2011 has been a long year. A year full of changes in my life. I've experienced so much in the past year. Have I grown even more mature? I have absolutely no idea, except that my attitude and character seems the same though.
Looking back..
Jan: Doing up Yanjia's 21st birthday. Coping with the 2nd month of playing at Imperial. The experience of being so happy doing up her birthday, down to the neutral feeling of things subsiding, all the way to dropping all things for each other. Me and yanjia, all in one month. We were really really close. I guess I can only say that those are now just in memories. One of the persons in my life that I shared almost everything. Someone who totally supported my thinking and ktv stints.
Feb: Yanjia left for Shanghai, and I sent her off. At the point when she walked into the customs area, it was a sad, longing yet very relieved kinda feeling. It's hard to drop something, but when 2 person could just drop it with so much mutual understanding, and things have come to an end, you feel so relieved. No tear dropped.
March/April: Boring life with Imperial everyday. No offs even. I just wanted to work. Life became mundane and I was getting bored.
Imperial closed down on 22/4 if I recall right, and I did their last show. The boss gave me $500 flowers for it. A sense of reminiscence when I left the place. It was my "training ground". Where I picked up the trade. 老师's job all from scratch. I was reaslly very fortunate to be given this spot. Adam was next door and he always looked after me. I really learnt a lot. Saw how money was thrown, saw how guys can be transparent. Cigars, diff countries cigs smokes. Drinks. Girls. PR. Night life. At the point when I left the place, I really couldnt bear to. Initial setup all for me, to my requirements. I miss the keyboards. I missed the playing.
May: It was a whole month of unpaid leave. I went travelling in China and looked for Yanjia, Jim and Dikai who all brought me around different places. Dikai really surprised me a lot. He's my 23SA friend, and though we were good friends, we did not talk much about personal life. I did not expect him to actually take leave to bring me around Shanghai. And to accompany me for food and shopping throughout. Really touched by it.
Also, I spent almost every other free day in Singapore exploring recipes and cooking and cooking and cooking.
June: I started work at Baidu. It was no where near Imperial in terms of customer support, deco and the overall 气质 was just lacking. However, I was given the sole 老师 spot, and had to handle everything on my own. I think I managed to do things well. I got to meet some really sincere friendly girls there. The singers. They're more sincere and real than those in Imperial. I even went out for supper after work once.
July: After a month in Baidu, I realised that my life was oh so mundane. I'm leading a boring life and it's not the kind I like. I did some soul searching and was finally enlightened. I wanted to venture into culinary business. And while surfing the Net for information on the mandatory hygience course, I came across a webby by At-Sunrice, and eventually signed up for a 1.5 years full time diploma course. The time lapse between spotting the website to enrolling was jus 4 days. I would say that it was pretty rushed.
When school started, I faced a major problem of needing to work at 10pm to 3am, and school from 8am to 5pm, not inclusive of travelling time. I started off by taking one MC per week for the first few weeks to get sufficient rest. I even rented a car for an entire month in August to try to cope with this. Eventually, I decided that I could not do it, and had to quit my ktv job. It was a painful decision.
Also, I got together with Kailian this month. A girl I met online. Something I made a super wrong decision in. I knew her since Feb, and we went out a few times together. Somehow, I just thought hey, let's just try to get tgt and see how things go. In a way, I was being very very selfish cuz I din really love her, but was juz "trying out" and using her to forget Yanjia.
When I was with her, I was really trying to and making her happy. It wasn't an all emo kinda relationship. Over time, the personality differences as well as the lack of communication(communicating topics and understanding) got to me, and I felt a bit tired of things. What's the point of a gf whom you cant talk to..
Aug: While in school, I met ShuYun, who was coincidentally from NUS Architechture, and also from the same batch as myself, o8. This came as a big surprised because I did not expect to see any NUS student in Sunrice, much less from the same batch. We started of clicking quite well...
Also, this month happened to be the last month I'm playing in a KTV. I was actually quite relieved and happy because the work and study issue was really making me very very tired, and it was draining my life force away. Nevertheless, I was missing playing, and recorded my last shows on audio. Times in Baidu when I was playing with Xiao Yi was super fun. He was a host who knew how to control the customers' reactions, and I had to work on my effect and keyboards stuff impromptu, in sync with him. The experience was super duper fun.
Sep: Sch Sch Sch. I became more awake and alert, and started to pick things up faster. I needed time to get my vitality back though.
October: Term 1 ended, and there was a break. My ShuYun Daniel went over to the Philippines (Laoag and Manila) and met up with Roxanne and Michael there. They brought us around. Philippine story would be on another post.. I hope.
Prior to Philippines, I went to KL with kailian too.
In Philippines, something happened. Something I did not expect of myself in the wildest of dreams. It opened a huge door.
I came back to Singapore slightly changed, and by the end of October, broke up with Kailian. It was a lesson to remember. Something I would remember forever. I felt really guilty when breaking up because I did not love her in the first place when I got together with her. She did love me though. And because of such, I hurt her a lot a lot alot. So much so that she landed in hospital. I felt really bad about it but could only hope for the best. I'm still hoping that she's leading a normal life now. I caused her such hurt and pain, and can only say that I owe her something forever.
Also in Oct, I started my first attachment site in RWS at Fiesta.
Nov: Yun and I got closer after that. Nov was filled with school, work, and free times with her.
December:
My birthday.
With Yun. On the actual day, and 3 days later. We had dinner at Hokkaido Japanese Reataurant at M Hotel. She bought me Antoinette's Mont Blanc too cuz I havent tried a Mont Blanc prior to that. She also bought an Antoinette. It was an Omakase meal with a super reasonable price.
3 days later was at Blu, which I really enjoyed. There was a lobster dish with egg plant that stood out. The textures and tastes were very nicely blended! Prezzie: A self-sewn apron of Pineapples(she calls me Pineapple), a lip balm, and boxers.
With Almido. It was a couple of days before, and we celebrated mine, Russel and Terence's birthdays together. It was a meal at MdZ or sth like that at Orchard Central, followed by cake cutting and prezzie time at an area near Scape. Prezzie: 2 tees! Good cuz I dun have time to shop these days.
Last one with my family. It was a dinner at Man Fu Yuan. Tea Pairing. Something new to experience, but not something I would go for again. The food was good though. Better than Royal China.
Xmas: Spent it with Almido with the gift exchange, and spent the actual day working. Met to Genting on 26 to 28 with Yun to chill.
New Year: No countdown nothing. Working. At least last yr I was doing a count down show at my ktv.
December was also the month that Yun became The Girlfriend.
A very very very long year. Most of my time now is occupied my work, school and the gf. I really love her a lot, and despite some differences we have, I do hope we can have a happy ending. It's all about faith and fate. Fate brought us together. Had we met in NUS, I dun think we'd even started talking. Some how, all the way to culinary school, we met, talked, got close, and got together. Someone I'm putting everything I have onto. Time, effort.
Her birthday's coming and I hope I can do something about it. The indefinite schedules we have doesnt help in my planning at all too.
Hoping for the best, and I will definitely do my best.
I hope those still stalking my blog have a rough idea what I went through the entire year......
Year 2012, It's a big mystery. I know for sure that it'll be filled with memories of the gf. Happy memories. =)
