GOODBYE 2011 HELLO 2012 :DShall not try to recall in details what happen since the last post HAHA. I just remembered I attended 3 camps during the 3 months break and TA-DAA school starts ((: Was so excited for my Hong Kong trip and now it ended with just a blink of an eye. I made great "uncle friends". They have so much to tell and I just have so much to absorb. I definitely enjoy those enriching moments, and of course the fun we had when we bitch about this someone whom I hate since I had to cooperate with **(FYI: I don't even have to see ** to hate **, sometimes, you just have to work with someone and you know what a person is like) I still remember the flight back and I talked continously to David and Janice. I was exhasuted mentally because I only had a 2 hours sleep last night but I just endear chatting with them that I actually forgot about the need to let my eyes rest. HOHO. Beside this, I think fate brought my senior and I BACK together. It may sound exaggerating but I really feel fate has been the one bringing Sabrina(my senior) and I closer during the whole trip. We started off knowing each other names, talked a few times and was in the same Malay group by chance. After a few meetings, we still don't really get to talk much but we sort of know each other well enough to crack jokes. I remembered clearly that day; I was talking to Ho Yeung and he suddenly let out that I was from RV. Once hearing that, Sabrina jumped to me and said she was from RV too! We started disclosing our schools and she was from National too ((: Woohoo. We became more intimate since then and I was overjoyed to know we were going to be roomies for the HK trip :D I don't know if it was fate or Munkit saw the sudden excitment reunion Sab and I made that time. Oh well. It was a good arrangement :D She is a few years older than me and has always been taking care of me throughout the whole trip. HAHA. THANK YOU SAB. Just one last thing to mention about this HK trip is this programme that I attended; Dialogue in the Dark. It is a social enterprise that helps to raise the awareness of the physically impaired and they have many centres to simulate the world of the physically impaired. I undergone a 75 minutes journey and it was the best part of my life; total darkness and all I could rely on was the voice of my guide called Tommy who is a physically impaired person. At the end of the journey, he shared with us his life and how he suffered from visual difficulty when he was 30 years old. Life......we should not wait till the day we lose a part of us to only realise the importance, yeah? hmmmm
Let me look back in the year of 2011 ! so that I would know what kind of 2012 I would like to have HAHA.
So my year started off with a new year steamboat with Leng Kee YEC. Leng Kee is a place full of joy and laughters; we plan small-scale events together; helping out one another. Though we only have official meeting once a month, the events more or less actually in total, I would say took up 30% of my life in 2011.
LOL. I just spent the entire 2 hours looking through my photos for 2011. I feel so accomplished :D hahaha. and I had GREAT 20TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION. REALLY. I ACTUALLY HAD 8 cake CELEBRATIONS IN TOTAL?! OMGGGGGG. madness. I didn't really feel that I celebrated that much but really want to express my hearfelt gratitude to my best friends and my new friends for the celebration. I get to experience celebration with people I know so well and people who barely know me but still celebrate beause it is my birthday :D THANK YOU. XOXO.
Then, my JAPAN, TAIWAN AND HONG KONG TRIPS :D I went overseas three times in total this year (2011). Japan during CHINESE NEW YEAR, Taiwan during late July, Hong Kong in December. OMGGGGG. HAHAHA. These three overseas trips are not within the boundary of Southeast Asia :D and took a minmum of 4 hours flight to travel :D It may sound nothing to some but for me, from a family with four kids, I guess my mum really took a HUGE back step to allow me to go. I feel so fortunate to be able to travel, really. Thank you mummy and daddy :D 2011 is the year when my mummy finally relented and allowed me to travel with my friends for a backpack taiwan trip. It was definitely a first step out to my freedom. I yearn for more freedom of course, but at the same I am afraid of it. It means I am stepping closer towards adulthood, towards being fully independent. Sometimes, I'm afraid I would astray and changed to someone I would not imagine myself to be. Japan's trip was with my family and nothing would be more awesome than the times spent with my family. HAHA. but it is also this trip today that I realise my parents are not young anymoreeee. They couldn't take those roller coaster rides that we used to take together during the Korea's trip. *SIGH* Taiwan trip was with Juat Ying and Valerie :D I did the most embarrassing thing ever and I bet they would remember for life. HAHA. I don't know why but when I'm with my close friends, I tend to let my guard down and do funny actions. People actually have this impression that I am very fierce and they don't dare to stand near me during photo-taking? HAHA. I bet all my close friends would laugh if I tell them that. They would just all hit me I guess.
Wow. actually those photos don't look that bad. HAHA.
I forgot what was my new year's resolution for 2011. I remembered they were all quite feasible and simple. Be filial. Enjoy Life. Use money wisely. hahahahaha. I think I fulfilled all for this year. SO "TONG" for this year ! HAHA. I have not really think of what resolutions should I set in year 2012, I think I should give it a more serious thought since it would be the year I turn 21 and I know I would definitely want to lead a serious life and stop whining like a kid that much. Okay. Till then :D HAPPY NEW YEAR !
