2014 has been quite a good year for me.
If there's anything in which I've learnt this year, I think it would be learning how to let things go.
(Finally)
Because this is one thing in which I've been struggling with for years and years.
But this year, I realised that it isn't as hard for me to let things go and I think I can handle letting go of things now especially in the area of friendships.
Maybe this has all got to do with me finally getting sick of being disappointed and hurt that I finally had to force a foot forward or maybe it's just because I've grown older and I tend not to take it too hard on myself when I lose a friend. I don't know.
Anyway, as 2014 comes to an end, here are the things in which I am extremely grateful for/which made me especially happy this year. (According to what I wrote in my planner -because I write everything done and on days when I'm happy, I have it written down too).
1. 23/02: When I got accepted by *SCAPE for my internship right after the day of my interview. Despite the OTs, and never ending workload, I enjoyed my internship so much and had lots of fun when I was there. And I guess it speaks for why I would go back and help out once in awhile, as and when I can. And following that, on 21/03, my very first work being put up for an event. I don't think I'll ever forget how it feels like to have my work being printed up and put up in real life that is like x100 times the size I see it when I was designing it on the com. I really did felt so good I felt all teary inside lol. (x)
2. 11/04: Wasn't exactly a happy day for me because I didn't do well for my test but was extremely thankful for John Lim for asking me out and he even wanted to treat me for dinner to cheer me up :') following that, we met Minjiang and was stuck at the causeway for freaking 3-4hrs because Minjiang didn't want to listen to me when I told him to exit highway and would rather trust his GPS which lead us to join the massive jam to Malaysia. What's more it was a freaking Friday -.- HAHHA. It's so weird that this day kinda sucked but I still put it on my list. But that's cause I really am thankful that John Lim wanted to buy me dinner to comfort me. Though I didn't allow him to pay for me in the end!
3. 17/04: This day was also nothing special but then I met Josh for dinner and we had out first heart to heart talk at some bpp semi circle which lasted for 2hrs PLUS, he sent me home after?!?!? Imagine how shock I was LOL. Not exactly a super happy day but it's definitely a memorable one.
4. 11/05: I wrote "OH HAPPY DAY!!" on my planner and I don't know why I felt so happy that day. LOL but I remember I was really happy. It was mothers' day and Josh came and meet me for lunch after which, he accompanied me to go get presents for my mum and Yanting. Then we headed to PlazaSg for me to surprise Yanting before going to the museum together and later at night, I got my iPhone. I think what made me really happy was the fact that I almost spat water at him!?! Kidding. I think it was because I went to surprise Yanting with her presents, got a present for my mum, got accompanied to the museum (which I never thought I'll ever be at with a friend) and my parents got me an iPhone that's why I was happy. Am I starting to sound naggy? (x)
5. 30/06 – 06/07: WHAO. THIS IS DEFINITELY THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY YEAR. MY 20TH BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!! ♥ So much to say about this one because so many things happened. I was truly truly happy and if you wanna know why, I blogged it all out so go ahead to read this one cause I can't possibly type everything out. It's long enough to turn into another blogpost. (x)
6. 19/07: Drinking at Cuppage, this I won't say happy but it was memorable. Walking around town at 3am is definitely something I wanna do again.... that is if I can't sleep lol (x)
7. 02/08: Nerf gun! Need I say more!?!?!? I think I would e equally happy if my friends were to play block catching or something with me. lol. And omg I'm starting to get quite annoyed that almost every freaking single thing listed is somehow related to Josh. (x)
8. 25/08: Not that I was super happy or anything but hello, new milestone for Charman. Just be happy for me. Passed my driving
9. 31/08 – 05/09: Boracay trip with friends. Another highlight of this year for me. Everyday single day in Boracay, I was happy. I also felt that it was very dirty. But irrelevant. lol. I think that was one of the best days in my 2014, including my birthday. I laughed so hard every single day in Boracay, adding on the beach, the sun, the waterspouts which is my fav hobby. I wouldn't wished for it any other way. I also met 2 new friends there and we've been hanging out ever since we're back in Sg like going to zouk together and stuffs. (x)
10. 02/10: Went to have Kbbq with friends and then we played pool before I had dinner with my brother. I got no idea why I felt happy this day either. But I was laughing a lot and I was just happy me. (x)
So many things that I'm thankful for this year.
The big ones, the small ones.
They say you meet many temporary people in your life from age 17 to 21. I'm glad I only have a year more to go.
But right now, it's pretty clear who the true ones are.
This year has been nothing short of amazing. Here's to new adventures, new goals, new perspective and new friendships and more accomplisements for the next year.
I seriously can't wait to graduate. And not to forget I'm turning 21 next year (sadly).
For now, HAPPY 2015 people!!
Till then,
Xoxo
