The road so far... 2012

Its the last day of the year of 2012, duh! Its the first time I use mobile blogging, its an impulse.. (On a bus, on the way to meet Ivy)

This year is certainly quite an ok year, as usual, some up and some down.. But still better as compares to 3 years back.. Time flew, doesn't it? Although I say that every year, but the passage of time is not exactly flowing the same.. Some feels longer, some feels right.. Finally, I am at the last leg of my poly education.. I am glad and relief that the end is near.. I can finally move on and do my own things, and finally I can say that this route has ended, the past will be behind me..

I am really surprised by the changes that happened this year, whether its it good or bad, it's hard to really say until I can prove it.. One thing that I really came to realize, especially after my recent meet up with Mr Ong is self compassion (which I only know the term even more recently), my experience with my current band, NYPSO had indeed almost ruined my passion, of which most of the people around me either didn't really know or understand what has happened, which I cannot blamed if they're not directly part of this horribly orchestrated series of event.. That was the trigger, the last straw.. When we talked through it, he made me realised that all along I had the answers, which I am aware, I just didn't want to face it.. And he also drew my attention to some things that although I knew but failed to acknowledge.. Bottom line is that this year made me realised that people are indeed selfish, be it peers, people around you, even your closest friend and family, last but not least, thyself, everyone.. At the end of the day what matter is yourself, as in, what do you want to achieve, not those, the world only revolves around me that kind.. What you're willing to do, might not be what others are willing to give..

So I really learnt a lesson, some people can be so darn selfish that they are willing to ruin others just so that they can proof themselves, their stand, without any concern for others nor the situation.. At times I had wished that I am not so considerate towards the whole picture and just blow out on the spot to proved my point too.. What happened last time was damaging to me, albeit none physical, but still, made tremendous impact on certain aspect of myself.. At the end of everything, which I am glad that it kind of goin to end, at least at the end of the day, I finally can put things down..

When I turned 21 this year, it made me really face some decisions that I previously I hadn't think through and that's why I was in a situation that left me high and dry.. But I will manage, and things will sure have its sunny and it's rainy days, it's a new journey ahead, especially starting from March!

I have many things to look forward to, from getting a new job, to building my very first rig and to prepare for my very first overseas trip to Japan and Taiwan in 2014, it seems really far, but I am glad that I will have a chance to be there by my own effort!

It will definitely be a year full of changes, big or small, it's still inevitable, I will just have to take one step at a time!前進め!

Okay, so tomorrow I suppose to go out of Singapore...

Going Batam with Ivy, Siew Keng and Straven!

Honestly, I am a little more than excited I guess, since it's like eons (7 years) ago since I actually go on an actual trip, rather than a one day trip kinda thing.. So totally looking forward to getting massage and all.. My parents are kinda hyped up, cannot blame them either since they're naturally worried and Batam is not the safest place on Earth, still, for Gaia's sake I have to go out there eventually, moreover it's just a 3 days 2 night trip, plus it's not like we're wandering around.. But I do appreciate it..

Anyway, since I am done packing, I should really get some sleep soon, if not..

Hope I can take nice pictures on the trip! ^^

I start to think that buying yarn is like buying shoes (kinda), its never enough.. And the selections are tempting, when I see this, I feel like making hat, see that, it can be a bag, etc.. So yea..

I bought new yarn today! :D Although its a gift for others, but I am so glad.. Oh shit.. Haha..

Time flies like nobody's business..

I think it's rather inevitable that my blog will rot time and again..

It's always fun to revisit some of my old posts to find out what exactly happened a year ago or etc.. But to think that I have actually forgotten that I actually changed to a new skin for this blog is kinda something new..

Anyway, looking at present, I am at my fifth semester already! In fact, end of fifth semester! This blog was started when I was Year 1 in MI, meaning that it is about 5 years old! Wow.. I am finally on my final semester! Things are not doing very well this semester, but not the worst yet, which is still good because I think a little down makes the next upturn sweeter.. And I think I should have mopped enough, I mean last time I had mopped a long, long time, so now it's more about how to rectify things and make things straight again rather than mopping which will achieve absolutely nothing!

IAP which had just ended taught me how to work, which makes me more ready to go out to work.. And also I finally feel slightly better since I am "earning" some allowance due to IAP, makes me feel slightly more financially "independent", so now I just want to focus on "enjoying" the last of my poly days.. Since I would never know if I still have chance to meet my current polu clique anymore.. Especially some of them are international students..

Many things have changed, especially last few years, to think that the old me was at that state kinda shocked me, after all it didn't really occur to me that it was happening.. All I feel was that I was in this weird trance.. But that's part of life too I guess, everyone have their own phase..

On the other hand, its time for me to tryout as much new things as I can for this holiday, although I doubt it will be much, but I want the grades to pay back! It's pay back time, man! I want to give as much as I can for this final semester! Clear it and move on with life!

Since the next year its a crucial year for me, along with my plan I want to achieve as much as I can within this one year and go Uni after my Japan and Taiwan trip with Ivy! ((:

Maybe I should start planning for NaNoWrimo 2012! And hopefully I can conquer this challenge, unless the school schedule is screwed up..

Oh well, later!
