What are words 281216

3rd last day of 2016...
This is so fking surreal
Like I can't believe that one whole year just flew past like that

2016 really feels like it has been 3 years long

The 7 months before school started were just a jumble of juggling shitty jobs and trying to stay in touch with my friends while everyone seemed to be moving on with their lives. And then there was the whole uncertainty about uni apps, the scholarship applications, the internship, the disappointment when I realised I would be stuck in sg for 5 years (turned out not so bad after all I guess but it still kinda sucks coz going to uni abroad was one of my greatest motivations to work hard during A levels lol), the dilemma about which course I wanted to do (I was seriously choosing between archi and biz, like I applied to both courses!!!), the dilemma about which school I wanted to go to...... etc......

I think 2016 was a year full having to make hard decisions because every decision I make could really shape my life so differently. But reflecting on this year, I would say that I do not regret any of my academic choices even if archi is on another level of insane to go through......

2016 was also definitely a year of growing up. If anything, JC felt like eons ago and I would say that I am definitely significantly different in quite a number of ways. Even though I lived in boarding in J2 (on my own), living on campus this past sem is definitely really different because there is so much more freedom (which is a good and bad thing). I think this year, esp the past 4 months have really just been me being pushed to my limits and surviving (barely but still alive haha). Will never forget my one and only overnighter this sem (I tried to sleep at least 2 hours every night haha) where we chionged our tropicality model only to have it collapse coz we were stupid and forgot to use a fking sturdy base (impt!!!!!! sharms pls nvr forget ever again!!!!! o m g hahaha fk). Also how Hillz, Justin, Weij and I rushed our portfolio (or final parts of our portfolios haha) 2 days before the dateline at Studio Hilly hahaha (do not go to West Coast Plaza printing shop it sucks!!!)": ) Also recruiting my non-archi friends to help me cut score pvc strips (hahaha) for models, thanks guys<3 oh ya oh ya and going to tgiw with the batch 4 days before structurals exams hahaha..... And hanging out at YIH (albeit studying) with the YIH gang who never fail to make me laugh and to feed me at 4am when I am dying as usual... And ryan for all the times we force (actually its just Kai forcing hahah) u to help us buy ameens and jessie getting so annoyed by the guys hahaha and ben going on about amazing race or angel and mortals hahaha..... There are many many other little moments and inside jokes that have helped make my semester really enjoyable despite the fact that archi+rvrc is really quite an insane workload (for me la, maybe its easy for some ppl haha..... :|)

And before sch started! The China trip!!! One of my favorite trips ever coz I loved the scenery like having towns carved around the tower karsts (Landscape) is just freaking picturesque and the whole experience where we rode scooters, visited waterfalls, climbed up hills to look at rice fields, went thru many many caves (hehe sorry being nerdy right now coz ex-geog student lol), took a boat ride from guilin to yangshuo, visited local chinese bars.... oh ya we also stopped over in hk for one night first and it was my first time in hk ever and I loved it too! hehe ok it sounds damn boring but I loved it hahaha

ok I'm tired of typing haha I know my moments I loved about 2016 may sound damn sad la like it's just supper and datelines and rice fields but fk it
these are my fav moments and I just want to record them down for me hehe (;

What are words 201116

There are days when I wake up

That I don't know what I'm doing here

I barely recognize the pair of eyes staring back at me in the mirror

there was a day that I was free

Not a care that I could see

So good I barely could believe that it was happening

Oh take me back again

I was 16 with an open heart

windows down in a beat up car

When I was dumb and the world was young and she was beautiful

She was beautiful

How do we end up like this?

Living lives that we don't care about?

Too busy fixing things

On computer screens

While the grass grows green

Me, I'm screaming out

Woah this sem's been such a ride.
Can't believe it's almost ending and I'm alive.
Barely alive but slowly and surely surviving
Am fking thankful to my friends for that though
Don't know how I'd have made it through without them
The past 2-3 weeks have been fking hell to go thru
Burnt out fking badly and was just an empty empty shell
But I'm gradually starting to feel again
Starting to participate again
Feels like I'm reviving from the dead wtf
Just so so thankful o m g
