twentytwo

I don't know about you, but I'm feeling 22~

So I turned 22. And turns out I am fortunate kid blessed with the best people. I can't thank my classmates, friends, best friends and family enough for the the elaborated birthday celebrations. Elaborate because I have been feeling like poop for the past few days since coming back from Dubai so I wasn't planning on doing anything. These different groups of people took their time out and made me feel like a queen. Big or small, I loved them all. Especially when I got to see people I've not seen in the longest time, even though it's only for a short while. And before I forget, thanks for the love from all over the world, I can't stop grinning from all the text messages. I can hardly wait to get back home and reunite with my favourite people in Sg. 

22. I like even numbers. It makes me feel even. I'm a weird person. It feels like I just turned 21 yesterday. I'm not sure if I'm ready for 22, it's a big number. I'm one step further in adulthood yet I'm still so far from being an actual adult. I dug out my 2014 bucketlist yesterday night. I write bucketlists every year with the intention of sticking to them but they always end up getting chucked away after a few weeks. So now, on my birthday every year I dig them out to see which are the ones I achieved. And turns out, I did them all, subconsciously and with a lot of luck. Other than Halloween which failed due to the same reason as last year. Read my bucket list and you are going to think it's ridiculous but I've stopped writing cliche stuff, and replaced them with small joys. Good things come in small packages, they sure do. And yes, I'm already drafting my 2015 Bucket List. 

I had a really good year being 21. Did ridiculous things like going to Shanghai THREE TIMES, drinking way to much, taking part in weird events, getting stuck in an airport. Did yolo things like travelling to Europe alone, going to conferences, quitting my job, getting lost and finding our way back in Xi'an. Did adventurous things like travelling to 10 countries in a year and making friends from all over the world, Belgium, South Africa, America, Canada and so on. Did hearbreaking things like hurt someone too bad, hurt myself too bad. Did stupid things like study for exams few hours before the paper, confess my love to the wrong person while I was drunk. Would I relive 2014 again? Yes. The tears the laughter the joy the heartbreaks, I loved every single bit of it. But I look forward to 2015 more, because 22nd is gonna be another great year!

To an awesome year ahead! 

& happy (almost) midweek!
