Memories of 2010
2010 definitely was a year I'll remember if I ever think back on my life.
[in chronological order]
This year started with a bang, got my O levels results in January, started DPA in NYP.
I remember that deep inside, i really dreaded leaving Secondary 4, it means no more Pande to protect me, no more Pande to look after me, no more familiar faces, no more being immature.
Not one of the most memorable birthdays to remember, but definitely one full of love. I came back late from DPA camp that night, was sunburnt, had sorethroat feeling heaty. Wasn't expecting anything out of the ordinary for my 17th, then Yel Kai Shan and Fly came with a surprise home-baked banana rainbow brownie cake. This is why i love them. They can make me feel better just by thinking of them. weird i know. but true.
Made lots of amazing friends during DPA, most of whom i've not seen much since official poly life started :( missed them much! Lorenzo, Jaslyn, Jerron, Kah Jing, Syakina, Zulaiha, Asyikin, Duy, Glenn, Guanxue, Jimmy (junming), Kevin, Ying Jie, Yiok An, Jin Tong, Lai Mun, Ying Hao, Chuan Keng, Zoei, Sandy, Aladdin.

Then MGBD started in April, amazing people again. But this course completely took away my life. No, its not really THAT bad for me, since I really enjoy what i'm doing. I hope it'll only be these 3 years of hell, then i'll break free and with the knowledge i've gained from this, do what i love and achieve something in life before the world ends. Or not, if it ends in 2012 before i graduate. hmms.
Starting over in MGBD made me miss 37084709. I missed how i could just sit anywhere in class and anyone around me would be able to talk and have fun and laugh. It just ain't really much the same now i guess. I miss you guys! love you guys!
2010 was kind of a Lights year for me? Just as 2009 was an Evan Taubenfeld year, and 2008 an Avril Lavigne year.
April was also the FIRST time I ever got Lights to notice me :D I made an animation for Saviour and posted it on YouTube hoping that she could see it as a birthday present from me. And because of this, I stepped into another family - The Lights Army. Since we were all followers and supporters of Lights and her music, I noticed that everyone was really pure and true human beings. You know what i mean? like, theres no selfishness, no rudeness, no judgement, no ugly sides. I was already then influenced by Lights' positivity, and i carried that attitude to poly and Mgbd. But after knowing all these incredible Lights Fans, it seems like the world became an even better place.
They helped me tweet and get Lights to watch my video, and she did! :D I must say, if I ever had to choose the best memory of 2010, this is it.
Thereafter, many Lights friends wanted to help me feel belonged and a part of this amazing family, since I was back then seemingly the only few Lights fans a distance from the core fans.
JennySu sent me a bunch of magazine which Lights appeared in/on. I really love her for that because she spent most of her paycheck on it and i feel really guilty about it since i can't pay back without credit card/ paypal :\
Emilie and Yne sent me the most cherished gifts i've ever received. An autographed Lights acoustic EP, autographed Lights poster, and too many awesome stuffs to mention. also, it came as a surprised!
Cassidy also got for me a Lights acoustic EP which was still nicely wrapped in its original packing.
Vicki sent me lots of stickers and photos.
Callie sent me xmas card and i finally got the chance to skype her!
I know these are all physical items and I sound materialistic. But in any case, they made me feel un-neglected and a part of Lights Army. If I could, I wanna meet all these amazing people and give them all a HUGE hug. Callie, JennySu, Vicki, Emilie, Yne, Mike, Emily, Jim, Cassidy, Alex, Evan, Betty, Frank, Timmy, Sarah and many more.
June was when I created my first forum, for Tonight Alive.
Thereafter, my life seemed to be completely taken over by MGBD. assignments, assignments, ASSignments.
I had to miss Nanette's birthday bbq because of this. I had to miss a couple of meet-ups with Pande because of this. I had to give up exercising and keeping fit because of this. I had to neglect important parts of my life because of this, even my family.
But because of this, I got to make friends with Weide and Hanliang. Who kinda became my best buddies along with Jolyn, Sheena, Melody, Liting, Beatrice, Akiya, Shengmin, Jiaqi, Derica, Siyun = my clique of 10 awesomelicioius babes. Whom are there to suffer with each other and chiong assignments overnight together. Also to dear Liyana for being my first mgbd friend and cheering me up with that lollipop. Life in MGBD would seriously suck without any of them. So thank you guys and babes for keeping me sane.
Should I skip the drama? nahs, i shouldn't. This immature drama definitely screwed up a happy and ordinary 2010 for me. I'm writing it here as a reminder to myself for not trusting first impressions. So yea, thank you for that. sincerely.
So yea, I'm sitting here in front of my Mac typing this at 10pm December 31st 2010. While a billion others are out there waiting to countdown to 2011, I'm staying at home doing school work.
And you know why? It's because I'm a Capricorn.
Well, to be honest, i'm not exactly looking forward to 2011. It would mean turning 18, starting second year, another year of fear and sleepless nights.
If there's anything I look forward to, it'll be meeting gabe for the first time in the first week of Jan! which is like NEXT WEEK! :D So yay to that. and hopefully if everything goes as plan, i'll be able to meet my dearest and best damn Austrian girl Greta in person after knowing her for 3 years *hearts*
So ending this post on a happy note, I hope everyone has had an amazing 2010, and may 2011 be even more EPIC and AWESOME :)
I love you my family.
I love you my friends.
I love you you.
loves,

One of my worst, most embarrassing BUT proudest moment in receiving a prize.
Look at that face manz. i am pretty much VERY regretful for making such an UGLY expression for my FIRST DIRECTOR’s LIST shot. Yes, the man beside is my school director.
but at the same time, Proud of myself.
I’ve always wanted to do something like that when taking important photos, and im glad I (somehow subconsciously) gathered the courage to for this! (thanks to Kimberly&Chiharu for the dare)
Here's huge props to Zaki for topping MGBD! :D
and grats to Kim, Chi, Fiqa for getting in the list too! yays!
Things-To-Do-Before-I-Die:
Receiving an award/prize with an ugly expression.
Checked.
loves, mal
