so, i didn't really do a wrap-up post for 2009 so here it is. 7 days late but oh well ;p


in 2009,i started my diploma in culinary arts. it was quite a rash decision come to think of it. yeah sure, i was pretty much set on it already, but i was away for the whole month after spm ended (during which all the colleges had open days and such) so i missed out on all those. and i think it was the 1st week of january that i went to taylor's to enquire about it, and the next thing you know i signed up for it on the spot. was it meant to be that way, or was i just too impatient and made the wrong decision?


moving on, i also did my first internship in 2009. and i must say, it made me really seriously doubt my choice of studies. i was seriously THIS close to changing courses. cause i couldn't imagine if i had to work in that kinda environment for the rest of my life. 3 months and i already couldn't take anymore. that internship was a huuuuge reality check. it was my first proper job (if you could call it that) and so far from what i expected. some people there were horrible to me. they treated me like trash and took advantage of me for being so willing to do work since i was a trainee. but some of them were really nice, and really taught me valuable lessons.


i also became less naive in 2009. this was only during my internship though. haha. i learnt that you can't be nice to everyone cause it would only bring trouble to yourself. you have to know the line between when it's okay to be friendly; and when it's not. i learnt to stand up for myself and not just accept things when it clearly is not my fault. don't just let people walk all over you.


i made new friends in college :) but at the same time, i don't really keep in contact with my high school friends. it's mostly my fault too, i guess i never made the effort. i'm sorry you guys. but hopefully that will change in 2010? :)

oh, and how could i forget. i cut my hair short again. slight regrets but a change is good :)

i'm still uncertain about myself, studies-wise. don't know if i should change or just finish what i've started. sigh.

bye, world :)
