20 mins to the end of the first day of 2010. a lot of things to blog, but don't really know where to start. from the beginning then, whatever i can remember.
first four months of 2009 made up my last semester in NTU. submitted fyp, crazy design project, tried to pia for second upper and failed. but was still madly glad to leave behind the 2 hours traveling journey and the studying.
spent a few months worrying about being unemployed. temp-ed at mum's to earn some spending money, but also really realised that her job is something super challenging that i respect her dedication.
travelled to Hong Kong with the crazy bunch of girls. i think we became closer after the trip, what with sharing rooms and having to accommodate everyone's weirdness. looking forward to the trip we are planning in June/ July!
spent a few days with my parents in HK too, though i felt i didn't put in adequate effort to make them happier. they seemed so vulnerable in HK where i was more familiar with. i feel i should be taking more care of them, when they've given me so much. hopefully i can plan a beautiful taiwan trip for all of us to share some wonderful memories.
cause of the trip, i quarreled with freddie. at that time, i was anguished and torn between my obligations to my friends, family, and him. now, i am glad i went and did my best to my family and friends. at least i have a different experience and memory of Hong Kong, and i managed to be closer to them.
kept on tenterhooks while sending resumes and waiting/ attending interviews. finally accepted my current job, though pay is below expectations. the step into the working world really is an eye-opener. nothing is as what they say it is, nothing is as what it seems. learning everyday to swim or at least float a little longer. haha
perhaps the last 2 months of 2009 overshadowed everything else. the repeated arguments, crying and empty promises finally culminated in a major heartbreak. ended a 4-year relationship with a guy i thought could be the person i hand my happiness to. till now, my heart is still in pieces, my tears still keep falling. shouldnt the pain fade to a lesser degree in one month? maybe more time is needed to glue the pieces back.
hope as evan says, all the bad things get left behind in 2009. new year, new start. 2010 i shall aim to be a better person who focuses more on immaterial intangible things. more time and concern for parents, brother. more craziness with the girls and 2b. more catching up with drama and gen. rest and exercise more, take better care of myself. and lastly, i won't be buying any more birthday presents, i think it has lost its meaning. (can save money too! =p but of course that's not the reason.)
happy new year people! take care and may everyone have joy, peace, love! =)
steamboat one sunday, a sweet that has a smiley face, a bag that my mum received as a present but doesn't want to use.
the food 3 of us had at orchard central one weekday night. oh, congrats sharon, on your job!
spring cleaning, keeping away all the memories. 
some new year goodies bought at a factory in woodlands loop.
