my new year's resolutions 2012
2011 has been a fruitful and adventurous year for me. i've made lots of international friends during exchange in lund university, sweden. and at the same time, got to know more ntu and nus people this year.
in conclusion, i really enjoyed 2011, and i hope 2012 will be even better for me!
here's my new year's resolutions:
1. maintain CGPA at 4.1 (or at least second upper class)
2. learn driving
3. make more friends in ntu
4. catch up with old friends
5. be more independent (since i've been through student exchange, i guess i AM more or less independent now)
6. maintain good relationships with family
7. find mr. right
that should be all for now. hope i can achieve these resolutions by the end of 2012. :D
and to all my friends: HAPPY NEW YEAR! CHEERS!

end of my europe tour
i've just came back to malmo yesterday morning. it has been a great experience to travel with vanessa, and her 3 friends (Hui Dong, Matthew and Xian Ming). i was kinda worried that i wun be able to clique well with guys i dunno, but it turned out that the 3 of them are really good! especially HD and Matt, they are so hilarious!
i wish i can travel with people like them too! and van is sooooo sweetttt! she woke up early on christmas day and wrote us each a christmas card! i'm so glad that i've made a right decision to travel with them. sadly, i left halfway (cos i've to clean up my apt in malmo), i really do wish to join them in prague as well. haix.. wells, i can always catch up with them back in ntu. :D
anw, i met up with my friends (from lund) on christmas eve and christmas day itself. we had dinner tgt, and they even bumped into van, etc in prague last night. rahh i wish i could be there too. :(
there're only 6 days left for me to return to singapore. i dunno how to describe my feelings now, it's rather complicated. i definitely lookin forward to meet my friends in sg, yet i super 舍不得 my new friends in sweden. i feel so relaxed and blessed whenever they are around.
hope all of us will keep in touch and visit each other one day...

天下无不散之宴席
had farewell cum christmas party last night at calvin's place.
the party was great, the food were delicious, the people are awesome. i wish i can stay longer in sweden, with my awesome friends.
kathy, nat, bonnie and karen are so sweet. they wrote us each a personal letter, and i'm sure i'll miss them loads when i'm back in SG. gosh, actually i'm alr started to miss them now. :(
jessika and adrian gonna write me a personal letter too, i feel so blessed to have them in my life. i've learnt alot from their culture, as well as how to mingle around europeans. haha. i really do love them!
e party ended at 2am last night, and we (jessika, kevin and bernard) only reached home at 4am. and i have to catch a plane later at 3.20pm. which marks e beginning of another traveling session in europe. and i cant wait to see vanessa later too!
anyways, i'll definitely come back to sweden again in the future, and visit my new friends around the world. having international friends is a great experience!
oh i've volunteered myself for e incoming exchange student attachment thingy, altho i'm not sure if there's such a program existing in NTU. but dawn said she'd forward my email to e international desk! i do hope to become a mentor (to those international students), hopefully swedes, or dutch, or hk, or german or japanese. hahaha. i love them alot. :D
oops gonna get ready to leave house now.
vises!

my reflections
i've just read one of my old friend's blog, and his entries sort of made me feel like i've wasted more than 4 years on someone who's already gone. and not going to come back.
time to move on. it's silly to stuck at one point in life and not trying to explore other wonderful things around me right now, and in the future.
i guess my personality changed cos of the one who's alr gone, and i hate myself for being such a coward. i've lost lotsa opportunities in the past few years, and i'm not gonna to repeat the history again.
exchange life has brought my old self back, although not 100%, but at least i can feel part of the old me is alive now. i'm not e gal who doesn't like to mingle with new people, new friends. i am supposed to be the girl who socialize a lot and loves making new friends. i enjoy being the center of attention, and i enjoy entertaining friends around me and cracking lame jokes which no one understands for the first few seconds.
i'm not sure if my old self will return anytime soon, but one thing for sure, i'm not gonna linger at the same spot, over the same person, and haunted by old memories.
i can do it!
