2014 was one helluva tough year. I've been through many ups and down, and for the first time, I felt like the year was an awkward roller coaster. There were many troubles, many uncertainties, many excitements, and many opportunities. I do admit that without all these weird encounters, life would be boring and super uninteresting. But God, please don't torture me too much T.T
It's 19/365 of 2015 and it's been super good to me so far! 2015 will be such a great year for me and for everyone else too!
To sum up my treacherous 2014 (ha ha), I just got to say that it's true that we all have to seize all opportunities, to not take things for granted, and to love what you do.
It's always nice to spend some time with my family, they are the ones that gave me that mental strength because, I ain't got no curfew bitches HAHAHHA I mean like...being a dancer, I can't really control late night rehearsals, and I've been disappearing from home so much to the extent that everyone says,"you go home for the bed only right." T.T NOOOOO without my family supporting me endlessly by doing nothing, I don't think I'll be so optimistic with things HAHA because if they choose to do smth, it'll be to nag/rush me home/force me to cut down on performing etc so I'm thankful that they are so supportive :')
Concerts/events
I'd say that I'm really fortunate to get Woohoo! Experience as my internship company. Indeed, it had been a really woohoo experience with them. HAHA I've been exposed to so many media events and concerts. OneRepublic, F1 Big Bang show, Avril Lavigne are just to name a few.
I thank God for graduation. I finally broke free from SP. HAHA. Not that I hated SP...I just thought that it didn't give me as much exposure and recognition as I've expected..? It could be because I've gained a lot in secondary school so I thought in Poly, teachers and lectures would be attentive to such as well but nopeeeeeeeee + I kinda feel like going to school is like...meh I've been changing groups every year, somehow..and my clique doesn't like to attend school because they're lazy... And my block is on the extreme end from Edward...and in the events course there are projects + tutorials + others and everything are included in the GPA. Lol I ain't no consistent bitch. But I managed to pull through this phase which I really thank God, my family, Edward, and R&T ^_^
I sort of regretted...? Like I should've pushed hard since year 1, and be a no life kid HAHA not trying to say edward had no life but yeah that pretty much described his poly days HAHAHHAHAHA ^_^'
University
Many people are as shocked as I do. Yup. I didn't get a position for Uni lol. It's kinda my fault also because I didn't apply all institutions and ok to be frank, I didn't fill up all 5 choices for NUS also. BUT STILL. My GPA was within the IGP so maybe I kinda overestimated my results...? But fkkkkkkkk NTU didn't even call me for interview when I just saw the latest IGP and the GPA is still very much lower than my final CGPA?! Lol what logic. At least if I've gotten an interview and I failed it, I can understand...But the fking problem is I did not receive anything ok. Then when I emailed to check, then they replied with a rejection. Lol and when I question them, they said they've hit the quota. YEAH RIGHT. I don't get their ranking system and criteria lol wts if the IGP increase then ok I'll have to suck it up but nope it didn't lol can some one enlighten me.. -.-
But whatever it is, I've learnt my lesson, to not take things for granted, and to apply everywhere to make sure I'll be spoilt for choices instead of weeping away and regretting shiz that could have been handled otherwise. I admit that moment of despair was indeed a wake up call; if not for edward's advices, I guess i'd become like those drama's haggards HAHA or maybe I'll just turn into an unmotivated brat hahahaha So to juniors or whoever out there, SEIZE ALL OPPORTUNITIES, and do not do things at the last minute. Always be prepared, and save the application as you are filling up the details.
So knowing that I have to spend a year doing something else instead of studying, my super kind woohoo boss recommended me to several companies that she felt I was suitable for, and I chose Circus Maximus - which is her brothers' event company hhaha.
We were supposed to organize a rave party, which I thought it really had some direction and it'd been so much fun! But somehow, after conducting several surveys, it got cancelled. What a 2014 right. Our team was so afraid we'll all turn jobless because we were actually really hired for that event only...hmm well, I managed to keep my job there, and I somehow became a floater, working on various projects for different departments~
One of my fav events was my own company's christmas day-out! Everyone else were so buy with their own event preparations so I kind of did it myself with the help of 1-2 colleagues! But I swear it's really this that helped me open up to a few of them.
Seriously, many of you will know me as an extroverted person that can't stop talking and if I do it'd meant that things are abnormal...but in this company. It's completely opposite. Everyone thinks i'm really quiet and nice and an introvert that'll just smile and say ok to everything. And that sometimes really pisses me off so bad because I feel like, I'm really not myself there and it's a torture to go to work. Imagine an extrovert shutting her mouth for the entire day. lol it sucks
But really, this day out helped a lot and i'm thankful for it! :) so i'm currently still on contract term until April 2015, then it's time for some holiday fun and then university!
Birthdays
I just got to say that I have an innate talent to plan and execute birthday celebrations HAHAHHA I've been doing that since young with my neighbours, and then when now too, for most of my friends haha and below are just a few significant ones that I remember for 2014 hhaha
Everyone are complaining so much about their bfs going into NS but I somehow felt excited for edward HAHA not because I won't miss him, but because he can train to look hot as fk HAHAHHA no lah. Like...idk. I just HATE incompetent guys and like those that sulk over NS lol. Since you're obliged to do it, THEN DO IT. so yep HAPPY IZ ME HAHA
I turned 21 this year, and I'm gratedul that the party turned out the way I expected it to be! Somehow. HAHA except that I only managed to eat 1 round of buffet food T.T I always eat at least 2 rounds ok. :( I think because I was busy laughing and taking pictures so hahahahahha
Overseas Trips
Why would I say that 2014 had it's super exciting moments too? BECAUSE OF THIS HAHA BECAUSE OF SCOOT. THANK SCOOT SO MUCH YOU KNOW HAHA
It had this crazy sale in Oct 2013, and I YOLO-ed and bought Seoul tickets with Carmen, and Gold Coast tickets with R&T hahha each for less than SGD$300 - round trip inclusive of taxes.
I KNOW RIGHT. Jaw dropping sale ok. I was so close to booking Taiwan ok. Taiwan was less than $100 round trip inclusive of tax hor I tell you... But I'm so scared I won't have enough money to fly then because there's a dateline ah...BUT SHIOKANABEI GUYS
& I'm super happy that I got to travel with edward again! ^_^ Our first trip together is on cruise, and now tioman! Where's next? ;)
Opportunities
I walked pass the poster, and jokingly told Shanice,"how nice would it be to see your own face so big up on the walls in town right, let's just hashtag for fun lah" THEN I GOT IT HAHAHAHAA SO GRATEFUL.
As y'all read or know me, you'd know that I am a dancer, SO YAS to 2 projects with shortslip! HAHA
Joining KPOP was a really good experience because it was our first time choreographing our own piece with a little help from our instructor! ^_^
Another dance crew that I got so attached to - MénaQueens :') while xavier went away for his LA trip, we secretly made this concept with for him and it was my first time directing dance videos! Happy for the opportunity! ^_^
Had our biennial concert at Kallang theatre this time and it was my first time in a Jazz item!
It wasn't an easy feat considering that my only background similar to this genre was chinese dance. I hardly even attend tech classes. So that explains why I've been chided in the beginning phase of rehearsals hahahahah
And this is probably the last time I'll be performing with this bunch of Elite Teens for recital because i'm no longer a teen hahaahaha so I'll have to pass the assessment in order to get promoted..if not....... :I
This is our yearly affair @ the Tent outside of Taka, and this is my 4th year performing with studio wu. AND I FINALLY GOT SOME DECENT PICS BY THE OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPHER HAHA
Well...that's sort of how my 2014 went... The down part was mostly because of school and work...Other than that I want to just appreciate everything that has happened. I've read The Secret many times and that has always been my guiding principle HAHA I just want to have lists and lists of things to thank for. And I think everyone should start thinking that way too. Don't you find that it's so much better to find things to be happy and grateful about than to complain and be grumpy. ;)
So let's live our 2015 and the years ahead colourfully and ALWAYS EXPRESS GRATITUDE GENUINELY!
