So much for the enthusiasm. :)

Okay, this post was actually intended for the last day of 2014. However, being New Year's eve, we tend to be a little lazier than usual. Thus, I procrastinated updating my blog up until now. Take that! HIAH!

2014. I wouldn't say it was really an eventful year for me. I turned 22 in 2014. Gone to work as a tuition teacher. Enjoyed a trip to Redang with my former classmates back in Form 6. Pretty much sums up the eventful things that happened the past year.

Rather than being an eventful year, it was more of a year for self-discovery. It felt like every day and every week, there was something new to discover about myself. Like, how patient I have become (no, I am still very impatient, but much better compared to when I was younger). How much a workaholic I am. How much a perfectionist I am. There are many things that I have let go and new insights I have gained. To be honest, I can't recall much at the moment but it's deep inside me. I just have to let you guys know when I come up with another post.

The most important thing that I learned towards the end of the year is: When someone truly loves you, he or she will try his or her best for you. He or she may not succeed but it's the best they'll put in. I tried my best, the other half didn't. I felt upset in the beginning. Why could someone treat me like this. Later on, I realised, my other half didn't really feel anything at all. I was the one imprisoning myself in my own hurt and despair. On the eve of New Year, I finally let go completely. It was tough, gradually letting go throughout November up to the last day of the year.

I also removed many "contacts", especially on Facebook and my phone. It is really just the right time to remove all the clutter and mess from my life. People who don't take the effort to catch up with you don't really need to know what updates you have. As such, my life is made easier. I only see people I love and care for. Chat with those actually care for me and vice versa. 2015, may not be a very smooth sailing year. I am not going to ask 2015 to be nice to me (like some other idiots do). I am just going to grow with the challenges and see where the tides and the winds will bring me.

And those of you who know me personally, wish me luck! I am applying to go to Kyoto for a scholarship program to complete an 8-week research course under a researcher at Kyoto University. Optimistic but not putting too much hope. Let's hope all things fall into place.

Love you peeps.

  1. Good luck with Kyoto university! I'm looking at post-graduate opportunities as well but that would be after my DVM days because I really wanna graduate as soon as possible.

    Kyoto University has been my dream university, some how one way or another, not Tokyo, not Osaka, Kyoto. It's gonna be tough, but if you have what it takes man you will be fine.

    PS: gained weight like hell.

  2. Haha, well I do hope you get into Kyoto University one day, perhaps working there? :)

    If gaining weight is a sign of happiness, I reckon you gain more and more and more and more and more weight buddy. ;)
