2012

I'm actually home alone now as I type and I'm trying to convince myself that spending new year's eve alone isn't all that bad. Yes, here's when you insert the [FOREVER ALONE] image from 9gag.

While waiting for my black pepper sausages to defrost, I thought I'd contribute my very last post in 2011. :)

Back in 2009, I posted about the nine things I did in 2009
2010 came and went, and I shared 2010's best moments with all of you.

Honestly, I didn't know what to do for 2011 but since it was my SPM examination year, I've had my own share of stressful and joyous moments so this year's post shall be done in two parts:

This section is about expressing my heartfelt gratitude towards the people who have helped me gone through the year, and kept me sane all the while when I was about to lose it. These people gave the year 2011 a reason to be remembered, and inspired me to introduce this section. :)

ONE - The ever dedicated and caring teachers of SMK Convent Green Lane and all of my tuition teachers.

Honestly, my school teachers never gave up on all of us even though we were at the verge of doing so. They kept pushing and reminding us of the standard we have to live up to, and let me tell you this: It is not easy to keep faith with our somewhat lackadaisical attitude during the beginning of the year. It may have been tiring for us, but even more so for them. If not for their persistent pushing, I wouldn't have been able to push through and emerge alive during those stressful periods. :)



During our last day in Pn. Oh's tuition. Love this woman to bits! Best and nicest BM teacher I've ever had, along with Pn. Ivy. :)


That's Pn. Gan in red, Ms. Chow in pink and Ivy's hugging Pn. Marsila.


Pn. Lim Yen Lee, our dear headmistress.


Teachers' Day.


Mr. Arun. Hahaha.

TWO - Friends

My classmates' kiasu-ness motivated me to study, but don't tell them I told you that. :P It always feels good to know that you are not alone, and my friends reminded me that I was not alone on that race. All those trips to the library after school were also much more bearable with them around.


People like Ivy, Sarah, Kuen May, Shu Ni, Joanne, Wendy, and Zoe for entertaining me, laughing at my lame jokes and always reminding me that I'm loved. But not just them, in fact everyone around me has been of great company this year and I am equally thankful for all of you. :)


Viva 5 Arif! :DDD


The noisiest and dirtiest class. And we take pride in it. :P


Geng saya. 8D


Prom Nite 2011


CGL's 50th anniversary dinner.


This was during CGL's musical with Marion Caunter.


Le babis - Zoe and I.

THREE - Teammates.


Floorball and volleyball are both team sports, which means we win and lose together. I've faced a lot of heart wrenching losts and near misses this year, some of which were my last. I've trained with them, won/lost (depends on your POV) with them, cried with them, got back up again with them, and basically, learned lessons and had TRUCKLOADS of fun with them! These people truly enriched my life and made me fall deeper in love with the sport I partook in.

I owe it to the coaches as well, who has taught us so much and despite letting them down so many times, they continued believing in us and that belief itself is enough to fuel the whole team to believe with them.


CGL Invictus!


Spearhead - Be Strong and Courageous


The Penang girls! :D


MSSPP U-18


Steamboat BBQ celebration with fellow volleyball mates.

FOUR - The Neoh family.


Mum and dad, for their constant nagging and worrying. :P
For all the love they shower me with which can be seen by the little things they do, the sacrifices they've made, and how they always want the best for and from me. I honestly don't know what I'd do without them, even though sometimes they drive me up the wall. But all fair, since it's a mutual thing. :P


My two elder sisters, Junnie and Janice.


Junnie, for driving me up to wall too and testing my patience. Despite the huge age gap and love hate relationship I have with her, I know too that she wants me to be the best that I can be.


Janice, for all the times she laughed at my lame jokes and made even lamer ones. And yet I still laugh at them. Beats me.
She's the elder sister who keeps me on track. She knows what to say and how to say it, because she knows how my mind works. Even though she says things I've already heard, but every time she says it I would think twice about her rationale. Also the house elf who cleans up after my mess (despite her constant nagging to get me to clear up mine), and the only one in the family who understands me best.


Happy, my little brother who also happens to be the prince of the house. What can I say? He charms everyone's heart with his antics and does the silliest things like running into the chair.


Dad's little girls - Junnie, mum, me, Janice.


With dad and my eldest sister. :D


I told you so.

FIVE - I am truly grateful to all the divine powers for blessing me with all things wonderful. :)

Expectations for 2012

SIX - To mature into a better person.

-I need to practice more patience and be less judgmental towards other people.
-I've to start looking at the glass as half full first, and then slowly, look at it as full with half water, half air.
-Grow spiritually, and be more mindful in life.
-Have a little more confidence in myself.
-Be less lazy.

I saw this Tweet by Jules:

"My goal for 2012 is to do 365 of good deeds starting from the 1st in hopes that one day, it will come naturally to do a good deed everyday"

Indeed, well said.

SEVEN - More floorball.

I've got a lot more to learn and unlearn.
e.g: Learn to hold the stick with two hands. Unlearn holding the stick with one hand.


I certainly hope to form greater bonds between my teammates, sharpen my skills, train up my stamina, learn new lessons and hopefully win my first gold medal.

ps: More workout -> hotter body. :DDDDDDDD


EIGHT - Tertiary education.

As much as I try to avoid it, I know that the day when I start tertiary education would finally come and hopefully whatever my decisions I make in the near future will be the right one. Oh and like Ame says, my SPM results. :)

NINE - My first car, first time driving on the road, first paycheck, first room all to myself, etc.

TEN - More people to enter my life and enhance its meaning. And for the people I love to stay as long as possible.


ELEVEN - Greater things to come for both you, the one reading this and I. Period. :)
