making-sweetness 1 LOONG post to end the year with! =D
Saturday, January 1, 2011 making-sweetness Back to the top

FINALLY. DONE WITH THE PBL, so I can blog as my reward now! And a long long post at that, with the 1st part about addy's visit & the 2nd part about this year? Yeah...that sounds like a good plan (the next pbl can totally wait till tomorrow. or go do itself.) though that means I start writing in 2010 and finish in 2011! HOW 'HAPPENING' MY LIFE IS: I BLOG TO USHER IN THE NEW YEAR. Seriously sad case siah... At least I know I'll be watching tv with my family and celebrating the NEXT new year 8hours earlier than this one. =D

Anywayssss.....I shall stop digressing now! It's 2011 liaooooooo!!!! AND I COULD SEE FIREWORKS FROM WHERE I AM! ^^ *happy happy* (even if it's other people's backyard firework parade i'm watching....it's good enough!)

Back to Addy's wee visit! =D It was just a couple of days over the 1st weekend of holiday, but they were pretty meaningful days spent chilling together! Although her train was kinda delayed and the weather was very crappy on saturday, we still managed to chill over dimsum, walk around city centre & watch a pantomime/play together! Yeps...watched Beauty & the Beast with alf & dav...and it was quite a fun watch! Just...leave your brains and logic at the door. XP I do love how the ending is not the Disney ''everyone became beautiful and lived happily ever after'' type of ending. This ending was much more in line with the theme of the show...AND DID I MENTION HOW AWESOME THEIR USE OF THE REVOLVING STAGE WAS?

Had supper afterwards...with typical Glaswegian kind of artery-clogging FRIED MARS BARS!


Sunday was meaningfully spent in church with the Christmas outreach gathering & baptismal service. ^^ Ok..I admit, we went to the Gallery of Modern Art in the morning instead, just to have a good look around. But twas fun and meaningful just reflecting on the significance of Christmas and all in church. And yep, I kinda dragged addy to prepare my veggie dish with me :p hehehehe...

Then...Monday was spent walking around west end. A kind of circle from uni to kelvingrove museum to morrisons and then back home again!! Oooo..my 1st time in hunterian museum & my 3rd time in kelvingrove museum ^^. Yeahh...I just realised that glasgow doesn't offer much by the way of tourist attractions, especially if you're cheapskate & do not have a car. HAHAHA. But it was fun anyway, and the streets were blanketed with white snow, making the place seem purer than usual =D And definitely more desolate (esp with everyone hiding in their homes, away from the cold).

Ooooo...then it was time for some SERIOUS BAKING at home! 5 baked goods within 6hours plus dinner. O.O WE OFFICIALLY RAWK! I half annoyed addy with my 'amazing discovery' of the hidden cake tin & pie dish though...OOPS! teehee...they were hidden in the deep recesses of the bottom cabinet, anyone could have forgotten their existence! *Jane continues to attempt arguing her way out of this mess* We made apple pie, cookies, banana cake, strawberry cheesecake & lemon drizzle cake in that order...all very yummy!!!! heh. Was a chore to carry it down to lincoln though. :P I love cheescake soooo...I thought the cheesecake was the nicest! (even if it barely survived the journey down south. *ouch*) mmmmm....looks nice right! :9Both of us left glasgow the next day though...1 long long day with lots of snow related rail problems. Heh...at least I'm down here at my aunt's place in 1 piece, nice, warm and fed! (And slightly more productive than last year =D)

~~

Now on to part 2 of this post! Heh....(Jane's annual tradition to write) Random reflections on the year! To be absolutely truthful, 2010 was abit of a blur with no single memory popping out and yelling at me to write it down. Not too sure if this is a combination of too much (last minute) work to do in school, too many dramas watched, too happening life or age catching up on me. Hahahaha...just joking about the last reason!! =D

What I do know is that I could have done better in so many ways in 2010...like be more hardworking, watch less shows, revise more, stop procrastinating, be closer to God...the list could go on forever. So...these are probably the lessons I'll take into the new year. Well...I've already watched less shows than last academic year and I'm a wee bit more hardworking now. Hehe...as for my walk with God...it could always be better, but I'm glad to be more involved in church now! =D

As for things I would like to change about 2010....I don't know, maybe study abit more? Hahaha...that and to stop obssessing over the most RANDOM things. And I'm not just talking about my kpop cuties and asian dramas. Hahaha...don't think I'll change much lah. Twas a pretty good year by my standards. I've finally put away whatever made me an emo-kid for the longest time, got more interested in what I'm studying (interested enough to not watch dramas and actually do more work anyways), achieved a good enough work-play balance and basically feel content with where God has put me. It's quite a good feeling...just knowing that I'm in safe hands and that I couldn't have asked for better stuff. Ohhhh...and I saw kpop stars LIVE. hahah...yes yes, you can DIAOOOOOO me now.

Hmmm...so what did I do? Basically made a couple of good strong friendships here (and mugged. and played) till june....then went back for summer holidays! Glad that I could maintain my friendships back home lah.....even though I couldn't really maintain my areas of service in church. What could I have done in those 3 months home anyway....errr...just help my ex-grp leader's group out with the cooking for family night! teehee. Andddd....it was back here to my new flat (LOVE IT) with a new flatmate (who is an absolute dear =D) and a new acadamic year (Love what I'm studying but wishing I had much more time & less peripheral activity). Ohhh...and though being in singsoc was a massively fun learning experience, I'm more than happy to pass on the baton to the juniors. 2nd year is....hard. honest.

ohhhh...and as for 2011....May it be one full of good surprises! Not like I know what the future holds; I'm just trusting that God will make it a great one XD

*phew* that was a really REALLY long post...time to sleep now!
