It's not the end.

This is pretty much like what has happened throughout the whole year. I've grown up in many ways. Hit a few bumps along the road but hey, what's life without its downs too right?

Going into 2011 was a pretty rough patch for me. I was at the lowest point in my life. I was pretty much at a loss in life. I didn't know what I was doing. The experiences in 2010 hit me so hard (expression wise) that I knew at that moment I needed to get my life together. However, on the eve of New Year's, I discovered that one side of my face was becoming numb. The worst five minutes of my life was when I thought I was having a stroke. Seriously, 19 years old and I'm having a damn stroke? Turns out it wasn't a stroke (THANK GOD!). I went to the hospital and the doctor identified it as Bell's Palsy. It's a form of facial paralysis. Apparently it occurs to 20 people in a 100000 population. ARE YOU KIDDING ME. Of all things to suffer. -_- I swear, I was almost at a point of depression. The simplest things like eating, drinking and even smiling was so darn difficult. :( Anyway, after a few weeks of therapy and loads of medication, I recovered fully just in time for Chinese New Year! Yay! Then the rest of the year just flew by pretty great, I must say.

In summary, this year I:

• have learned to speak up for myself (a little more)
• actually lost about 4-5 kilos. 
• went to Singapore twice :D
• studied with more effort and achieved better results than last year.
• learned how to drive around KL without being scared
• got into my first accident (SOME BUGGER LADY RAN THE TRAFFIC LIGHT AND HIT ME)
• went to Monash Annual Ball and did my own make up which I'm quite proud of. :p
• didn't get drunk (ACHIEVEMENT)
• fell sick more than usual. (From Bell's Palsy to high fever to H Pylori to worst medication side effect to more fever to more flus). My never ending cycle of being unhealthy. Sigh
• met the sweetest and most annoying man alive. hahahaha x
• went a bit health crazy. 
• rock climbed for the first time ever!
• went to Bukit Tinggi
• visited Universal Studios! :D
• grew my hair out to the longest length that i've managed to maintain.
• went on a hunt to look for my sister's dog who went missing for a week -_-
• had my first durian buffet which made me puked. zzz
• went to Malacca.

It's been a good year filled with a lot of love and laughter. HW, my friends and family really made my year a good one :) Let's make next year even better. Hehe.
