2015 has really been quite a ride.

So much happenings, so many events to remember.



It's the year I finally got the hang of my architectural studies, somehow.
And felt proud of my work for the very first time too.

It's the year I stepped out of my comfort zones and travelled to new places without my family.
It opened my eyes and allowed me to see holidays, and new places with a fresh pair of eyes and perspectives.

It's the year I graduated from my degree! I still can't believe it myself.
I mean, I'm done with the formal education that my parents have had me to aspire towards to since I first stumbled upon their graduation photo shoots.

It's the year I felt that I grew up mentally and emotionally by 5 years, from somewhere around 18-19 years old (which I always seemed to get stuck with).
When reality like the end of education hits you like a brick, there's no way you can run away and hide from that. You have to face it, and move forward.

It's the year I realised how much uncertainty Life can actually bring, and how much responsibility I am faced to carry as I mature more into adulthood.
One can never know what would happen next. Perhaps what I really need to learn is not to anticipate as much as I can, but to be quicker on my feet and react to situations more calmly.

It's the year I finally reconciled my past and my present.
And bring a closure to an emotional wound from ages ago.

And when I eventually caught myself hurting emotionally, and falling for someone,
I too realise that after so many years,
It's the year I was able to open up my heart, and be vulnerable once again.




2016 is gonna have an insane amount of uncertainties coming my way, that's for sure.

Yes I'm still continuing with my masters for another 8 months, but that doesn't feel the same as when you were an undergrad.

And I'm finally gonna have to go and find myself a job for real this time.

Where will I end up? What will I end up doing?
Who am I gonna meet, and who am I gonna lose?

No one knows if things will turn out fine.

But that's the thing, you see.
I won't know if it'll turn out bad either.



So, as usual, here goes, bloggie.


Here are the things I wish to achieve in 2016:

Since I've already dealt with the past,
I wish to focus on what is the present,
And stop relying so much on anticipating about the future.

Oh, and one more thing.
Stop treating Time as an obstacle, and start valuing it as a companion.

So to start it off,

Let's go, 2016!
