Okay, it’s just hours more before 2012 ends. And I’m proud that I survived the apocalypse? Haha, just kidding. I’m indeed proud, that it has been a great year as I’ve learnt too much from it. This really reflected that I live 2012 as if the end of the world! =)
Well, this shall be the last post of the year. I’ll try to make a complete review of it. Seriously, I have alot to flashback and review this year. It has been a challenging year and I’ve tried many new things and learnt lessons as well.
Travel!
We ( mom, brother and I ) had travelled almost the whole Penisular of Malaysia. In February, we drove up to Tapah and Taiping for Chinese New Year! It was indeed an awesome Chinese New Year as we met far relatives, and of course.. More $$.. hehe..
Then, on last week of May we went to Terengganu, Kijal with my cousins and aunt and uncle for a holiday trip! From Petaling Jaya, to Kuantan and then up to Kemaman. It was a long journey, and sunny too! Lastly, November. After my first semester STPM examinations, we planned to go South this time, to Skudai! And from there, we went straight down to Johore Bahru, stopping by Nusajaya where LEGOLAND is, and Puteri Bay, before heading all the way down to Danga Bay for lunch, and some shopping at Danga Mall. And then get a view of Singapore, and headed back up to Skudai! On our way back, we stopped by Melaka for lunch and went home! =) Fun travelling.. And of course, on and off Genting trips!
Education
YES, I chose Form 6. And many asked why. Well, why not going for government? You don’t really have to pay that much, and yet get an equal qualification which is certified worldwide? Wise? Maybe, or it should be. But, time is indeed limited. So much rush here and there. And I was only getting use to it a month or two before exam? How sad, I know. But as for now, I’m feeling anticipated and can’t wait for the next last two semester, as I know what to do, where to be and how to overcome those situations that was out of hand in the first semester. I bet most of us felt the same thing. And I’m really excited that school is starting real soon, on Wednesday! Friends believe I’m insane, but these long holidays really killed me. I can’t stand doing nothing, as if my brains can’t work well, feeling sleepy all the time. Though there’s alot I can do. But I still prefer going to school, and talk to those friends I have. Do some research, and play.. Haha, yes, I love to Play! 
Dharma
This year, I’ve finally got my family with me to join me for a buddhist way of life. I always wanted to join but it seems that too many things and excuses blocked my passage before. So, I got them to be committed alongside me with Kinrara Buddhist Metta Society ( KMBS) ! I love the environment there, so calm, and peace. And at first, I only know one of the member there, which is my classmate since I was in Form 3, my bestfriend. But now, I know approximately 60% of them in seven months, comprising mainly the youths, the sisters and brothers ( this is how we address people there) and their family members. I emceed the Parent’s Appreciation Night on 28th of July, though I was new, and on Teacher’s and Student’s Appreciation Day, I was awarded the best newcomer! I also joined a 4 days course on relationship handling on teenagers, with the main purpose on how to handle teenagers and facilitate them in activities. It was a three separate sessions course, which includes a one night stay at Subang Jaya Buddhist Association (SJBA), the centre that I nearly enrolled to at first! And then, the friendship in Buddhism grown and extends. I feel proud to know people more and to learn about life. What are the dos and don’ts, and where are my limits? I’m preparing myself to a change, a better life.
Health
Praise the Lord that all of us were in definite blessed health this year! Just some skin problems that really drifted my confidence off at times. But, I’m glad now, it’s over. I’ve overcome it with my aunt’s help. Traditional Pearl Cream is really magical! =) Flawless face? Nahh, still have to wait, but at least no more peeling and pimples are controlled! The thing that I don’t apply make up, or even if I do, I won’t apply blusher on my face. After using the Traditional Pearl Cream, my cheecks are rose red at times! Haha.. =D
Experiences
Before school re-opens in May, I was still working in the office as an Administrator Clerk. Last time was Secretary. And last month, after my examinations, I went in again and this time I learnt how to draw, being a Draughtsman. Dealing with a software, AutoCAD, for drawings, I’ve learnt some services, mainly electrical. The rules and regulations of Steet lighting, how to place lighting points and fan points in houses, how to design for CCTV circuit for home use, how to calculate suitable air-conditioning horse power for a room usage, and many more. I was also asked to continue by working for the holidays. But I turned it down as I need my holidays after all those lessons in school and office. But, my boss told me that I’m always welcomed to work whenever I’m free! And that’s how, I was offered a part time job. Cool right? Well, maybe after my STPM examinations, in November 2013 if they still need a person to draw. In conlcusion, I’ve learnt many working positions in these few years, but not being an Engineer in the office. Maybe the next one? Haha..
Interests
I’ve started on the guitar recently, and it was a present from my mom for Christmas! Feeling good with it and I’m learning it myself though, not taking any classes. I’ve stopped piano lessons. Too heavy and pushy as I felt that the academy wants (force) me to take examinations for Grade 3 next year. And the time limitations I was facing. I can’t tolerate any further and so I’ve decided to stop lessons. But it doesnt mean that I’m not playing anymore! I will make sure I have regular practices and it shouldnt be neglected. And back to my guitar, my finger tips started to harden, it’s not that painful anymore compared to the first few days of playing the guitar. It’s a good news anyways! Can’t wait to slowly explore the chords and learn the guitar techniques, strumming, picking and start to play my favourite songs! I’ve been listening to covers of Jason Chen (vocal), JunCurryAhn (violin), and SungJunHa (guitar). And I’m falling in love with it! Can’t wait to colaborate with uncle and fellow youths too when I get pro later! ^^ And I noticed that musics does a great impact on me nowadays. Ranging from waltz, to jazz, and blues or even contemporary, I just enjoy them alot!
Me =)
Hair grows, then cut, then grow again! Guessed that I was fickle minded and uncertain at times. But I can say that 2012 is another year of self-finding again. In terms of taste, style, personality and trend.
