It has been a year since I moved to Singapore, this post is dedicated to remark what have I learned and what has happened to me both psychically & mentally.
The positive +
+ Completed Diploma & Advanced Diploma
+ Learn roller skating
+ Learn scuba diving
+ Travel to a foreign country (on plane) by myself
+ Flight more than I have ever in my life
+ Experience my first love
+ Make a few scuba friends
+ Going to gym for that body! (hot stud in making)
The negative -
- Moved to a house with a nasty landlord (get me out of here!)
- Didn't make as many friends as I'd like to
- Still alone, but this time I'm lonely
- Still feel like I don't fit in
- 3 times bacteria & viral infection, cost me a fortunes!
- First time admitted to hospital, experienced local anesthesia and surgery (not fun!)
- Victim of internet scam :(
- Macbook broke down
This is all I can recall for now, life have its up and down, it just proved that life isn't always a bed of roses. But I do look forward to what may come next.
1 year mark.
Good, but not too good.
Came back from a scuba trip not too long ago, it was enjoyable. But somehow, I get the feeling that I have no one to share the joy with… I felt lonely. Maybe it is because I am getting old, I do not feel like wanting to be alone or by myself anymore. I want somebody to share the excitement with, someone to talk to, or laugh with. It's a complicated feeling.
On the other hand, I've moved to a new apartment for about a week now. I can't say I am satisfied with everything, especially with the massive drop in internet speed and a very short desk that I couldn't even put my legs underneath & have to bend my back just to use the computer. Too bad this is going to be my life for the next 12 months, as for now, I supposed there's nothing I could do.
Moving on - 3 more weeks left to finish my last semester of advance diploma, if all goes well, I will be further my study some time next year. One more thing I am looking forward to this year is I am finally getting my braces off this November! It has been such a journey since I first got braces, with all the unpleasant things happened lately, it's really something good to think about.
It's gonna be great
One of my new year resolution this year is to travel more often than I have ever been before. By the time I am typing this post, I already have 3 scuba trips & 1 ski trip in Korea lining up ahead for me. So yeah… guess my life is pretty good right now.
Speaking of scuba diving, recently I decided to spent big money on scuba equipments. It's a big investment but I do hope that for the years to come I will be able to go on scuba trips more often. I feel like I have finally found my true calling, the feeling of seeing majestic wall of corals and school of fish is simply unforgettable, meeting new people who share the same interest and most importantly, it's easy to organize.
It has been almost a year since I live in Singapore, I will be moving to another apartment in 2 days, ready to get familiar with another new environment. But before that, I have no idea that I have since bought a shit tons of stuff! I will have to make at least 2 trips to move all of my belonging, it's a whole 'nother work. *sigh*
It has never been my intention to stay in Singapore in the future, but I gotta say, studying in Singapore is the best decision I have ever made and fight for. To me, it is like one of the butterfly effect in my life. Without coming to Singapore, there are a lot of things I wouldn't even do to being with. If a year ago the old me choose to continue to study in Kuala Lumpur, I would not be the person I am today. I would not become a scuba diver, goto gym, or ever learn how to roller skate. Looking back, I am really great that I made the decision of coming here.
Next goal, Love!
