.. how some things have changed, and yet, how some things remain the same as ever.
As always, I have plenty of post-birthday reflections, but I'm too busy to sit down and write about them yet. So yes, photos preview for now first! :) THANK YOU EVERYONE ONCE AGAIN ♥
30/10/09: Celebrating the first few hours of the birthday at Macs WCP; 30/10/10: Minori buffet dinner with the same Bizad Club gang :)
In one year, the closest people to me in school are STILL the closest people I have in school (and maybe more). In the same one year, Kwek and I fell in love, did a 5-mth LDR, dated, broke up.. but we'll still be friends (I promise). For this whole year and more ahead, I am thankful for them being around to get me through the monstrosities of school. ♥
2009: WTF face; 2010: WTF ultimate retards
I love Crigid Bang Bang Bang! (Omg this is an ultimate fucked up name hahahaha) ♥ Still my favourite senior, my predecessor in more ways than one, still the one who understands my h**** sentiments and need to swear and my bitching partner in school. ♥ YOU CB WANG!
2009: Brunch at Rider's Cafe; 2010: Lunch at Privé :)
One year on, and NOTHING has changed. Still my favourite bunch of girlfriends, the same people who were there when I fell and got my heart broken. Wouldn't know what I would have been like if you guys weren't there! ♥
2009: BFFs at Macs; 2010: BFFs at some dessert place!
One year on, our friendship has only grown stronger, and like I have said a gazillion times before already, he is the ONE person I can't do school without. Do you realize we have the exact same smiles one year on?! Wtf.

So, it was really nice to do this short reflection on the year gone by. I'm truly one year older now, and like what Ben told me, "You can't be the little kiddo anymore." True that. In this one year, I've grown wiser and more matured (trust me, I'm not as blur as I was before), I'm alot stronger and resilient.. but in this one year, I've also become more jaded, a little less trusting, a little less idealistic, a little more bitter, a little more mellow, a little more introspective. In this one year, I faced failure in varying degrees, some more intense than others. In this one year, I experienced joy, bliss and love in the most extreme of ways, and then I fell to one of my lowest points when love failed me, and damaged me in more ways than I ever imagined it would.
In some ways, I've lost some of my magic and innocence but, I will find it back in time to come - I promise.
Till then!
