Eighteen, Nineteen. Saying goodbye to nineteen in a couple of hours and hello to twenty. Who I am, as of 8th August 2014:

• I'm still using too many "I"s in my sentences
• And I'm probably on the cusp of something new
• Still with the giant glasses... 3/5 years completed!
• Side shave + my hair's halfway down my back, finally
• I have a total of six piercings now
• I don't really know what else to write... maybe this tradition is dying out early
• I'm in my degree year of college
• And it's terrifying because it's one more year till work, but at the same time I'm so tired of studying I don't know if I should feel relieved instead
• I'm finally learning to drive
• And I don't have a job yet (as usual)
• Though I did have an internship earlier this year, making cake of all things
• I haven't been too big a spendthrift this year, thankfully
• I finally have an iPhone though
• And I've actually started getting more clothes than books
• This is a big achievement
• Oh, and lots of awesome stuff did happen when I was nineteen
• Paper featured me tons of times
• And Vienna Teng commissioned me to do art for her!
• And I'm going to meet her in a few days time when she performs in KL... still can't believe it, argh
• I also roadtripped through New Zealand in December
• And opened myself up to change instead of resisting it
• God's really been helping me with so many issues and emotional problems I've been having over the years
• This is the happiest and most stable I've been in a very long time
• As usual, this first week of August has been full of quiet, hopeful moments, lovely things, and good conversations in cafes with friends
• I'm really running out of things to write
• Maybe it's because of all Ps. Prince's teachings about not being too introspective
• And that's something I've learned a lot about: introspection is dangerous
• So maybe fifty points is too much
• And the start of twenty will find me living it out, not looking back and looking too much inward.
• I'll be okay.
