2.0.1.4. Just spent some time looking through the photos in my phone. Well 80% of the photos taken in 2014 are all about my niece. My niece has been my bundle of joy ever since she came into my family. We love her so so much. It wasn't easy sending them off to the US for two years. We skyped almost every week and oh boy! she's growing up really quickly. Still waiting for a chance to visit them in the States. Well, 2014 hasn't been easy with the departure of my friends. Dear Patrick, you have always been a great person since I got to know you. You led a meaningful life, never once deterred by your illness. We are all proud of you. Dear Paul, your departure was too sudden and until now my heart cringe whenever I thought of your death. You will be missed, Paul.
等到离别才来后悔已经太迟了。所以我要更加珍惜我身边的人。 二零一五年决定要多出一些时间在朋友和家人上。一定不能再让自己后悔了。 2014 also welcomed the new addition to the Peh family! My second brother is now married. Well, besides being happy for him. Deep down, I am actually feeling quite sad that he is going to leave the house. No one is going to accompany when we stayed up late. No one is going to buy bubble tea and four fingers for me. No one is going to help me catch beetles, lizard and cockroaches.... and the list goes on. 对一个这么爱会家的女孩来说，家里的人越少，就越让人感到寂寞。 二零一五年，一个全新的开始。我要学习做一个好女儿，好女朋友，好朋友，好同事。学习包容，学习忍耐，学习知足，学习上进。 二零一五，来吧！

2013 Recap.
Back to the yearly affair. Lost the momentum of blogging but I will not forget this yearly affair. 2013 started with a bang for I joined NUS funk and rekindled my love for locking. The only regret I had in NUS was that I didn't get in touch with funk earlier. Had many fun times with the funky people at Cactus. But now as I graduated and left NUS, I felt that I have lost touch with the funk. Didn't get into the funk scene earlier enough and now I'm slowly leaving it. Thank you for all the fun times, funk.
Not to forget, 2013 was the first time I had a hangover. It was weird for I didn't drink alot. Yet, I puked at Tampines mall and slept beside the taxi stand for an hour. Thank you bf for taking care of me.
FYP then took up 90% of my time. It was nerve-wrecking and tormenting. Thank goodness for the clever and patient mentor who adopted me and guided me. If not for him, I wouldn't have done as well for my FYP.
Then it was GRAD TRIP.
Cambodia, Vietnam, Philippines.
Rejected hong kong trip with sing yee and yy cause I really really want to travel to these places. Seeing the amazing Angkor Wat, Ha Long Bay, trying new food, meeting new people, having difficulty in conveying our messages. All these different experiences made travelling so fun and fulfilling. Though I must admit that during this grad trip, there were moments where I wanted to go home so badly as my body wasn't in the best condition. Glad we continued and had an amzing time in Philippines eating balut, jollybee and pork.
Thank you my tessa, yong cong, john, kathy, daniel, yi zhong for making my grad trip so enjoyable.
Finally, it's time to throw the mortar board.
I hope I've made my parents proud. I just wanna thank my family and my friends who stood by me. Be it my primary school friends, ngee ann friends, co friends, tjc friends, work friends, nus friends. Everyone of you out there - Thank you very much.
Life is back to normal on 1st August. Officially started work and life has became mundane. Sleep. Wake up, Work. Eat. Sleep. I'm trying to think of ways to make my life more interesting.
In 2013, there's a new addition to our family. For the past 8 months, I will try my best to reach home early so that I can play with my beloved niece. Love the joy that she has brought to us. too cute!
Last but not least, I finally found the courage to chop off my hair. Now, looking at my hair length (still short), I'm amazed how short my hair was that time. Glad I tried it. Loving the short hair and surprisingly, I didn't look as fat as I thought I would.
My motto in life: Leave no regrets in life. You only live once.

是时候做个了断
Well, I have unofficially graduated.
4 years of university life is over. Well I do admit that I can't wait to graduate during the thesis-writing period but after everything had ended, it felt so surreal.
I love the feeling when you said hi-bye to random friends and acquaintances that you met along the corridor.
I love the feeling when friends met up for lunch at techno/deck.
Back to thesis-writing.
Well, it certainly made me hate my last semester of school.
Everyday, I felt the stress from fyp. To made it worst, I don't have the mentor who's in charge of the project to guide me along. I had to guess and try to reason everything myself. Until, I had someone's mentor to pick me up and guide me along. Telling me that whatever way of analysing that I had done was scientifically wrong. Really grateful to him for all his help.
of course, I have to thank all my friends, bf and family who have to constantly listen to my grumbles.
thank you.
Time to step into the working society.
I hope I can find as much joy and laughter as I had in my school days.
The uncertainty that lies in front of me is making me really uneasy.
But oh well, grad trip first.
NusFunk. Never regret joining this in my last semester.
Though everyone thought that I'm year 1.
Poster Presentation Day. From which I
indirectly found a job.
29 April 2013. Last examination in NUS.
PS: I really miss Europe.

Worst uni year. Fyp is really getting on my nerves. Never felt truly happy since Fyp. This is definitely the worst year in my uni life. home.school.home.school. what a boring holiday. what an unhappy holiday. with all the upsetting events that happened.
school hasn't even started. yet i'm feeling the fatigue as if it's the end of the semester. and it doesn't help when i'm feeling jealous over ridiculous things. oh boy. what has happened to me.

The yearly affair - 2012
2012 had been an exciting year. With too many ups and downs. 2012- the year I left home It's the year I left for a dream which I have always wanted to fulfill. Stepping into a foreign country, meeting new friends, exploring new places, experiencing many unlucky as well as happy events. Been through a depressed period but managed to pick myself back up. Really love backpacking despite us always complaining how tired we were. No words can express how much that 6 months meant to me. Thinking back, it felt like a dream. Just that, the dream lasted for 6 months. 2012- the year i fell in love. Quoting from zd "whole new set of problems amidst the fun and laughter" Can't agree more with him. But till this day I still cannot believe what has happened. Counting my blessings. (: 2012- the year i stayed over in school for academic purpose Design Project. The worst and the most stressful period in my uni life. Was so stressed that i have been feeling breathless ever since. Recovered from this illness since primary school. Now, it's back. But then again, if you ask me again, I don't know if DP or FYP is worst. Now, I shall bid goodbye to 2012, probably one of the most memorable year of my life.
Bidding farewell to my friends. Was super excited upon stepping onto the snow-land. My first time seeing snow. Now I really miss the cold and wearing my furry boots.
Meeting old friends when i'm overseas gave me the 'family' warmth. Travelling alone to London just for Mayday was a once in a lifetime experience. Thank goodness for Harry's apartment.
Travelling around Europe is the greatest reward from my SEP.
Staying together with my 482 housemate. They are so lovely and nice people. Helping us out when we have trouble with our school work, helping us to keep the apartment clean, cheering us up when we are down. Glad to have moved to Michiel de Ruyterweg and being housemates with them.
The best beer I have ever drank in my life, considering that I'm not a beer fanatic
My first time skiing. Looking pro. But in fact I fell down 124871673 times. Skydiving! Something which I have always been wanting to try. Was so unlucky during that period of time that I actually thought I might die. Especially so when Caroline parachute got tangled. The adrenaline was so simply amazing.
Back from Singapore. Met up with friends. Took part in my 4th ICCS. Doing my part to clean the environment. 1010 anniversary. and the 3rd nike run!
Our spot for DP where we camped for the night.
I love Delft and I really miss Delft.
I miss Tromso and I really do.
I think this photo is beautiful. Blue sky, white snow and happy us. Thank you 2012, you have been amazing.
