It's the first day of the new year.

(Really didn't know how else to start this post with anything other than that so excuse me.)
I've never been one to come up with resolutions and stuff like that but I do have a few I'd like to actually achieve this year.

My health hasn't been at its best. Through out last year I was constantly falling sick, coming down with bouts of flu, having a fever at least twice a month and quite recently my asthma has been given a new lease of life.
So what I need to do this year is to start eating properly and to keep anything with or related to ice at bay and I need to exercise on a regular basis.
Not going to be easy but I have to try otherwise I'd be dead by 50.
Anyway!
Our neighbours invited us over to their place last night for New Year's Eve and we did a countdown to the New Year and everything.

Met a few people. 
And for the first time, everyone I spoke to asked: 1) Why I didn't bring my boyfriend home for the holidays, 2) If I have a boyfriend and 3) Cannot choose ah? Got so many right? *grin*

One girl even said her boyfriend has a couple of Chindian friends all desperately looking for girls.
Lol.
There was this one guy. Cousin of a good friend. Friendly. Conservative thinking. The kind that expects girls to wake up by 8am and not wear anything sleeveless or V-neck. Very pushy. Rather demanding, too. Always expected me to keep in touch. Everyone wants you to keep in touch. But once you tell me to do it, I automatically lose interest. Been friends for over two years now. Been pushing to meet. At first I was all for it. To meet I mean. But I just don't want to anymore :/ And there's a height issue too.
There was one at my apartment area last year. We met sometime in December of 2012 but went out only in April of last year lol. Very cute (think Jacob Artist from Glee). But after two dates we both knew it wasn't going to go anywhere so that was that. We were from two completely different worlds but I have to say, spending time talking to that guy made me realize just how different people really are.
Then there was another guy. No height issue whatsoever. Cute in a grunge kinda way. Into metal. Has a pet tortoise. Quirky in his own way. Nice guy. But we never really had anything in common. We've known each other for over four years now. Maybe more. There's just no spark, ya know?
And another guy. Tuition mates in secondary school for a year or so I think. I never spoke to any of the guys in that class but he remembered me and we connected on Facebook about two years after we finished high school. We had mutual friends after all. Just two weeks back he asked me to be his girlfriend (via Whatsapp). I literally laughed out loud.
There were a couple on WeChat as well. I actually met up with one but he was so self-obsessed I couldn't wait to get into the car and drive off.
Quite recently there was one other guy. Been on my Facebook friends list for ages but only sometime middle of April last year we started talking (after he heard one of my covers on Soundcloud) and we have so much in common! He loves traveling, just like I do. He loves dogs, just like I do. And we think so alike. Conversation comes so easily. Only drawback is distance. He's way up north and I'm way down south. I tried long distance once and it was a pain in the ass so I'm not going down that road again lol. But he's such a lovely person (and has the body of of God). And he's so romantic my goodness. Have made plans to meet but haven't decided on an exact date yet.
I've officially been given the go-ahead to start dating this year.
So let's see who comes along next and what happens.
;)
On that note, have a wonderful new year, all of you. God bless and stay positive!

To Date

Very happy to say that I've settled nicely into the new place. Everything's set up and unpacked and it finally feels like home. Everyone's very friendly here. So helpful. Traffic isn't that bad. Places are close by. We get everything we need. The only downside is that there's no cinema here. Which means I'll be traveling up north frequently now and I can't wait. This semester doesn't exactly seem like a particularly busy one so am really looking forward to some traveling.  Just finished watching Northanger Abbey. Was checking my hair with the phone's front cam and one thing led to another and I took about twelve selfies just like that. Heh. I tell you the things I do when I'm alone. Completely hooked on Downton Abbey. Finished season four and half of season three yesterday. Can't wait for season five to start. Also waiting for season eleven of Grey's Anatomy.  I  have unlimited WiFi. No more quota nonsense so have been ca...

To Date.

I've recently been nominated for the Liebster Blog Award thanks to a friend of mine I've only known via Facebook for some years now. The blog post for that is still being drafted. I've been posed some pretty tricky questions /;) Haven't been blogging as frequently as I used to coz I didn't bring my laptop back home this time round. Didn't think I'd have much use for it. Things have been a little...crazy here to say the least. I'm actually twenty-one now. Though I must say, the word 'freedom' was never synonymous with this age. All I ever related to this milestone was responsibility. Funny. It's been such a rollercoaster ride of emotions. I could never completely describe it. I've been thinking about how I've celebrated my birthdays all these years. Two birthdays I celebrated away from home. My eighteenth, which was in the UK with Aunty M and Uncle T, and my twentieth, which was in Johor with my classmates and a once...

It's Dr., Now!

It's been 10 days since my final professional exam & announcement of my results. I'm a doctor. & though I've been studying my entire life to reach this stage it still feels so surreal. It still feels like I need to head back south to continue with classes. Like I'm still on some semester break that is going to come to an end. Every so often throughout my day it hits me; I don't have to study anymore - for now at least. But then this though gets clouded over by other things & I forget. I have to constantly keep reminding myself that I've made it. I've actually, finally made it this far. As daunting as this whole new chapter - that's about to begin - is, part of me is excited to start. I'm excited to see where my future takes me, not only in which field of medicine I decide to pursue but also to which place. Big cities are out of the question for me. I realized, over the past couple of days, that since I've left th...
