January
Finished Foundation Studies. Here ends my miserable time studying at Canterbury, and couldn't wait to head home. Kuching never looked that good before.
February
I made a last minute decision to study at Uni of Otago, first was doing a BSc in Psychology then changed my mind to do BAppSc in Biotech instead. Dunedin didn't look at bad as what I was told, and Studholme Hall was freaking coooool. Having my close friends living with me sure is a lot of fun when compared to last year.
March
Lectures, lectures. Struggle to keep awake during those early Biology and Chemistry lectures. A very difficult decision to make, and I successfully hurt many people in the process. That includes ending a friendly (?) relationship very abruptly.
April
April Fool- the day I made a complete fool out of myself by giving my heart to someone I had no idea had the power to do so much damage to me. For weeks, I thought I really was in love.
May
After 2 times of breaking up and getting back together again, the forbidden relationship was finally over. In a way I was relieved, but tears were shed and that's why May should be called the month when I cried the most. Through that experience, I've learnt to trust and treasure my friends and family even more.
June
Being single sure is an awesome thing. I got my feet on the ground again slowly, but it isn't easy when the ex is only living 10 metres away from me and having to face him every single day. I desperately needed my family's support, so once again I am home in Kuching. World cup season made me nocturnal.
July
Semester 2 starts, and I made a vow to not let anything distract me from my studies anymore, and hence get my slipping grades up by the end of the year. The painful truth struck me right through my heart, yet somehow I knew that it was like that all along. It was as if before all of this happened, the Man above told me however painful this was going to be, it is an inevitable learning process.
August
Settled in quite nicely in the music team, enjoyed thoroughly the weekly Friday night practices and definitely look forward to Tuesday night home groups at Ramon's. Picked up guitar. =)
September
I turn 19! The last of my teenage years... eeeks! A very big muaks to all those who planned my surprise birthday party, for all those presents and birthday wishes. A birthday is meaningless when you're spending it all alone, agree? Ah, and there was the unforgettable Queenstown trip, where countless smiles and amazing memories were forged.
October
I am officially a frequent visitor of the central library, going there as early as 8am to get good seats. All study and no retail therapy makes me even more desperate to shop like there's no tomorrow. Exam's finally over, a big sigh of relief, and more shopping of course.
November
My very first "friends only, no family" trip to Auckland, the land of shopping aplenty. Spent a huge amount of money! Back to Dunedin, and it's time to look for a job. Dunedin is turning into a ghost town with more and more people leaving for home.
December
Found 2 jobs- a sandwich artist at Subway and as a motel cleaner at 858 George St motel. Yay for job experience and more income! Spent a wonderful Christmas and New Year countdown with friends, and amazed at how far I got this year.
It's a bit late, and I won't say that this is the new year resolution I HAVE to follow exactly, but here it is anyway (in no particular order):
- Improve guitar skills
- Take good care of Waszowski (my KORG sp-500 sent for repair now)
- Get straight As in second year of Biotech
- Not taking anything or anyone for granted
- Meet up and keep in touch with primary schoolmates
- Learn how to cook my favourite dish, Char bee hoon
- Go to gym at least twice a week
- Do either bungy jumping or sky diving
- Update this blog at least 3 times a week
2007. Let this be a fruitful year- physically, emotionally, and spiritually. And let not the past dictate who I am or who I will be, but be a reminder and guideline of how I should be living my present. Forget about those cliche "Living life to the fullest" or "living life as if today is the last", I just want to live a life pleasant to Your eyes.
