Bonjour!

Just thought of re-activating this blog on the last min of the day that I turn 22!

Have taken a break too long from blogging ever since I return from exchange almost half a year ago. Last "study" semester in NTU has been well so far.. more than well actually.. been quite relaxing since I'm only doing 2 core modules and 3 other fun electives. I'll be doing FYP next semester in hope of pulling up my GPA further. Well.. as much as I would like to... just shun qi zhi ran ba.. I cant seem to force myself into being a real workaholic as I'm born to be a procrastinator.

Turning 21 last year had been a fabulous year for me. Was lucky enough to have my bf and best friend throwing me a surprise 21st bday party and invited all my close friends from pri up to uni level. Then I was also fortunate enough to be able to spend half a year in UK for my exchange, which was something I had never dreamt that could happen. I even had the thought of giving up the opportunity as I had never been so far away from home. I'm SO glad I went ahead cuz it's definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I will never ever forget (I hope I wont cuz my memory is so bad.. tt's why I've taken tons of pic as keepsake).

Had the chance to travel to 9 countries and 24 major cities and we even met with the volcanic ashes "disaster" from Iceland's volcanic eruption. It was insane! Fun, tiring and eventful. Learnt lots of things from travelling and it got me so addicted that one of my major goal now is to earn money and travel the world. I believe it's possible! =) How I miss european's weather.

It was also my first time going on a holiday with best friend. We went to Bangkok for a shopping spree and to sightsee but we would say that the trip is more of adventurous than relaxing. LOL. Lots of ppl trying to cheat our money in BKK. We need to look fiercer next time.


This last semester in school had been wonderful.. learnt french, learnt shakuhachi and also made new friends in food chemistry lab. Can't believe this last sem passed so quickly. In fact the whole year did!

I still find it hard to believe I've become 22 years old in a blink of an eye and I'm sure time from now on will zoom past even more quickly after I start to work in a mundane job. (hopefully not!)
No fanciful celebration this year since it's admist exam preparations and more imptly..cuz I'm sick. Been down with flu and sorethroat for a few days now. Blame it on the weather I guess. But I'm just happy enough to have a nice dinner with family and BF. Thx gf for meeting me too!

This diamond necklace was a 21st bday present from mummy and it had accompanied me for one whole year! (I've never worn anything for so long) I'm finally gonna take it down today.. feels kinda odd without it ard my neck though... Anyway.. Looking forward to working life! =D
