2016

2 days into the new year and things aren't exactly going as well as I'd planned YET (positivity yes), but I know things can only get better from here. 2015 had been one hell of a year, I really liked it a lot albeit the many ups and downs. It was an extreme roller coaster ride for me but I have to say, the view was always splendid on the top of the world. Who wouldn't agree that it's these ups and downs per se that are the most memorable - that with each year that passes by, when we look back on the year that has passed by, these memories tug at our heartstrings?

2015, you've been a wonderful year. From finishing As after 3 rather fruitful years spent in jc to working as a student care teacher for the bulk of my 8 months long holiday before university started. Sports camp, hall camp, arts orientation week. Then came the moving into hall with JY's help, settling in into hall life, attending my first lecture and tutorial in NUS, going for sports trials, signing up for Biz Comm and many many more........ I'd say it'd been a really fulfilling year though I hadn't actually achieved anything worth mentioning.

But come 2016, with my list of new year resolutions (that I haven't even started on omg lol procrastination at its best it's already the 3rd day of the new year) I'll do better. "New year new me" is so cliched come to think of it but it's actually pretty appropriate in my situation. I can't wait to see all that's in store for me unfold. It will be a great year, I believe, with many little new beginnings this year, not just for me, but for the people around me as well. For one, JY is finally going to finish his national service in ~9months' time, and it's very likely that he will be starting school this August too. I'm so psyched for all our little beginnings and I'm completely in love with the idea of watching him completing a phase in his life that has been thus far, a tiring yet fulfilling one in many little ways, and watching him enter yet another phase in his life. Baby steps, we're all getting there, and growing and maturing a little more each day.

Starting the new semester in exactly one week's time and I really don't feel ready at all. Moving back to hall again after being back at home for a month makes me a little sad because I really love coming back to the coziness and warmth of this place I call home. And with IHG just round the corner, this entire week I'll be back in school nearly every single day for touch and netball trainings. I can't wait to have IHG over and done with so I can concentrate fully on what I've set out to do this upcoming semester. It's going to be a good semester and I'll end year 1 well. I can't wait to see what I am capable of doing.
