This space had been abandoned for the longest time. (as usual) Too many random things happened since the last post. Previously I was still getting over my ex, then enjoying the single hood. It’s funny how one year can make so much difference in one’s life. Basically, the past year can be summarized by a number of significant events.
Event #1: Last sem in Poly
The last sem in TRM was the most dramatic one. Given the numerous obstacles in projects and chionging of projects during New Year’s Eve. [Felt so sad for myself when I was happily baking on the New Year's Eve of 2012 - one year later]
Event #2: Graduating from Poly.
Up till now, almost a year after graduation, I never regretted my decision in going to NP. IMO, I feel that is it easier to score in poly with the prerequisite of LUCK. Thanks to the good luck that I have, I met 4 of the best project mates (turned insane friends) there, slogged my life away with them and got a GPA of 3.76. Which is quite an achievement given that i only got 3.5 & 3.6 for the first 2 sems. Parted ways with Pinky (work), seeing(NTU) and lilin(SIA).
Event #3: Graduation Trip
We started talking about the trip way before school ended to de-stress. Destination changed from US to Japan and finally to Taiwan. Had the greatest time with the girls while we were there although the trip wasn’t as long as planned due to the earthquake in Japan. But nonetheless, it was an unforgettable and irreplaceable experience. On our 3rd day there, we met a group of Singaporeans which eventually lead to Event #4.
Event #4: Getting together with Jia Han.
What else can I say other than FATE brought us together. I always believed in fate but our meet up was definitely one of the highest level of what fate can do. What are the chances of one group of Singaporeans hitting on another group of Singaporeans? High? Try adding “In a Taiwan club” then.
After convincing the girls that we should go clubbing together in Taiwan so that we can experience the nightlife of Taiwan (plus it will be the only time that we will club together), we were just minding our own business, drinking our own shots in LAVA, when a group of guys came up to us and said: 小姐,你們好。我們是從新加坡來的。今天是我們的最後一個晚上。And then we were all like O.O
And that was how our story started. On the 9th of March 2011. That very night, I also got to know a group of guys that are unique and interesting in their own ways. And eventually, the guy whom I thought was a shy, introverted guy (due to some misunderstandings) who was trying a little too hard turned out to be the sweetest, most reliable and meticulous guy. A series of events occurred in between – My 20th, Jia Han’s 21st at MBS, weekly friday outing with the guys, wavehouse on wednesdays, clubbing, MJ, hosting of my Taiwan friends. I stared developing feelings for him but brushed it off cos I was about to enroll into University and I wanted to experience the best of it and of course, keep my options open as at that point I could not be sure that he was the right one. Right before uni camps started on the 5th of July 2011, I decided that we should not put things off any further as it would be unfair for him and decided to give the both of us a chance. Time flies and we are one day away from the half year mark of our relationship. This relationship is very much different from before (in a good way) as he is a very disciplined and responsible guy who can’t live with mundane daily activities. Which means with him, we spend each day fruitfully and do new things once in awhile. Although we may quarrel once in a while, but I believe that nothing cannot be worked out and no differences cannot be ironed out as long as there is mutual understand and constant communication. Sounding all philosophical. haha
Event #5: New School – SMU
Just seconds before the closure for acceptance of universities, I was still faced with a tough decision. NTU or SMU. NTU is where many of my friends are at and it only takes three years. However, I prefer the culture, location and teaching style of SMU. So in the end, there was a slightly stronger pulling force towards SMU and that is where I am at now. First term in SMU is now over and I did not do well. In fact, I did quite badly. Wells, I know myself. It takes one or two lousy grades before I will start to buck up and study. Resolution for 2012: Do much better than first sem.
Surprisingly, university life is much more flexible and slack as compared to poly and it isn as scary as I thought. (SO I GUESS I FOUND WHERE THE PROBLEM LIES) I had a four day school week last sem and is going to have a three day school week the coming sem. Spells S.H.I.O.K to me
Event #6: Caderas!
Now, what is university life without a CCA. Thanks to my very supportive bf, I can once again join a dance cca. (Quitted Dancesports in Poly) Performance is coming up on 27th Jan. Training can be quite intensive (tue, thu and sat) but enjoyable.
2 Things that I am looking forward to in 2012:
1) Trip to Europe
If everything goes smoothly, Caderas will be going to Italy, Milan and Croatia for competition, salsa workshop and salsa festival respective. Exciting much!
2) Trip with darling to US
A 1 month trip to Eastern and Western USA! WOOHOOO!!!
So I just summarized a year into 1000 words! Kudos to me and goodnight to those random peeps who visits my abandoned blog <3
