When people say time flies, i have no choice but to agree because in a blink of an eye, it's already the end of Year 2011 and we are welcoming 2012, which is supposedly the end of the world as according to the Mayan calendar. Just imagine the world did not end on 21st December 2012.
On the 22nd, all the movies on 2012 will become a joke. But just in case it ends, we technically have one more year to live our lives to the fullest! So we better make full use of the 365 days in 2012, do what we always wanted to do, buy the things you always wanted to buy etc! MAI TU LIAO! LOL
It feels like yesterday i just blogged about my closure to 2010 and one year past just like that. Anyway, you can read 2010's version by clicking HERE! 2011 has been a great year with quite a number of achievements, traveling overseas etc. Without further ado, i shall now conclude 2011! (:

JANUARY
HAD YU SHENG 5 TIMES FOR CHINESE NEW YEAR!
Ok, maybe it's not that significant but still! I always look forward to CNY gatherings with friends and family, not because of the ang pow (by the way, believe it or not, i haven't even opened my ang pows for 2011!) but it's the together-ness where everyone come together and catch up! ♥
I always try to make it a point to have Yu sheng at every gathering (even though i don't take veggies!) because i simply love the feeling when we mix the Yu sheng. This year i had it 5 times! 1 at home, 1 at BFF's place, 1 at *cousins steamboat, 1 at relatives' place and 1 at JL's place :D

GOT MY FIRST BLACKBERRY, THE BB 9000!
After considerations, i decided to ditch my HTC snap which accompanied me during my BMT days and get the highly raved blackberry. I remembered it was Xiaxue who was promoting the Pros of the phone on her blog and the next thing you know, everyone is either using the iPhone, or a Blackberry! But little did i know the complications of getting a Blackberry... Well, you can read about it HERE.
FEBRUARY
GOT THE IPAD!
When Apple first launched the iPad, i told myself I MUST GET IT, but it got delayed for quite awhile because i didn't have the money to get it... I finally got it in February and i can proudly say it's definitely my BEST purchase of 2011! I have never once regret buying it because it's so handy! Everyone should totally get one! Heard the iPad 3 will be out in Feb 2012, guess who's upgrading? ;)
WENT TO HONG KONG WITH BFFS!
Hong kong is the country that i wanted to visit the most ever since i was young, mainly because of all the HK dramas, i also speak cantonese, Ocean park and what not and i FINALLY went there. I swear i felt like crying when i entered Disneyland, it was like a dream came true, kua zhang much?
MARCH
PICNIC AT MARINA BARRAGE WITH THE *COUSINS!
Thought it would be good to have another picnic at Marina Barrage with the friends i made from blogging (affectionately known as the *cousins with the asterisk, LOL) We had one picnic in 2010, and we thought we should have it again since it was fun! We definitely came a long way together, from strangers in the cyber world to real life close friends. Sometimes when i think about it, i would find it quite amazing. If we weren't bloggers, we would have never met. Love you guys, MUACKS ♥
APRIL
It's either nothing significant really happened in April or i can't seem to remember anything but well, i did blogged about another 10 things you don't know about me! From the success of the first post (Read it HERE!), i brainstormed and came up with another 10 things! If you want to know me as a person better, i would recommend you to start by reading both posts! (2nd post HERE) Gd luck! (:
GOT THE BLACKBERRY 9780!
Few months into using the BB 9000, they launched the new Blackberry 9780. So i thought it's time to upgrade to the latest model, which i'm still using now. (FYI: I'm still waiting for the latest 9900 to have the non cam version! I want the touch screen!!!) But honestly inside me, i would prefer the iPhone because of the camera and also the apps. If i'm going Uni, i'm so gonna get the iPhone!
MAY
Invited YZ, JL and Jiaqi to the RSAF Open house!
Even though i already went for it once on the first day, i thought it would be good to bring them to the RSAF open house to let them have an idea what's my job is about! It's not everyday you get to see fighter jets and helicopters parked right infront of your eyes, needless to say, TAKE OFF infront of you! It was even better than NDP! I think they enjoyed themselves as much as i did *beams* (:
JUNE
INVITED TO BE PART OF SINGAPORE SOCIAL MEDIA DAY!
It was more of a charity event organized by bloggers in singapore to raise funds for The Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund and i was invited to be part of the creative sandwich making contest segment which i have to design a sandwich with a fellow reader! I did the angry birds design, but we did not win though! (Read the post HERE!) Proud that the event was a success!
JULY
BATAM WITH BFFS! ♥
Was brainstorming on what to get for my BFFs for their birthdays so i thought why not treat them for a 2D1N trip to Batam! We get to go overseas over the weekend and i don't have to think what to get for them, killing 2 birds with 1 stone! (but honestly, that "stone" is quite expensive! Getting a present would be SO MUCH cheaper, LOL) Nevertheless, we did enjoyed ourselves over the 2 days!
AUGUST
WENT TO THE NATIONAL DAY PREVIEW WITH BFFs! ♥
The last time i went to a National Day parade was when i was Primary 5! So when Yz said that she has extra tickets, i immediately say yes and invited my 2 BFFs along! The feeling is totally different compared to watching the parade infront of your TV at home! This year's goodie bag not very good!
SEPTEMBER
WENT GENTING WITH AIR FORCE BUDDIES!
It was a VERY impromptu decision to go Genting over the weekends. We booked out on a Friday, took the coach the following night, spent the weekends there, took the coach back on Sunday morning, booked in the following night. HOW CRAZY IS THAT?! But we did had lots of fun! Entered the casino for the first time (lost 200 bucks...), took the Space shot ride (under peer pressure, LOL)
WENT TO SHINEE CONCERT!
The KPOP fever hit Singapore recently and my favourite group, SHINEE came to SG for a concert! Even though i'm not that hardcore to queue for the tickets, i bought them online (at an even much cheaper price) and went for the concert with Joyce and Clarence! IT WAS TOTALLY WORTH IT!
OCTOBER
COMMISSIONED AS AN AIR FORCE OFFICER!
After 9 months of hard work, we finally made it and marched proudly on the SAFTI MI parade square infront of our friends and family. This journey hasn't been smooth sailing but the process is something that is forever in my memory. Even though we are now posted to different places, KEEP IN TOUCH!
22nd BIRTHDAY AT MIND CAFE!
Well, did not really have the intention of celebrating it because i felt that 22nd birthday isn't that significant compared to 18th and 21st but i gathered the lucky 7 people to have dinner with me over a Mind Cafe, bought a cake for myself and had a great night with them! Honestly, I think i'm going to stop celebrating from 23rd onwards, kinda lazy to plan my own birthday also. We shall see...
PHUKET TRIP 2011!
Took 2 weeks off from work and decided to head to phuket. Blogged about the trip recently. As mentioned, Phuket wasn't on my list of countries to go, but still, i did not regret as it was a whole new experience! ESPECIALLY THE SNORKELING! It was a good getaway with good company, i had Chris, his GF plus my BFF Nurul to go with me! Came back really tanned from the outdoor activities!
HONG KONG WITH WEIFENG, HIS GF, CHRIS AND JEFFERY!
The crazy thing is, 2 days after my Phuket trip, i flew to Hong Kong for another holiday! I did not even managed to unpack my phuket luggage! Really made FULL use of my 2 weeks holiday. Thanks to Wendy who planned this trip because the guys were busy with settling our work stuff. Do look forward to my HK travelogue soon! P.s: I realised i went Hong Kong twice this year!!! I ♥ HK, LOL
NOVEMBER
ROOM REVAMP, LIKE A FINALLY!
Have been saying i want to revamp my room for the longest time but can't seem to find the time to sit down and plan properly on how i want my room to be. Money was also an issue because i wanted to change the entire room! Managed to plan out everything in November and i'm proud to say my room is ALMOST done! Might do a blog post and maybe a vlog on the revamp, in progress (:
DECEMBER
CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION AND GIFT EXCHANGES! ♥
One of my favourite month of the year because it's CHRISTMAS! It's also one of the month which i will spend most of my money getting presents for gift exchanges, but i always tell myself it's worth it because i get to meet everyone and celebrate christmas together! Gonna blog about my Christmas soon (but most likely it's gonna dragged till next year due to time constraint, oh wells :|)
Alright, this post concludes my 2011! Year 2012 is gonna be a busy year, especially at work but i still hope that i get to travel overseas more (planning for Japan during mid year!), get a girlfriend (who i hope can eventually be my wife, forward planning, LOL) and also see if my application for Uni is approve, earn more $$ and the list goes on and on... HAPPY NEW YEAR!
P.s: Do you think the world is seriously going to end on 21st December 2012?
