welcome 2012!

My first post in 2012! Hope its not too late to write my new year resolution now.

i know its like the first week of January already, but who cares, its better than never right?

Looking back 2011, its complicated.

It wasn't entirely a year that brings happiness, my family, been through a lot of tough moments this year.

Its a year filled with different kind of experience as well.

From the beginning of 2011, i would say it brought my family pain, and heartache. 2011 started with a pain. Having to say goodbye, to live and death.

Moving into the middle of 2011, there were happy and sad things happening.

I celebrated my 21st birthday, with friends and family, and receives surprises for my birthday from my special someone,

and in education wise, i have completed the first section of my academic and was ready to proceed to the second phase, and so, i am off to glasgow.

Leaving home for so long was indeed an experience. It was an opportunity for me to train myself to be independent. It was not easy, trying to adapt a different culture, trying to overcome home sick and trying to cope with the super hectic summer course. I was glad, i got over it. Moreover, first time in my life, i felt how special was it to be a student exempted from exam. Not trying to show off or anything, this achievement boost my confident a little telling me that if i am willing to try, i can get what i want.

Then, there was the breakup. Not to say unexpected, but its more like moving to that point where it leads to this ending. Not gonna talk much about this.

And then, there was my summer trip. Backpack and tour Italy. It was certainly something new. To live in hostel, to share rooms with guys, to walk for hours under the hot sun, enjoyed the scenery of Capri, Florence and etc. boy oh boy, it was certainly awesome.

Moving to the end of 2011, the excitement have not come to an end. It was my first winter, and i was pretty jakun about it. It was fun sliding down the slope of the hill filled with thick snow, it was fun having snow covering all over you. Sadly, we are not having a white xmas due to global warming. But, i get to enjoy meteor! :) i guess it kinda compensate? We can never be to greedy and have everything we want right?

It was definitely a lifetime experience, lying on the grass waiting for meteor during winter, IT WAS ONLY 2 DEGREES! I could never forget this.

And last but not least, spend my xmas and new year back at HOME! Special thanks to my parents, for pampering me with love and care. Although it was a pretty quiet xmas and new year, i certainly have no regret.

Moving into 2012, I only have one thing in my mind. Something i like to achieve.

To work harder on my academic and to be a better person.

:)

With love,
