There is a first time for everything. Goodbye, 2014!

Every year just gets better, and 2014 was one of the greatest years for me, without a doubt. Countless friends made (okay, I'm obviously exaggerating here, mind you!), fears faced, risks taken, opportunities seized, mistakes made, lessons learnt...it surely wasn't just all rainbows and unicorns, but it was definitely a year to remember. A year with heaps of first time experiences for me.

First time eating durian puffs (I'm not a fan of durians at all but these taste great).

First time getting a fine. In Melbourne Sigh let's not talk about it...

First time going on so many road trips in one year.

First time getting double piercings (TWICE. Haha my ears are so sensitive. Sigh).



The list could go on and on, but I'm really thankful that I got to experience everything I experienced in 2014. I wish I could say that I didn't regret a thing, but truth is, there are bound to be things I regret doing/not doing. But life goes on, and I learn from my past. With that being said, here's to a greater 2015! I'm looking forward to this year because I know that greater things are yet to come. Here's to making more new memories with people we love and cherish! May we all grow in our own individual ways, mature spiritually, learn from our past mistakes and make 2015 an unforgettable year. :)
