Wondered how I spent my 2011?
I looked back at all the things I have done and it was indeed a year of bitter sweet. It was like just yesterday I finish planning all the things I have to do for 2012 and clock strikes 12 and page 2 of 366 be-ginned already. 2011 was a year that I put my life into experiencing various things in life , taking a leap away from my comfort zone just to get one step closer to my dream. Last year , was also a year filled with hardships, fears , loss, illness and loneliness. It seems like my life isn't that dull and grey but colourful.

Beginning of 2011 was nothing big. I was just overhelm with all the school work and running errands. I was getting my resolutions settled , school settled and other things that I needed to get myself down on.
I also went on a Family trip after 2 years for Chinese New Year. The trip was really memorable as I met up with my cousins in a place where I have always longed to go for which is Taiwan. I went there for a 9 day trip and was satisfied. I am still wanting to go back after I finish my SPM and hoping that it will come true. Please check out my 9day trip on the post below. :)

This trip brought me a lot of knowledge towards the Taiwanese culture and also to know the aboriginals there. I really love the people , weather , scenaries, shopping and basically everything. Go there for a holiday and you will know why I said that. :)
In March , an earthquake and tsunami strucked Eastern of Japan. Everyone was devastated , I wasn't excluded. We all were trying our best to help Japan in one way or another. They are now good and still working hard to build a better Japan. Let's all hold hand-in-hand once again to be by their side. This had occured to me that how death can happen just in a split second. We all should appreciate all the things that we have and stop all the unnecessary complaints.
Besides, I finally finished my Beginner2 level of Japanese and proceeded on with the Intermediate level-1 class. I will take the test for I-1 this coming Saturday.

In April , I also recorded a video on how I tie a bun to school and casually as well. It was a smooth and good video , I think.

I have also experienced depression. 2011 was a year where I was very down at one point like literally. I am good now , just once in awhile I will get it and tears just flows out uncontrollably.
It was all drama. But we are now good! :)
Now , I learnt how to smile whenever I am down as it makes things better!

This picture is used in one of the RAGE articles as I was one of the contestants for MY CHALLENGE! :)

MAY was also bad , it didn't like me. not even a single bit but still I managed to get hold on the things I love to do without fail. I have been on strikes to do tutorials and stuff , it was all good. I think i did a pretty fairly well job in it. I am going to improve more on this area.
My life changed after I came back from BRATs. Thank You TheStar for creating this oppurtunity for youths to participate. Great experience. I met awesome people. Till now , the memories are still fresh in my mind.

In the year 2011, I lost 2 of my aunties. It was really heartbreaking when I heard about the news, really. Hope they are doing good now in their new home. Your laughters and actions will always be remembered.
Aside, I have started a blog just for short stories which comes and hit me in the middle of no where in that blog. I currently have 4-5 stories there. Still keeping them coming, will get them up really soon , I hope , I really do.
