Before 2012 ends

Amazing. It has been over 5 months since my last post. This semester proved to be one of my toughest yet, and it's ONLY my second last semester. Which means next year (my last semester), I am going to die. Teehee oh how fun.

My summer hols have already started almost a month ago and I've procrastinated this much needed update for as long as I could. Now that it's the last day of 2012, I finally moved my lazy ass to start on this post. 2012 has been a bittersweet year for me. More bitter than sweet, actually. A 9:1 ratio. Okay fine, I'll admit it was a pretty bad year for me lol. Doing my best to highlight my ups more than my downs so I won't feel so miserable about it.

Anyways, here are some stuff worth mentioning since my last update, just a quick recap on the latter half of the year. (pictureful!)

15.7.2012

Went for a day trip to the beach with the gang. A lot of walking involved and we had to take a shuttle because it was the 3rd day of rainfest, if I'm not mistaken.

There's nothing like a day of sand, sea and loved ones running and swimming like mad :)

Swam, built sandcastles, wrote our names in the sand, played volleyball, and stuffed outselves with junkfood till sunset and then we took loads of awesome sunset pics!

The dudes.

And then there's me doing a headstand!! :D And I thought I couldn't do it anymore, phew!

Here's one of all of us, minus Niraaj, who was taking the photo (Thank you!)

More pics of this trip on my fb, I don't have enough time to upload it all here before midnight wtf lol

20.7.2012

I turned 21! :D

(Got my key to adulthood, boo yah!)

Thanks to Abigail, Ah Sem and Leen who brought me out to dinner at Sharing Planet ♥

Even had special treatment! Sem helped cut my chicken into bite sizes for me! Until I found out he did that because they know I eat very slow -____- lol

And thanks to Amanda and Jess who brought me out to lunch at Koreana and surprised me with the rest showing up ♥ ♥

This is the third year this happened and I really must thank Jess for it :) Loveeee!!!

And then there was dinner with the fam on another night + meowy at Ten Ichi. Here are some food porn to make you salivate for a while ;)

The last one is my favourite on the menu there, the Rainbow maki! And then at cake time baby blew out my candles before I did which explains the following picture...

Sob.

After dinner we went for karaoke (my first time, mind you) at k11 at the hills. Embarrassing memories made that night, which I will not share here. Only those present that night know what really happened lol.

To pacify your curiosity, here's an unlady-like pic of me and my brother rapping along to Limp Bizkit's "Rollin'". Best song EVAR. Man the 90's had the best music. 

3.9.2012

Everyone was posting on Facebook how orange/red the moon looked that night, so I went outside to see for myself and snapped a pic of it.

10.9.2012

I had the experience of tagging along to my brother and Michelle's pre-wedding photoshoot. Best location ever: MY grandparents' house. Quite an eye-opener for me to see how these things worked. The photographer was kind enough to let me bring my camera and take some pictures on my own for the sake of practice :D

The beautiful bride-to-be ♥

30.9.2012

During the mid-autumn solstice festival I released a floating lantern for the first time in my life *sakai*

With the rest of my relatives. It was so fun to write our wishes on the lanterns and light them up and let them float off!


9.10.2012

I attended my uni's convocation to see my seniors graduate and congratulate them.

Here are a few almost-candid shots I took that day of the graduates. Congratulations, guys!!!! :D

10.10.2012

I attended my cousin's wedding where I had a rather unusual experience....

Me and a couple other cousins made quite an entrance that night to welcome the newlyweds. Sunglasses to conceal our identities so it would be less embarrassing lol.

13.10.2012

Jos's 21st birthday! Quite the hello kitty celebration. Hello kitty and pink eeeeeeeeverywhere.
Happy Birthday, Jos Jos!

26.10.2012

And then there's my 宝贝's birthday. Happy Birthday, Bunny!!! ♥

We went to watch Frankenweenie that day and believe it or not we cried like mad near the end of the movie ahaha


27.10.2012

My brother and Michelle got baptized at St Joseph Cathedral! Congrats :D And welcomeee! ♥

30.10.2012

Halloween! I didn't go out and celebrate though. So I just stayed home and played with make up, resulting in the above picture *sheepish*

3.11.2012

I went to my 姐姐's convocation ceremony at Inti. Congratulations, sis!! ♥

A lot of congratulations in this post aye lol. 2012 was something for me to remember, but not something I'd want to celebrate in the future. I'm really thankful for those who were there for me and helped me get through it. But that's all I can post for now. Will update on December soon. Now I gotta go get ready to welcome the new year!

Happy 2013 in advance, everyone!! xoxo ♥ ♥
