that are to be unraveled because that's precisely what SHE (or rather
me,) is all about. if you know me, welcome to another side of me.
but if you don't know me, it's okay. i still welcome you into a world of me
and what happens. i'm not anywhere near perfect, but here is where
i share my experiences and learnings. hope you'll be blessed reading
my entries!
LOVE YOU!

haven't blogged for quite a few days, but the moment i do, it's definitely news! :D I'M TURNING 20 IN A FEW HOURS TIME. and right now, i'm going to write well, what i've been feeling. my 19th year started with Rag Dance because i was in the midst of it at that time. it was also punctured with a surprise call from my ex-boyfriend, who is currently my bbff. and that was my first day as a 19-year-old.

the 19th year was eventful, with the many ups and downs that i've experienced. and it has really been a year of many new things as well. i started classes at NUS and screwed up my modules quite a fair bit. but, that was a fun experience. learnt japanese and french in school. had a taste of many things that i dreamt of learning or have learnt before, but had it taught in a different way. life as a university student is much harder than i imagined it to be. the amount of discipline that one much possess. the level of responsibility that one takes over his own learning. the passion that you show in each class is very evident to the teaching assistant or lecturer. there's much more freedom, and much more room for falling, very badly. but all in all, it's a growing mistakes. in my 20th year, hopefully i'll learn from the mistakes of the past and have a stunning second academic year here in NUS.

my 19th was also spent in hall for the first time, also marking my first year of independent living outside of the home. a year where juggling personal and social time was really a test because of the amount of social activities there were both in and out of hall. my first year as a shearite came with successes and disappointments. disappointments like not getting into the band as a singer because i'm not rock, nor powerful enough. not getting into geyao because i forgot my chinese lyrics. not heading SE well enough and allowing it to fail despite the fact that something could have been done about it. but at the same time, there were successes, like block comm, which i will be stepping up to head the coming year, and which was a great experience because i made a new family. level6, my pride and joy, no matter where in the world/society they may be in right now. convening comm where i had an experience marketing for an event and CMB where i kinda grew somewhat as well, in many different senses. overall, the first year in hall was a challenging, surprising and new experience that i will keep with me. the block suppers, buaya week, living in a room alone. the stress, the joy. the drinking sessions. the steamboat sessions. hahas. they will all be part of my everlasting memory.

i have about 10 more minutes to type all that i want to say because i have to leave this place to my next destination. this surprise period of time that i have to rest, well, is just amazing i think. at least i have a chance to blog before my 20th. and i did many things as well. some which i may remember to mention, some which i may forget. during my 19th year, i went for 2 auditions, 2 10km "marathons", countless clubbing parties. made a lot of new friends. was a mentor in PVC2. have a new family - Youth Factory. have a new family - Block Comm. have a new home - Sheares Hall. dabbled in many different languages. learnt to live alone. learnt to do laundry. learnt to spend my time wisely because there's just so little time! stepped up to various leadership positions. became skinnier by a bit. became prettier by a lot. :) hahas. danced my life away for a period. clubbed my life away for a period. became a little more sociable. because very much more confident about the way that i look. started to eat healthier. exercise more. grown somewhat closer to N415. bought a bikini. bought loads of new cheap clothes that don't look cheap for the first time. owned 2 new Guess? bags. went overseas for holidays with the whole family. played sports that i've never played before. found out who are my true friends and who are not.

hahas. so that's the end of my 10mins. i spent part of it dressing up. :P now. i'm getting ready to go out! oh. i bought a new 2GB SD card for my camera and i can take 1400+ photos! :D super happiness. i'm going trigger happy tonight. YEY!
