Happy 2014.

A new year hopefully marks the start to something fresh and I sincerely hope to move on from all the unhappiness and unfortunate events that happened to me in 2013. Looking back, it really took me a lot of courage to go through all those downs and I'm proud of myself for being able to be that strong. This year, my aim is to atone for the mistakes that I made in the previous year by making wiser decisions.

Things with my boy have been going relatively well and strong, nothing to complain about but be thankful. Just celebrated his birthday 3 days ago and our first year anniversary is coming up soon. How time flies. I have been in contact with my closest friends and these people are all I need in life actually. Really glad that we've made it this far in life together. Went to korea with michelle to look for xiwen earlier this January for a week, and it was a fruitful trip. Really felt rejuvenated and happy not just for the winter but for the friendship throughout the trip. I've been putting in extra effort to spend time with my family especially now that I'm relieved of hall responsibilities. Weekends should be reserved for them and being at home doesn't mean hiding in the room using the com. Looking forward to our trip to Norway this July!

I'm in the second semester for my third year now which means that I only have 1.5 more years to go before I graduate and have to find a job and earn money and be independent and get married bla bla bla. Right now I have to start planning for my FYP but inspiration and ideas don't come when you need it, so I wait for it. My FYP partner is going on exchange which makes things even harder. School has just been a mundane and repetitive cycle that I endure through week after week despite it being a 3-day week. I go to hall on Monday, only looking forward for it to end on Thursday. The familiar faces in hall have mostly left and I'm starting to feel foreign in this place that I've stayed for 3 years. Last semester, ADM was forced to be subjected to the bell curve/moderation system which is seriously dumb and doesn't make any sense. How do you grade a class of art students working on entirely different and unique projects based on moderation? If every student produces extremely creative projects that deserves an A, who's going to be the poor dude that's gonna get a B? Retarded.

Volleyball and softball have both ended their seasons this IHG and I feel hopeless for vball and disappointed for softball. We trained hard for softball and had high expectations that only went unfulfilled. The team next year onwards will never be the same again. I feel really sad that volleyball matches and trainings in hall suck so much, yet it was supposedly my favorite sport. Don't kill my passion with your lack of passion. I know this sounds elitist or whatever, but I need some people with standard to play with please.

So.. this sums up my rant since my last post and until my next, 2014 please be good to me.
