We have made it guys! we have survived 366 days of 2016 and now we have entered the year 2017! Oh my, how time has passed so quickly and I do hope you had an awesome 2016! I kinda have mixed feelings about 2016 as I had a wheel of a time travelling but also experienced the worst parts of it with proof of one or two or maybe three blog posts rants about I how was just feeling super depressed and down!
Allow me to review my year in 2016 and maybe some of you guys can relate whilst some of you guys can sit back and grab a popcorn and enjoy this "epic" movie drama!
In the year 2016, I have been to at least 3 countries, finished my national service, officially entered adulthood as I celebrate my epic 21st birthday and also made new friends and had a rocky relationship!
First off, on 25 March 2016, I took a step into adulthood and celebrated the most epic birthday party of my life as I celebrated my 21st birthday! I had the best time of my life as I had my army friends stayed over with me on 23 March in a chalet and we partied until the wee hours of the morning. On 24 March 2016, I hosted my party and invited all my family and friends over and the chalet was packed with all my loved ones at that very moment of 2016 I felt I was so blessed and overjoyed to be surrounded with the people I loved and loved me back (I have blogged about my 21st birthday).
The next milestone of my 2016 was my ORD day which is the day I became free of national service and out of the army life and hello civilian life again (I did blog about my freedom). It was so epic as the day was filled with tears of joy and sadness. Joy because I am finally done with national service and sadness because I have made the coolest bunch of friends I never imagine I would make! They are the ones you see every day when you go into camp and share the same pain and gossip. Though my national service life may sometimes be tough but with friends like them, they'll help you pull through it and made everyday worth coming!
In 2016, I have travelled to Krabi, Thailand with my secondary school mates (My Krabi Blogpost). I have also made a short trip to Malaysia with my relatives and the most epic and awesome trip would be the Australia trip with one of my national service mate! In 2016 I did solemnly tell myself to be more adventurous and travel more and I am so proud of myself that I managed to do that!
Now for the ugly parts of 2016 which made me felt that maybe 2016 is a bad year for me! I have my heart broken which I blogged about it (which I do not wish to elaborate further here) and had troubles with my school, which I have quit. I was so depressed about life and questioned myself what will be my next step in life and what should I do. I never had that problem as I did not have any trouble enrolling in a school and for the very first time, I felt lost and directionless. I am the type of person that needs a plan and loves planning everything out and see through my plans. However, in 2016 I was basically just lost and have no clue what to do next.
2016 has indeed been a roller coaster ride for me, and I do not dare say that I am ready for 2017 but I am intrigued what it has planned for me after the epic ride of 2016! My goal for this year is that I hope to finally find a direction in my life as I walk through 2017 and finally get enrolled in a university of my goal and the course I wish. I also will want to travel more again. I hope to better relationships (friends, family and even in the love aspects), love a little less hard, be more spontaneous and ultimately find joy and happiness in whatever I do.
2016 it has indeed been epic and I realised I used the word epic a lot in this pots but it was indeed epic and there's no other word to describe it!
2017 I welcome you and please be nice:)
