I know this post comes a little late, its already 3rd jan over here now. But i was kinda busy for the past few days and only got the time to blog now. But still, happy 2013 to all! I hope this will be a great year for all of us. So, i'm here for a review of my 2012. I mean, i think its good to kinda sum up the entire year, it helps us to learn from the past mistakes, and remember all the good things that have happened throughout the entire year.
The year started off well because i was determined to get out of all the shit that happened in 2011. I set new year resolutions for myself, i said i wanted to change, to fight for myself. I said i wanted to be a happier girl, and i was so determined to really be one. And i guess i took the first step and make a decision, to quit gusto. At that time it was causing me so much stress. I'm serious, it was. I felt so terrible everyday. I mean, i still miss gusto, still miss the times i had with my most awesome cca-mates, but... those were also the times that brought me nightmare. So, i made the decision and left in year 2012. Life wasn't that stressful anymore and i had a lot more time.
It was the first year after so long that i had a short hair. My hair was so long for many years but i decided to cut it short in this year. And until now, i still love myself with short hair (even though at times i miss my long hair too).
And then i went for picnic with my girls at marina barrage. I clearly remember i haven't had picnic for a long time and i really wanted to do that!
And then there comes april when the titanic movie was showing once again because it was the 100th year anniversary. After watching the movie i was so interested in it and decided to go for the art science museum in marina bay sands for the titanic exhibition.
Went over there with sandra, met up with her a couple of times in 2012. We haven't really meet up since we left secondary school.
And then school reopens. We are back in school and we ballot for a new project group. My group was awesome! Even though we quarrel, we had endless conflicts, but really, i still think we were awesome! We had fun doing our projects. It was also the final semester when i feel that i got much closer to my classmates since i left gusto and have a lot more time to spent with others.
And then there comes the first package i received from disney after i've been accepted. I still remember how excited i was at that time!!
And then it comes the june holidays when i went to work. The most terrible job i've ever got. I literally took my bag and walk off because i can't stand it anymore. I can't stand people who are so biased and unreasonable. But until now, i still think i did the right thing. And i'm sure many people do agree with me. Its a lesson that i've learnt, at least i know now that not everyone is gonna be nice to you when you work. It doesn't mean that you do the right thing, everyone will treat you right.
Then there comes august, when we finished our presentations. Can't forget how happy we are when we finished the last presentation. 3 years, 3 freaking hell years of project, and finally, its all over.
Then i was rushing to meet my friends because i would be able for 6 months.
So, i met up with weixuan and we went to this very nice place called full house cafe. We also went to gardens by the bay shortly after it opened.
Then there came the last day official school day in SP.
Even though we didn't started off well as a class, i believed that by the end of the 3 years, our relationship did improve by a lot.
And then i had another meetup with wijohn and weixuan just before i leave.
Then there came the last day of our exams. Just before the disney people fly off and all of us go on itp, we had a class dinner.
All the girls together!
And this.... is my awesome group. We are the powerpuff girls group hehe! :D
Then a few days before i leave for US, had a meeting with my dearest girls!
This is with fecilia! I miss her so much!!
With the shorty step step. I miss her a lot too! :D
Then off i go and here i am in US.
My first time leaving Asia and it is also the first time when i lived alone for 6 months, trying to stay independent.
I landed in Los Angeles, California, i was so excited.
So this was my room when i was in UCR. I miss UCR!!!
First time i got a student ID not from a Singapore school, it says, UC Riverside.
First time i went to this most awesome and beautiful beach, Santa Monica beach.
And we had a trip to the wax museum in hollywood. I decided to post this picture out of so many i had because Zac Efron is my favourite!!
First time i went to a disney park. This is disneyland in anaheim.
And then we made our way to florida. Arrived in florida and went to walmart. See, this was my first trip to walmart.
First time i watched the most awesome fireworks. They have fireworks in Disney EVERYDAY. It last for about 15 minutes. Really awesome and beautiful.
First time i wore such costumes for work. This is my favourite costumes out of all the ones i have!
First time i went for a christmas party in Disney, Mickey's very merry christmas.
And i went to see the really pretty and beautiful osborne lights in hollywood studios.
First time i sat on a helicopter.
So, to sum up, it was one of the best years i've ever had. There were so many first times in this year. Most importantly, i felt that this year was kinda like a changing point in my life. Because i had a terrible year in 2011, but when 2012 begins, things start to get back on track. I am truly blessed to be here in US, because i've tried so many things that i never thought i would have the chance to. I would never expect myself to be here in US, i mean at this age of mine, alone. Because i don't come from a rich family, i count myself lucky to be able to stay here for half a year. During this period of time, i learned a lot. I met a lot of nice people, they made a difference to my life. I work in quick service, it is tough, very. But i learn to appreciate those people working in quick service. I feel that i'm a lot more appreciative of everything i have in Singapore. I learned to be a lot more independent.
Really, 2012 was a great year for me. So now, it comes 2013 and i hope it will be a better year. Hopefully it goes the same for everyone!
Thanks for reading such a long post. And now... i'm going to bed. Goodnight people!
