#Looking back at 2017

Hey guys, so I think I sort of sit down and work on HTML codes and stuffs but still I'm not that expert I used to anymore... but somehow I think, to have a nicer blog template, I have to post more and do more amazing stuffs! So I think that will be one of my motivation to keep posting?

Okay. 1 more day to 2018. Can't wait because, new year, new me (that will always be said every new year comes) But truly, it's gonna be a new me. A girl with pink striking hair? having her year 2 music degree and yeah, it's gonna be exciting.

I feel that the opportunities I had this year really opens me up and it is sort of the first time I really feel great a year has ended.

I just wanna share some good memories I had:

So, first I had a kick-start of a Chinese New Year, really had a fun time in my hometown, starting my year of the 2's :)

And I finally had an ice cream cake as my birthday ever since I know there is a cake made out of ice cream! It was a small surprise from my boyfriend and still, it's a memory of mine to keep :)

Never to forget a quick getaway with my boyfriend during our sem break in Singapore! Our first time travelling overseas together and can't believe it happened this year!

Also! A balloon surprise for my beloved primary school friend, Lora, that randomly? said on her insta story, wishing she wants to have balloons on her birthday like everyone else and without hesitation, I did the planning and it was fun :)

Not to forget that this year! the choir im in my university went to Pattaya to participate in a competition and that is like the highlight of my year because WE WON THE ABSOLUTE WINNER! It was also a great trip with all the choir fellas just hanging out in Bangkok :) More to come next year!

So yeah, I went to Bangkok twice this year, and this is only me with my church uncle and aunties. The plan was my parents are going with me too but they weren't feeling well so I had to go with the uncle and aunties. Well, at least a getaway to Bangkok is still worth than nothing right hahaah

And then I made a super YOLO decision. One of the days my friend whatsapp me and say that her mom's friend is finding a hair model, which will want professionals to dye our hair for their hair seminar... so black to pink then!

And then I had saved up all my savings for my guy on his birthday, just a simple two of us kind of dinner with food he lovesssss :D

The super blessed thing happened to me too! It was an unforgettable memory I ever had because it was a really adventurous journey to get the raffle ticket and also getting picked to get a Yebra Yeezy! but of course it's my boyfriend's size hahaha (comment down below if you want me to post my story about it)

And then my lecturer also formed a band with me inside to play for Christmas gigs which is totally my dream and so honored to be this part of special group!

I finally have my MacBook Pro to do all my music stuffs, recordings, making tracks! Doing things with my creativity, using all the software that Apple only have hmmm

So because of my hair fading to orange, and thinking that I have like performances at December, I could not let my hair just go orange so I had to dye another color and tadaaaa It turns out as a striking pink when I actually told my hair stylist I just want pink hair again hahaha

So, Hong Kong is the last country I traveled this year and the best part is, my boyfriend was with me and my parents along too! So besides being love birds, I also not afraid to pick out money from my wallet? You know what I mean? ahahhhaha oops

So the last amazing thing is that I got in a show choir (already said in the last post) and really had a blast for each performances. Want to grab an honor here to say thank you to everyone who made this possible, and to my team too <3

Looking back to all these photos, really, I've changed (not only my hair) throughout the year, thick and thin, learning so many things I wished to learn, and lots of it really are blessed to me. Learning how to compose soundtracks, using a console/soundboard, know what music is all about, it's really been a year and I know there will be more!

2018, keep the positive vibes coming woohoo!

# Stepping out of comfort zone

Hey guys, so today I just wanna blog about the show choir I had at MyTown, Cheras, for the festive season?

Actually I’m part of this choir called Dithyrambic Singers, and we will December is when we will spread our Christmas spirits to all through singing... Well, they also usually have a group of show choir, which will require us to sing and dance to entertain our audiences. This year, I was chosen to be in the group and I’m really excited.

I was told at early November that I have to attend the rehearsals and trust me, I was really clueless about everything although just the excitement that I will be performing on stage at a mall hahahaha

We had dozens dozens dozens of rehearsals, because we really dont have dancer-base skills? Well, we had fun in rehearsals, that’s important haha.

So after n times of rehearsals, our first show, 16th December was wow haha I think it’s because of first time, we didn’t really get use with the microphone, and everything seems so new to us, or maybe for me hahahaha

So all 5 shows. Gone. So fast and that’s how my Christmas passed hahahah well I really had lots of fun, and most of us bond with each other, thinking of next year’s show hahaha

But seriously, doing this kind of performance, is my dream or like something I want. I had all these opportunity before but I lost them due to comfort zone. My point is, sometimes your fear really will take you down, and trust me, that is not what you want. Things that you truly want never comes easy... even on how they look like, because the process of getting it is the fun part you should enjoy it.

There goes my memorable Christmas, and I hope you guys had a great one. Stay tuned for next Christmas then hahahaha catch me if you can heheh

xoxos.

# I want to make things last

So hey guys, in one random moment, I thought of finding reviews from blogs, and that made me think that I used to blog when I was in high school, and reading them back makes me feel bittersweet. I like that feeling somehow... So I thought of just creating one that starts today, I really hope this lasts because I'm already in university and well, consistency isn't that hard right?

But sadly, I can't remember how I handle HTML code last time hahahha. I don't know how to customize my blog now so I guess it will look plain for now?

Since now I have like data everywhere and a camera phone anywhere, I think it will be much easier to blog? Well, my purposes is clear, I really think that writing a blog for me is like writing something to my future self. And that is like a memory page that reminds me all my feelings at that moment, my thoughts and just how much I can just express something at that moment?

I know now there are dozens of bloggers out there, doing so many amazing things, got sponsorship or like earn money? Well, that is not really my purpose, well if I do one day, I will just be glad that I did what I love and what I want. No regrets for sure.

You know, talking about 2017... it's really been a life-changing year, in a good way actually... but one thing is that I'm afraid I couldn't remember all of the days/ I used to have like a habit of writing dairy when I was very young, and reading it back still gives me chills, like wow I have that kind of thoughts when I was that small. It just brings back memories automatically and that is wonderful.

I realized that I could never remember every good or bad memories, I can have core memories but I still feel that the small ones are equally important too. So here am I, decided to just start my blog, without hesitation. So if you are my reader, it's just basically reading my diary? Wow what an opportunity you guys are having although I'm just a random girl living in Malaysia, studying music, loves music a lot, want to learn more and stuffs?

It's been a great year I would say... so much memories to jot down but you know what? 2018 is coming and I should not haggling my past. I really want to jot down every moment I have from now on. Anyways, if you are really loving what you're reading in the future, please tell me or give me feedback... having a blog is also thought I could make friends from any age, besides saying stuffs about my thoughts and feelings, I really want to know others too.

So.. before I really know how to like customize HTML code... which I don't know why I knew last time (maybe spending hours on the internet helps), I just insert some core memory pictures before saying goodby to 2017 hahahaha (I know it's few more days away)
