i was just reading for concluding post for 2010 before i got motivated to type it out for 2011 and all i can say is that 2011 didn't really happened the way i would wanted it to be, since 2010 had been a really good year for me.
2011 had been a year filled with more ups and downs and i think in between the downs, it really soured the 2011 for me. but i shall not dwell on that anymore, with a few private posts i have vented out before, i shall remind myself of the happier times in 2011 in this post.
let's see....
jan: coming back from the japan trip with the girls (lyd, steph and jing<3), the new semester starting in nus and celebrating meimei's bday with the fartty ladies:)
feb: cny<3, spending more time with the 'family' (esp. vday with them watching movie! haha!) and having steph as my new study buddy:)
mar, apr: mugging mugging mugging:( on the brighter note, i had jing and steph as study buddies:)
may, jun: hiroshima internship! :) 1 week at kagoshima with my host family! :D 1 week at tokyo with steph! :D
jul: back to spore and not working for the 1st time during the summer break! the good thing, i had baobei for company and jing too:)
aug: start of nus again. but last sem! woohoo! started the weekly lunch with shan and connie:)
sep: mugging mugging mugging with steph! start of our u-town days!
oct: sentosa spooktacular with ahwee! :), my bday:), deadlines:(
nov: mugging mugging mugging with steph! sometimes with shan! END OF NUS!!!!!!!!!! :D
dec: went back to carpe diem to work:) busy month of work but definitely worth it, with all the joy that the kids bring to me:) knowing that tham jiamin will be there when i need her:) thanks love<3 ohhhh, and being able to whatsapp with cathrin! :DD
yupp, it seems like a very simplified version of what happened in 2011, but to tell the truth, some memories become very fuzzy by now. haha.
i liked 2011 because it was a year which i spent the most time with steph, which i thoroughly enjoy since i can tell her random stupid stuff and talk about anything, help me with my work, laugh/mock at me when i say stupid things and endure the long hours of mugging with a schedule that suit both of us well:) yes, so steph, thanks for 2011:) i wouldn't have survive it without you<3
i liked 2011 also because it was a year i finally established a more stable friendship with friends from NUS with shan and connie after knowing them from the hiroshima internship trip:) and also meeting up with ppl from CF09 (mingyou, fabian, bek, kiamian and jiawen). though we hardly talk throughout the year, but during meet-ups, it is never awkward with them and they put up with all the nonsense that i come up with too. hahaha:D
yupp, 2011 hadn't been a bad year thinking back on all the things that have happened in totality:) it may not have ended on the best note for me, but i had the kids to brighten it up and karmun to talk to:) so thankyou karmun, for being there when i needed you to be and i am glad we are sorta resuming back to meeting once a week now (though we haven met for this week yet!! hahaha!). and of coz, i am waiting impatiently in anticipation for the impulsive decision we made to realize in actuality:) hahaha!
i think in 2011 i had taken some things for granted, wishing for some things to remain the same and wishing for some other things to be something else. but i realised now, all these things can only happen in the way i hope it can turn out to be if i set my heart at doing it. so i will try my best to make sure they happen in the way i want it to be in 2012:)
but first, i need to figure out what i want. i am coming close to a decision of what i want to accomplish this year; i only wish i have the determination to see it through. but for now, i am still gonna give myself some more time to think and consider my options.
yupp, i hope 2012 would be a year of surprises for me (good ones i hope, i had enough of the bad shocks from 2011)!
okay, i shall slp now, since i gotta work tml! looking forward to spending to yet another busy day. hopefully less crying and more laughter from the toddlers tml! but if it doesn't happens, it's okay. i know i always have my french boy to cheer me up:)
because some things can never be the same as before.
