Chasing Rainbows

Lets welcome the new year with a new blogskin! =)

I really hope year2008 will be a gd one, with nothng funny from the mother, just peace in the house and gd changes.

2007. I thnk it has been a gd year (gd in my terms cos there were some that were really too bitter for me to reminisces on. really), but this year went past , a little too fast.

Dec-end of Feb:- ALDO.
I had alot of fun there and being in the first line of service is nt always such a demeaning thng. I have my regular customers, very nice ladies, you know those who come in and ask for ur help to add that spark onto their outfits? Say, they have a dinner date in abt 2 days and they have finally gotten their dresses but the outfit is still incomplete without those stilettos and accessories. Helping them because they trust you. That felt really great. Not forgetting Jaclyn who was preparing for the biggest day of her life, i.e the lovely union. It was a huge hunt for the perfect pair of heels, her feet were really small and they need ot be the best pair EVER. We found a perfect pair sitting on the shelves of the Wisma outlet and I rem picking the shoes up for her and joy oh joy, 2 weeks later, she came with her wedding photos. The joy was real infectious! We were all so happy for her! Oh and dont forget how I ever handled the crazy lunch crowds, sometimes alone and the people i met there, Thank you, nita and wilson! (: It was a gd 3 months there!

The next 3 months was spent dng admin stuf at WDA. Good people there too, and it didnt felt like a temp staff there. I was part of the team.

Thank you Anne and Veron! for treating me like a daughter to you, and cheers to our lunches and conversations!

And liling and Jolyn! =) the big sisters!

The F&B and tourism department. I thnk i might try for an internship next year and we will see how it goes! Thank you ppl, I really enjoy my stay there and thank you for the little farewell party I had! =)

Results came and went. 3 years of hard work all determined onto that piece of ppr. Though the results arent that fantastic, but im grateful for that. At least it allowed me to choose between the 2 schools but the decision wasnt an easy choice. I think this is probably one of my biggest gamble in life. NUS= the comfort zone, familar ppl, even the grounds are familar(considering how near i live!) and everythng is still more established for an arts school. Alas! At the end of the day, Ichose NTU sociology.Somehow, somewhat i have already determined wad i want in my life with that route and I have to make it work. I will shape the better world for myself.

Mrs logan called us the bash street kids. oh my goodness, those days were really fun. Its difficult to pick out what photos to post cos we have so many!

my all time favourite pic!

Oh! this is the funny one! they are the problem and Mr Chen is the solution to the problem with his tough love programme! hahah!

Dari's farewell. Changes? yes? no?

ah, I missed those days!

School started in August. It was really weird picking up the momentum, since studying was never made to be a habit! haa! well, I have got to give thanks to these girls too! School is never complete without them and surprise surprise! WE have all got some decent term results! YAY! at least its a comforting way to start the school year with!

This year, I have also been spending alot of time meeting up with my bestest girlfriend!
Through goldfish eyes and eyebags! though all the smelly thngs and sweet thngs! though tears and joy! a big cheers to our friendship! I love you girl and thank you for being a part of my growing years! LOVES!

And! I have to give thanks for the boyfriend too! hhaha! This has not been an easy fairytale, its a 2 years 7 months relationship that we tried so hard to nurture. At times, i doubted, but i learnt to trust too and to believe. Thank you dear for ur patience and love! We will work hard for our little chimney oday? I love you dear =)

It hasnt been an easy year and i wish that my mum would really make life easier for my brother and I, but i thnk not. For her, my heart is probably dead. I dont know. All i want, is for her to change. For the better and not lay the grounds of illusion time and again. It hurts and I wish for her to change, for herself, for my dad, for her children, for the family.

and for me. I thank myself for being me. I think I am more independent. I learnt the value of money and what it means to spend within one's means. I think im stronger. I learnt to love.

I need to learn to trust God more and to trust in His plans for me. come 2008, I ask for a forgiving heart and more love in me. I ask for peace and contentment in me. I want to learn not to judge with eyes, but with the heart. I ask for God to keep me safe in this crazy world. I pray for my parents and yuanqing to be saved and one day, give their lives to God as well.

Lastly, I thank everyone for loving me. For their patience and concern. I know and appreciate all you have done.

In 3 more months, Im gng to be 21. Its a strange feeling. 21 is the final age barrier, you know the usual: NC16, 18 to have ur ic, 18 to club etc etc. Turning 20 was weird enough. now 21, im a legal adult. HAHA! I can even get married if I want to! bt no worries, that is not gng to be the new year surprise.

and now. I bid my goodbyes to 2007 and face the world with smile on my face. Let 2008 be a good one.
