The date on my computer reads 1/1/2011. It's amazing how fast time flies. Kinda freaky too, but that's besides the point. This is my 2010 reflection post and 2011 hopes and dreams post.

In 2010, I stepped into a new class, not having any close friends, merely knowing a few as acquaintances and that's about it. Basically I was alone in the nicest possible way, but that's how everyone starts afresh right? Alone. Yeah, I needed to leave the shit that 2009 brought behind and find a new person within myself. 2010 has been unbelievably good to me. I found a new whole lot of friends. I had purposely not used 'group of friends' because although I usually hang out with a certain group of people, I had known so many other people outside of this group. Beats me how I even got included into this certain group of people but I can't thank them enough for accepting me as I am and willing to befriend me. They had made such a positive impact in my life. Hell, they'll probably never see this but I can't thank them enough for helping me so much, whether they know it or not, and I just can't put into words how much love I have for them. With their help, I became a more positive person, a more caring person, I've learned to look on the bright side of life, to smile at everything that comes my way and they made me realize that my life is not as bad as I make it out to be. Besides this certain group of people, there was also Kia Nicole Noakes. I've grown so much closer to her in 2010 and we've had so much great memories and even though she might be very extremely incorrigibly annoying sometimes (I'm so sorry I cannot help it) I couldn't have asked for a better friend to share so much laughter with and to talk about life as a whole. There are just so many people who have impacted my life in so many different ways, it's just impossible to name them all out because I would surely leave out someone. So to everyone out there that I have crossed paths with, shared a laugh or a tear or a hug or a smile with in 2010, you have changed my life in the littlest of ways, thank you x.

In 2010, I visited Italy. The most beautiful (and my most favourite by far) place I have ever set foot on, hands down. The food was heavenly, the people were lovely (the guys are mega super goodlooking omg I can't get over it), the architecture was amazing, the whole feel of it is just wonderful. Words can't do justice to what I've seen, felt and tasted there. I might also have fallen a little for someone I met there, but that's just another story for another day. I also went to Perth, Australia which was nothing much but I learnt to surf. So that's another to-do to be ticked off my non-existent (?) to-do list. Just an observation: There are so much Asians in Australia, what even. To everyone that like cute Australian guys and thinks there are shit tons in Australia, sorry to crush your dreams but you'll only find Asians there lol. I personally do not like Australian guys because I hate the Australian accent.

So I spent the last day of 2010 in church. Yes, the whole day from about 1PM till the next morning. Went there early to help Daniel with some logistics stuff. Basically blew up 1500 pink balloons with helium and tied strings to them and wrote letters on them. Apparently it was for some game to be played before doors opened. It wasn't fun blowing up 1500 balloons and knotting them up but playing with helium was more than fun. Anyone wants to get me a tank of helium for my birthday and be ridiculously stupid with me? But 1500 balloons filling the foyer was a sight to behold, really. There were pictures tied to some of the balloons too and I spotted xxx's (hehehehe happy). The countdown party this year started real late because there was a network using TCT before us so it was pretty short but it was the best CDP I've ever been too. Worship was awesome beyond words and I hate to say this but I wasn't really listening to Pastor Eugene preaching. Then it was time to countdown. I guess that few seconds didn't really matter much or did much to me but after that we were given an envelope and a special cheque designed by the church. We were supposed to write our dreams on the front of the envelope and we were supposed to address the cheque to God and make a commitment to him in 2011. My dream for 2011 was to do well in O's, get into a good polytechnic business course and pursue modeling. My commitment to God was to put him first in everything I do this year. I know that the only reason that 2010 was so exceptionally fantastic was because I had a God that could do all things. He gave me 2010 as it is without asking anything from me. It's about time I gave something back to him and I realized that I put so much of the earthly things before God so it was apt that my commitment was to always put him first and to focus on him and nothing else because when all else fails, my God still stands. So in 2011, I have two things in mind: Study hard for O's and put God first. Everything else can shoo lol.

So that's basically it, I guess. Happy new year everyone. Raise a glass to an amazing 2011 and to all good or bad we have left behind in 2010 x.
