Its never too late for a summary of 2010 right?
*EDIT

2010

1) Left MES - Honestly I have had so much feelings for MES for the 2 years. Because of MES, I had been mad busy during the most critical periods (highly due to high procrastination rates), because of MES I had to lug 20kg worth of things alone on a bus from Bedok all the way back home, because of MES I had to go without sleep on some nights, because of MES life in school was worth it, life in school was fun. Yeah, I must say MES has been the backbone of my personal development and social life in NP. And taking off from MES was indeed a tough decision, but I guess it was time to nurture the young ones.

2) Celebrated my last birthday with a "1" in front of my age. Yeah, I'm feeling angsty about turning 20. Its time to grow up.

3) California Challenge - I would say California Challenge was the peak of this year, and my life till now. Up till today, everyday I'll spend some time reminiscing those days the 26 of us spent in California. Words can't describe everything, but those days we spent staying up late to type the essays, being awaken up at 3am to continue with the essays but end up blabbering some nonsense and going back to sleep, and then jumping up at 6am and go "OH SHIT", and the R&R part of the trip, it feels like a fantasy now.

4) ASEAN Amazing Youth Explorace - Had a 7 day tourism trip to Malaysia. Made great friends, and I'm glad I made initiatives to make new friends, something I regretted not doing during APEC (I was hibernating during APEC)

5) Vietnam Overseas Internship - The shift to maturity and independence. Yeah, ever since I came here, I've been romping the town alone (Ok, not all the time - I'm not so emo major), took time off to just sit in coffee shop for some time alone (something I longed to have in Singapore), and I'm proud to say, my skin have grown slightly thicker and yes I'm definitely much more independent now.

2011

Resolutions don't work for me because I'm always over-ambitious with the resolutions. So this year I'm keeping it simple, just 3.

1) Spend more time with family & friends. For the past 3 years, I had trouble juggling school, CCA, commitments, family and friends, and obviously I didn't prioritise family or friends. So this year, I shall take a step back and spend more time with my loved ones. To all my dear friends, I'm sorry and I promise to make it up! You all know I heart you all much much.

2) Weekly voluntary works. Anyone else interested?

3) Pick up something new. I haven't decided what yet, but I will soon!

My resolution finally seems feasible for the first time, Hallelujah!

Everything for year 2011 seems pretty misty and hazy for me now, I guess many things I have to take it as it comes, and there are so many things which I can't predict right now. Feeling kind of angsty emo depressed over my future directions but I guess everything will work out in the end, I hope. Whatever it is, to everyone, have a great 2011!

Will be back in Singapore in 3 weeks. ♥ ♥ ♥ !!
