Start of something new

Yes, i am approximately 6 days late to blogging a new year post, but Wow. The year has past so fast, and now it's a new year. I should learn from the Malays by first apologizing to everyone i've offended and hurt. The past year has been eventful, full of new beginnings and endings, once in lifetime chances and adventures. Right this moment a year ago, i was stuck in Tasik Chini, crying peoples' ears off, deprived of vehicles and shopping malls, and eating burgers like there was no tomorrow. Living in a jungle, swimming in a brown lake being fully covered with clothes and sport shoes, and winning a marching competition with my fellow team mates. Using an actual M16 gun was probably one of the best moments, followed by a 12-days trip to China, with my sister being the only person i knew then. Applying for a scholarship to UK, and meeting some of the greatest and sweetest people from the tip to toe of the country... The first time feeling most at home with a bunch of nicest, and crazy yet fun people i barely knew, besides their lame jokes. Being scrapped on my back with a soup spoon in a foreign country and co-choreographing a dance i never knew i could, plus turning 18 and legal to drink and enter 18Sg movies. Being part of another life fellowship, and meeting the boyfriend's family... They were pretty nice people. Getting enrolled in college, singing on stage, failing and finally passed my driving, and having my first pork burger from McDonald's China! Choices to make and embarrassing moments. It was a challenging and growing year, with a lot of hard learning. By God's grace I survived.

The new year wasn't great to start with. With stress, doubts, frustrating moments and insecurities. The best thing for the transition from 2009 to 2010 would be thanking God before the countdown, remembering of His grace and goodness, and reminding self for Him to be my vision for the new year. Plus a hike to Broga hill shows it'll continue to be an eventful year (i certainly hope so!). Yup, 18 going on 19 this year. Still young but hopeful for the future. The years definitely passes fast. It was sweet 16, and now slowly going into adulthood. If i could make it up the peak of Broga (and get down) since i'm terrified of heights, i believe that i'll be able to make it through the coming years, by God's grace. Yup, indeed still long way to go. No resolutions for the new year, but i really hope to be able to take one day at a time, and enjoy each moment. That i will not one day look back, and realize i've wasted my life. And hopefully, the best things will come when it's unexpected :)

Exams start in 4 days, and i'm too lazy to calculate the minutes and seconds so we shall skip that part. So ermmm... How to enjoy exams and the stressful studying? Alamak *smacks forehead*

*hums Raindrops keep falling on my head, pitter patter pitter patter*
