Happy 2013.
I'm feeling very thankful right now for many things; not everything is perfect and many people have it better but I'm still comfortable. I hope I keep this in mind for the year ahead and remind myself not to take things for granted and give thanks. This year, I want to be better. A kinder sister, a more tolerant daughter, a more caring friend, a more active (or just less passive) person and a more conscientious student.
I'm in a reaaaally reflective mode right now and found 10 meaningful areas to reflect on.
1. Important people in my life
Mummy definitely is the most important person in my life. I'm like most talkative when I'm with her because I can tell her anything, both my kind and evil thoughts... She's always giving me advice, telling me how I could've dealt with things better or how I should go about doing things. And I love how she never ever puts pressure on me when it comes to school. I told her I felt gg for the Accounting paper and she texted me this: 女儿，人之所以能，是相信能。你是能者。It's quite cheesy, especially the last part. But when I read it on the way to school for the paper that afternoon I almost wanted to cry. Mummy has so much faith in me that I don't even have in myself!!!!!! :') And she makes food for me to eat which is actually not bad and I only recently realised how hard it is to cook when Xin En and I decided to whip up a meal ourselves... everything was chao tah lor
I am also thankful for my friends, many of whom I don't keep constant contact (because I am a detached person) with but everything still feels okay when we see each other. In 2012, Si Min was my closest/an important friend in the sense that she knew what was happening in my life in great detail (even how many times I shit a day she probably also knew and then we would talk about how we should eat more fruits). Sometimes I can't believe how frivolous the things we talk about are but I know they will be fond memories when we look back in future. And I/we often wonder if we were of opposite sex we would have been a couple going ten years and strong or perhaps gotten married even hahahahahhaha. (Ok at this point in time I wanna say that I have no lesbian tendencies towards her or anyone, just a thought!!!) Right now I still feel that I will be okay when school starts and she's away for exchange, I hope I don't suddenly become depressed or smth
2. What to have more/less of
This is so vague I could do with more money less pimples
3. Achievements/highlights
For the first time, I went overseas without my family to Taiwan with Rachel. And JB with Candice and Esther on two separate occasions hahaha. (Perth with Joel and Weiyi wasn't counted because Joel took care of everything!) It was an experience to take charge of the Taiwan trip, from planning the itinerary to settling accommodation to getting around ourselves. The scenery and weather at Danshui was especially memorable, would've been awesome if we sat down to have a picnic!! And the fact that I think we booked a couple room in Jiufen and the bathroom was a bit open concept and me getting stuck in the toilet and end up having to get the minsu guy to help us open the door.. Oh not to forget our one Ferarri two Brad Pitt game. The only regret was not catching a single sunrise even though we had perfect view from our room on three occasions in Jiufen and Alishan. And I also regret not eating more street food and buying more clothes. I should have just tried stinky tofu and oyster meesua and bought all the things I thought were nice and not look at the price tags because IOLO and I probably won't be going back to Taiwan anytime soon. Will keep this in mind on my next trip!
Also, I redeemed myself from the sucky grade I obtained in the first semester of uni which would not have even gotten me any honours. I mean like I was working and studying the last sem but I did better than in my first so... I don't know what I was thinking/doing in the first sem also la. I have mentioned many times how working and studying at the same time has made me spend my time more wisely and I'm glad! My results aren't fantastic now also but at least still in the running to get honours lol and while grades do not define anyone I do feel slightly better about myself with slightly better results... Like, at least I am not thaaat stupzz and if I put in the effort I could still do average
I finally got down to my second attempt at BTT (jokezz) and started driving lessons. Better late than never, right? I think the achievement to me is actually funding my own lessons from my own pocket! To a certain extent I do enjoy being independent (albeit only financially, and only in this case hahaha).
Something also noteworthy is that the cousins got closer in 2012! We met up quite regularly throughout the year and I must thank Weijing for being ever so patient in organising and on about outings to the Jason Mraz and The Wanted concerts, the zoo, and always offering her place for our gatherings :') I truly feel that Weijing is a precious gem and Weifeng is a lucky man. Jeriel is also back for good after completing his studies and we have more in common to talk about because of what we study! I am grateful for my extended family ♥
4. What to be excited about in 2013
I don't have great plans for 2013 as of yet, maybeeeeeee a possible trip to Korea? Being a year closer to my graduation? Or getting my driving license on first attempt? LOL I don't think that's possible so there's nothing much to look forward to in 2013. It's okay because Rachel says Albert Schweitzer says that "eventually all things fall into place. Until then, laugh at the confusion, live for the moments, and know everything happens for a reason." But I do hope that I get to intern somewhere good and have a great experience so that I continue looking forward to the working life upon graduation because I really am sick of studying. All my life has been major exams one after another. After uni, enough is enough.
Oh I totally forgot about turning 21. Not sure if it's smth to be excited or meh about though
