yeap and here am I writing a summary of the whole year I've been through which also indicates how a year has also passed by in just a blink of eye. Well not exactly a blink of eye to me.
So for the first half of 2016, when I still havent entered college, I must say I'm only being productive for around less than 2 months ? Other than I was practically slacking all day err day haha. Seriously back then life was so easy, my job is to just eat and sleep and do stuffs I like and yeah the cycle goes.
So let me just illustrate the part where I'm being productive hahah cause even now I get that envious feeling on how slack I can be once with this hectic life now. So our family went to 2 countries to travel this year which is Yogyakarta, Indonesia and Beijing, China.

| Timang beach, the furthest beach we visited within Yogya and by far the prettiest one I saw in Indonesia |
To summarize everything, Yogyakrta kinda reminds me of my mum's hometown with so many beautiful uncommercialized beaches and yeah atmosphere there really reminds me of the love of going back home hahaha. Yeah about the atmosphere haha, the thing is last time when I visited my mum's hometown, they were very malay and native dialect speaking, back then I must say with me being born English ed and being enrolled into chinese schools even up till secondary school, Chinese and English was always my main language in a Malay school as there is too many Chinese around me hahaha. I do speak Malay but it was definitely very un-fluent and slow. So every single time I go back to my mum's hometown it simply makes me feel like I understand them but somehow I don't hahahha, but now when I enter university my Malay is improving a lot but somehow in Indonesia, their Malay isn't the same as us Malaysians', so it's like I've shrinked back to the mini me where I still don't understand Malay fully.

Other than that, I get to ride on a jeep which I dont remember trying unless the truck I rode in Myanmar is counted. Oh and I did something kinda funny, which is to take a 5km walk everyday since Day 1 to reach the nearest Mcd restaurant we can track from my hotel just to try its Strawberry topping ice cream yeah pretty much because Malaysia don't have hahaha well the thing about Mcd's sundae cone ice cream (other than the basic vanilla one and the flavor twist one and the chocotop one) their flavors are like seasonal and country based so yeahhhh I know I just have to try one no matter how hard it takes me. This is definitely much much better than the green tea flavoured McD one in Beijing, sorry la as green tea was never my cup of tea. yeah my love for ice cream. Of course there's a lot more other things to do in Yogyakarta than to walk 5km everyday just to buy a pink-colored ice cream la hahah but I'm too lazy to flip back my diary to type that out hahaha so yeah.

Okay so some other productive thing I did for the first half of 2016 was joining the Literature Evangelist where we sell books for 1 week plus (yeah my only part time for my 8 months of holidays). Come to think about it, it's definitely a really memorable journey together where we face many many obstacles but yeah we still made it haha. And we also get to celebrate Pastor's birthday where his birthday gift was one of the 4 handmade one, second hardest one I made this year haha I don't have the time anymore. Yeah the hardest one was actually an explosion box I made for my parents, yeah for all these years of them taking care for me, this is probably the most dedicated gift I gave them. That's all for my arts and craft updates for this year, no more mini house building hahah. And yeah I actually kinda miss the time back in secondary school when I get to make gifts every month from August to September hahaha. Yeah that was when I realize I can do arts and crafts hahah and I do miss the enthusiasm of hoping the best when giving out your 'masterpiece' as birthday gifts. Those good old days when free time was an every day thing.

Okay other than all this, the other MAJOR thing that came about in 2016 is probably me entering college haha.
College was great but obviously isn't what I expect. It's definitely a stage where it inclines more towards studying, not much fun actually hahaha. Literally my schedule becomes so pack at times I have to go to school at 8 and come back at 5 something with only 2 hours break in between. And honestly you can't just be smart in college hahaha you have to put in hard work like to spend time doing constant revision.
Okay la I shouldn't make college sounds so scary but I think because I'm taking foundation in science leading to mbbs or bpharm so maybe that's why my foundation life is a bit different compare to other foundations. There's like tests every week, only one week holiday when every semester ends and the most interesting thing is that once there's an assignment by one particular lecturer jibaboom do expect all the other subject's lecturers would give their assignments and due date of submission together yay :')
oh another thing that I'm super proud of is that I never missed the bus before yay ! Well so far la haha later suay suay late to school the next day :x
College life of course also quite fun la haha got total freedom and yeah the thing about staying in hostel and spending more time with friends. Literally many friends. Of course there is also some friends for benefits la but there is many out there who are actually friends who is worth being close with. Like sometimes they are so family, there's this one time when one of my coursemate's elder sister got leukaemia and she is in need of white blood cell for bone marrow transplant. And this coursemate actually asked us to pray for her sister or to wish her for the best. And some of them actually went to donate white blood cell for her and stuffs. And we kept on praying for her and finally days after her surgery, we received her message asking us to pray again as her sister suddenly has difficulties in breathing and is in code blue. And we did but sadly she passed away not long later, seriously idk why but I feel sad like literally I feel all teary upon hearing that news although me and my sister haven't meet each other before, but it feels like our whole batch has been with her (well mentally) and it feels so special or maybe I'm too emotional //
Other than that, I must say I actually start to like what I'm studying now hahah it's not like in secondary school I would just force myself to study and stuffs, but now which I don't know whether is it caused by college life itself or by me being more mature uiseh haha, yeah I start to love this stage of life.
\\
Ohh yeahh there's something that also happened hahha, let me leave the details of the huachi part to myself or maybe I could illustrate about it next time as yeah it would probably take up pages lmao.
Mainly involving A, the one I had a crush on however had a crush on someone else,
and B who like me but didn't confess straight forward-ly due to some reasons,
and C where initially both of us has this likeliness towards each other and we kinda click well however neither one of us took the initiative but now we remained as really close friends
I'm content with my life now though haha although the above sounds kinda complicated and sad. But yeah I can be comfortable and close around A and sometimes getting butterflies in my stomach when he thank my mum for giving birth to me and also when he chose to talk and joke around with me infront of all the others and when he even gives me relationship advices and strongly encourage me to try getting a boyfriend lmao. Yeap he's intelligent, mature, humorous, and he actually look out for me awwww, but yeah I have to be satisfied with what I have la, to be able to be this close to him (not everyone have this chance hahah) although I might not be his "the one", but yeah I won't regret.
And there's B, where we still tease each other like shit at times hahaha. Thanks for being there for me when I'm in the lowest of my 2016 life. And haha please don't make silly commitments anymore just to make me happy :) I'm sorry if I happen to ill treat you or stuffs but yeah idk but for all these while I somehow treat you as if my "elder brother", I'm sorry if it's not what you think (assuming from the words you always try to hint me with) but I must just say maybe it's all about the timing, yeah. I do hope you can be more brave in standing firm for your own rights and please don't be too tame and kind hahah.
C study buddies. That one time when you asked a question where it took me so much time to think of what to reply but I still remain it as a secret untold but I bet you've already known the answer clearly. Maybe we were just not meant to be since both of us moved on towards forgetting this and acting completely normal. But yeah still thank you la I'm glad we didn't follow what the heart leads us to then. Although you always treat me like real shit but yeah there's still some times where I can see that you are quite gentleman lurh haha and I get touched and worried at the same time, being afraid that the sky might fall any time soon lololol.
Let's just say humans are complicated.
2016 again another year of ups and downs, joy and sadness, obstacles and smooth path, love and more love. Come to think about it, I do enjoy every bit of 2016 as it brings meaning and important lessons to me. And most importantly the memories.
And I do hope 2017 would treat me as good as 2016 hahah now my main concern would definitely be what degree to pursue, to make that 1 out of 2 choice.
till next time !
