I can smell it. 2015 is gonna be hella awesome. It's not like other years.. this year, will be different and awesome!!!

I will be hitting a few significant milestones - my graduation and my first jobbbb.

I remember what 2014's resolution was: to be closer to my friends and family. I achieved it. But only halfway. I became really really close to my family but friends, not so much. So THIS YEAR.


I have a few resolutions (3?) if you don't mind me hehe. The last one is the most powderfool one


Resolution Numbah 1: SPEND MORE TIME WITH MA FRIENDS.

I read an article a friend shared on Facebook: http://waitbutwhy.com/2014/12/10-types-odd-friendships-youre-probably-part.html

It talks about how we categorise our friends in different quadrants and levels of closeness.

And the most important part of the article which was highlighted talks about the "Perpetual Catch-Up Trap"


The problem is, when you don’t make enough time for good friends, seeing them only for a meal and not that often—you end up spending each get-together catching up, and you never actually get to just enjoy the friendship or get far past the surface.

You don't get to enjoy being friends when you're too busy catching up. So true!!

So really, if you're my friend and you notice me asking you out every now and then, it means you're something to me and I WANT TO KEEP YOU AND ENJOY OUR FRIENDSHIP!

It's sad how 1 or 2 of some of my good friends... I can no longer connect coz of lack of meet ups and connection. The friendship has almost faded and I wonder whether or not to let it go or fight and hold on. Sad and quite depressing and my heart hasn't found a place to rest.

But before any of this happens to my other friends, I will keep every flame of friendship alive. Not just this year but every year to come. I will I will!!!







Meeting this bunch of crazy shenanigans a few nights ago shall kickstart my mission : )
What would I do w/o them really. I wish for the both of them a great 2015 year as well. To start anew, and afresh for a better life. To be free and happy : )



Resolution Numbah 2: GETTING (FIT)

Hahahaha, really? How am I gonna do that.

My mission: Run 2.4km at least twice a week.

All of you know how much I hate running. But recently I've been doing what I hate the most for at least twice a week, the past month. I've been challenging myself to get my body to do this thing that I hate. Yes, call me crazy, like why'd I wanna do that but I wanna see how much I can push myself and how long I can stick to my routine!!!!

Ya know... this is crazy but my friend Suxin and I are thinking of signing up for NTUC's 21km race, which will happen this April the 5th. I KNOW, IT'S CRAZYYYYY!!!!!!!!

I was the one who asked Suxin if she wanted to race with me. She said, "Oh the 21km one ah? Ok! Let's sign up for it!!!"

And I said, NO YOU GOONDU. I'm talking about the 10 KILOMETRES ONE. T E N . Not 21km you want me to die is it?!?!?!?! I haven't even tried 10 and you want me to JUMP TO 21?!?! IT'S FREAKIN HALF A MARATHON LEH HELLO?

Then I replied again, "But if you really want... I can say yes lah........"

And she was immediately all, YES LET'S DO IT. WE HAVE 4 MONTHS TO TRAIN WE CAN DO IT.

Then I died a little just thinking about it. Yet I feel excited about it, coz there's something to work towards!!! Wow. Something I really cannot imagine doing so soon?! But like, we are??! Unimaginable. Unbelievable.

Anyone wants to do a documentary on me?? Hahaha, going once, going twice.



Speaking of documentary...

It's not a resolution, but a wish.


A wish for 2015 : For my FYP TO BE AWESOME AND A MAJOR SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!!!


I must tell you, my team and I encountered this major hiccup right before I flew to Japan. Can you imagine how restless I was a lot of the time during my trip??

My mind has been filled with worries the past month. But I'm glad we're at least keeping it going. We will get through this, team. We will, we will, we will.

With 2015, we will start anew. And we will get that profile and reboot our documentary and get it started on an even better note now. This time, we will make it. WE WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN.

We had a sit-down to discuss our feelings. Of coz there was the uncertainty and fear and the worries. They were definitely there and still are. But, I'm glad that we still have confidence that we will make it eventually. Zhuoda especially, touched my heart tremendously. Someone I didn't expect to have that amount of jest coz she's usually the quietest in our group... But she was the one who spoke of her confidence in us and how we will still make it through.

Seriously, sometimes my own team mates inspire me.

Whatever that's to come, I sincerely wish that I can wrap my 4 years of university with a bang this 2015.



My third and final Resolution:

Since, this is my graduation year, I'm gonna be starting on my mission and quest soon. Remember my ultimate dream post? Haha you can read it again here.

THIS is when it all begins. I will be 23 this year and I'm excited to be taking flight!!!!

So what my final resolution will be is: To achieve my first significant milestone in my career

Something that I'd be proud to have achieved when I look back upon 2015.

Andddd, I might know what I want to start off with. Remember what I said about wanting to go overseas to expand and broaden my horizons??

I'm thinking of signing up for this!

A global news internship for Associated Press. Anyone in the worldddd can apply for it. It is for students who will be graduating soon and trains students for video journalism.

AP is world renowned and has offices everywhere around the world. They are mainly based in the US.

But here's the catch, only 20 students will be selected.

How bloody tough is that? And from around the world! But I'm still giving it a shot. I believe I've a shot at this leh? I meet most or all of the criterions and all I have to do is sign up and see where it'll take me.

Of course I'm expecting to not get it also coz it's so bloody selective. Way more selective than go-far in school ok. Now I'm competing with THE WORLD goodness.

If I do get it... O M G .

I've decided where I would like to be based at if I were to snag this internship coz we're given three choices. And these are my choices -


1st choice: Jerusalem (Israel)
2nd choice: Rio De Janeiro (Brazil)
3rd choice: Washington D.C. (US)


AHHHH!!!!!!! So exciting right??!?!?!
Yes, I might be able to fulfil my long desired wish to go to Israel 2 years ago when my first choice for exchange had been Israel. New Zealand was actually my second choice if you didn't know!

But yes, again, this is all in the air. I'm waiting for my CNA boss to send me a reference letter and I needa do a 300-word write-up. FIGHT FOR ITTTTT. Fight fight fight!!!

The internship will be in June-August of this year. So yeap, a 3-months internship abroad.

If I don't get it, well, there will definitely be a plan B. Actually I already know what Plan B is, but I'll reveal it, if this internship plan doesn't go through ; )

And who knows, after this internship if I get it, I might just have a job in AP or something. And that's when it SEEERIOUSLY, begins!

Only time will tell~


2015, you'll be the start of everything. More adventures ahead and I, can't, wait.

I wish you a brilliant 2015 as well, reader. A very, very Happy New Year.
