end of 2011. start of 2012.

great day!!
had a noisy gathering (so last minutely planned but yet so awesome.)
and i finally get my wanting of painting people's nails! lollol

cuz came over at noon for me to help her paint her nails. den i went to paint mine. den squad came and we started painting each others! felt ive grown stupid-er from smelling a day's worth of nail polish. hahaha. but oh wells. i kinda like my creation. whoot whoot!

2011 hasnt been very eventful i would say.
stuff that happened:
getting interested in big bang!! LOL. i rmb GD&TOP performing 2010 year end kinda and was really interested in them but my interest in big bang didnt grow until their new album came out! (mc was so trying to psycho me that the other members were worth looking at too..lol)
hmmmmm...nothing much that i rmb from first sem of school...best results i ever got from 5sems of uni.

birth of my niece! who's incredibly cute. especially when her dad is around. you could see her totally lighting up and smiles all round..LOVE IT when i could sit her on my lap with her leaning into me and playing/staring/whichever. awesome feeling.


working in coach. which was probably the most different thing i experienced. i rmb wanting to quit in the beginning frankly. making mistakes almost everyday and getting scolded. not to mention the unearthly hours + standing in heels + lonely lunches. then it became better. still hated the timing and didnt click that well with my colleagues but it was o.k. interesting things still happened and seeing travellers from all over the world was still really fun. playing with angmoh kids. giving directions. spent the last day of working walking around the airport like a traveller. hehe. and giving directions to this china guy in pretty poor chinese. of which is when i forgot what escalator was in chinese. mega fail. but it was still awesome. i was the bridge between the help desk lady and that guy. =D joking about the 22s  and whats not. (they represent the country code. haha) and the thing i did most at the airport (apart from work la..): SLEEP. hahaha. spending all my breaks after lunch to head to some comfy chair to sleep. damn awesome chairs they have can. i guess abit paiseh to sleep in uniform. heh. and taking changi airport fox sweets. lol. i guess i kinda regretted not completing it all to end of july cos i spent a exploding amount of money for that and the next few months.

the year i got the most big budget items. which i hardly do. coach wallet for my mum; buying my polaroid cam; watching shinee concert; lion king.




the year i got to see my 2 only kpop band i really liked. (how lucky that sounds) Shinee! first concert of a celebrity i actually ever paid for. and GDTOP!! frankly, haha, i wouldnt say i wouldnt go again. lol. and ive come to the realization that it seems no matter how bad the experience, reflection always make it seem nicer than it was. at least it is for me..

and my date with the horses! i dunno why i had such great love for horses. but i just get excited whenever i see them and finally i could touch and stroke them really up close.

i look so scared here i know. i was afraid. heh.

2nd sem was when i wanted to do better but failed. compared to my initial goals. it kinda went downhill i dunno from when and sorta felt i wasnt gonna do well halfway through the sem. though my korean got the best grade i did in my 5sems of korean. (hah. mainly cos the pro korean peeps are in korea.) yes. korean friends leaving for korea. which i was so sad thinking about during sem 1. feels like u spent alot of them with these people and the next sem theres gonna be a void! wasnt as bad as i thought. made new korean class friends. going home with them 3 days a week. talking bout 1-sided loving penpals and infinite and their pelvic thrust move and practicing korean and whats not. having late class wasnt so bad just cos i knew i was gonna go home with them.


my party! got to gather so many of my close friends in one place at one time. =D although it was hard to pay equal attention to each of them. (i think i neglected the squad the most. and my relatives. which were ironically the closest to me i guess..) ann and ailin singing a song for me..gossiping with cheryl and am. (seriously, that girl can gossip at any hour and time)..jc class talking bout hmm..some mutual friend i dont know about. lol. playing 'guess the song title' with korean class friends after everyone else left. coming back home to the bunch of relatives and joshua and caleb and playing mahjong after. 21st is probably the only time u could gather who you want to meet up with (mostly).

meeting up with jc friends for ice's party and before. felt slightly awkward no kid. but it was still great meeting them. how time and life has changed for all of us... yet how we still stayed mainly the same. reflections are cool. its like seeing my life flashing by for the last year. (though the later happenings are clearer in memory..) its roughly the same. a little growth. not much. too much thinking. still mumbling. and still lost in life.

which is why 2012 is such a huge challenge. (2012 is such a nice number btw it shld be awesome-er than 2011) the year im 90% graduating and needing to find a job. writing resumes? going for interviews? its probably one thing i wish i never have to face. and the responsibility tt comes with it. being an adult. im so not ready. not ready to leave my carefree lazy days to be pushed into the working world being one of those zombies working a 9-5. the year i need to really find out my goals. who i really want to be. and who i really am. wish itll come to me easily just like how it came to my friends. whole life's direction mapped out. i just know ill wish to travel the world one day. (well, who doesnt..) i just wish one morning ill wake up and bam! ive got my passion and direction. GO!

back to the day. (abrupt change. hehe.) ate so much food. thanks to my parents and grace for preparing all those stuff. plus more food bought back by the others. and pizza too! watching soccer match (surprise turnover!) and playing monopoly deal. and that last 5stars game. the company was all great. laughters. jokes. silence. lolllol.

quek (to my bro's gf): erm what's your name?
(bro's gf was watching tv so i went: Huiru...)
hahaha. awkward re-questioning. hilarious.

anyway. here's to a new year!!! learn from the old. add to the new. bring on the surprises of the new year!!! hopefully itll be more happening than last year. finding a job i like. getting it. doing more useful stuff. travel!

gan bae 2012!
