Hello 2014!
Let me try to type a detailed post.

My first post for 2014. Can't remember why my blog name on my dashboard is "Let's pop down pills together". Hahahaha! Wtf? Am i really that emotional few years back? Glad that I'm a happier person now! 2013 had been an awesome year for me. I graduated from LASALLE, got my Bachelor Degree cert in Design Communication. Went on holidays to Bangkok, Korea and Taiwan? Meet up with friends even after we graduate, that's a promise! Not forgetting, falling sick most of the time in 2013. I also found an intern job which many designers would want to be in & i still have a hard time blending into this stressful environment. Maybe i don't have what it takes to be in this company yet? Many of them have encourage me along the way when i'm all stressed up and have always look down on myself most of the time. After a talk with my friend and my boss himself, i felt a lot of better. I know it doesn't take a week to get use to this environment but YEARS. There are also fresh graduate who were born with good design skills and eye for great design. I am definitely not under that category but i study and work hard enough to do what i like.

Oh! I also bought a bicycle in 2013. Almost forget about this! Yayyyyyy! No more pink or blue ugly bicycles that i used to have when i'm young. I have a hard time choosing what i want because i know nothing about the bicycle parts. So lucky my Brother is into fixed gear & coincidentally, my really old secondary school friend have an online fixed gear store which is widely known in Singapore.(www.cycleprojectstore.com) I then realized i have a lot of friends who ride. Hahaha! They have answered most of my questions. So i travelled to many places in Singapore to find my parts. I am quite problematic in looking for what i want. I wanna thank Andy for driving me around. At one point, we felt really tired driving around & getting nothing at the end of the day. I already felt tired just by sitting in the front passenger seat & get drive around, let alone the driver Andy :/. After 2 months of purchasing my parts, my bicycle is finally build up! Very happy with the colors combination though the handle bar should be in white :C Still considering whether to change it. Pictures later! My friends asked "What about my skate?" I don't think i'll ever neglect them. Freestyle skating was a sport that bring me lots of good memories. I have gained a lot of experiences and it also allow me to discover what i can actually do. Though i am nowhere near being a good slalomer with high end tricks but i am happy that I've got the chance to experience a few competitions in my life. I cannot even be compared to the international skaters. They are sooooooo good. I am still at the "beginner level" Hahaha! I don't go for training anymore but i still skate casually. Just changed a new set of bearings last week! :)

Last week - 28/12/13, i went kayaking with the LASALLE Gang. It's my first time so i share the same boat with Fangs. It was soooooooooooo fun & carefree to be in the middle of the reservoir but of course, it won't be the same feeling if you think about how many people have committed suicide at the reservoir. :/ Can't wait for another kayaking session with them & i am considering taking the 1 Star Kayaking course. Heeee! I am trying to type as much as i could remember. There are too many events to talk about because it's the month of DECEMBER. The most fattening month of the year all the way till Chinese New Year.

So i spend my new year eve at home with a group of friends. It was really impromptu. I can't think of what to do and i don't want to join the crowd outside. My initial idea was to order SPIZZA. I heard about their pizza reviews and it seems good but their hotline was busy and they can't take in any more orders. Ok then Dominos was busy too. Shitttt! I ended up with Canadian pizza which also took 2hrs30mins to arrive. Karylan bought 50 4 fingers crispy chicken wings over, it was sooooooo yummy! I went out to buy some beer and ciders in the afternoon to stock up my fridge. I thought there will only me the four of us (Angela, Andy, Karylan & Myself). End up my house was filled 10 people. What an impromtu party :) We just spend our time eating, watching tv & playing mahjong. I think my house is quite boring ahh? I need to buy some PS3 dancing game next time, hahaha!

I am really happy to see Val that day. She's so busy! We hardly meet up now & she miss out some of the outings because of her busy schedule :C Then the photo spamming part BEGINS. Just SPAM only. We can NEVER STOP. I think it's just us! Ok then now having a hard time to choose the nicest one. zZzz #geykiang Alright. I shall blog about my first day of 2014 in my next post. Awkward ending here ...

Happy 2014 Everyone! May your 2014 be filled with lots of joy, happiness & good health!
