While my childhood friend since we're in diapers friend Teresa Tran is witnessing/had witnessed awesome fireworks in OZ, we Malaysians and Singaporeans have around an hour to the start of a new decade.

Summing up 2009 is going to be both easy and hard.

I started the year with being a fourth former, all geared up for the second last year of high school. Thinking that the drama of the previous years were over.

I couldn't be more wrong.

Turning 16 is bittersweet. Whoever invented the term sweet sixteen should just hang him/herself and mourn about him/her not having a life.

Okay, I didn't mean it in a literal way.

Drama still happened, and note that there's a lot of drama, not just one kind.

Still, it was drama that helped me look at my current life in a totally new perspective.

I thought of myself as an open-minded person, at least, more than a lot of people I know anyway.

Wrong again.

I learnt so much more by trying new things, interacting with new people, and giving more than taking instead.

And I found that there's more to life than being the competitive and overly paranoid brat that I was.

I gave up many of the activities I took up in school. I got into fights, arguments.

So what? The results from all that gave me more time to myself, my family, and my friends.

I got saner from there.

And the support from friends that I never really cared much about. Whom are now my entire life. Whoever messes with them, gets hurt by me. I mean what I say. (:

School during my recovery process of those suicidal thoughts was great. I never experienced school life like that before. Looking from their perspectives gave me a whole new light in life.

And there are friends who accept me for being different. They don't judge me, nor shun me for just being myself. God has really blessed me with awesome friends this year.

Let's not forget them awesome people from RYLA '08. My first sip of pink vodka thanks to Fio, dancing among bubbles to SexyBack, founding my LSP, and more awesome peeps that love me for who I am are just some of the greatness by knowing them awesome people. I didn't need to fake myself or conform to fit in. That, is also a great comfort.

Oh yeah, totally sucky grades are also a first for this year. ;)

And yes, I also got to know new friends from school activities. There was the Spelling Bee competition at Sunway College, and the Talkback Classroom interview in KL. I'm one lucky girl actually.

Then there's discovering the tuition mates - Khai, Pei Ling, Yaya, Yi Shian, MaoMao. Through Khai, I also got to know Biela, and of course, the dear Twin. :]

Also, I experienced a certain emotion called love.

I'm sure by the time I publish this, I would had missed something or someone out, but though you guys are not in this post, you guys are always a major part of my life.

2009 had brought the unexpected and the unpredictable.

And I had always suck at resolutions.

But for 2010, this blogger shall do her very best to:

★Get motivated for SPM 2010.
★Think a lot, before she acts.
★Be herself, and only herself.
★Hang out with the awesome friends more.
★In which after she had gained more freedom and trust from the parents.
★Take more pictures and videos of loved ones.
★Dedicate self into getting her license and stop getting paranoid over it.
★Get a couple more piercings.
★Get a totally new hairstyle.
★Smile when things seem bad.
★Count to ten before shooting verbal bullets at people.
★Stay strong (and alive), throughout her last year of high school.
★Meet up with Dee and Terri.
★Get a job and earn own allowance.
★Get a figure worthy of the bikini I bought last year.
★Enjoy the last year of high school to the max.
★Appreciate life as it already is.
★Retreat to music when things go bad.
★Finish up with Grade 7 and 8 for piano.
★More photography sessions that are fashion/art-based.
★Regain her drawing skills.
★Decide her future. Eventually.
★Love herself like how she love others.

ME.
;)

Bring it on, 2010!!

It’s not an English name I came up with for myself. My mother is indeed a genius in coming up with such a splendid name for me. Although my name has been unfortunately mutilated (nicknames are excluded) over the past years, full credits to my mum for my current identity.

I’m certainly looking forward to changing the word ‘patient’ to ‘survivor’! If you’re interested to read about my journey in battling lymphoma, you can click here to proceed to my cancer blog.

Ironic, I know; this blog is mainly pink instead. I like all colours actually, but I find myself having an affinity to the colour green. In fact, I can safely say that green is my soul colour.

Languages, music, fashion, photography, cultures, dance, literature, writing; just about anything, really. The arts truly intrigue me, especially thought-provoking pieces. Of course, the arts play a major role in inspiring me in my everyday life.

I don’t have a favourite genre – I read any book that interests me!

I am a trained right-hander from young, since apparently being left-handed is considered ‘wrong’. Basically, I’m ambidextrous! No wonder I find it easier to air guitar using my left hand than my right; I simply relate to the arts than subjects that deal with logical thinking better, too.

A stubborn Bull I am, too. I abhor being rushed. I prefer doing matters at my own reasonable pace. I don’t particularly like changes in my routine, but I can adapt quite easily. I’m a very practical person as well. I enjoy the beautiful things in life, but that doesn’t make me shun ugliness at all. Besides, it all depends on how one perceives beauty. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

Still am, but I’m slowly learning to accept imperfection into my life. Also, I’m doing my best to erase the many expectations I have so I could one day master the art of letting go and freeing myself to simple happiness and joy.

Compared to before, I’m less dramatic nowadays. Language-wise, I attempt to blog flawlessly in English and speak proper English online with my peers. Call me a Grammar Nazi all you want, but that’s how I roll. I only converse in perfect English in formal situations and during my dramatic outbursts. Otherwise, I’m absolutely capable of communicating like the average Malaysian!

It’s a different issue altogether when you’re forced to learn for the sake of getting good grades, though. Other than that, I’m open to new information and knowledge anytime! I especially would like to learn more languages and pick up new musical instruments.

…are just some of the things I would love to do in the near future, hopefully!

the basic rules apply. If you respect me, I’ll respect you. If you happen to be someone who has low EQ skills, I’ll try to be tolerant but my patience is definitely limited. I’m observant when it comes to human behaviour. I’m a person of many opinions, but I don’t voice them out unless I trust you enough; I’m very honest and candid when it comes to the people I can trust. Even though I trust very easily, not everybody can prove that they’re all that nice. Hurt me, and I’ll only defend myself if necessary. Hurt my family or my friends – you won’t find me holding back.

Is there anything else you would like to know about me?
Throw me your questions and/or doubts here! I honestly have nothing to hide, so you’ll expect the truth and nothing but the truth.

It’s only how I phrase my answers that you’ll have to be aware of.
Or…you can click hereto go back to reading!
