/ The last photo for 2013



I guessed this is the post where I'll actually take the time to look back at how i spent the past
365 days.

#1 ; Finally ended my study life (For G o o d)

Just when i thought that O levels was the toughest examination that I could ever take in my life,
here i am now, not believing with the amount of examinations that i took at a span of 16 years.

From Olevels, to diploma, then degree, & to think that it has all ended,  i enrolled for my
Real Estate Salesperson Course.

And this year marks the end of my education,
I'm a degree holder and a certified real estate agent.

#2 ; Friends 

"We lost some along the way, & we gain new ones on the way."

/ I'm glad the 10 of us are still so close & at unison throughout all these years.
Despite all of us being busy growing up & taking responsibilities, 
through the times we meet, we'll forever be 'young at heart' (If yknow what i mean, hahaha)

I love you girls so so much, & i know that in 50 years to come we'll still be together no matter what.

/ & to the 姐妹s
The gems that I've got to know in this real world where at times you can't even tell if a person is being genuine or bluntly, 'fake'.

Can never be more thankful for every single one of you that is unique in your own way,
 being there for me in every way.

Bimbotic at heart. Inside & out. 


/Zoe 
With 431 photos taken together (according to Facebook), I have no idea which is 
my favourite one to put here.
Inserts photo yourself!

Thank You for being such an amazing friend & being just the way you are.


There's so many more.
Mel. Belly. Connie. Stephanie. Rachel. The guys & girls.

Can't be any more thankful to have you people in my life & making my 2013 filled with joy & love.

 & to the friendship that has ended with 'we just stopped talking'
It's not that I choose to 'just stopped talking'. 
It's more of  much thought, reflection & consideration that I felt & am sure that it's better if we are better like that.
You have your reasons & i have mine. 
& i guessed we both just grew out of it & became too different.
Still, i wished you all the best.


#3; First time going Overseas with my friends!

Can't be any happier that I've finally received the Golden Ticket from my parents, 
they finally let me fly somewhere else with my friends!

#4; Family

Mommy & Daddy

Thank you both for being so supportive of me since day 1.
The decisions I've made in 2013, you didn't doubt me a single bit.

Daddy, "You can do it, of course you can. You're my daughter."
Mummy, "Nevermind. It's okay. We can always try again."

& I always have this thought that my mum secretly follows me on twitter.
Whenever I tweet things like, "craving for durian pancakes..", this & that,
miraculously they would appear in her shopping bag when she's home the next day,
hahahaha

Love you fatty although you're so annoying at times.

& Last but not least,

You're such an amazing person that I really don't know where to start from if i have to thank you for.
You've definitely made me a better person since the first day we met 
& from you I've learnt to set my priorities right & be more independent, well,  a t   t i m e s.

Likewise, 2013 has been splendid with you by my side, 
& here we are now, racing for our dreams together.

I don't think I'm able to thank you enough.

Not forgetting the little highlights of 2013

I..

- Had braces

- Realised that getting a corporate job was the worst decision EVER.
^ This ain't one of the better things that happened in 2013 but i decided that its better to have it written here than to elaborate further, as i do not want to recall how horrible that job was.

- Realised that the simplest things in life are the happiest.

.
.


And i must say, 2013 feels peculiar as compared to the past.

I've definitely grew a whiff wiser.
There are so many times where I feel, & I know that I've reacted differently at situations as compared to how i was before, that even I myself am appalled.

However, we ain't perfect.
There still so much more to do and make become better of ourselves,
& I'm just taking off.

And beyond any doubt that 2014 is gonna be a huge milestone in my life,
I'm turning 24 this year, to the start of my career, my true love, dear- est friends & family.

I'm gonna welcome you with big arms 2014, cheers.

Christmas'13 - Mad Nest

Hey all.

I know it's the new year (HI 2014!) 
& I'm tad late for my Christmas post BUT it's still the 9th?! day of Christmas so I've still got some time!

My Christmas only started at 7pm in the evening when Dan & I made reservations for a dinner at 
Mad Nest - 380 E East Coast Road.

It's quite a nice place with a very cosy concept which serves Japanese, North Indian, Italian-Asian & all day Breakfast food.

Was looking for places to dine for Christmas when i came across Mad Nest, googled a little & their reviews are not that bad, therefore i made reservations.

However, when we got there that day, the staff told us that their Italian-Asian food would not be available today as their chef is away, & that kinda clouded our mood since most of the food we wanted were from that part of the cuisine. damn.
They could've told us earlier!

Vlog; Christmas presents exchange 

hahaha, love the Vlog.
Especially the part where he opened & find the Etude house box.
That face, is just priceless.
Dinner ended early & we didn't want to go home yet,
the food was okay!?, nothing special. Could've gone to a better place for the price we pay. Oh wells.
Dan bought me to Starbucks after! I need my Toffee Nut fix (';
