2014 has been a crazy year. full of ups and downs. although the number of ups is definitely more than the number of downs haha.
i started off this year being an akb fan, and also ending this year being one. my first full year as an akb fan.
i ended off 2013 with Jeanette, and will be doing so this year as well ^^
like last year, i'll do a short recap of every month. and to refresh my memory as well.
let's see.
January 2014
ahh. o level results HAHAHA. surprisingly i wasn't nervous when collecting them! although the results were kind of disappointing: both my emaths and amaths scored A2 when i've always gotten A1 and my chem, physics & english failed to meet my expectations. but i improved 4-5 grades for humans so..
but still, the points i had was enough for me to get into my first choice: financial informatics. yay
also started a new job in January. a job that i'll never ever forget, not because it's fun/good, but because it was the worst job ever. Crocs.
i won't be talking about my time there. but i'll never ever return.
by the way, i only worked less than a month there. i couldn't bear with everything there any longer.
February 2014
hmmmmm. oh yes.
i started a new job again. HAHAHAHA. at breadtalk. and it's one of the best non-office job i ever did. (okay well the only non-office jobs i had were Crocs & Breadtalk HAHA). the people there are pretty nice, or at least not as terrible as those in my previous two jobs. i had a hard time communicating with my colleagues there though, because they speak chinese mainly and my chinese.. hahahahaha not even gonna talk about it.
but a pretty nice job overall. i was able to man the cashier, which was my childhood dream HAHA. although many things happened, i learnt a lot there so yeah.
what else happened..
nothing much i guess..
March 2014
damn it, what happened in early 2014?!?!
hmmmmmm.
oh. i went for sp's biz school camp towards the end of march. it was.. to be honest, disappointing. didn't make much friends there. the people in the group i'm assigned to were really hyper/popular-type, and they liked playing games. unlike me. i hate playing these type of games where you had to do stupid forfeits. it's probably fun for them though. but not for me.
when we were travelling around sg (for amazing race or some sort), my group was busy playing games the entire time. i just wanted to sit and rest on mrt/buses, not stand up and play games i'm not even interested in..
when we were having free time after breakfast, my group was busy playing games once again. c'mon i just wanted to have a rest after breakfast since i just woke up.. not get stressed over playing games that'll result in me having to do crazy forfeits..
on the last night of the camp, my group was busy playing games that they decided not to sleep. seriously? i didn't sleep well the night before, and i spent the entire day travelling around singapore, and now the entire group isn't sleeping? i ended up dragging a friend from another group to the bunk with me.
yeah it wasn't a fun camp.
April 2014
april. the month school started.
met Jeanette this month i think! through a roadshow for World at Your Feet. jeanette is the best, as always ^^
also went to our long-promised punggol trip with mx hahahaha. had fun plucking meat off the whole chicken we bought from fairprice.
school-wise, there wasn't much for me to adapt. yes, it's a lot more different than secondary school, but on a whole it was pretty manageable and things just flowed naturally for me.
there was also star awards this month. jeanette was the 'big winner' in show 1, but sadly, she didn't clinch best actress (once again). yes i was sad, but like i said, what Jeanette said to us afterwards lifted my mood up a lot and i'm really happy for the affirmation she has received from many people. she portrayed zhao feier really well, and i'm really happy & proud for her.
May 2014
oh.. that incident happened to Kawaei & Annin..
damn it.
i've never said this anywhere before, but i can't help but think of it constantly.
on the day of the incident, i was busy studying for exams/doing homework outside. i really gave my all that day. i'd usually end up using my phone every 10 mins or so, but i actually refrained myself from using it for hours. i forced myself to finish all the homework. and i did. i was so proud of myself when i finished everything without falling into the temptation of using phone.
i went to twitter afterwards, scrolling with a carefree mind because i've completed all assignments that were due. and..
bad news awaited me..
i was so shaken afterwards that i couldn't sleep well for nights..
yes. i was actually afraid. i don't know why either. i became scared of the dark for a couple of days. (i was actually scared of the dark as a kid, but grew out of the fear)
lol.
but i'm okay now.
June 2014
many things happened in this month.
firstly, sousenkyo. also met fellow akb fans and went to watch ssk with them at a chalet. a pretty fun experience, because for once, i wasn't alone in spazzing!
also found out there were many mayu oshis present on that chalet day. and while there are also many other non-mayu oshis, somehow, the feeling i had was that all, if not the majority of us, were actually supporting mayu to get #1. even among the non-mayu oshis. and that made me feel warm at heart.
and yes, mayu won #1. 7 June will be one of my best days in 2014, and it believe it's the best day ever for mayu.
(and here's my blog post regarding ssk: http://b-elletagy.blogspot.sg/2014/06/akb486.html)
won't be talking about it anymore because everything is in that blog post.
also, i went to my favourite country for the 1st time ever. Japan.
i know i've said it many times before, but i actually started liking japan ever since i was a kid. like there was some sort of a special connection between me & japanese things.
it was supposed to be a trip to see mayu & other members. but due to that incident, it was cancelled, and i had to do an emergency change of plan for the trip to become a sightseeing one. haha. yes i planned the itinerary for my family.
and here's my blog post regarding the japan trip: http://b-elletagy.blogspot.sg/2014/07/japan-trip.html
also, yuko graduated this month. my first ever 'big' graduation since i became a fan. it was.. insane. i can't help but think what'll happen if mayu grads..
July 2014
lol i don't even remember what happened this month.
August 2014
i don't remember this month either.
oh.
i had my first ever end of sem exams this month.
but that sums it up i guess.
September 2014
holidays. 6 weeks of holidays. finally.
went to work at Tangs, under finance department. a pretty relaxing job because it's in the office, and my job scope was pretty simple. in fact, it was too simple that it bored me..
but overall the best job i ever had!!!!!
the people there are really really nice, and unlike my previous office job, they actually allowed me & mx to go for lunch together, and let us choose between the 12-1 or 1-2 slot for lunch. they didn't restrict us in any way.
and there was a huge hawker centre just beside the office so i pretty much had a good time there. although fighting for seats with other office people wasn't fun lol. food was pretty good, and i'll never forget the tom yam i had there.
October 2014
i turned 17!
other than that..
oh hahahahahahhahah. mayu's instagram 'scandal'. HAHAHAHAHA
looking back on it, it was actually really amusing. i actually went to google about the 'scandal' to read all about it again a few days ago. i had a good time.
and now things died down. so much that i actually forgot this entire thing happened. then how did i recall it? hahaahaha. a few days ago, when i was searching for mayu photos to purchase, i typed in 渡辺麻友 and was waiting for 生写真 to come up as a suggestion because i was too lazy to type that HAHAHAH. and instead of 生写真 appearing, インスタ (insta) appeared instead. that was how i actually remembered HAHAH.
but yes, i totally forgot about the entire thing and it doesn't even bother me a single bit now HAHAHAHA.
(by the way, the news site said they still had more pics to come. but they never published them. aww)
oh, school re-opened. with a very crappy sem 2 timetable. 3 days of 8am classes, 2 days of 9am classes. sucks for those not living in the west (me) who have to travel for more than 1 hour to reach school. i have to wake up at 6am (well it was supposed to be about 5:50am but i ended up oversleeping so 6am) for 8am classes and 7am for 9am classes.
i ended up becoming so tired that i started being late for almost every single day as the semester progressed. i skipped many lessons as well. one of the most skipped lesson was econs on tuesday, at 8am lol. i was really worried for my econs paper HAHA
November 2014
yay. met jeanette once again!!!! a roadshow for tumultuous times now.
also got an individual shot with her.
i look bad in this photo as usual.
and jeanette baked cakes for us!!!!!!! thank you so much jeanette :')
best idol ever.
i'm seriously seriously so thankful & grateful for everything jeanette does for us. when i wasn't an active jeanius member, i'd see posts of jeanette giving jeaniuses food while they were queuing up to get a good spot for events like star awards, jeanette buying ice creams for jeaniuses when they visited her on her filming locations, and stuffs like that. when i finally became active, i got to feel her kindness when, for example, i got to eat her handmade tiramisu or cakes. but of course, it's not all about food.
whenever she had the chance to speak, she'll always be thinking of jeanius. star awards, she'll obviously mention jeanius. and it'd be the first thing she started her speech with. thanking us jeaniuses. on other non-star awards occasions, she did mention jeanius occasionally. not all the time, but understandable since most of her other events were to promote dramas and stuffs, involving other co-stars.
and i'll never forget what she said: no matter how far we jeaniuses are located at, she'll always be able to spot us. even if we are sitting right at the back.
she's always caring for us, making sure we do not sacrifice our health for her sake, always thankful for our support, always reciprocating our love for her even though she's so busy.
not only her fans, she treats her fellow co-stars really nicely. this christmas, she baked xx number of cakes for many people. people like her personal assistant, her co-stars, other production people, etc. and she really takes care of her juniors, always giving them advice on various scenes. i've been hearing her juniors sharing about how well jeanette treated them for years now.
December 2014
hhehehehehehehehheheehehehe
december is the best month ever
even thinking about it now makes me squeal
at night
hehehehehehehehe
i met mayu!!!!!!
i met mayu. omg
ok i won't talk about this subject again if not i'll just babble on non-stop so pls read my blog posts
2shot event: http://b-elletagy.blogspot.sg/2014/12/20141214.html
handshake event: http://b-elletagy.blogspot.sg/2014/12/20141223.html
ahhhhhh. december is a nice month indeeeeeeeed.
ok. so i had tests this month. and i was really afraid because i haven't been paying much attention in school. i skipped many lessons due to me oversleeping, and when i attended them, i was using my phone instead of listening. for some reason my attention span was really bad this sem. especially during fom lectures. i don't even know what i'm learning in fom. i'm pretty screwed for fom test this coming term. and i didn't do my tutorials almost everyday because the moment i reach home, i'd be so tired to do anything.
by the way, this is my horrible timetable.
mon: 9am-5pm
tue: 8am-5pm
wed: 8am-3pm + cca from 5pm-7pm
thurs: 9am-11am (ok this day is my lifesaver seriously. but i'd end up napping my afternoon away. so it becomes unproductive again)
fri: 8am-4pm
seeing how i take more than an hour to reach school, this is the time i spend outside..
mon: 7:50am-6pm+
tue: 6:50am-6pm+
wed: 6:50am-8pm+
thurs: 7:50am-12pm+
fri: 6:50am-5pm+
i'm seriously so exhausted. seriously.
back to topic, i was really scared for tests because well i wasn't paying attention. i ended up having to self-study 80% of all 4 modules within 2-3 days. 7 weeks worth of content in 2-3 days.
but it went pretty smoothly in the end. i could do my papers rather smoothly. or maybe it was smooth because i crapped most of my answers so that i didn't have blanks, but anyway it's over and i had my japan trip & mayu waiting for me after tests so i won't care about it anymore. still not caring about it now.
we'll see when i get back my papers when school re-opens HAHA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and now, i'll do some new year resolutions.
i don't do new year resolutions. it's my first time doing them.
but i'm pretty determined on making 2015 a year i won't regret.
1. ATTEND SCHOOL ON TIME (!!!!!!!!!!!!)
i won't let myself struggle anymore. i seriously need to attend as many lessons as i can.
2. Have the motivation to complete tutorials
i can't repeat the same mistake i did last term. because i didn't do tutorials, i ended up not understanding anything and i struggled really badly towards the end of the term.
3. Focus on group assignments & projects
something i'll seriously need to work on. there's many projects/assignments awaiting me once school reopens.
4. Balance AKB & school
i've passed the one year mark of being an akb fan. hopefully the fangirl side of me will quieten down a bit and i can concentrate on schoolwork.
of course, i'll still be spazzing most of the time. so i just wish to be able to balance AKB & school.
(lol yes it's all about school lol. but seriously i'm pretty serious and determined on correcting all my bad habits. i can't let myself sink any deeper before i start to regret.)
5. Treat any part-time jobs with a positive attitude
i had a pretty rough holiday with all these terrible jobs i had. but before i start labelling them as terrible right from the start, i'll try to treat everything positively. even in tough times, i will try my best not to let anger get the better of me.. hopefully working will be more tolerable for me next year.
i guess that's all. i won't do those typical new year resolutions like being a better person, treating people better and all those kinda stuffs. yes it's important, and it's not as though i'll become a worse person and all if i don't put them in my resolutions. but it's too typical. how do i put it.. those stuffs like being a nicer person and all will definitely be on my mind, but not something i'll list down as a resolution.
i prefer to work on the things that i regret doing in 2014. as you can tell, it's mostly regarding school. i don't even know what happened to me. it might be the hectic timetable, exhaustion, or just merely a poor attention span. i don't know. but i'll do my best not to make 2015 a regretful year.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i'll turn 18 next year. time flies.
it still feels kinda surreal to me.
eighteen.
that big number.
that big number that felt so distant when i was a kid.
and now it's coming in 10 months. or to be precise, in 9 months and 5 days.
i don't know what to think..... haha
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
may 2015 be a great year for everyone.
and here's wishing mayu gets #1 for ssk again, and for jeanette to clinch a best actress award finally.
