Review Twenty Sixteen ♥

♥ Hellooooooo guys! So this is my annual routine and I've decided to make it mandatory so doesn't matter if I have time or not. I'll finish this like I how usually do in the previous years. I still see some of you guys reading this little space and I can't express how thankful I am despite the hiatus and overdue updates I promised to do long time ago. Haven't been writing for quite a while so I'm kinda spacing out and thinking at the same time because I'm in a state of lost for words hahah. Anyway, to those who are still here, or those who still check back to see if I actually updated anything, thank you guys for helping me keep this space alive, well in a way haha. I hope everyone of you is doing beyond well. :) 

♥ To start this post, I have to say that it's gonna be different from what I used to write every other year. I'll just be writing on the review instead. No resolutions because I've decided to keep my resolutions this year :) Okay, I better start going into my main purpose. :p

♥ So how was my 2016? Another challenging year I would say. Learnt alot, see alot and experienced alot. I can't say it's a bad experience because all these made me learn and grow. Been a year with alot of ups and downs but I'm glad another new chapter is starting soon. 

♥ 2016 :

- completed my final credit in May and officially a grade 11 graduate

- decided to go for a different path in life

- temporarily left home to pursue my studies

- be fully independent

- also had crazy hair colors for the CNY and another months after :p

♥ Now to keep things short, I'll skip to the part where I can express my gratitude to people whom I love and loves me back. This year wouldn't have been this great without all of you. 

♥ First and foremost, my amazing parents 

♥♥

♥ As always, thank you for loving me as I am and thank you for supporting me in things I wanna do. Being outstation alone without you both is really hard. It's still hard, although it has been half a year. When things go wrong, I don't have anyone to run to. And when troubles come my way, I don't know how to handle it well. Although this temporary out of home thing is making me stronger and more independent, I just can't wait till I finish everything on the other side and run home. I can't wait till the day where goodbyes are not necessary anymore. Thank you both for being there for me always. You both are the reason why I'm out of home because I need to be successful so I am able to provide for you both like how you have provided for me for my whole life. To both my heart, I love you both wholly and I pray that 2017 will be a year filled with abundance and prosperity for our family. Stay healthy, stay happy and stay loving. I love you both so so much ♥♥♥♥ Thank you for being my greatest support.

♥ To this boy who stood by me through all, the boyf ♥♥

♥ Hello youu :p Thank you for being my 2nd greatest support as always. You have been amazing this year. Juggling between your exams and your assignments wasn't easy for you but you still took time off to talk to me, care for me and making me happy. Thank you for making 2016 amazing and thank you for tolerating my craziness. I pray that as we enter our 2nd year when the new year starts, God will bless our relationship and make our hearts pure and clean again. May you excel in your studies and be your own kind of proud. All the best in 2017 and all the other years to come my love. Love you ♥♥♥

♥ This girl who never fail to stand by me, my partner in crime,

Thank you for not changing and thank you for spending time with me each and everytime I come home. Thank you for sticking with me through ups and downs throughout the years we've known each other. Thank you for being the best partner in crime and doing all those crazy things with me. You're very important to me and you already know that.

♥ Before I end this post and close up this last post for the year, I have a few things I must say. 

♥ This year has taught me what true independence was. And I still have to go through another year of living outside of home before I can come back for good. Leaving home is like scraping part of my heart and put it in salt water. It hurts so much to leave home, my parents, the silly one and my close friends. But thank God, this distance not only brought everyone of us closer but it also taught me how to appreciate them more, like extra extra. The distance also taught me how to live and deal with people and solve things on my own. I have no one to depend on so it's either you be strong or you die. And obviously, I chose to be strong because no one can help me if I don't help myself. 

♥ This year has also taught me the differences between temporary people and permanent people. Temporary people are those who you have no choice but to be friends with them because you have to see them daily and you guys are in the same course so same school and shit. Temporary people are also people who don't share the same values as you do, people who don't understand your sarcasm and savageness and people who won't appreciate your kindness. All the things that I've listed above, I've met all of them and they are the same group of people. Permanent people? Simple. The ones back here at home. The ones who are close to my heart and the ones who have went through thick and thin with me. Permanent people to me, are the ones who loves me as I am even if they have already know me to the core. They accept my craziness as it is and still love me. I'm thankful for all the permanent people and temporary people? It's just temporary so why bother? ;)

♥ This year, my greatest joys are being able to come home. Each and every time I completed a train or flight booking, my heart just feels so warm and comfortable. This is living up the saying, 'home is where the heart is'. I thank God for being able to come home to where I'm most comfortable with, my comfort zone. I'm thankful that my coming home is always being welcomed by the people that loves me. 2016 is the year where gratitude is another whole new level. 

♥ Lastly, before I close this post, I just wanna thank each and everyone for helping me when I'm at my lowest and thank you for helping me gain strength when I'm weak. Thank you all for the support and love and care. 2016 wouldn't be this amazing without each and everyone of you. Thank you for all the amazing memories and I wish you guys all the best in the new year and may 2017 be a year full of blessings, love and joy for each and everyone of you, including me :D and also, my dear readers who are still here, whether you still check back or not, thank you for the endless support you guys have shown me in the previous years. Thank you for motivating me to write and thank you for still coming back to read despite the lack of updates. 

♥ THANK YOU ALL FOR AN AMAZING YEAR. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO SO MUCH. ♥♥

♥ I guess this is farewell for now. See you guys again in my 2017's review! HAHAHA! All the best everyone, in whatever you're doing. To you, no matter which part of the world you're in, know that you're truly blessed and loved despite the circumstances. Lots of love, x

♥ Signing off with love and blessings,

Karen xx
