It's been a while since I'm

1. Still wide awake,
2. And have nothing to do and to worry for (the next day).

& Looking at the time now, I figured that it's best that I do my Annual Year-End Summary Post since I'm getting myself out in (quite) a bit, in the day, to have a lunch date with a few of my favourite JR (no, not Japan Railways, even though I wish. Haha!!) girls, at one of my favourite malls. Hehehe!! (:

Anyway, I digressed, not to much this time.
So here goes:

January
One glance across my Monthly Schedule for the month, it screams nothing but pure madness (which I'm sure it ensues for quite a while). And to think that I have survived such madness to actually start off the Year of 2013. *shudders*
The very first month of the year actually saw Me, [livejournal.com profile] butter_lies and Sumathi driving ourselves mad with numerous meetings and trips down to AMKTHK Hospital for our project. The project is so mad that I don't even know how to put it into words to put the ridiculousness of it all to justice. And of course, I couldn't remember a large part of it since it's so.. unpleasant. Hur.

AND of course, School didn't want to let us go so easily, especially when it's already our last semester with her. (What a horrible bitch, really) Quizzes and Tests were lined up neatly right from the start of the year, and also got us marching and stomping into labs at 8 friggin' AM (& expects us to be in full working condition. !)#*@#&$(!!)!&!*throwschef'sknifeeverywhere* ). But being awesome as we are, we cleared those horrible lab works in Bistro and got a tad too carried away (if you refer to those photos on Facebook that is.. :P ) during certain services. HEH. I luff my team la. (:
Oh, and one workshop that I wasn't prepared at all and being really awkward. But oh wells~

February
Started with the final stretch of distance that we have to cover for our Major Project. More madness ensues. The madness didn't actually end when we submitted the final version of our report. It actually makes us worry more for ourselves with the presentation that's coming up. No project ever ends with a nerve-wrecking presentation, right? Ugh.

Chinese New Year was pretty normal, and what more with me having to rush through with the poster making and I do remembering running around for it, with a flu. Oh, tell me about working under harsh conditions man. /:

My group was one of the first groups to start off THE whole presentation for that day. 9AM GUIZE.
AND WE DID IT LA OKAY. (I'm really starting to doubt if I'm the same person as I was at the start of this year man..) I AM SO DAMN PROUD OF MY GROUP AND MYSELF CAN. This madness can finally end. HA!!

March
End of February and into March saw me mugging my life away for my final and only paper for my entire three years spent in Science school.
I know I screwed the last (&very heavy in marks) portion but when it all ended, I realized that I wasn't alone. "OH FUCK IT LA. THE LAST QUESTION." You guize haven't got the slightest idea man. But all that I can ever remember and recall for that was, really, " fuck it la.". (I rest my case. Hahaha!!)

Results came in the same month, and I was so relieved when I saw that I have finally cleared everything and no longer have to report back to that place ever (well, for lectures/tutorials that is). That is also when I realized that this Temasek didn't have me have anything that gets me feel attached to, if you guize know what I mean. Unlike the other TMS, I still do think about her every now and then, to be really honest.

Besides the whole deal about school, I finally have some breather and slothed around at home for quite a while. Job-hunting started really soon for me and like any other job-hunting, it didn't come as smoothly as anyone would have thought of. Saw an job opening online for JRunway, sent in my resume without thinking too much, and with the automatically generated mail, and voila!! I got the job calling back for me in less than 3 days. Talk about efficiency and lack of manpower eh? ;D

April
Got myself working on the first day of the month. I remember trying my best to not step on landmines or kill myself in the process. Things weren't looking that great with the staff turnovers over there. Another staff and I were planning on leaving after our first month of work - it was that bad. Hahaha!!

April schedule is pretty much.. boring to look at. It's all filled with work - that my store manager was wondering why I applied for a part-time position when I clearly worklike a full-timer, and even to the extent of clocking in more hours than a full-timer. Ha.
April basically saw me trying to adapt to a new environment, getting more new faces to add into my life and finding a fellow Arashian that I know is for keeps. (:

May
Is still heavily involved with work. So much so that there's a significant decline in my postings over here and also other SNSes.

HOWEVER!!!
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, CHERYL GRADUATED IN THIS MONTH!!!
With the tallest pair of heels that I own and in the black graduation gown *happysigh~*, I have walked down the hall, received my diploma from someone that I've never seen in my entire life, and bam!! DIPLOMA HOLDER, YO!! ^ ^
(Refer to this post for more of my excitement on Graduation kay!! (: )

May also saw me running into the cinemas, alone (for the first time ever), to catch my bby on the big screen!!! ;D
(Refer to this for my bby.. I mean, Platina Data!!! ^ ^ / RYU IS SO DAMN PRECIOUS. OHMAHGAWD!!)

JUNE, JULY, AUGUST & SEPTEMBER
Saw nothing else but work for me. Sounds crazy, but it was definitely something that I honestly didn't mind since the people there, by this time, have regarded me as one of them. *beams*
Got rejected by an Uni that I applied for and made the switch earlier in the year to become a full-time staff until the next school opening. I got "confirmed" in July. Yay me!! (:

Helped out in a shoot for a store.
For the very first time I was under white background, having people to fuss around me for clothes, hair and make. Everything was so new and I felt so raw. Chinami-san was so nice with the whole thing and to me. "いい感じ~~~" was heard every now and then, for the shoot and for me. I suppose that was for me, to calm me down, and to do what I usually do for staffsnaps eh? HAHAHA!!

Got sent out to help out with the store's Expo sale. It was horrible and you guize must have read about it. Heh!! :P )

I had no choice but to rope in Pohying to help me with the preparations of my birthday that's coming up in the next month. There were many nights and offdays that I've used for my preparation of my birthday celebration. AND I cannot be more thankful for Pohying and her help that she willingly and readily extends to and for me. (": LOVE YOU LA!!

OCTOBER
IS A MONTH FILLED WITH LOTSA LOVE AND JOY!!
Not only because of my birthday, really. Fangirls all around was so happy with the lineups during this month, and you bet I was one of them.^ ^

I have also safely welcomed my 21st year of age in this month, coupled with the celebration that I've prepared.
I was actually quite worried when the caterer came slightly late and so does some of my guests. But having my family and some of my friends already there to help me out, things really got so much easier.

I really cannot thank you guize enough (for those who came) for all of your presence, presents and the balloons that I've received. m(_ _)m
LOVE YOU ALL DEEP DEEEPZ!!! ^3^

NOVEMBER
Saw me working all the way again, and this time round, spending a lot of time at the BHG store instead. =_=

DECEMBER
Had a very sudden decision, and I'm so glad that I went for it actually.
Tendered my resignation, and along side with it, I also applied for an Uni. The whole application was done within a month, a heck lot of phone calls and hell lots of emails.

It was so troublesome. Ugh.

And if you guize remember that there's something that I wanna share and mentioned about it in the previous entry, yep!! This.

I WAS ACCEPTED INTO MURDOCH UNIVERSITY ON CHRISTMAS EVE!!!
Mad happy and definitely one of the best Christmas gifts that I've ever received!!
That also meant a lot more application and more administrative procedures to be done. Trips to the school were made, and I'm just so so glad despite it meaning that I've just applied into another mode of torture. Heh.

And while the good news have arrived for me, I have to say Goodbye to my workmates.
It really has been one hella' time I've spent in a workplace, not mentioning it being the longest one that I've been with till date. ):


2013 have been one whole year filled with many ups and downs in terms of the events that were being lined up for me. Emotionally, I was sucked away by work - of which I genuinely think that it's actually a blessing for me. (:
2013 has also been a year.. full of fangirling!!! YAY ME!! v^ ^v
I have also received a tremendous amount of help and love throughout the year and I cannot be more thankful than I already am.
I have applied for things, welcomed new environments, made new friends and said my goodbyes thoroughly and properly.

I would say that 2013 have been good to me, and I know that this would not just end here.
Here's to 2014 and I know that things are gonna look up for me!!

2013年、本当に、ありがとうございます!!!
2014年も、宜しくお願いします!!! ^ ^

Tillagain!!
