What’s the best way to review through my 2011?
Reading through tawnypumpkins of course! Just to clarify, my reads doesn’t count in the statistics. So yup, not faking them. Hahaha, I’m obviously still really happy over the 126. If you aren’t clear what I am referring to, maybe you will, if you read on. YOU BETTER DO. Ha. Well, any case, pumpkins has been like this diary I kept on my bedside. I update it pretty frequently I say. Not with everything and anything being that it’s actually on THE INTERNET and not my bedside for real. Things that I don’t really want the world to know about, I’ll choose to filter it out and not post about. Say, like the time when I got on THE NEWS sometime this december?…. UH HUH, I GOT ON THE NEWS! But like I’ve said, that’s something I wanna filter out, so perhaps I’ll share it another time when I’m really prepared. Unless if someone is gonna beat me to that by finding that video. Don’t try people, DON’T.
So here’s a compilation of things I’ve posted about on pumpkins throughout this year. Just in case if it confuse, the example of a format looks like this (right below!).

Title!
Something that I posted about in that post titled, “Title!”. The words are gonna be coloured in burnt red.
*I maybe making some comments or footnotes about things that I’ve posted about, so, just so you know, it starts with a asterix and is italic and coloured in dark blue. So titles of the post in bold, things that I’ve quoted from myself in burnt red, and my new additional comments are in astatrics and is italic and coloured in dark blue. Woah, I don’t see how that can, not be any confusing. Well I did try my best in clarifying. Let’s roll and see how my clarifications is working shall we? Oh and if you’re ever thinking of doing a re-read, click on the title.
Okay, let’s get started for real. From January to December. It’s gonna be a long ride.

Guts Full
Erhem, I’ve got some updates to share. Not on my job search. And btw, that’s one of the most frustrating two syllabus word to hear about right now. It’s on erm activities I enrolled myself into.
Namely, Japanese lessons, Yoga class and Cantonese.
*I was trying to learn Cantonese from my Mom and she started by teaching me the swearing words. How did it progress on? Lessons kind of started and ended that same night. Haha, “oh well” I suppose. How did Japanese and Yoga went? Those were lessons that I tried to pick up from the Community Centre (I know, I know. Don’t judge alright. It’s a wonderful place, haha.). Changed Japanese to Korean, but that didn’t help much, so it kind of means that trying to be Korean speaking failed for me. Yoga, LOVE IT. Well lessons kind of pained you cause you have to do quite some serious stretching. And I have to say, I’m kind of addicted to the pain. I continue to enroll for lessons and turn up for stretching to get a bit of the pain. And of course there are reasons like, to make sure that I remain flexible as I age and to have an activity to be engaged in without having me seated. You know, you turn up to school, you sit. You watch tv at home, you sit. You use the computer, you sit. You use the computer in bed, and you’re still sitting! Another thing that I enrolled myself in the Community Centre (Hey, it’s really an awesome place), ARCHERY! So cool right! I know, I know, haha. Well, another thing was enrolling into their study group to get access to their Study Room. It helped saved my grades for statistics!

Job Search, again
Someone every once told me that Confidence can mistakenly come across as Arrogance.
Perhaps it is so, but I’m not confident just all day, everyday. I’m confident because something makes me or someone makes me, depending on each and every situation. There are times when I know I’m obviously wrong, so I try to hone and manage that factor of when to be and when not to be confident. Ridiculous confidence makes you a ridiculous person (Hey, it rhymes, haha. Come on, my effort is worthy some applause!).

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Anyway, thank you for reading.
In all sincere ways, thank you.
*The time when tawnypumpkins’s stats went over a 10,000. Well it was one of my emotional period of happiness. Yeah, I derive happiness from such small little things. Once again, don’t judge.

Last days of your life
*A very real reflection on my part at the age of 19 and 21 days going if my calculations aren’t wrong. Well what I’m saying is I’ve perhaps grown out of it? I don’t know.

Heads Up
*As real as it is. If you were to read and gets curious if I’ve managed to well overcome the thing or problem or issue I was posting about, NO. Does it still trouble me (referring to the thing/problem/issue)? YES. I’m actually hoping that by the end of 2012, it will no longer be. I’m giving myself another year. Hopefully this is the last year.

Bits
Burned my fingers while using the steamer to iron my working attire and it’s darn it painful! They day that pain distracts one from things bugging them didn’t they? It seems to me that I should be pretty thought-less at the moment cause all my attention is focused on the pain.

Women figures are just such poor things. You can’t see the pain off them with bare eyes you know. Yet people are just so judgmental when situation arises to them. Even for women alike. The sympathy might as well be dropped down to flat zero with all the nasty gossips and finger-pointing.

I was thinking, perhaps I should try joining their crew. That way, I can get a degree while being paid for it anyway.

Or actually, a more justifying reason would be that because I don’t possess one so I like buying one to make up for it.
Don’t deny I’m a little weird.
*Well, I was referring to a heart. I guess that sentence is still applicable, “Don’t deny I’m a little weird”. Haha.

Possesion&Enjoyment
You can enjoy the company, love and joy that someone brings you, but you can never posses someone.
You can enjoy the status that you share with someone, be it as friends, family, lovers, husband and wife but likewise you still can’t posses the person.
You can enjoy happiness or the feelings of another, but you can never truly posses it as your own.
But you know what it is that can be both enjoyed and possessed?
Money.
You can enjoy the money you have on hands by spending it on something you love, donating to help the poor or spread it out on the floor and roll over it. Then, you can posses monetary items in exchange for the cash, or the receipt from your donations or happily see it stored inside your bank.
It’s people with their weird desires.
*Do I still hold such a strong stand towards, erm, Money? Well answer is, not so much. I guess something in me might have really changed over the year. Maybe its temporary, I don’t know. I used to stand by that logic really persistently.

The Impossible
On Sunny days you just have to keep me cool and sweat free.
On Rainy days I just need you to shelter me under your umbrella.
Simple right?
Now, on fine weathers, hmmmmmmmm, yeah there’s nothing you can do to please me.
It’s true, I’m impossible.

I pronounce love for Switzerland.
The utmost prestige that i can possibly present anyone, anything.
*You should be able to find a series of travel related post from the earlier part of this year. With pictures and all. I’m actually having a second doubt about my bangs. Maybe it isn’t so much my look after all.

Erm, I’ve been considering really hard whether if I should pick up the violin again. Mostly out of the agitation that I get from my Mom who couldn’t stop questioning me on why it is that I just wouldn’t bring out the violin to play a piece or two during her afternoon tea session, ALL THE TIME, ALL OUT OF THE BLUE. Like seriously, play the violin while she’s sipping tea?! It makes me fume so badly. And to think that she was the one who stopped me from continuing my lessons. ARGH!
*I was really pissed over this with my Mom back then. Then, say June.

Run Away
I’m leaving the country again for what it seems like the last holiday for the year and before classes were to kick in again. This might sound a little wrong or airy or just proud but i’m kind of exhausted from all this travelling.
*Well, it’s true. And yes, I do think I sounded both airy and proud. My bad but I was really exhausted. I meant it.

CHRISTMAS

HARRY POTTER’S FINAL INSTALMENT
no
MY DRIVING TEST
no
MY BIRTHDAY
no
YOUR BIRTHDAY
?
Of course not.
Confused? (title please!)
Well it’s the eve of school reopen from my 8 months break.
*The year when I entered university after my nightmare-ish junior college journey. How exactly am I liking it so far? Well, the freedom is awesome I say but I’m still not quite as comfortable as I would have hoped. The travelling… the schoolmates… the friends… I’m hoping it’ll get better in 2012. It will, won’t it?
Oh, I haven’t yet mention about my grades did I?
Business Statistics – Distinction (I was 1 mark away from High Distinction! ARGH!)
Accounting – High Distinction
Organisational Behaviour – Credit
Business Computing – Distinction (I shout, MIRACLE!)
Am I happy with my grades?
Why won’t I be? I haven’t felt this good about my grades since Secondary 1. Man, that sounds like a really long ago eh.

I’ve got no driving licence
*Well nothing really worthy of the read or re-read. But it’s a moment and fact that happened for my 2011. Not something I’m proud of. Oh and FYI, I’ve started my driving lessons and the whole thing about trying to pass it on my third test (5th March, 10.15am!). Finger crossed everybody.

Graduation Goggles
*I consider this post as another one of the more decent few from this year and another one that had some slight documentation on my first actual job away from my parents. And that’s something that I’m actually really proud of. I was the one who took the initiative to BE INDEPENDENT. Three cheers for me, huh.

300th!
*Well I realised that there was only one post for the month of September. Now that’s record-breaking. Anyway case, “300TH!” was that record-breaking post. I was having some kind of writer’s block this year ya know. Alright, don’t go about faulting me when I use the word “writer’s”. Haha!

What’s left?
Life is just a miserable, painful and difficult process leading you to an eventual dead end.
If you choose not to love in life, what’s left?
Stacks of smelly cash?
*Oh! I guess this was about when I started to have a bit of a change of opinion on all my “Money logic”. If you’re confused, NVM. Hahaha, well it’ll take me quite some effort to clear this one up, so I think it’s okay if we give this small little one a miss.

Electragirl
I think I’ve just got a minor electricity shock.
It happened so quickly that I just couldn’t be sure about it.
Maybe I’ll be equipped with super powers when I wake up tomorrow morning.
My super power being the ability to control electricity.
And then perhaps I should name myself as Electragirl.
HAHA.

*Everyone, you have to read this if you haven’t. The fruit stall is really driving me nuts. The club music has never ceased. EVERY NIGHT. I LISTEN TO “DOMZ DOMZ DOMZ DOMZ” AT BEDTIME, EVERY FREAKING NIGHT! It’s either I call the cops or we boycott their shop. YOU PICK.

Here’s another thing with me and the entire ageing issue, I’ve lost my virtue of being argumentative.
*DENG, DENG, DENG, DENG*
…
It’s not that I’ve lost this whole entire gift on picking up arguments. Some special few still possess the ability to bring it out in me. Just that, it’s really only that few people. And yup, you read it correctly, I consider the flare for arguments a huge gift, talent or even virtue. You have no clue about the amount of satisfaction I’ve derived over the years.
*This was the post that got me 126 views in a single night. How so? No clue at all. Personally didn’t felt that it was a really fantastic one. But still, 126! Who am I to say what’s fantastic and what’s not?
/

Magic No. 126
WordPress has this thing about sending you reviews of how your blog did every year. Something like a report card.
All I can say is that there’s stress to perform. You know, a report card and I’m SO TOTALLY A SINGAPOREAN KID.
/
Alright kids, and that was MY 2011 all summed up for you. Was it an awesome, fantastic 2011? I don’t know. For one I know that this is the year where I got to take a really long break of all education stuff and went on some serious travelling. This was the year when i failed to get a licence for two times. The year when I tried to strike some independence on my own by taking a cosmetics counter job, gave out brochures at Raffles place and started giving tuition. The year when the final installment for HARRY POTTER was released ): The year when I started university…
All in all, I suppose you can say that 2011 has been good to me huh? After all that listing, yeah, 2011 wasn’t that bad. It’s been alright, good. (: I’m trying to physco myself a bit here.
Okay, 2012. Resolutions?
Of course I’m hoping to pass my driving test the third time round.
Maintain good grades and get even better ones.
Erm, get comfortable with people around me.
And be a happy person that’s not afraid of ageing.
I guess, that’s about that for the moment.
Alright, who am I kidding? A HAPPY AND NON-AFRAID OF AGEING PERSON? I don’t think it’s really gonna happen. What will the world become if that really did happened?
Think about it for a moment…
SCARY HUH!
Hahaha.
Guess that’s the final? or maybe second or third final post for the year. Depending on how the night turns out and if I ever have an inspiration to blog again. I’m actually getting some shoulders cramp from putting this post together and it took me all in all say two nights for preparation. Would really appreciate if you read it. And of course presuming that you did since you’re actually reading this sentence.
Last of all, thank you for reading pumpkins and following through my year of 2011.
No clue how the year worked out for you (hopefully well), but 2012 will be real fabulous cause I’m gonna wish you a good year ahead. Hahaha.
May 2012 be a good year for both you and me.
May there be world peace (I’m really ambitious, I know.).
May happiness linger around longer in 2012.
For both you and me.
With all the likings put together from the year 2011,
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
and thanks for lingering around.
