living in singapore, where i have my needs and wants met, i often take for granted what i have, even the smallest things in life. i've never really reflected about things that i'm grateful for, except for times when i visited developing countries like indonesia and india and there were reflection times. sooo here's a post on things i'm grateful for in 2015. this post got me racking my brains man, aand made me realise how i'm such an ungrateful person. hopefully things will change in 2016.

1) i am thankful for surviving J1
surviving may not be the best word to use here cos it makes jc sounds insane but okay i'm thankful i got through this year. a year ago today, i would have never though that i would be posted to jc. it was totally crazy. the transition from secondary school to junior college, and taking subjects which i did not take back in secondary school, assignments, tests, homework and the deadly pw were things that filled this past year. next year is definitely gonna be worse, but i never imagined going through j1, honestly speaking. there were so many times i struggled in school and had thoughts on giving up, but i am glad that i got friends with me who stuck with me and encouraged me along the way. it definitely made the first year of junior college better. very very grateful for having made it to the second year of junior college and going through this year.

2) i am thankful for the friends who stuck with me
honestly, 2015 have not been a very fantastic year in terms of friendship. many things had happened in my friendships and it totally sucked. but i am really grateful for the friends who are always with me, encouraging me, giving me advice and all. i honestly am so grateful for you guys for tolerating with my nonsense, my laughter, my worries and me complaining about school every single day. thanks guys, you know who you are.

3) i am thankful for being where i am
most of the time i always take the things i have for granted. other times, i complain about not having things when i already have what i need. but there are certain situations this year that made me really thankful for everything that i have, and blessed with. recently, there have been lots of natural disasters happening around the world, and this made me really grateful for being safe in singapore. also, the recent flooding in chennai gave me so many flashbacks of hyc -- this honestly made me miss india so much and i wonder how my friends and the school kids are doing there. people are losing their houses from the floods, and here i am complaining about my job. ha ha. i'm indeed thankful for being where i am today. my complains must really maintain.

4) i am thankful for the happy things that happened to me this year
no doubt, this year had been one rocky year and it was like a roller coaster ride for me, but i am thankful for all the highs that i've had this year. be it little outings such as adventure cove at the beginning of the year or year end party, i am thankful for the happy things i've been through this year. like it really really were the peak times, and some examples of the happy things (probably) are orientation, jayesslee, one direction, echosmith, etc. so yeah, all these little parts that played a happy role for this year, i am really glad and thankful they happened. :')

5) i am thankful for God being with me in 2015
i mean, all things have happened because of God. He has allowed me to be posted to pjc even though i was like at risk, He has allowed me to go through so many things this year and i have definitely learnt a lot throughout the year, not only academically of course HAHA. i'm just really really grateful that God has been with me this year. no doubt, i have a lot to work on my relationship with God, but i hope 2016 would be better!

some of the things i'm grateful for may be "standard", but well, i hold these things/people/events very close to my heart, and i'm really thankful for them. there are so many more things that i appreciate this year especially since a lot have happened within this past 12 months. but here's the 5 things i'm grateful for in 2015. :)

till next time x
