and so it is...

2011 was a good year.

was it better than 2010? maybe not.
with my taiwan exchange and all the drama rehearsal madness, 2010 is quite hard to beat (in terms of fun).

one of my highlights of 2011, would have to be my hosting "career", which began in June. really learnt a lot from all those veteran emcees. at least now i'm certain that freelance is not my thing. 兴趣不能当饭吃. and hosting is not exactly my best talent LOL.

looks like Lady Luck finally decided to shine on me.
what a morale booster to end my 2nd final semester with a bang! i think i haven't scored straight A's since...PSLE. *gasp*
won an Android phone from a Singtel contest! all i did was post a funny comment, apparently it was funny enough to garner so many "likes" hohoho! usual price $598 and i got it for free! 是上天的旨意，要我跟上时代的脚步? MUAHAHAHA!

2012 preview: finish FYP, start job-hunting, finish exams, grad trip, family trip, convocation, start work, enjoy work, survive 21/12/2012, countdown to 2013...

i shall continue to be contented & grateful for the little things in life.
with a new phone, new wallet & new organiser...i'm ready for 2012!

Best of 2011: K-pop

I was officially converted into a K-pop fan this year.
watching all those weekly chart shows (Mnet, Inkigayo, Music Bank) while rooting for my favs.

at first it was the crazily catchy infectious dance beats.
then came the goosebumps-inducing moving ballads.

dun understand the lyrics? never mind.
all that matters is the melody.

Best of 2011: Movies

here comes my first year-end list of favourites!

according to my IMDb reviews, i din watch many movies this year (as compared to previous years). was i that busy? hmm.

but anyway, out of those i watched, here's my top 10 (in order of preference):

1. A Separation (Iran)
the Iranians did it again. drama at its best. cuden pick out a single flaw. be sure to catch it in cinemas Feb 2012.

2. The Artist (France)
a silent film which has more heart and depth than all the blockbusters out there.

3. Incendies (Canada)
one of the most shocking endings EVER. the thought of it still gives me goosebumps.

4. Beginners (USA)
quirky feel-good dramedy. kinda like 500 Days Of Summer, but more inspirational.

5. 那些年，我们一起追的女孩 (Taiwan)
expected it to be 青春偶像剧-like, but it was far more than that. lives up to its hype.

6. Rio
7. 127 Hours
8. The Ides Of March
9. Four Lions
10. 让子弹飞


next list: Korean Songs.

it's the end...

of exams.
of another semester.
of another year.

but it's only the beginning...
of holidays.
of xmas shows.
of FYP.

shall keep myself fully occupied until results day.
or else i will think too much n put myself in a bad mood.
