Got to witness God's presence when He made my coin stick onto the wall. No glue or anything else at all, just Him :-)
And I know we shouldn't base our belief in God on what we see, but as much as I don't want to say this, sometimes I just really doubt that He's there because we can't physically see or feel Him?? And so it's just really, really, really nice to just get that reminder or evidence that He's real la.
Conducting surveys for APRP-A
Photoshoot for the TP Scholars poster with the Bedok Green alumni :-)
August 2014
Got on the Director's List, which was something I never ever even thought about achieving ᕦ(◡‿◡ˇ)ᕤ
Couldn't even be top in class back in secondary school, let alone think about being in the top 10% of the Psychology cohort. Thank You.
Made a board game (that burned Jessica's poor fingers) for our Counselling Psychology group project. Even though our presentation kind of sucked balls, Fionna seemed to like our board game so yay :-)
Became an alien with Sam
Amazing Race activity with the class
And had my fav Chinese Scholar Ling Long surprise me for my birthday afterwards (with the help of Marilyn) <3
Usually 18th birthdays are given a massive celebration, and even though mine wasn't very extravagant... I'm still thankful for the people that stuck around and celebrated with me :-)
My father wasn't around in Singapore during my birthday :-( but he started counting down like 45 minutes before my birthday and stayed up till 12 midnight just to wish me :-)
Month filled with presentations after presentations
^^^ I already finished my presentation in the photo above but I like this photo hahaha. It was the day where Marilyn, Sam and I were doing our work after our lessons ended, and Hannah, Daniel and Kevin came down to find us in the midst of their lessons. And they just stayed to talk (even though they still had ongoing lessons) and we even made an impromtu decision to take a group photo, which we rarely do :-) But Princess wasn't around la, so it isn't a complete group photo.
Class photos with our tutors for that semester!!!
Ms Kek
Ms Fionna
Mr Lee
Gabby
Had our last tutorials for the semester so we took a lot of group pictures with our tutors :-)
But then again Psychology is such a small course, we ended up being taught by the same tutors again the next semester HAHA. Gabby gave us a thank you speech at our last tutorial & lecture for Sem 2.1, but in the beginning of Sem 2.2 she was like, "I said my thank you speech last semester because I didn't know we were going to see each other again this sem, but I'm still here teaching you guys" HAHAHAHA. Which is a good thing, because we're all already so comfortable with one another +++++ I love the Psych teachers A LOT.
Invited Weiling for AMP and I'm so glad I did :-)
(and now I also get to see her every 2 weeks even though we're in diff schools)
September 2014
Ended our Semestral Exams (!?@?!#??@!?#) with a class outing to Sentosa!!!!!

Despite the extremely tough semester (full of self-doubt and stress and tears)(seriously though).... I still got exceedingly well results so Thank You again, for never ever ever giving up on me :--)
Also finally had the courage to blog about one of my biggest biggest pet peeves (for lack of better word) and also something that has been bothering me (and still is) for a looong time.

November 2014 
Really impromptu decision to cut my hair short and so glad I did la!!!!!!!!!!
New year new projects new literature reviews to do....... But this one for APRP-B was probably the toughest one yet -_-. All the previous literature reviews (basically an essay backed up by a lot of research articles) I had to do, were all topics that I could at least understand / was semi-interesting / had some form of background knowledge LOL. This was a HUGE BIG QUESTION MARK and I had to start from scratch to understand the simplest things :-(
It was about cognitive theories of multimedia learning ++++ emotional design of multimedia learning, wtf even the topic name so friggin long and I probably (confirm) will look back to this post of me complaining AND LAUGH AT MY JUVENILE IMMATURE DAYS and think "wtf that's so simple why did I think it was so hard". But at that moment I swear IT WAS A DAILY STRUGGLE and I spent like more than a week everyday writing this literature review :''''''''( And for an 18 year old kid (yes kid) just starting out with Psychology, it took a lot of mental effort to do!!!!! Don't even want to think about University already lor :-(
Ok to happier things, this is me and Weiling after grocery shopping at SuperNature spending the remaining $100 shopping vouchers (that I won)
AUDIO MOB YO +++ IT WAS AFTER THE LITERATURE REVIEW SUBMISSION SO VERY APT AND CELEBRATION-WORTHY
Got nominated by Mr Lee to go for the PSC iExplore Programme with elite school students HAHA
It was honestly quite a bore lol EXCEPT FOR THE PRISON TOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oMG
Got chosen to be an Orientation Group Leader, which was something I've always wanted to do but always afraid of the commitment. But I just went for the interview this year anyway, leaving my "fate" totally up to God HAHA.

And that marks the end of my 2014!!!!!!!!!!!!
I guess the most significant change of this year was renewing my faith in God and going to church. I started this year thinking that I didn't have to go to church to be a Christian, and that I was fine where I was. But Hana's invitation to Arrow will always be something I'll be thankful for because it really rekindled (??) my faith and opened my eyes to new things. I also spoke in tongues for the first time this year and it was just an amazing experience la.
Academically wise, I really did improve and I'm so proud of what I have achieved over this past year. It wasn't easy at all, but I pulled through with the support I've had from my family and friends :-) <3333
And like everybody else, I'm SO thankful for the people that stuck around. This year I've started to take like 5 hours to reply people on average (sorry) but thank you to the friends who are still willing to talk to me :-) This year, I also learnt to just cut ties with people who just make you... Sad. Even if it's someone who has been a huge part of your life for so long, even if it's someone who really did once make you really happy. I learnt that it's really just better to move on and just be brave enough to step out of my "comfort zone".
This year I also became more open about a certain aspect of my life that I never really dared to speak up about before. It's something I still find really hard and uncomfortable to talk about, yet I don't even know if it's something I'll ever want to talk about fully. It's a huge part of who I am and as much as I (sometimes) hate it, a part of me is just glad that it's never going to go away. But I guess we'll have to see where I'm going with this in 2015 haha. Because I don't even know yet.

This year wasn't as exciting as 2013 (which was full of first's) but it was a good year (because I have a good life) nonetheless. Thank you to everyone who was involved in making my year a good (and bad) one :-)
Here's to a better year ahead!!!!!!!
