my year end roundup time (:

this has been one interesting year. eventful to say the least. it passed so fast. especially without school to put a timeline on it all for most of the year. starting from the beginning, end of As. working for my dad (good money, but torturous). a-level results, which i'm still so so grateful and thankful for. rj dance night. alumni item. and then there was sentio (:

i'm really happy i got to use dance which means the world to me, to help others. we raised thirty-something thousand in the end. but the path to that was not easy, good or very happy. i was and still am incredibly happy i did it. and the chance to perform again with my beloved dancers. but this concert wrecked alot of my friendships. which makes my heart ache to this day. maybe it brought the ugly side out of everyone, the stress and it all. i never expected all that..

i traveled alot this year. i love traveling. i'm an escapist at heart. always have been. always will be. i love other cultures and languages too (: if i could spend the rest of my life wandering around the world, like my 2nd aunt. i'd be a very very happy person. hongkong (with stef, cass & rachel), japan (osaka & kyoto with mummy. i've fallen head over heels in love with japan), new zealand (mummy, 2 kookoo, 4 kookoo & daniel), and then paris (hongmin, angela & nicole). they were 4 wonderful trips. very very different. in hongkong it was all about the food shopping & company. japan was culture, shopping, food and mother-daughter bonding time. new zealand was aunts & niece bonding time, nature and alot of thinking. paris was just a mad rush to see everything and do everything :D disneylandddd. hahaha.

and the biggest of them all (: lse. london. i've been loving london. the first few weeks were incredibly hard. lonely and sad. and it was definitely very unexpected, or rather different from what i expected. but after awhile, everything just fell in place. and i really call my little pigeon-hole home now. singapore will always be the best, but london is a whole new wonderful experience. i'm so so grateful to the singaporeans in lse. they're a fantastic bunch. e holborn boys, e singsoc exco and all the rest (: thursdays afternoons (that 2 hours) brings such warmth to my heart (((: and then there's angela who's been an absolute darling, my baby (grins, i'm her mummy). haha. i wouldn't be able to function without her i tell you. shimoni, my floormate, my comrade in battle. smirks. kaylene, alex and jess who make me want to go to class. haha. charlotte & ayla (((: my adorable french-rambling girls. plus all the insane crazy girls in holborn. haha.

i don't know if i changed, the way i view things changed, or you changed. suddenly things seem so clear. and i was able to stop myself before doing anything stupid. which is always good (: i'm glad i got all that worked out before the new year. so i get to start the new year on a fresh clean page. no more attachments to the past anymore. i'm definitely walking on now.

friends. old friends. screw still makes me so happy in incomparable ways. nothing can really fully convey how happy i am that there is still hope. and i don't think anyone can ever understand how happy a jpeg letter and a small card can make me. all i want to say here is thank you. the past 2 weeks. spending time with members of screw has been absolute love. we find laughter and happiness in the smallest insignificant things or most unlikely things. like getting lost at night in the west, which actually kept me smiling the whole night. haha.

mel. who i miss so so dearly. who's so far away in michigan. there's just a gaping hole which only you can fill. i really wish i could be next to you. especially during the times when you're sad. i wish i could always protect my dear sister. you're the sister i always (as an only child) wished i had. i love you darling.

its funny how its the boys, especially anwar and yipeng who email me or msn me the most. haha. being overseas, seeing the behaviour of some, makes me appreciate and love my 3 best guy friends (including justin) the most (((: and also funny how being in london, ends up making me closer to my friends in e us. haha. like jerrine, dione & wanlin. grins.
