5 years since year 13

Jenny, you can't beat me in being a crappy friend lol. I haven't kept in touch with anyone since I left high school.

It's been five years. I can't say anything exciting has happened, but I've sure learnt a lot.

I'm glad I moved to Auckland. Starting afresh is nice. I tried to change myself and become a more outgoing person. It was really hard work, pretending to be outgoing and confident really drained my energy at the end of each day. Now I just accept that I prefer to be anti-social. I doesn't rub well with some, I end up looking bad if I don't want to socialise, but it's better than forcing yourself.

I'm glad you liked all the places you've lived in Jenny ^^ Auckland is really nice. It's warm, the people are nice and friendly, I feel comfortable living among such an ethnically diverse population. France was nice, the buildings are pretty, the fashion is pretty. But too big. I still like Christchurch the best though. It's nice and dry, the shops are literally a two minute drive away, it's where home is, and even though it's a bit boring compared to Auckland, it doesn't matter in the end if you're just going to work.

Hopefully everyone's years have gone well ^^ I always felt happy whenever we had a Burnside get together. Felt almost like old times. ^^

2014 already

Damn. 3 years gone just like that.
Firstly, I want to apologize for being a poor friend. I've been useless at being proactive around catching up, but I equally blame everyone since y'all are so busy!

My past three years:
- Graduated uni but wished I could've kept studying... such a carefree life
- Been working for 2 years now, stressful but rewarding
- Lived in 4 different cities, loved all four
- Stable, happy relationship
- James (some of you may remember my brother) IS TALLER THAN ME ... please refer to the first sentence of this post
- Still trying to exercise ... and failing
- About to head off to the US for some intensive training and basically fast-forward the ageing process ... will post before and after pics.

Please also update so I can feel more adequate as a friend.

BAHAHAHHAHAHAH

I haven't blabed in ages :(

Why you guys no let me blab. T_T

Neglect

People, you've been neglecting your blogs.

Naveen: post something!!!! Please.

Sarah, Jenny, Hayley: you're posts are so deep and profound, I reckon you guys might have a chance of getting 20 out of 20 in philosophy class here.

Me: I have a feeling that my blog is going stale. It that only me? There's nothing new or exciting to blog about now...*big sigh* I can't wait till I go to England. I let you guys know every minute detail =) (that sounds weird...)

My host mum's parents are coming to France next week. Apparantly she's a serious control freak who likes to make harsh and unecessary comments. Yay. Can't wait till she leaves.
