I do like how my 2014 went by. It was fast (not easy), but I managed to embraced all the growing up process. I've come to consensus that grades should never determine me. Good grades etc. can only give me the head-start in my career, and the rest is up to me. Well, street smart is always better than book smart. Though I'm still seeking out the future I want, I'm already over the fact that my efforts will never be depicted in my uni grades. I know I've given my all, and it's good enough. People can look down at me for all they want, but I'll strive and crave out a heaven for myself.
Here's some major/highlights events, which pretty much sums up my year. Thank you everyone for sticking by me!
1. Changed my phone to iPhone 5S (because Gold is too pretty to resist)
2. Braces - Reason why people said I've slimmed down
3. Maplestory!! Ikr, cutest game ever. My way of distress.
(Stopped playing after exams ended though)
4. First (and last) marathon!
(It was hard convincing my mom to let me go; my bf wanted me to stop after 21km because of the rain; we almost got cut-off; I shed tears of pain; but WE FINISHED IT! Holy crap, insane journey, totally worth trying once. Once is enough and no way I'm going for another full marathon even though I survived with zero muscle aches.)
5. First plane trip with my friends to the land of smiles, Bangkok!
6. Bf scored free tickets to tour F1 pit, booyeah!
7. Farewell party (hostel stay) with my lovely poly mates!
(Guess we're past the age to squeeze in chalet and make ourselves dirty with bbq. It's been a long while since we caught up with one another, and I'm genuinely surprised how they've all changed.)
8. New uni friend!!
(If you're from UOL, you'll probably understand how hard it is for you to find a classmate friend. Here's to my new fourth friend in uni! Unbelievable right? Thanks YX for always introducing me to good hideouts & yes to dbl dates in future!)
9. Christmas get-to-gethers
(Well, if you're wondering who's my other three uni friends .......)
& here's my AF clique!
(Glad that bf initiated to get to know my friends. They're all nice people, told ya!)
10. Found my favorite foods - Waffles, Maple/Caramel, Risotto, Penne, Pizzas, Fries, Cupcakes!
11. Met the nicest boss ever who saved me from hell (Recruit Express); Passed my CEI Exam; Now a certified recruitment consultant; & tagging along in the upcoming Penang business trip!
(Can't believe I'm alr half a year into working for her! Longest working duration till date too! And I'm pretty much getting use to my English name, Avery.)
12. Tried wakeboarding!
(Well, my friends were pissed because they didn't manage to snap a shop of my unglamness. Meh I'm born to wakeboard. Just kidding, but I'm truly surprised I managed to get the hang of it on my first try. Cheers!)
13. My most doting bf who always princesses me up <3
That's it for 2014! I'll come back more regularly in 2015! (:
