Mid-year updates

Never thought I could actually work on my new year resolutions, but all has been good. I've been working harder than ever, starting out with just pure inspiration around me (and also $$$ temptations).

Started my internship just a few days ago and how I so love the pantry. I am a glutton! I'm loving the flexibility of time, relative freedom, ability to surf social media platforms and most importantly the food and drinks available. After (just less than a month) of ad-hoc jobs that were unmotivating and killing my brain cells, I am really really thankful for an office internship.

That aside, I was just thinking today how glad I am that gone were the emo days of my teenage life. Starting my age with a 2 this year and I cannot be more contented.

Oh and GPA improved significantly this sem, what a pleasant surprise!

Ok abrupt ending bye

CHANGE

I've learnt to become so thankful for everything around me. This year I lost my grandfather and it was the first time I've ever lost anybody around me. Losing people (albeit not just this loss) had the effect of making me cherish everything around me more.

However, it used to be more about waking up on Saturday morning for kidsREAD session to teach the less privileged kids english than about Friday party nights. I hope that in 2013 I'd remember to be the person I envisioned myself to be.

"2012, I'm nothing but thankful, no matter how bittersweet the losses or gains might have been."

Time for mandatory new year's resolution.....

• Be physically stronger
• Start making & saving money (so inspired by people in university that don't take pocket money)
• Study hard & work on GPA
• Volunteer
• Travel to places I've never been before
  
  Here's to a fresh start :)
