2012 - the year of fulfilling dreams

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Let's start with my resolutions I set for 2012:

- I will make sure my thinking will be positive more, negative less.
- I will reduce my moodswings.
- I will smile more.
- I will give less blank/black face
- I will try my best to stay in contact with every important person of my life

I'm glad to say that I achieved all of them!! Maybe I didn't achieve them very "nicely", but at least I achieved them :) Now it's time to reflect and sum up 2012!

1: Myself

This is me during 2012. More smiles right!! Happy me is happy :) I think I still look the same? Changed my smiling technique now since the bf complimented that I look nice when I smile with teeth so.. :D Crazy usage of contact lens and minimal makeup whenever I can since I wanna look pretty lol. My confidence level drop when I wear spectacles but at least I am more comfortable with it! I have more positive thoughts as compared to the past so overall, I am a happier person now :) Graduated from Ngee Ann Poly and now I'm at the next stage - University! Worked during the IT Show and get to know lots of awesome people and I joined the Epi family @ SSQ before I left during September for school. Awesome co-workers that treated me like a little girl but sometimes a maid :x AND I AM 20 Y/O OMG O_O


2: Family

My family are still the same. Not good at expressing feelings and still always talking loudly to each other (but this is how we communicate :x) Everyone is healthy and I am really glad :) The 4 little girls you see are my little cousins/nieces. 2012 is a year wherever I am closer to my cousins/nephews/nieces (both my Dad & Mum's side). Family bond is something I will always treasure. Looking forward to taking more pictures with them during 2013! :)


3: Love

Say hi to my boyfriend! We're reaching our 3rd year this January 15. Longest relationship ever. Yes, I am still hopelessly in love with him \(^~^)/ 2012 is a year we grow to understand each other better. He is currently still in NS now and I am proud to call him my man :) We may have misunderstandings and little arguments because of my clumsiness and carelessness, but we are still strong. Sorry for the times I made you mad, sorry for the times I made you cry, sorry for always PMS-ing and making you tolerating them, and I'm sorry for the times I am selfish and not thinking in your shoes. Thank you for always understanding me, teaching me to believe in myself, and also loving me. With him, I get to learn new things, discover a different side of me, and also grow to be a better person :) Looking forward to a year with him and hopefully the future years as well :)

"Love doesn't need to be perfect. It just needs to be true."


4: Friends

2012 is the year I get to meet all of my awesome friends! (Some are not in the picture)
The Lim sisters: Zhi Yi & Zhi Yun. The cutest sisters ever!! Totally glad that we met and grew close during CCA :) Although I don't meet them often because we're all busy, we still make the effort to ask each other to go to shopping sprees together! Hope to meet them more during 2013!

Hui Ming GF. Nothing to say other than my best gf ever! Finally get to meet her after 1.5 years of not meeting last year. The one who will have long hours of HTHT with me, give me advices and laugh at me :x Although you always laugh at me but I know you love me kay gf! :D I think we met the most during 2012 as compared to other years :o Let's meet even more this year!! :D

Geraldine BFF. The busy girl who still cab a lot, and still like spending money on me :/ 2012 is also the year we shared our "love issues" since she had so much guys falling for her hahaha you know what I mean right dine ^^ Glad she met the one who treats her right and appreciates her as compared to the other jerks who hurt her. Earn more money but spend less on clubs and cabs, and meet me more! :D

Shin Darling. Oh my god I think I only get to meet her twice during 2012 :o All of us are always busy and I miss my 3SOME! Miss laughing at her blurness :x Even though we don't meet as much, the love is always there! :)

SYB. Even though we have one less person now, we communicate better and meet up even more! :) From our 6 person clique to 5 to 4 and to the 3 of us now, I am glad we still manage to maintain our friendship even though we're now on different paths. The 2 of them see me grow from an "ah lian" to a matured girl :x And we're still gossiping and joking like how we used to be during our secondary school days! 2013 shall be the year we meet more and joke even more! :)

The Kick Ass family. My second family! Our group seems to be changing a lot during 2012 but I hope this year we will stay the same and meet up more (not only on 21st birthdays since there's only 3 people turning 21 on 2013 :x)

5: HAMS

Yes HAMS deserve a paragraph by themselves! :D They are the closest group of sisters I have among the other of my friends. Met during my poly days and on 2012, we graduated together and now we're studying/working. Even though we're busy, we still take the effort to meet every month! Glad that this is still ongoing because this means we will not drift apart and can be updated with each other's life! I hope our sistership and friendship will continue till we grow old (not too much to ask for right? ^^) 2013 shall be our year because WE ARE TURNING 21!!

Hui Yi Lalala. Thank you for tolerating my random PMS and jokes for the past few years :x Every now and then I will think of the times we stick together during projects, how we ignore our lecturers during class, and how we struggle to do our work :x Thank you for being such a good friend, my twin, and my partner. You're our only full time worker so continue to work hard and earn more money! Hopefully you'll study soon then we can see each other in school! :)

Min Duan Lifepartner. I guess a paragraph will not be enough :x The best lifepartner I can ever ask for. My "10 years friend", my "neighbour", my sister and hopefully we can be family (you know what I mean :D) Glad that we're classmates once again! Thank you for always encouraging me, advising me, be my listening ear when I need one, and for always being there when I need you. Sorry for the times I laugh at you (but you know I'm only joking right!), always making you teach me when I face problems during class, and also always sheltering me when it rains :x 2012 is the year we grew closer to each other and like I said, I am thankful to have you around me and let's work hard for 2013! Hopefully I can be your colleague again soon and remember to not keep your xin shi to yourself because you can always count on me :)

Jie Si Babey. My friend since Secondary 3! Should be fate that we meet once again during poly and then get close :) Sad that we are in the same school yet different course T_T HAMS will always support you when you need help. All you need to do is say! Thank you for being the friend I always need and always caring for me when I almost fall (which always happens).  Jiayou for your work and studies!

 6: Travel

2012 is the year I traveled the most! I went to Genting during the start of the year with the bf, JB for Legoland during the later part of the year with Erin & Wee Chong, then to Hong Kong and Macau at the end of the year with the bf's family! 4 places in a year, how awesome can it be! :D Glad to say that I conquered the scary roller coasters and rides which makes me feel that I am braver! :x Going to HK is a dream come true for me and I even get to visit Disneyland during their Christmas special :) I get to see my favourite Aliens from Toy Story (people who know me should know how crazy I am for them :x) and also Eeyore!! I swear I teared some tears of joy :') 

In conclusion, 2012 is my best year ever so far. But I have a feeling, my 2013 will be even better. 2012 may be a year of tears, fears, and hurt, but it is also a year of tears of joy, smiles, conquering of fears, and love. My resolutions of 2013 will be:
- To work hard for my studies
- Earn more money but spend less
- Travel even more
- Meet and stay in contact with friends who are important to me
- To smile more
- To reduce my random PMS and negative thoughts
- Everyone to stay healthy and happy
- Love myself more
- More love, less hate

HAPPY 2013 everyone! :) 2013 will be the year of achieving.
