer, and hoping I didn't give her a shock of her life. Very grateful for le bff Wendy for always giving me advice and telling me the truth, like how I suck at comforting people (haha thanks babe for not sugarcoating things and just telling me things right in my face :*), and even offering to call me up when I told her I didn't know how to deal with things a few days ago. Also thankful for Doreen and Vivan for being there in school. Wouldn't have been able to survive this sem without them seriously. This year, it's been tough too because I felt myself retreating back into this hypothetical shell. I became less outgoing as before. I used to be really crazy in RV days, I was carefree, I was optimistic, I didn't give a shit on what people said and thought of me. I used to be a fun person to be with, but now I'm just a wary person and so so reserved that I'm not myself anymore. I became more careful of my doings and I don't like this bit of me at all. Hence in 2016, I hope I'll become carefree again. I want to be myself in front of others. Time to really not give a shit. And most importantly, to be able to make a positive difference in others' lives.
Hopefully I'll be a happier and better person in 2016 :) Till next year. LOLLLLLLLLLLLL.
Should I use the overused joke of "I've not showered since last year", "I've not eaten since last year"?? I guess not. It used to be funny, but not so anymore.
Happy new year everyone!! Thanks for sticking throughout the ups and downs in my life.
