2013

Cliche as it may seem, as the year comes to an end, like everyone else (pretty much, right?), I have found myself reminiscing about everything that has happened so far. Looking back at all my previous blog posts, I guess I've changed in a way or two - for better and for worse. (The blog posts from August onward are all present on my Tumblr, at the sidebar to the left, though.)

So many things have happened this year and honestly speaking, despite telling myself "cb this is my worst year ever," every other year since 2010/2011, this year has definitely brought "worst year ever" to a whole new level. However, although I am terribly scarred (damn drama mama, I know) by everything bad that has happened to me this year, I am greatly thankful for:

i. the new friends I've made

Ian

Sheryl

ii. the friends who have stayed throughout

team Ngee Ann volleyball girls

4R6'10

iii. how much closer I've gotten with my cousins

iv. how I've managed to scrape through school this year

v. how much more wary I've become (for my own good)

vi. having learnt the importance of knowing how to stand up for myself

vii. the friends who have left

P.S.: swear that I also appreciate the rest of 4R6'10, Stella, Vivian Tan, Shermin, a handful of my classmates (12A1), my colleagues and bosses, Peter, Jiaks, Zhi Sen, Ian K, and Jae's friends who have been nice to me IMO (although I've just gotten to know them only recently). I just can't find/don't have any decent (or rather, more recent) pix :( (Also, to anyone that has played a part in my life - be it good or bad, thank you.)

To end off, 2013 has really been one hell of a year (though I would like to think that 'hell' would be an understatement) and I am definitely not looking forward to facing 2014 ('A' LEVELS, HELLO?!?) but life happens. So, that's that. Also, I have decided to revive this space….. (awkward pause) Yup.

May 2014 be a better year.
