let the good times roll

Joween
25 & dreaming.

//carpe diem//

better known as joweeeeen. your typical singapore girl. searching for happiness. quite a sentimental person who appreciates cards and letters a lot. crazy at times and pretty emotional. has a contagious laughter and a twin too. older every 21 march. insecure, annoying and always overthinking. shy and quiet, or outgoing and loud. afraid to trust, but dare to dream. loves long hugs, heart to heart talks, sincere text messages and reading handwritten cards. imagining things that will never happen. always setting high hopes and getting disappointed in the end. figuring life out every single day.

9 June 2013, the best day of my life. Live like Jesus, live with Jesus and live for Jesus.
"For nothing is impossible with God."-Luke1:37♥

twenty fifteen
Friday, 25 December 2015 || 10:10 pm

so hello hello it's time for me to reflect upon 2015 and its happenings. it's been a crazy year, so many things have happened, so many highs and lows. i'll try to remember the significant events that have happened this year, so bless my memory i'm getting old HAHA. here's how my 2015 went:

NEW YEARS CELEBRATION
work ended early because there was no one so tricia was a happy kid cos it was her last day of work hahah. so anyway year end party was quite fun because there was this mass dance (and i was looking through my older blogposts where me and nathan disturbed each other during the dance) HAHA and like shouting "NO MORE O LEVELS" when the clock struck 12 and i was so happy i almost teared. well... things are gonna change in a few days time when 2016 arrives. and sad to say, i really dread the coming of 2016. it'll be such a major and important year for me it might just drive me crazy. so friends, if you're reading this (low possibility), i'm really sorry please bear with me for the coming 12 months ahead.

JAYESSLEE ASIA WORLD TOUR IN SINGAPORE
first ever live show i've been to and it's to the talented twins' show like they actually had 3 shows in singapore???? hahah and they brought their family up on stage and, okay, jordan and shane were so adorable!!!! their first song was she looks so perfect and i was just like omg no way. HAHA yeah basically....... it was good!!

ORIENTATION
so being in a new school only means one thing, orientation! (+ matriculation). i really really enjoyed the 6 days of matric and orientation even though i was awkward on the first day, but i had my fair share of laughter and i had fun making new friends! i love the mg which does cheers really loudly, and our class is also quite bonded with our ogls so yeah it was pretty fun!! i'd never ask for a better mg who could stand my annoying laughter!! though we're not as close now, i miss mg time a whole dang lot. shoutout to mgls and ogls for making everything memorable! (i still remember darren was the first mgl to talk to me like he just sat in between me and chee wee and shook hands like omg wat). but i guess orientation and matriculation was the highlight of my first year in junior college because it was like the most fun event and also because the rest of the year was either spent one, studying or two, doing ambass duties.

CNY WITH SAIKANG
so #saikangisback all of us except eecheng and yongkai went to eugina's house for steamboat and it was such a great catch up session! it was almost a last minute thing, but i love saikang! they were the ones who made council so much more fun and bearable! great great time with my favourite councillors. i miss full strength, but ok i miss you guys so much now!! this may not have been a very significant event but times spent with saikang are always the best!! currently missing my council fam.

OTRASG
one direction. singapore. these two words will probably never ever cross paths again except on 11/3/15. it was literally a lit night just jamming live!!!! still regret missing the opportunity to run to the mosh and for not listening to the music and for not enjoying the moment cos i was videoing, but totally not regretting singing off tune!! it was a freaking amazing night okay!! ot5 in singapore. for the first and last time. can we just talk about how on the day i'm typing this, one direction is gonna be on the x factor live results show for the last time before their hiatus? can we just talk about it? and the 24 songs they sang.... whenever its played somewhere, i'll just be like "omg one direction omg otra" yeah. sorry i'm annoying as heck HAHA.

17TH BIRTHDAY
not a really significant day (happy spiritual birthday nathan) (happy birthday aaron) (and jasleen whom we only know this year) but i'm grateful to all those who remembered and wished and everything you guys are awesomeeeeeeee!! and shoutout to minray alice and yuting for going out on that day and satisfying my crave for ewf and making me walk around town with a big arse balloon and going home with it on the train for like over 10 stops? love yall!!!!! holy cow guys, i'm gonna be 18 in 2016. isn't time passing a lil too quickly? definitely.

PJ FIESTA
first ever pj fiesta and it was a success! glad to be part of it! and it's so good to see so many familiar faces from church, secondary school and even primary school! (omg friends with xuan rui for 9 years already leh) HAHAHA well it was quite a good time catching up! and i also enjoyed standing on the stool and shouting to the crowd (when it rained), which meant i was judged by the J2 class opposite ours and by the public. but hey, fun > image right? HAHAHA. the weeks or months of preparation was worth it when all the late-night baked cookies and brownies were sold, and being able to see the old mates. x

GALA DINNER
first official duty of the year as an ambassador, glad to have made some new friends. but i'm still an awkward turtle as always. love.

SISTERS RETREAT x SLEEPOVERs x JUNE RETREAT
so sisters retreat was over a weekend during the march holidays i think and i think i enjoyed myself as i got to bond with some sisters! furthermore, there were no mentors guiding us and stuff so we literally had "ourselves" time and the games were pretty fun!!!! also jammed to some songs and like i was literally my crazy self in front of the sisters HAHAH. sleepover at church was a separate thing where me and crish planned to do overnight studying and yeah it was a good time with the sisters especially since we had this sharing session. :) also, the sleepover at crish's over one random weekend when we failed to study, it's good to be catching up with someone from my dgroup 2 years ago HAHAH. and june retreat, idk i have mixed feelings about it. but i think i got closer to some teens i guess and joseph teo my buddy HAHAH.

INDONESIA
went to batam/balai over some weekends and i got to meet my cousins who suddenly became more welcoming to us and im so happy cos i love playing with them though sometimes its tiring but they're so cute do you feel me!!!!!! hahah i wanna teleport myself to indonesia rn ok!!!!

2ND SPIRITUAL BIRTHDAY
i turned 2 years as a disciple. a tough decision no doubt, but the best decision i have made. there's so many things that i have to change and grow in. many more years to come. our God is an awesome God. x

ECHOSMITH
pretty cool day hanging out with echosmith (except jamie cos he was gonna be a father so he didn't come!!!) it was the first time i got to go up close and personal with stars and sydney noah and graham are literally so nice! like sydney gave us two hugs!!!!! okay i dont wanna say a lot here, but it was a really COOL day i literally felt like a COOL KID. and we were soooooo close to the stage and the people in front of us were super tall pfft okay whatever. but okay holy cow, an hour with echosmith? hugging them? shaking hands with them? talking to them? seeing them perform live? what?

TEACHERS DAY
went back to chung cheng! it was so good to be back at the alma mater, seeing our ex teachers and catching up with old friends, like literally. so proud of my council juniors for putting up a great performance! and i finally caught up with marcus cos we didnt really talk during the four years in cchy *HAHA WE SUCK) but that smart ny poop 4 H2 omg okay. and afterwards we actually planned to study with minray alice and yuting but the outcome failed cos we talked a lot and reminisced our chung cheng days instead HAHA it was a great day!

PROMOS
hella stressful and stuff but i survived my first major exam in jc! okay, mid years sucked too. but this period of time was so difficult for me because i was so worried and going through some stuff too. and i'm glad i managed to go through promos. i'm also really grateful for the friends who have been there with me as i went through promos and just encouraging me even though i was so pessimistic about promoting! but hey, i got promoted. now i just need to go through class test. mid years, prelims and a's next year.... gg.com

CAMBODIANS WEEKEND
so we finally get to hangout with the cambodians over a weekend! didnt get to do that last year because we were going through o's. but yes the 10 super hilarious cambodians who came to singapore, you guys are so nice and its amazing to meet you guy! i'll never forget the times we spent with the cambodians from 2013 and this year!! i'm just waiting for the time when i wont spend money on unnecessary stuff and just save up to go to cambodian to reunite with my cambodian friends!!! honestly cambodians are the nicest people!! i miss my cambodian mates. :(

so i think above are a few major or memorable days/events for me. felt nostalgic typing them. there are so many many more small things that took place this year which are not mentioned here, but i'm sure i posted some lil things on instagram so hopefully the memories will stay. 2015 had been an emotional roller coaster ride. it's been tough, but when the going gets tough, the tough gets going. hopefully 2016 would be fun and not too bad (ya know). i'm not prepared for the new year, but i'll just have to go with it.

to all those who have gone through a lot this year, you are not alone. the year's coming to an end and a new year awaits us. so chin up and start 2016 on a high note. spread some love and positive vibes next year alright! (it will be very much appreciated by yours truly) love yall whoever who reads till here!!

more pictures next time aye. it's tiring to upload pictures. or maybe i'm just lazy. yup the latter.

till next time x
