BEGIN 2016 RIGHT

Happy new year!!! I had a wonderful time ushering in the new year with my family. My siblings and I ate KFC cause our parents went out with their friends but not complaining! We all love fast food :P We then watched the countdown show and went to sleep hahaha. Lots of my friends were partying as evident on their snapchat but that's not my kind of thing now hahah. I know how in earlier posts, I have said I liked clubbing and proclaimed it to be Singapore's most exciting night time activity, but I think I phased out. I have only clubbed once last semester with Charis and Sam and that's it. Hahah I am getting slowly irritated by the loud music, glaring rays and I never really liked alcohol anyway :)

Kind of glad I am over the clubbing phase, in fact! Sleep > Club for me now heheh. 

So anyway! Spent the evening of New Year's Day eating steamboat/BBQ with a family friend and my family at our rooftop and it was delicious!! ^^

Second day of the New Year now and it's 7:05am. Going to Pandan Reservoir for Canoe Polo Training :( why so earlyyy, seriously not liking the early timing of Saturday trainings! The next competition is on the 9th and even though I am excited for it, I am also quite scared because I don't think my team is ready for it. Oh wells, just do my best first!! 

So another exciting news (for me) is that I recently caught the reading bug! I hate reading books in the past but I am onto my second book this week already! Is it new year new beginnings??? Hahah but I really want to recommend this book called In Order To Live by Yeonmi Park. It's an autobiography about a North Korean Girl escaping North Korea, but landed in the hands of human traffickers, and talks about her difficult path to freedom. It's very inspirational and offers me a different perspective on life. I finished the book within a day, and I don't think a book has ever impacted me this much. 

Met Winnie and Faith recently to catch up and we ate creamier!! Yay to ice cream ^^

Oh! And also celebrated Christmas at my place with my favorite girl pals :> Thankful for them.

The new school semester is beginning in 9 days and I am already dreading the exams hahah. Last semester's exams really scarred me Sianz. Not that I am afraid of the paper, but the amount of preparation that goes into it just pisses me off HAHAH. Oh well, I am just going to pray hard and do everything through God's strength! :) 

I wish all my friends a fantastic 2016! May your 2016 be a year of growth and fun times :> 

Love,
