2015 in a wrap.

First and foremost, I failed to blog back-to-back. I was half asleep upon finishing the post yesterday.

Day 365. 2015 has been a great year so far.

I strongly believe counting blessings is a great way to bid a year goodbye, and to usher in brand new year. Positive vibes eh?

When I look back now at 2015, I am thankful for:

1. TRAVEL

So lucky and blessed to have traveled a lot this year. 

Don't think I'll be able to break this record in a long time.

I am thankful, but at the same time looking forward to more destinations in the years to come.

so many places to see, so many cultures to experience, so much food to try.

2. NEW PHONE

more like parents' unconditional love. They're still using laggy Samsung phones with limited space.

I am not actually a person who changes phone to follow the trend, praying this will last me a good many years. Thankful for much better quality photos, matters a lot to someone like me who takes photos on a daily basis. And I am secretly wishing I'll be able to upgrade phones for the family once I start working.

3. COMPLETED MY DEGREE

master gave Dobby a mortar board, Dobby is a free elf!!!

Hahah, I am aware how easy it is to gain a degree nowadays, but still, it is a milestone. *pats self on back for going through 4 years of university* I am quite done with formal education, thanks to the lecturers and lovely coursemates I have met along the way. Do you believe every time you meet a new person, you leave a different person? Words cannot express how thankful I am for this entire journey and the University itself? I am a proud UM graduate!

4. FRIENDS

the fixed ones, a few of them whom I can trust my life with.

and many others whom I didn't get to take photos with. One of my regrets is never staying behind long enough to take group photos with my coursemates. I hope all these bonds will last forever. I don't even know how to begin thanking each and everyone of these awesome people. They have truly painted my life with vibrant colours.

and also these 3 since secondary school. thanks for always being there.

Being all over the world, our circles are no doubt getting bigger and moving apart. We get caught up in our individual drama(not much drama actually, we are peaceful[boring] people) and life, but I know support is always just a Whatsapp/WeChat message away. **And I think we have all grown into (quite) beautiful ladies as compared to the above photo. haha

4. THIS GUY

yeah, this guy.

For almost 4 years by now, I have been loved. Sounds cheesy, but I know it is true. I look forward to many more years, many more cheesy confessions and many more stupid fights with this dark brown , human-sized happy pill. hahahaha.

5. FAMILY

nuff said right?

steadfast love and support. Growing up in a happy family, I always thought broken families only exist in sample essays, storybooks, TV, and Moral textbooks. Of course, reality dawned upon me as I grew up. So lucky of me to be born into my family, they mean the world to me.

How did you spend your New Year's Eve?

mine was pretty well spent with my best friend over comfort food and a jug of beautiful tea.

What do I wish to achieve in 2016?

A job.

Charity.

Change in lifestyle.

I'll add more onto the list later on.

Have yourself a happy new year's eve and a blessed new year ahead!
