Friends closer to my heart would know that 2013 has been the most emotional and tough year for me, handling the fears of Alevel results, coping with my first breakup, accepting ZhengRong's death, adapting in a totally new environment at NUS Business and the challenge of a YEP trip to Bago for 21 days. 

it had indeed been a tough year, and some parts of me at certain point of time undeniably calls upon the mindset of giving up, but now that its time to embrace a new year, i can feel that something within myself is telling me to hold on. 

i guess my loud and hard personality gives people the first impression that i am a very strong and independent girl. but sometimes, i like to admit the fact that i am very emotional, and i think a lot. Maybe the tough times in 2013 has trained me to become a stronger and more independent girl, but there are times i just wished i was a small girl, and i could still hide under my daddy's pillow because it gets really tiring trying to put upon a strong front.

But after everything in 2013, i am really glad that i am a happy person now. At least i feel the genuine sense of happiness from my heart, instead of a reassuring fake smile just to convince everyone that i am okay. And i am really thankful for my family and friends for accepting me for who i am, and for loving me with whatever they have, so that i have the faith to accept any challenges bounded in 2014. Thank you for making me feel so fortunate and i hope that this genuine happiness within me would not be taken away from me and i will do anything i can for things to stay this way. I wont trade anyone of you even for the world. 

2013 Trip #1 (hongkong)

Hongkong is a busy yet beautiful place. 

I am fortunate enough to be able to follow my Auntie on her work trip to learn more about the hongkong culture and to shop and to eat and to have fun LOL.

2013 Trip #2 (bangkok)

My first solo trip with the girls (and many more to come hopefully! :))

Thankful enough to have fiona to be my roommate and to venture the trip with xiayin,xinru and subha (all v nice girls)

Simple 5days stayover with loads of shopping, fun, joy and love and i really miss bangkok.

2013 Trip #3 (phillipines)
Have you heard about my longest YEP trip ever to Bago City?
And have you heard about how much i fell in love with that place?
And have you heard about how much i yearn to be back?
Bhbh9 sets off to Bago City to help implement the micro enterprise for the winning school, conduct educational camps for elementary school children, be involved in feeding programs, thanksgiving, homestay,etc.
Despite returning back home for 5 days, i still have withdrawal symptoms, and i really miss the people in Bago.
Not going to go into details cause there is just too many happy memories that i wanna share (inside my personal reflections) so i am just going to let the pictures do the talking! <3



























































































now that 2013 has already ended, while we get ready for 2014, time to make up some resolutions!
till the next post! xx.
