Looking back, looking forward


It's funny to be blogging right now, considering the amount of piled up work that I've got, especially with Research Project tugging my brain every second. But I was scrolling through my blog posts, all the way up until 2010. That was about five years of memories I was going through.

Five years of happiness, frustrations, experiences of all sorts.

Maybe getting me to read about my past came just in time. A little inspiration to push me through this last few weeks of my semester. I used to write a lot. About a lot of things. More than just the sad, depressing posts you used to see now.

It kinda made it seemed like I grew up to be a bitter person.

Or perhaps, I've learnt to live in the moment so much that I simply have no time to pen them down.

I used to write about my day when I first started blogging. Like, a typical ordinary day. But it can turn out to be so interesting and so funny. Even the smallest things. From a joke that classmate said, or some silly acts that my classmates did, some plays we had, some performances, the list goes on.

And I deduced that I have a pretty good memory as well. I can recall my vacations and the details of it, so well. Sadly to say, I did not manage to blog about my first family vacation to Europe back in 2012, and other family vacations since then. Considering to blog about my first solo trip (solo, referring to without my family) to Lancaster, UK back in March, during my semester break. Could use a little brushing up on my language and working my brain juice on recalling the memories. But, I might ditch that idea after looking at too many words for my research project. We'll see.

Aside from that, as much as I grew up, with all the experiences, heartbreaks, downfalls I've been through for these past five years, deep beneath I'm still the same girl, really. Funnily enough, how the things I wrote five years, is similarly what I'm facing right now.

About relationships, friends, workload, leadership roles, activities, and so on so forth. I was facing all these just the same five years ago, just that now of course it's at a tougher level. But this means that, I can overcome these challenges all the same.

I had so much of determination when I was in my final year in high school, where I stopped all my social media activities up to two or three months. (okay- it wasn't that of a big deal, but I don't think I can do that now) I was so, full of optimism and energy. I have to regain that for my research project - my life and soul to get through this final year.

Oh!


And on a completely unrelated note, Bryan and I are reaching the third year mark real soon :) #woolee (he cringed at the sound of me using that for our pictures. I don't care. I love you. Hehe.)



Signing off, your little sunshine, now and forever.
