Ready for 2015 X Pixaroll

Reading my 2013's blogpost I realised that at the bottom, I only stated one new year resolution.

"to get into a JC and study hard!"

Obviously. That did not come true. But it was by choice and not because I did not work hard.

On 17 January, I wrote in my diary "Hope I don't regret it. But I guess, even if I regretted, I don't mind cause I will still try my best." Thank god I have not regretted any part of this choice yet but I'm not giving my best so I will work on it next year.

I remember making another resolution while I was watching the fireworks at 00:00 1st Jan this year. Again, I did not succeed in it even though I'm about halfway there already (I hope).

A few improvements that I've made this year for my blog is definitely the photo quality. Looking back at last year's post, I set the quality every photo to be at its lowest because there is a data storage capacity to post on blogger. But now, I try to use the best photos even though it means that I have to upload every photo to another website first.

Secondly, I think I've became more responsible this year. I am more committed to school work which is what I am "supposed" to do now. (Or at least assumed by everyone)

Thirdly, I am becoming more open minded because I've tried out more things this year, especially this month. Some are good while some are not that great but I guess its okay to make reckless decisions once in a while.

To be honest, I hope that by next year december when I read back this blog post, I will either judge this blog post because my writing style improved tremendously or that I'll be doing great because of this writing style now.

According to tradition, even though it only started last year, I will post some photos to summarise my whole year.

Took more than 12 hours for this blogpost so *warning: its super photo heavy and I look really ugly in some photos:')

I know posting the above photo with the caption of us having home cooked food is very weird but I would like to share this photo because I've only got to know the people in the photo through a girl who I met on the train. Its like we started talking when I boarded the train and the girl and her friend were about to alight at the next station.
But within that one station distance, we managed to exchange numbers and afterwards, they asked me out and I got to meet more of their friends. Its funny and scary how 缘分 works.
Also, I feel that they are very sincere in treating everyone and I think they will be good friends to keep <3

I watched this movie recently whereby life is depicted as a bus ride. People board the bus at different points of your life. However, there is always a time when they have to alight and when its time, they leave.

No matter how much we don't want them to leave, they will leave and their next destination is probably not our business any more. Yes, even if we feel sad I guess its alright because we might or might not meet again at the next stop or there might be others waiting to board at the next stop.

One of my weakness is that I'm too afraid of people leaving my life. I try too hard sometimes to let them stay. But its really tiring at times to be the only one trying.

I've spent almost my entire weekends in 2014 working and finally resigned this month. During work, whenever someone is transferred away/ resigned, I will feel very very upset, which is probably another reason why I stayed on to all my jobs for a long time. Because I am too afraid of separation.

Was having a talk with Kw at my void deck the other day and she told me a story of her friend who left her clique so easily. I really envy that friend and hope that one day I can be more like her(not that extreme though) because its probably one of the easier ways to survive in this society!

Resolutions for 2015:

1. Be Happy.
2. Exercise more and stop being fat.
3. Do things less meticulously. I hate how ego and 理智 stops me from doing what I truly want to do at times. I know I need 尊严 to accompany me for the rest of my life but I also hate that feeling of regret which I get after things happened. 
4. I need to stop stopping those who want to leave from leaving my life. 
5. Have time for myself.

“我用尽了力气 想要留住你 你却没会意 你的坚决让我不得不放弃”－ mascara （烟熏妆）

no point for me to hang on if its not fate right? :)
2015 seems to be looking great and I can't wait to live and enjoy every moment!

Noir Et Blanc X Noodle Story

Haven't been blogging much for the past month and even if I did, its all about events.. which kinda made me feel bad because I created this blog mainly to record down my personal life.. So, today I decided to do a more personal post! One of more major events that happened to me this year was definitely my piano recital on November 19th. It was my first time performing a piano piece in front of a big crowd ever since I started playing piano about 12 years ago.

I remember wanting to learn how to play piano because my brother was learning it as well. So, not wanting to be left out, I started. It was not an easy journey. I wasn't much of a hardworking person who will practise hours everyday and every practice will only last for an hour maximum. Everytime before my piano exams, I will start to panic because my standards are really not there yet. My best and only grade that I got distinction for is only grade 1(laughs), while the rest are just passes/mere merit. I stopped for two years when I was 10-12 years old, mainly because my brother stopped for his PSLE and I did not have a 'competitor'. So, we both continued together when I was 13. I only continued for a short two years because my bro stopped again due to his 'O's. And this time, I did not continue to take lessons anymore.
I did not enjoy playing piano for the sake having grade exams. Its not like I am aiming to be a piano instructor/performer when I grow up so I did not see the point of continuing lessons.

However, when I came to poly, my interest and passion for piano was coming back. The stress of preparing for exams and taking lessons were gone so I truly felt the joy in playing piano.
Hence, I joined piano ensemble. I'm definitely not the best player there but I'm really glad to have joined because I've learnt a lot.

About two/three weeks before the concert, I couldn't play my pieces very well and almost got taken out of the concert. I wasn't reprimanded and instead was encouraged to work harder by my seniors. I was really on the purge of giving up but I'm glad and not regretting that I gave myself another chance.

Before the concert:

With WenXiang

Okay, this photo is taken after the concert but I just wanna put it here because I'm really thankful to JingKai, Wenxiang and Geraldine because all three of them kept encouraging us not to give up, plus came all the way down to the clubroom to open the doors so that we can have more practise time.

With Audrey

And last photo with my partner, Audrey, before the concert starts. Glad to have her as my partner because she was really patient with me every time I wanted to repeat because I played something wrong. I swear its super annoying to cut off halfway to repeat a part because every time my piano teacher did that last time, I raged so badly inside.



Post concert:
So, after the concert, the first person I met was my mama<3

Surprisingly and kinda awkardly, zhikai and clarence were sitting next to her and my and bro even though they don't know each other. And guess who gave my rose to my mum instead of me :@ #IperformOrMyMumPerformSia #Jealousy LOL.

With Clarence

With ZhiKai

With Earth and Rachel

With Embers!! 

With FengCheng

With Weiheng

With my most supportive pri school mates!! 

Can't believe they actually got me a nicely wrapped up broccoli as a prank LOL.

With Eva and Angeline! <3

Great evening!! 

With Jarred

With Ashley

With XiaoQin

Received the most amount of flowers I've ever/will ever receive in my life and I was so so so so touched :'))))
Spent about an hour after reaching home just to take nice shots of them because I was so afraid to see them wither before having nice photos.

Its been a month since the concert and all the flowers have dried up while some were infected by fungi:( Chose the healthier ones and dried them! Now I'm only left with two small bottles.

生命短暂  每一样美好的东西都会有期限 快乐过 就不会有遗憾 因为或许这就是缘分 

But now it means I have more props to take photos hehe! Heres a photo of the flower with Jenny Cookies that Guoliang got for me when he went to HongKong :>

Shall end it off here! Still thankful and appreciative to everyone who took time and money to come!
#blessed (hash-tagging even though hashtags don't work because I think its the best way to express my thoughts)

Rest of the photos taken that night here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/93n2xpjpkovvwnh/AABC_pUUsWf8tScSAI1yI2Eta?n=143435429 :)
