20sixteen

Sunday, January 1, 2017

As a new year approach, we tend to look back at the things we've
been through in the 365days. Probably it's an awesome destination we've been?
or a tough experience? For me, I feel that 2016 has been great. Many ups and down,
definitely. I think 2016 has been a bullet train and I realise I'm going to be 17 next year.
Before I knew it, I'm already done with n level and got my result. I think it's
because of the long hours of being in school that kept me busy to even realise
how fast the time has past.

This year, I've watched many movies and dramas.
I felt that the best movie is still Pride & Prejudice & Zombies.
It's a really amazing movie that makes me fall in love with the author of the
original story, Jane Austen.

After watching that movie, I also watched a historical romance movie, Persuasion,

also originally written by Jane Austen. The plot really touch my heart.

As for dramas, I've watch many like the descendants of the sun, unconditionally fond.

But still, I really love Moonlight drawn by clouds. It's a korean drama that shows the

crown prince falling in love with a eunuch which disguise herself as a guy. Gosh,

this drama is like so romantic and Park Bo Gum is really handsome. And the MAIN

CATCH of this drama is that the lead actress, Kim Yoo-Jung is only 17 years old. OMG

Another drama that I really love is, 微微一小很倾城. Even though this drama is

30 episodes but I can't get enough of it. It's about this two college students that play

online role playing game and falls in love. It's really really amazing and I really don't mind

watching it over and over again because the plot of the drama is really smooth.

And the best thing is there isn't like third party in their relationship which is really a

major turn off in most of the drama.

I felt that the greatest accomplish this year is to pass every subjects in n level because

I failed math, science and dnt during prelims. I was really devastated and from then

I work really hard. I still remember sleeping for only 5 hours a day during the period.

But I'm glad, really glad that I made it through to secondary 5 to take my o level. I

know that it's gonna be harder but I know that I can do it.

We may be living in this safe country in Singapore with good security and good

government but every time when I read the news, there're so many people

dying everyday of malnutrition, terrorist attacks, genocide and natural disasters.

Like the Yazidi genocide that cause many yazidi women in Iraq to be badly treated, raped

and many killed by ISIS. It's really brokenhearted to know how horrible humans can be,

to use savage methods to achieve their goals. I really do hope that things will be better,

so much better for them. We live our life everyday without worries when

they are escaping everywhere, finding whatever to fill their stomach and looking at the sky

wondering what's there for their future. I really appreciate my life because I know

how much better my life is.

This year, I've also learnt many lessons. One of the lesson that hit me the hardest was

to learn to live in the moment. I remember going out every time and I would be

on my snapchat, looking at others snaps or snapping my life. It came to a point when

I realise that my life is really pointless. I felt that I should start living in the moment

and to cherish the time of now. So I've decided to delete my snapchat during

the last few months. I felt that my life has become more fulfilling now and I'm glad

I've made this choice :)

In 2017, I hope that I'll manage my time wisely and excels in my studies as

o level is my final gamble to get me a spot to poly. I also hope that I'll be able

to save up my $ to travel to Taiwan and China. Wishing everyone a happy new year

and I would like to share this quote that I recently came across that inspire me.

'Forever is composed of nows"

-Emily Dickinson
