1/365 - Bye 2016, hello 2017

It's the first day of the year 2017 so here's a review of the past year. If I were to use a quote or phrase to describe, it would be 经一事，长一智. 2016 has been a year of new experiences, with both good and bad experiences. Good memories are definitely going to stay in my heart, while those bad ones are for learning.


Generated the best nine of instagram and I would think they are relatively the best memories of my 2016 too, but that doesn't mean that those not in best nine are not good memories. 

The main milestone for the year was my graduation from diploma course in May with relatively good results (for me). It was the happiest day in my course and I'm glad I made my parents proud. After graduation, I got myself a job. My job is fulfilling and I (still do) enjoy going to work everyday. I have a bunch of kids whom I really love them. Being totally new in the working society, I've learnt and gained new experiences (both good and bad) as I work, and definitely more to learn. 

Traveled to two different countries in this year - Korea and Vietnam. Went on a free-and-easy trip to Korea with huiyan. It was the first ever time I traveled alone with my friend and the trip experience was unique enough for me to always remember it. Went over to Hanoi with my family and again, there was new experiences for me (such as getting to a country on my own, got lost in a village, seeing geography come alive). 

However, a smooth sea never made a skillful sailor. The main setback in the year would be the end of a 2 years 8 months relationship. Through this, I learnt to have better judgement and to cope better in changes. I'm glad I was strong enough to walk out of this. I'm definitely a stronger person now. 

Thankful and grateful for my family and friends for sticking through with me. I appreciate all that you guys have done for me and I wouldn't exchange anything for you guys! I LOVE YOU ALL FROM THE MOON AND BACK. Let's continue to spend more time with each other in 2017.

Thank you, 2016. You have been a pretty good year, and I hope 2017 would be good too. I'm the creator of my own life, the author of my stories. 2017 will definitely be a better year :)

Another new chapter begins.

15 August 2016, the day I lost something that was important to me at that point of time. To be very honest, even though an end to a relationship was common and I told people that we can't be 100% confirm that he will be the one because shit just happens sometimes, I didn't expect shit to happen to me. I really thought I found the partner whom I'm going to spend my life with. This may sound naive, clinche, funny or contradicting, but I really thought that way.  Definitely, I was heartbroken. I was upset. I cried. I talked to myself. Keep telling myself that if it's not meant to be it, then so be it. Keep telling myself that ending everything now is better than ending it in the future when there are more responsibilities. I'm glad that my mind was clear, positive and logical, even though my heart wasn't too well.  I'm thankful to all the people who has comforted me. I know that I still have many family and friends who love me alot. My kids were my happy pills ...

I'm back from LAC (leadership adventure camp)  i think i will put some pictures here and there, if not whole chunk of words will just be too boring.  the first activity was actually ice breaking games and we played quite a few games but i think i was rather quiet at that point of time, cause i'm not those that will open up to strangers. my group name is Na'vi! :) for your info, the theme of the camp was fantasy so our group decided to choose Avatar! isnt the tribal design nice? :) 2 of my group mates drew that by themselves :) after deciding on the cheers and designing the box, we had lunch before proceeding to outside school for an amazing race :) the amazing race was played in HDB areas where one block is super super big. At least like 3 or 4 extensions. we had to find the hidden QR code to get our clues :)  this was us after the last station. had macs for dinner and i tried the samurai beef burger and i think it was okay la haha.  ...
