Closure to 2014

19 days late but better late then never. Been wanting to do this ever since I'm back from my last trip but I was too lazy/ busy/ tired/ bored/ insertsallkindsofexcuses. 

Anyway, 2014 has been a roller coaster ride. I can't find any suitable word to describe how the year actually went from high to low and then back on track again. Penning them now on words seem like the best way to put a proper closure to the year before moving on.

1) End of intern(shit)

Why the *shit. Not that I was suffering from the internship because of the job scope/ the people/ everythingrelatedtothework, but because it gave me too many internal struggles and mental stress. I met really really nice and one of the better ones I met during working (not that I worked a lot previously). But the entire 5 months, I spent more than half of the internship comparing what I do with what my friends are doing. I spent the same amount of time trying to figure out what do I have to include in my assignment. I always had nothing to share when we had gathering and that was really very hard for me. 
I couldn't bear to leave the place, I swear. The ladies were too nice and the bond was almost getting a lot better at the time of leaving. But I knew I had too, because I will end up staying at the same spot even after months. So I left and continue to 2). 

2) Sourcing for jobs

Kept low about it. None of my friends knew about it, only my family did. I didn't knew why I did that. Actually I started sending my resumes way before intern ended but I ignored the calls because they were calling during office hours and no way am I going to pick up the call when I was still working there. 
So soon after Chinese New Year, I started all over again and going for interviews. I wasn't ready, but I just went for it. I didn't want to end up having nothing to do when the others were given the chance to carry on in their internship positions. Maybe not all but because I was too affected by those that mattered and was envious of. I knew I had to do it because I might fall into the state of demoralisation. I might not even end up to where I am today. 

2) Application for my Driving License 

At the same time of sourcing for a job, I went ahead and apply for my driving license. I had to do it at that point because I know if I'm not going to do it, I'm never gonna do it. Driving adventures are still going on and I hope this can be my 21st birthday present to myself.  

3) Universal Studios Singapore with my fattygang + 1 boy

Actually this point is not very important but because of this trip, I got a pair of USS tickets from RWS (http://on.fb.me/15fqjtc). &anywhere, anything, everything, everywhere is fun with the favourite girls. (:

4) Krabi

Graduation trip with the classmates to Krabi, Thailand. Despite the lack of time, I guess we had one of the greatest time together as a class. Talking about this do make me miss the times we had in school and how much trouble (fun) we are always causing. White water rafting and ATV were really good but super dangerous because that was the first time I really thought I was going to die because during the rafting, there was an accident that caused our raft to be hit and got stuck behind a rock with all the other rafts were hitting on ours. Our raft was already ready to flip at almost 90deg but thankfully safe and sound at the end of the day. Else, I won't be here penning these down. HAHAHA.

5) New Job

Landed myself at where I am currently and deeply blessed to meet another group of people who had made me comfortable for the past 10 months here. The job allows me to meet and liase with different people. Taught me how to make my own decisions and solve my own problems. Of course, there were struggles but which job doesn't have one. Original intention was to stay for a year (there were intentions of giving up in the middle) but I guess, I had to reconsider now. 

6) Graduation

Final year of poly and done with school. No more assignments, no more projects, no more datelines to rush through. Graduation photoshoot with the class in school and separate graduation photoshoot with my favourite people. Blessed with people who took their time off to watch my graduation/ take photos with me. 

7) Loss of family members 

The demons of all diseases took away my beloved people. The most struggles faced, the most nerve breaking moments, the most horrible moments, the most regrettable times, the most tiring times. They are at a better place now looking over us but it was never easy to move on. 


8) Family trip to Taiwan

The last minute to getting tickets and joining my cousins for the trip. The trip has been good especially when my mum finally could leave her workplaces for a good 1 week and relax. Visited to many different places all thanks to the planning of my cousin. The weather was good too except the first few days when it was raining during the times when we were outdoors. Next trip soon! (: 


Pretty much summarised 2014 and it's time to slowly move forward to 2015. Looking forward to what it has to offer me and definitely hoping for a better year. 
Side note: Time is passing so damn fast now that 19 days thru the year seems like it had passed through a breeze. Didn't even felt like it's been this long! 

Cliche of not, 

Dear 2015, please be good. 

Till then.
