My reflections for 2011

2011 ended yesterday and today is the first day of a brand new year 2012. Time to do some reflections as to what i had achieved or done for past year i guess. Haha!!!

Feels like 2011 is another year of studying for me. Anyway, the highlights of it is quite the main bulk n most happening year of my poly education i guess. I started the 6-week industrial attachment in a vegetable oil company after ending my exams n poly year 2 in mid march. Meanwhile i was also in line to go to Dalian, China to start my poly year 3 which i applied for. During the short industrial attachment, i was almost going back to sch once every week to settle admin stuffs for the trip ahead which is in mid april immediately after my industrial attachment.

Anyway, got to learn lots of things in the vegetable oil company and valuable experience gained for me even though that's bad along with the good. Haha! Anyway, during that period of time, was working part time at universal studios as well. So together with my attachment, sometimes, i work for consecutive 12 to 13 days before i actually got an off day. I guess it was very tiring during that period of time but i enjoyed the part working in universal studios once every week. Working there was more of enjoyment to me than actually working. Finally, at that period of time i know what is like holding 2 jobs and how tired it can get at times. That period of time really like no life sia!! But anyway the upcoming trip in april to Dalian, China for about 2 months push me through that tough period i guess. Haha!! I still remembered counting down the days before the trip and ending my attachments during the tough period of time.

Next up is the Dalian trip from mid april to mid june. The abt 2 months of studying experience was just too valuable and no words are enough to describe the whole experience although tons of words can be used. Anyway, despite of the different things that happened in the trip, i still think it is a great trip as i got to know more of the character of some of my poly friends. As like other trips, once you are away from home for long, you tend to miss home and that felt by most of us. But in spite of that, with the friends there with u, u also feel like a big family during the 2 months there. To sum it up, it is simply a great trip without no regrets from me although i was feeling the stress from all the assignments, presentations,tests. Hooo!!!!

Anyway for the second part of 2011, from june when we came back to singapore. It was crush course for the remaining modules that we had to take along with the 3 exams. But time really flies with me finishing my year 3, sem 1 on a high in the exams from end august to 1st week of sep when the exams results came out. It was the best results i gotten in my entire poly life. I was super elated although i thought i could had done better. Haha!! After the exams, it is all about the final year project which i will not try to talk about. It is all but one word: SIAN!!! Anyway, poly education is about done for me where the year had ended with the last round of mid sem tests, now embarking on the final few months of my whole poly life something i am really looking forward in this new year.

For 2011, it's not all about school i guess. Anyway, most of the gatherings for year to conclude came from my work friends i guess. Anyway, tons of photos were taken for the entire year of gatherings i guess. 2011 marks the year where the most photos i had taken up to date for me i guess. Besides that, gatherings with my sec friends, army friends were also seen in different parts of the 2011 i guess. Friends are something i can never leave without. Haha!!! Love all my friends out there!! Hoooooo!!!!!!!!! From my birthday celebrations to each of theirs, and to all the different gatherings we had in singapore, malaysia and china. I guess it had been quite a great 2011 spent with each and everyone my friends.

Lastly and most importantly, not forgetting all my family members, it is been great year for us all as we had been meeting most of the sundays at grandma's place in 2011. The bonding that we had been great throughout the whole year. The highlight of the 2011 was the bangkok trip that we had recently. It was a first overseas trip with family members for me. It was always be as memorable in my mind. It was a great first trip with you guys. Hope for more in the upcoming year i guess. Also not forgetting my mother, end of the year, it also marks her first death anniversary since she passed on. Although so, we celebrated by praying for her and she will forever be in my heart for everything she had done for me. Love u mum!!!!!
