most beautiful time of the year

Pictures from Christmas which I haven't found time to post. I feel like a pathetic ex-girlfriend (but no i'm #foreveralone LOL) who can't seem to move on while everyone is already writing 'year-end reviews' and their hopes for 2012. But I guess 2011's xmas would be more blog-worthy for me as compared to the new year because the latter started to suck even before I could say '2012, Please be kind'. Someone on twitter mentioned that it's a new year but in fact, everything is still the same. And that is so true. New year or not, the same people remain in our lives; some whom we are thankful for, some not so. I think my new year sucked mainly because I chose to prioritize the wrong things/people in my life. I guess I only have myself to blame, and you bet I'm disappointed that I actually let that stupid part of me cross over to 2012 :/ 

Like each passing year, 2011 has been a year filled with ups, downs and inevitably, change. The most significant thing bout 2011 was probably my transition from poly to uni; which also means people leaving and coming into my life altogether. And amidst these hellos and goodbyes, I'm glad that I have that few special ones who decided to stay on despite the idiot I am/could become. It wasn't easy to leave the comfort zone we had in poly and fit in to the new university environment (not mentioning the crazy workload) and I forgot how many times I said I want to quit school LOL; the encouragement, laughter and company given to me by these people played a big part in getting me by. And X'mas 2011 was probably my most well-spent because I managed to see most of my lovelies :)

X'mas countdown at YX's place

Secret Santa with my favourite girls!

A packet of tissues included in my present from the no-lifer! And that's me, part disgusted, part in disbelief LOL.

Secret Santa with the FI peeps @ Delicious Cafe

Interesting main courses, but not so delicious imo.

some pretty awesome desserts (Y)

PLAY with the #foreveralone people

First day of school today and it wasn't as bad as I imagined it'd be but things are clearly going to be different  without all the friends that I'm so used to (you know who you are, i'm going to miss you all so much ;/) by my side anymore. Seems like the month-long holiday just flew by and it tires me just to think that there are hardly any holidays until the next break in April or so? (Already looking forward to it). This sem, I hope to learn from the mistakes I made in the previous one (e.g. allowing my readings to pile up LOL, but excluding whining and the occasional thought of quitting school haha) and make my own life, and hopefully my cap, a bit better. I also hope all the current arrangements would make me a more independent, capable and happy person. Academics aside, there are so many other aspects which I want to make good in 2012 but I guess I'd keep those to myself cos I don't want to be judged. Wish me luck, and may this year be a fulfilling one for all.

So, 2012 please be kind.
