Reflections for 2007 & Resolutions for 2008
Ok I know this is far too late but but but it's better then nv! =D
Reflections of 2007
Smilez =D
1) I've started regular blogging which is good cos i can keep track of my life and know what I have done. On the flip side, I hurt/offended/upset people with what I wrote on my blog in a spurr of the moment as I was in bad mood . That was when I first started. The episode is resolved cos I've kinda apologized and clarified myself. Well, I have since learn that when one is really angry, frustrated and in a v lousy mood, one shd jus calm down and tink thru things instead of losing their cool. Bcos even though u dun mean the things u've said, words still hurt. U can't take it bk and u will definitely regret.
2) I had my 1st Dance performance (excl the one in comm hall) at Club MoMo and received great positive feedback =D My mum, sis, Hock, Louis, Benny, Xu Zi, SeeKee, WanPing went down to support me and I received a small bouquet from Siew Kia even though she cldn't be thr. Touched =) Oh and a soft toy flower and "funny" bear from Hock too! Actually I realise tt i dun dislike flowers. In fact, I think I love them! I've finally came to realise the reason why I hate them so much in the past --- bcos I can't stand the sight of flowers withering! I'm funny right? Ahaha cos they look so miserable when they wither and I feel really guilty having to throw them away. It doesn't help tt flowers are quite ex too and I'll be doing injustice to the person giving it to me cos i dun get to keep it. So now tt I know, I actually love pretty flowers when I jus receive them. Another reason may be bcos I feel shy carrying flowers ard. U noe esp when pple turn to look, quite paiseh rite? On the other hand, I kinda enjoy the sight of a guy holding on to a bouquet of flowers looking very shy and at the same time anxious but yet have the blissful look on his face! V cute! I will feel happie for tt guy also.
3) Tried go-karting for the 1st time and got hooked on it!
4) Went to Tioman for snorkelling. Although it's not as nice as krabi, I was really sick of work tt time and badly needed a break.
5) Did my 3-month internship with CEMS and had a good experience there!
6) Went to Disneyland, a childhood fantasy, for the 1st time when I travelled to Hong Kong with WanPing. Benny was a great host!
7) Winning the Hula Girl Search Competition which gave me the opportunity of travelling to Hawaii and Taiwan. During the trip, I have made new friends and become more aware of the world tt we're living in! As I surfed couches instead of staying in hotels, it was a totally new experience and made me more open-minded when interacting with new people.
8) Celebrated my close fren's 21st b'days with them
Elaine- Cabbed down aft foodhunt but wasn't in time to see her cut b'day cake. I was the worst dressed guest tt nite, in shorts and tee, bimbos shared a polariod cam for her
Siew - Met her aft exams, treat her to movie, choco fondue & gave her gmask voucher as prezzie
Stace - Arranged with her then-bf Ma Xiao to surprise visit her at her family b'day dinner. She even cried la so funny! Gave her a crumpler bag although was half-a-yr late but was another surprise incident!
Seek - Arranged with wp to surprise her at MS outside bowling centre, chipped in for her ixus70
Linda - Met for dinner at Holland V. Gave her a Cheong Sum which sadly =( she dun like
WanPing - Did the most for this frenly neighbour! Helped her with planning of her b'day party, designed her invitation card & door gift tags, sourced for door gifts, PR abit for her during the party, shared a Topshop bag with other NUS peeps
9) My exam grades were satisfactory last semester although I thot it cld be better. Grades were nv in the top priority of my worries hence I'm ok.
10) Lastly, I ended the year with a fruitful and fufilling YEP trip to Cambodia, Prey Veng - Sang Khem '07. Really glad to have been given the opportunity to join the team and got to know each of the 15 of them better.
Frowns >=(
1) "I thought meeting u in NUS was the best thing that have ever happened to me but I was wrong" Words from someone whom I thot exactly the same way before. I thot meeting tis fren was my blessing (u were so nice or was it all jus disguise?) but it turned out otherwise. It disappoints me really alot and I must admit tt I'm deeply hurt! Although I don't show it but I am! Cos I don't trust people often and tis fren was one of the few who gained mine. Now, "true fren" has been redefined for me and I've become very very wary of pple.
2) I ended my 1st relationship. Hmmm, for good and bad. I can't be sure if was a good choice then but I'm fairly happy the way things are now cos we're still so frenly and can have heart-to-heart chats or gossips =P
3) I didn't hold a 21st b'day celebration. A little bit of a regret cos I was really busy tt time.
4) My grades for 2 sems ago (1st half of the yr) were not too good
5) Didn't manage to join the go-karting competition =( but according to wanping and monica, hula mkt exe (Hula was the drink sponsor), it was a blessing in disguise. It was quite terrible cos it rained and waiting time was long.
6) My little nephew was diagnosed with a hole in his heart =( Rem my bro was devastated but little Lenny's now a healthy cute boy aft his sucessful op!
7) My usual family issues are still not resolved
