HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010! :D

wow! time passes real quickly and it's already 2010. and i'm going to be 17. that sounds so old :3 anw, i think 2009 has been a really great year, and i've grown alot as a person, i think. (: i'm quite satisfied with my 2009 actually and hopefully 2010 would be even better, though i'm not really looking forward to JC life ahh :/ let's recap some highlights of 09!

1. CCA!
cca this year is very much less hands-on and more of standing at the sidelines guiding juniors/ planning programmes etc. but it was great being a PL of hibiscus patrol! <3 things turned out better than i imagined and i'm proud of my patrol! :D especially the sec 1s, they totally surprised me as they were more chatty than i thought. :D yay! oh and another experience worth reminiscing abt is PGA! the experience really taught me alot of guiding skills and life skills too. it challenged my limits and encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone. yup, and i definitely do not regret going for it :D

2. 404! <3
Got to know the class better and made more friends this year as compared to last year! Had alot of fun as well with classmates! oh and the 16th dec kbox date with yeeting, selina, meihui, simin, shijie, xinyun was fun!! i wanna go again! :D and looking forward to elekert too! :D

Studies wise, i became more hardworking as well and i am quite happy with my results this year! :D yay :D

3. SMP!!
this year's smp was amazing, though we didn't really attain the results we wanted. but i'm already quite satisfied with what we have achieved (: from not getting a project allocated to us, to finally miraculously finding a mentor, to the completion of project, it was really amazing and AWESOME! working with wang qian was also super fun and funny! she's a really great partner! and i'll miss nanyang poly and the FOOD there! and the uncle there who sells fruit juice, and i'll always order banana milk from him, so often so that he remembers me now :D hahaha! and working with our mentors, Dr Richards and Dr Ng, it was a really great experience and they're so nice! oh not forgetting gwen, who always helps us, too! :D

4. Presenting to HJT!
Wow this should be one of the most hounourable moments of my life so far :D seeing and presenting to the president of PRC. not everybody gets that chance heh? :D preparing for the presentation with the 5 others + teachers was also super fun! yang lao shi is so nice! :D haha :D

5. GCP to new york and boston!
HAHHAA this trip was super fun and an eye opener. never thought that i would get the chance to travel to the US with my friends! Got to meet alot of new friends and know some of my friends better too (: yay! (refer to the previous post for more details)

6. Family trip since eons!
We haven't been travelling since 2 to 3 yrs ago after my father went for his operation! and i haven't been to segamat to visit my grandparents for 2 years! this time we went back to my grandparents' house for 2 days then another 3 days at A'famosa with apeh and family (: it's like a resort, with loads of stuff to do and try. very fun!! playing cards and board games in the villa with cousins and all was also fun! :D

i think that's about all!

ohh nono, how can i forget this part! My first ever working experience where I earned my own money! though it wasn't alot per se, it was a great expereince. I worked as a waitress btw, with shijie. it was a one night thing for some church's christmas function, and guess what! i met germaine there! :D haha anw, it was great fun too and i saw lots of stuff that happens behind the scenes, tsk! :D

ok that's all for now. 2 more weeks to school reopen :/ i don't want!! ohya still have to study for math quiz...

anw, hope that 2010 will be a great year ahead! i shall attempt to list out some resolutions although i'm not really a fan of new year resolutions :D

1. Be focused in everything i do, esp studies wise (:
2. Be more healthy! in terms of both eating habits and exercising habits.
3. Not spend unnecessary time on computer and tv (hmm this is gonna be quite hard!)
4. Better time management skills
5. Not sleep after 12 midnight!! :@
6. lastly, to be a better person in general.

edit:/ I realized that i actually set new year resolutions last year! let's see...

1. Be more self disciplined.
(hmm, in a sense, accomplished!)

2. Plan time properly.
(hmm i guess this one is not too bad, but can still be improved)

3. Learn how to work SMART.
(ehh... i'm not sure abt this.)

4. Find more time to do other stuff that I like.
(I guess this was ok, i managed to do quite alot last year!)

5. Watch less teevee (anw, xiao niang re is sad...)
(HAHAHA this is such a failure, i'm still addicted to tv :D)

6. Spend less time on computer. it's the ultimate time waster if you're not doing work.
(this is also a failure :O)

7. Spend less money.
(hmm i think this was ok :D)

8. Be more sociable.
(not too sure abt this, but i guess it was ok too? :D)

9. Be happier.
(yep yep!)

10.Be more decisive and stop worrying excessively.
(HAHA this is also another failure. let's just say that i am such a natural worry wart.)

11.Improve my humans and languages.
(ahh yes i did :D)

12.Be more alert about everything.
(hmm... why did i even set such a resolution?)
