Top 5 Highlights of 2012.

1.  18th Birthday Party/Farewell Party.
It was the day that i saw some of my best friends cry for the very first time. Speeches were made, goodbyes were said and hugs were shared. I will never forget this night. I still revisit photos on facebook on a regular basis which just make me smile.

2. Law Camp
It is at law camp where i first made my closest friends this year. I was pretty scared to go at first, but once i was there, i guess i had an urge to be social. It was at law camp where my nickname (which actually stuck for the whole year) "Justice Beaver" had begun. I truly believe that had i not gone to camp, i would not have the great friendships that i do now. (excuse the weird doo)

 3. Taiwan/HongKong Holiday
Went overseas for a few weeks with mum and sister. It was great family time after not being able to see them as much for half year! This holiday made me realise just how much i missed my family

4. 2012 Melbourne/Canberra Uni Balls.
MCCC boat cruise, MCCC Ball, ANU Law Ball and Unilodge Ball were the 4 big events which i attended this year. Each were quite different from each other but I thoroughly enjoyed all of them. I'd probably have to say that law ball was my favourite.

5. Uni events/Random Group outings.
Here is where most of my friendships began to blossom. The more events i went to, the greater my network of friends began to expand, and the closer i got with people. Looking back at all these events really does make 2012 feel like it went by in a heartbeat.

Everything that happened in 2012 is now just a memory which i can file away to look back in future years. It's now time for me to focus on 2013 and just hope that i am able to have just as much fun this year as i did last year.

Holidays in canberra

Oh god i'm so bored. Nobody is ever free when I am free, and if there is a time that we all are, it's either that people are too tired to do anything or me just getting the feeling that i'm intruding on other people's time. But this is not a rant, it's not like i can just make people have time for me, that's just narcissistic  My main issue is that i just can't find anything to fill up all this free time that i have. There;s no one to hang out with, unless i just go approach other lonely looking people and make friends. I spend all my time by myself sitting in my room watching parksnrec/30rock. SUCH A WASTE OF TIME! I'm hardly ever free from work and i never get to hang out with my friends due to our timetable clashes, so when we DO have time, i'd prefer to hang out and do something rather than sitting on my ass doing nothing. Anyway, i think im going to drive myself crazy if i dont find something to do. I was thinking to go to gym, but the gym is closed until jan 2 for the holiday period.. =='.

On a lighter, less depressing note. I've decided to pick up french next year rather than Chinese. My mother and I have agreed that, being chinese and having many years of experience in chinese school, should be enough for me to self learn and perfect later on or outside of my studies. I am surrounded by chinese people, and my whole family speaks chinese half the time to me, so it'll be easy to pick up, and i don't need a university degree to tell me i can speak it..because i can. So i've decided to pick up french and get the fundamentals down so that I can add another language to my skills. Being bilingual is so advantageous, I'm finding. At work, i get so many asian people confront me and speak mandarin, and i'm the only one in the store that can communicate with them. I am killing it in the sales with the asian community at the moment just because of this! Who knows? maybe i can get the french speaking community on my side next year aswell! haha.

I've started a list of place that i want to visit after i graduate. I'm taking a year off and going to go travelling around the world. India, sri lanka and egypt are probably my top 3 most wanted destinations at the moment. Other countries featured on my current list include, Italy, austria, and some places in china such as Beijing and Leshan.

Anyway, whilst writing this, i've decided to go for a walk around my university before it gets too dark, and hopefully friends will be awake by the time i get back. I'm off.

 I like this song!!!!!!

Summer Break!

Wow, it has been so long since i last made a post! Holidays began for me about a month ago and i'm only really finding time now to get back into blogging.

I started my holiday off by going to the coldplay concert in sydney. It was one of the most amazing nights i have ever had. The music, the lights, the confetti, the beach balls, the fireworks, the environment, the people! Words can not describe the atmosphere in the air that night. I rose my hands, waved them in the air and closed my eyes for almost every song. I actually felt like i was in para-para-paradise!

I've been back to melbourne twice within the past month! the first time was straight after coldplay, and the second time (last week) was for my sister's graduation. My sister's graduation is a moment that i will never forget. I will never forget witnessing the joy and excitement that my sister and her friends had shared completing their undergraduate degrees. It makes me even more determined to pick up my grades and make it that far to graduate myself. It would probably feel 10x as good as it was to graduate from highschool.

Here are some photos of my sister's graduation

On the second day that i was in melbourne, i decided to throw a christmas party/reunion party at my house. It was supposed to be a chance for all my friends and myself to reconnect and catch up on what's been happening over the past year. Most of my friends came, and i had a great time. I do admit that we've all sort of drifted apart from one another over this year. i know we're all thinking it, But deep down, we will always be that same group that shared many memories together.

I got back to canberra on sunday night, and i've just been working every day! My timetable is crazy from now until the new year. I'm working so much! But it doesnt fuss me all that much when i start to think about the money that i will be getting :). It also makes me feel better about the fact that we finally booked out plane tickets to the gold coast! Now all we got to do is find accomodation and buy theme park passes :) I'm so excited!

It's also that time of year where I feel like almost everyone on my facebook page has gone overseas. Everyone seems to be in hongkong again this year. I want to go back also! Next year's tour is to thailand with my family, hopefully we can squeeze in a hongkong trip aswell :).
