2016

2016

Apparently, people had been making a huge deal out of New Year,

and stuff. So, I am here, following the trend.

hmm, it was one hell of a year, don't you think so? As you know,

feeling aren't always the same. There are ups and down. 2016 in 

a word, I would describe it as challenging, very. I opened up a 

lot in that very year. I wanted to live a more positive life and I 

didn't really achieve that, instead I think I got more negative ha ha. 

First of all, I entered degree, which felt like 2015. 2016 felt really

long! First semester of degree wasn't that fun. I had a lot of problems

with human. I think I am allergic to most of them (I'm joking, haha, not)

I don't really remember my first semester, all I remembered was I did 

a lot of research. That time, I wasn't aware of the nature of my course.

I think I finally realized it now. A little too late but that's life, right?

One good thing maybe for the first half of 2016, I fell in love with 

Panic! at the Disco. I mean I was already a fan but never really

indulged myself into them. And The Neighbourhood as well.

Panic! featuring dirty mirror, 

Of course, I fought with a lot of humans along the way. Emotionally

drained, not so physically until my second semester of course. But, 

after one semester, I led a stagnant life, although I was having my

3 months holiday that time but I was just, I felt a little numb (maybe a

lot). I didn't feel like waking up everyday. I woke up really late, only

waking up when my mum started to get angry (sorry, ma). I was like 

that for probably one month and a half, close to two months. 

When I had only one month left for having fun before the semester started, 

I took two cats in, Oku and Snow but Oku ran away. I was living at that 

time. I have cats, I was on top of the world. At the same time, I joined

a programmed, I was half-forced to join but in the end I was so glad

I joined the program, it was WHIZKIDS, where I volunteered to teach 

kids. It was really tiring considering I had to make extra effort for children

(I don't like children) but it was satisfying in the end. Very satisfying. 

There, the back of my kids and half a face of one of them. It was

challenging but God, it was so worth it. I met a lot of volunteers

as well. 

When the holiday ended, I was already tired. I hoped not to see research

as frequent as the first semester. My wished was granted but I was put to 

more test. In the second semester, we had a lot of program, or events to

handle. More of managing skills instead of research skills. Although I

did have one research paper to write *roll eyes*. 

The major events (not really events) we handled was story telling

to children. My course mates proposed orphanage, and we went to

one near Gombak. 

That was one of the kids, 5 years old that I dealt with. It was really

challenging, no kidding. I was telling him to colour the picture with

other colours but he screamed at my ear. He was actually on my lap,

spitting his saliva on me but he was adorable, still (I think). The story 

telling session was a disaster, obviously. Why would kids even listen to

us in the first place?

The other event that we had was the Faculty festival, it was our

faculty's first time having a festival. KLM fest which was probably

enjoyed by the faculty's students only since no one would really

want to climb up the hill. As a class project, we had to come up

with a traditional games from other countries.

So, I drew the kendama and wrote the awkwardly written "kendama".

Thank God our booth was flooded by humans. I think people liked us 

hehe. During this festival also, we had to do second round of story 

telling and it was another disaster. 

I had a lot of problems with humans the second semester, more than 

the first semester but bleh. Anyways, apart from the hectic life,

I joined two programs in my second semester (I am still in my second 

semester, honestly). I was hoping I can quench my thirst for the same

feeling Whizkids had given me. One of it was Art in the Hearts. 

I don't really know what was the program all about but I was in the

Special Task team and my team and I made the backdrop. It wasn't 

impressive but with the time given and all the things not according

to plan, it was okay, I think. 

It looked a bit kiddish, now that I am seeing it again.

Anyways, joining a lot of programs also means that a lot of money 

flowing out. I mostly eat like this (refer to pictures below) due to

getting over budget or because I am too lazy to go to the cafe. 

Some days (maybe most days) I eat like this because I eat at odd 

hours. Hence, instant everything.

The second program I joined is till ongoing right now. It's a month

program where the Koreans from a university come to my university

for an English camp. My position is not high, just normal facilitator

but I was having a lot of fun so far! I went touring KL and Putrajaya

with them. 

So, in 2016. I definitely met a lot of new friends and 

probably know who's my real friends, whom I can

really rely on. 

I walked a lot in 2016 due the activities I had (but I am still

not losing any kilos)

I get to see how sweet graduation can be which fueled me

to graduate as soon as I can. I learnt how small moments

can be so meaningful. I learnt why some things existed, for

a reason. 

Too much socializing, I definitely need a break.

I have not been eating right since last year, I gotta treat myself with good food! 

(sorry, got to make that joke)

It's not even funny. Gosh

Sorry, I can be lame sometimes but most of the time,

I am cool.

So, it's 2017 and I don't feel any difference but since everyone is 

saying this, I don't want to miss the boat as well

 'I am looking forward what 2017 is offering'. 

How was your 2016?
