2013 ♡♥

This month's been a busy one, so much catching up to do and i had to rush through a lot work during the past 1-2 weeks. I still have some work left on hand and yeah, though 2014 is approaching in approximately 2 hours, I'm gonna have to spend the remaining hours and the first few hours of 2014 finishing up my work. Tomorrow is my baby cousin's 1st birthday, hehehe HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIA XIN!!! She has the same Mandarin name as me XD in the exact same Mandarin characters as well haha! Okay, gonna 'nag' and update on what I've been up to recently. 

Dinner @ Fish 7 Co. 

I went to Downtown East's Fish & Co. outlet a few nights before Christmas with my family for dinner hehe. Haven't had it for superrrrrrrrr long time and that was really refreshing! 

If I didn't catch the waitress wrongly, this is their fish chowder soup!! Really good!!! Did i mention i'm a souperholic? 

My parents shared this combo. If i remembered correctly, it's called the Seafood Combo 2. 

This was my portion, the New York Fish and Chips. The portion was really big i was so full after that.

Salted egg yolk is stuffed inside, and yeah i love it hehe.

TangYuan day!! 元宵节 ♡

I have no idea why photo is upside down but hehe i love glutinous rice balls. 

Caught up with my long lost friends and primary school tutor, that taught me for my entire primary school life. 

 

MERRY CHRISTMASSSSSSSS!!

Belated Merry Christmas guys, I know it's about a week late, but better now than never. 

Had dinner at Ajisen's. This was my share of Scallop Ramen.

It went with this gyoza side dish and a cup of iced lemon tea.

This was for dessert. Hehe green tea pancakes(??) with MY FAVOURITE HOKKAIDO MILK PUDDING. I LOVEEEEE IT.

30 december 2013:

Finally took a photo with this retard. He's finally FINALLY as tall as me hahahahah, we'll take another a year from now to compare the height difference again ;) 

Cut my hair today after like 235498201942543 years, 3.5 inches gone and somehow it still feels the sameeeeee.  

Created a video on Instagram: http://instagram.com/p/ilkyO2zXb7/, that was to thank everyone that has been with me but not enough to sum up everything. 

It's finally the time to blog on resolutions and everything that happened the entire year. I have about 1 hour left. damn. 

So, the starting of this year was really hectic and rocky. This year was definitely not a good one and was one of the worst I've had. Nevertheless, there's always things for me to learn from and when i grow up and look back, i know i will not regret the choices i'm about to make and those that i've made. Along the way, I'll be expressing a lot thoughts and words of advice. I'm warning that it's gonna be a long  longgggggggg post. You don't have to continue reading if you don't want to. Words for Cheryl:  Hey Cheryl, although i read your blog thoroughly, i definitely am writing mine originally and if words are repeated, i can say i didnt copy cause i dont remember what's written but i do remember what i SHOULD be doing hehe. 

Like I said, the start of the year was a rocky one. I'll be telling what happened not in detail but what happened, i don't care whether those who were involved are reading this, because everything's gonna be over in less than an hour. 

Yep, within the first month of school, I lost one of the most precious friendships i ever had, I'm not afraid to say this, but it was really one of the best, besides the one with some others (you guys know who you are and i'm not stating them so that i won't hurt anyone in the process). Back to what i started with, yeah, i treasured the friendship a lot and i never ever EVER thought i would lose it, and it all came down to be because of me, because of jealousy. 

Many of us tend to be jealous of our own best friends when we see others hanging around them and we don't want to lose our friends. But honestly, if your friendships are really really strong, nothing can break it, not even when a huge rock falls off the cliff and tries to break the walls of your friendship. Of course, there would be abrasions and some cracks, but it will definitely remain strong. 

That friend that i lost, she is one of the bestest friends one can ever ask for. She was always by my side, always there for me, she bombed so much money on my birthday, she did many many things for me and even 'risked' getting 'scolded' by me when i slept in class to wake me up. I loved her, obviously as a friend. I can't say i regret losing her because she's not who she is anymore. I turned her into someone who lost her innocence someone who broke into so many pieces she built such a strong wall around herself to protect herself. Although saying sorry is not enough, there is nothing more i can do. That 'anniversary' since our friendship died is coming in 2 weeks and all i can hope for is that she and her friends are able to have long-lasting friendships and that their studies will run smoothly next year and do well for O's. 

After that major incident, might not be major to others, but i definitely had a hard time getting over everything. The entire year had been a trauma, seeing her in school, outside, coincidences everywhere, i do get nervous and scared. At times i don't even know what i was thinking. Less than 3 months later, crucial things were coming in and i faced cases of other stuff betrayal and things got worse i didn't know how to handle them. I gotta thank the person who have always been by my side, supporting me and no you DID NOT fail to protect me, you did your best. Like i told you earlier on, i wouldn't have been able to survive well and cope with everything. Thank you for your ears, your heart, your love. 

Okay, i really wanna get over those shit now, i'm getting emotional here so yup. And it was not long ago before i found out that i actually trusted a person i should NEVER have. She tarnished many people's names including mine and she hurt me so many times, telling me things like what people did/said to me or whatever but ya. She used many innocent people's names and they had no idea what even happen. 

Okay, whatever it is, I'm gonna have to let the past go, for it will only haunt me and not do me any good at all. 

Firstly, never fall into the traps of jealousy, for jealousy kills, just like how curiosity kills the cat. Never ever, i repeat, never ever get jealous over small matters. They turn you into who you would never think you would be and can hurt the people around you. Watch your emotions and learn to control your actions and words. Patience is a virtue. 

Secondly, don't trust others easily and although people always say they "believe what they see", sometimes what you see isn't enough. Take your time, take a step at a time, listen to all points of views and come to a conclusion. Sometimes, it's also, as cliche as it is, "better to have a best friend who shares everything, tears and joy, with you than to have many friends who you can't lean on at all." 

Thirdly, what people always say, "forgive and forget". Yeah I'd like to emphasize that line too, but in a different approach. Although forgiving may be hard, but it's always best to do so. I have managed to forgive everything that has happened since the year is ending REALLY SOON and after forgiving someone, trust me, you'll feel so much better and the rock that has been holding onto you will be lifted. NOW, is the forgetting part. Forgiving is definitely better than forgetting. I know forgetting is REALLY REALLY tough, I'm not boasting, but i can remember things that happened when i was as young as 4, maybe because many things leave so much impacts on me, or just because i have good memory. Anyway, when people say forget, they mean for you to put the past behind you and move on with life, because life is short. Yes, "life is too short for everything, cherish every single thing you have." When i was younger, an adult once told me "forgive and forget, everything will be over soon" and i told myself, i will never do that. Now that I've come to my senses and realise what this means in the adult world, yeah, forgive everything and put everything behind you. 

Let me share a few quotes: 

"Everything happens for a reason."

"Never regret anything you do, if you will don't" 

"The future is like a letter, waiting to be opened."

"Do you want to know why i use a knife? Guns are too quick. You can't savour all the... little emotions. In... you see, in their last moments, people show you who they really are." -The Joker (Heath Ledger) from the Dark Knight. Think about this quote and decide what you wanna do from now on. 

THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO'S BEEN BY MY SIDE. LOVE YOU ALL. HAPPY NEW YEAR AND HAVE A REALLY REALLY GREAT YEAR AHEAD. I YEARN TO SHARE GREAT MOMENTS WITH GREAT PEOPLE HEHE. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE HAVING THEIR MAJOR EXAMS (INCLUDING MYSELF HAHAH) AND EXAMS. DO EXTREMELY WELL AND DO YOURSELVES AND EVERYONE PROUD. LOVE YOURSELF (gonna blog on that soon) AND CHERISH EVERYTHING!!! 

 By the way, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRENNA ONG. (I'm not late hehe)
