The Growing Bam-Boo

Always that fragile

2013: A summary

2013 is coming to an end.
My views on 2013: A really happening year, and a year which I saw the most changes in myself.
I complained, I blamed alot in the previous years.
I made myself suffer badly.
This year, it was totally different.
I started it really fresh, mainly cos I cleared my mind and left everything in 2012. Lol!
I feel lighter and happier this year, and I hope this will continue until the end of my life.
And I mended some bonds with my old friends.

A summary of events this year:

1) 25 July – I turned 22! Had a quick birthday lunch with Liting at BBQ Chicken! hahahaha! My first celebration with friends~ had lots of fun catching up! ๐Ÿ˜€ And the continuous birthday lunches with my MINDEF colleagues! Thanks Michelle, Jenny, Catherine, Angelene, Chris, Siu Lai!

2) 2 August – meet up with MFCO friends at Chomp chomp! BBQ Seafood dinner with Jamie, Shi Heng, Zhao Xuan and Peiling! It was Zhao Xuan’s ORD and Shi Heng’s disruption date too hahaha! And Peiling surprised me with a birthday cake! Was really unexpected and damn touched by her surprise. :’) so the night ended with a chilling session at Peiling’s block void deck and helping her pack goodie bags for BHID! #nineyearsoffriendship



3) 2 October – ORD Lunch! Planned by my wonderful understudy Jun Boon, I had a department lunch at a Korean family restaurant! Hahaha! The food was really delicious! Had my favourite fish cake soup and fried chicken!

4) 6 October – my officer’s wedding! Hahaha! He officially becomes UNAVAILABLE hahaha! This was the second wedding dinner I had attended (i attended 3 this year btw), so why did I mention his wedding in this post? This was the most unique wedding dinner I have attended! The dinner was practically an imperial feast, with ไฝ›่ทณๅข™๏ผŒ้›ช่›ค and other ๅฑฑ็ๆตทๅ‘ณ! Unlike the usual wedding dinners, the atmosphere was damn high cos of the various getai singers and the emcee Marcus Chin! Everyone who attended the dinner really had fun!
My officer and his wife!
ไฝ›่ทณๅข™!
Suckling pig!
Singer~

5) 7 to 18 Oct – Satisfying my cravings – bulgogi, eomook, hanwoo, dimsum, ่ฝฆไป”้ข! Yup, I spent 2 weeks in Korea and Hong Kong! Didn’t have a very packed itinerary cos just wanna relax, eat and have fun! Hahaha! What I found out about myself during the trip was that I could spend $150 within 2 hours! And that was just clothings and shoes! Skin care products wise, I dunno how much it cost! Hahahaha! To those who know me long enough, you should be quite stunned cos I am not someone who likes to shop for clothes! Hahahaha!
Chicken!
Magic~
Jump, the martial arts comedy!

6) 8 November – ORD lo!! Ah boy to man? No leh I still feel like a boy hahahah! My last day of service in DMG, had mixed feelings that day! Made alot of friends from different departments so felt kinda sad. Oh, even though its my last day, I was still super blur. Hahaha! I left my document in the office, which was required in returning of camp pass. So had to go office to take and go down to the pass office to return my pass. So before I left, my department and friends gave me a really expensive farewell gift and a nice card. And Jun Boon still tried to fool me for the last time when he is out of office hahaha! Anyway, thanks officers and EA friends for their guidance and help during my 2 years. And the closer EA friends and officers who had been really good listeners and gave me lots of advice. They really made me become more positive and motivated ๐Ÿ™‚
ORD LO! From my department ๐Ÿ˜€
Certificates and gifts from my officers and other colleagues! ๐Ÿ˜€

7) 24 to 25 December – Christmas with MFCO Guanyue! ๐Ÿ˜€ Held at Shi Heng’s & Yong Shun’s hall, we had an enjoyable night playing Truth or Dare. It was a small group of 5 and we had alot of food, and gift exchange. LOL!
Our Christmas celebration!

Ok thats all for the events!
Honestly, this year passed really fast compared to 2012. HAHAHA!
And I should be happy that I achieved quite a few stuffs on my check up.
Most importantly, I SURVIVED 2 YEARS OF ARMY!!
Thats really my biggest achievement I think. ๐Ÿ˜›
Although I havent meet up much with my friends, I am glad that there are still who continued to stay in my pathetic life and gave me support as and when I needed it.
You guys should know who you are! โค
In life, we really dun need that many friends

Now, For 2014, I wanna:
1) Stay happy and positive like I did in 2013!
2) Work hard to be a successful person – in work, academic and friendship!
3) Study hard in Uni!
4) Pick up a new skill in performing arts ๐Ÿ™‚
5) Find a girlfriend – hopefully I meet a nice girl in Uni! I wont reject set-up and meetings/matchmaking by friends LOL. I dun have much criteria for a gf ok. Just comfortable, appreciate who I am and like music, and not round! ๐Ÿ˜€ Most important is hweelings ok!
6) Get fitter and gain weight! (This is forever there hahaha!)

Ok! Thats all! All these are not really hard to achieve as long as I am consistent and motivated.
Must tell myself, I CAN DO IT! ๐Ÿ˜€
“In order to love someone, you have to first learn how to love yourself.”
Cant remember who told me this hahaha!
Lastly, HAPPY 2014!!
I shall end it with a happy song! ๐Ÿ˜€ CHORONG AH!!!
