Looking Back: 2014

It's kinda funny when I look back on all my previous New Year posts. I'd list things that I would do throughout the year, and then live another 12 months to realise that I failed miserably again and again. So yeah, well, no more resolutions this time.

2014 was one of its kind, a simple and uneventful one. It wasn't phenomenal or fun-filled; but it wasn't all dark and depressing either. It came all too fast, and now it's gone in a blink. A few things to remember and to be thankful for:

1307 G13 - Peepul



I have honestly never been in a class with people who are so different from each other, and I slowly came to appreciate how even though we're different, we stuck together from the beginning to the end. That alone, is amazing. Put the oddest bunch of kids together for a year and a half, I promise you'll be surprised.

Also not to mention, Langkawi Class Trip!!!


CAL Prom Night: Regalias


My first prom ever! Spent a bomb but it was all worth it. It was fun just preparing for it, and there we all were, dressed in our best. I guess everyone looked great that night. The best part was it got better, because the next day just happened to be...

My Birthday!

Hands down, the best birthday I've had. Thanks to everyone who made it so special and memorable, words can't express how much it all means to me. I'm missing you guys right now :)

A-Levels


If there is one word to describe A Levels, it's hellish. I swear have never studied as much as I did in my entire life as I did for just A Levels. But one thing was clear: It changed me. And I'm very satisfied with the outcome. It was a great pleasure studying away from home, in an unfamiliar place; I regret nothing.

Friends To Keep

Moving on, some great people who made the year worthwhile.






Saving the best for last...

My One & Only ♥


2014 would be nothing without you. To the best boyfriend I could ever ask for, who listens to me when I whine over the same problems, who knows all the right things to say to make my day, who is ever so patient with me, and who loves me for the way I am even though I can be difficult at times - I love you so much. Thank you for always being there when I need you, and for making the happiest girl alive. To many more years to come, baby <3

Well that was long, I guess that sums up what I wanted to say. Thank you for everything, 2014, Happy New Year everyone! 

P.S. And also let's not forget the fact that I'm finally 20! Such a nice number, no?

Yayasan Khazanah: First & Second Stage

Undeniably, scholarships and I tend to have rather... complicated relationships. The first one I applied for (and a quite prestigious one for heaven's sake) didn't qualify because reckless little me missed out one of the application procedures. I'm still beating myself up for that. And then there was Taylor's Principal Awards where I was awarded with 10 thousand MYR worth of tuition wee waiver for selected Pre-University Courses. Considering my current financial abilities, I turned it down because as honoured as I am to be holding a TPA, the remaining uncovered fees (not to mention living costs) were still far from what my family could afford. I didn't get the PETRONAS scholarship, neither did I make it to the 3rd stage of Yayasan Khazanah (YK). I say, failures are a sign of you're getting closer to what you want, so let's rejoice.  Back to where I started, I was about to write about what I've learned during the interview processes of YK - Stag...

Yet Another Door Opens

It has been an awful long while since the last time I found myself sitting in front of my laptop, wanting nothing else but some peace and alone time. All this while I've been occupied, physically and mentally, so much that letting myself sink into thoughts seemed like a little too much to ask for. Right now less than 24 hours before I get on a plane and embark on a journey unknown, words are flowing, thoughts that I haven't had much time for are slowly resurfacing - all I feel is restless. As cliche as it gets, you can't help yourself from looking back when you've come so far. And I have come so far. Anyone who has been through a dark phase in their lives and subsequently managed to pull themselves together and emerge as a better person would understand this: no matter how many times it seems like it's raining stones upon us, we're never really broken. Every time we hit the ground hard we grow an inch taller, readier to stand and face whatever's in our w...
