2011- The turning point.

In the blink of an eye, another year has passed.

Hop in to my car, and I shall take you on a journey of what 2011 has meant to me.

*BACK TO THE PAST*

HAHAHAHH -.-

OK 2011, how should i start?

With the end of a-levels, it meant a whole new beginning. Time to choose a course and get stuck with it for another 40 years OHMAIGAWT*hangsmyself* 
Well, not that bad lah.

Even though in the eyes of many, it may have seemed like I wasted the first 9 months of the year *but diedie also cannot admit they are right* I felt like I have grew quite a bit this year obviously bcoz getting older. My experience with the university applications actually helped me a lot, in realising what I wanted in life, and how to handle my future.

As some of you may know, I was called for the medicine interview at NUS early this year, even though my application had the words FIRST CHOICE: PHARMACY on the top. y u no want to give me pharmacy? T.T  But it was all thanks to my itchy fingers also la, thought I could include medicine in my application. Maybe because some part of me at the end of 2010 actually believed that I could do medicine. Thank you Jingyi for also tempting me with free toilet washes.

And then because I was so kiasi, I had to research out every aspect of the career - the advantage, disadvantage, job scope, what the ppl in the industry think about their jobs etc. Forgot to mention how I also applied for USM and maxed out the second choice third choice fourth choice columns. *extra kiasu points*

The thing is, with each and every small step I took along the way, I got a better idea of what I wanted. And through the experiences, I learned quite a number of things. When to stand up, when to let go and even when to say "i don't know".

To look back and think about the days and times like how I applied for chemical engineering just for the jpa/petronas scholarship, i smack my own forehead. And somehow right now, even if it means I have to eat half rice with kuah for the next 4 years, I am smiling that I didn't get it then.

Each and every step, with mistakes included, lead me to my path today. But i'm proud and extremely happy with it. Wouldn't change it for anything else.

Show you what i have this year...

I visited Pangkor, went to Sungai Petani / Penang , and then Singapore !

Went to HK, but never blogged about it coz was too lazy!



HK Disneyland




The Disneyland Parade



I somehow love this shot.



Ocean Park, Hong Kong.



My old old old friends i met in HK. Don't I just blend in? :D



Went to PD, but never blogged about it as well.


 and then, my enrollment into Segi's Sunderland Mpharm twinning programme.

A bunch of really amazing people.

The lunches, the outings, the cycling event, the christmas party, the studying, the reports.

All the things that we did together in just 3 months.

and a lot more to come!

All I can say is that, i'm really grateful that I went on this path. Thank you to all of you who have helped, supported, and believed in me throughout the year. Really grateful for all the friends around me. Thank you for being in my 2011!  :)
 

Annd with that, i'd like to say hello twentytwelve. I am in the middle of building a spaceship in case doomsday is near. May this be the beginning of many amazing things! Happy New Year!
