*sigh* 2006... definately a year of change. Eventful in so many ways... Definately the most difficult year to get through. Emotions were definately all over the place. Looking back, I feel so tired.. so worn out.. Feel like I must've aged like 30 years in a mere span of 12 months. The good, the bad, the ugly... definately went through it all.

2oo6
1) Snowboarding for the first time. Had no idea what I was doing, but had a blast anyways. (January)
2) Pictionary^^
3) Peer Teaching
4) Nearly blinded my right eye cuz I'm an idiot, not to mention the world's biggest klutz (still have a minor scar >_<)
5) A close family member went into bankruptcy
6) April 4th. I miss you so much that it hurts. I love you grandma. R.I.P.
7) Skit, Old Montreal, Chinese School Graduation (not to be biased, but we totally kicked ass!!)
8) Found out that a friend I've known since elementary school's recovering from cancer. (still can't believe this happened. Nobody deserves this, and I sincerely wish you the best of everything. You're such a wonderful person, and such a great friend. I know that I've haven't always been there for you, but regardless, you're still very dear to me. I wish you well. xoxo.)
9) At least 2 people whom I've graduated high school with are married. (married!! as in husband-and-wife-and-having-children married!! All I can say is wow... totally speechless...)
10) Finnished CEGEP. Got my diploma for Social Science eventhough I was in the Commerce program (still pretty upset about that. Had I known that this was gonna happen, I would have just taken Social instead. It would have been so much more easier)
11) Got addicted to Nana, and Deathnote.
12) Spent 3 weeks in Hong Kong in July, which is their most humid time of the year. Found out that I can be quite a shopaholic... spent nearly every single dime that I've saved up since high school. Found out that I actually have a lot of relatives, and wowed them all with my fluent cantonese^^. Slept over at my grandmother's house, and Auntie Kitty's place. Played mah-jong with my great-grandaunt and great-grandungle, attempted to play violin with my cousins, had a blast at Disney World and Ocean Park, went antique hunting with Auntie Elaina, ate to my heart's content, haha!
13) Got stranded at the airport as result of a typhoon, so we ended up extending our vacation for nearly 3 weeks. After much debating, we decided to spend our extra time in Australia for 10 days.
14) Sydney - winter, very cold. Seafood paradise!! Never eaten so much seafood in my life!! muhahaha!!! Pelican feeding, cave exploring, plenty of sight seeing..
15) Made it home just in time to start my first semester at Concordia
16) Dawson shooting (thank god my friends are okay)
17) Exam Stress... ended up getting A's so yay me!!
18) Holiday baking - made mini cheesecakes for the first time and they were a huge hit!
19) Boxing Week Shopping
20) Accidentally found out that a very, very close relative of mine might have breast cancer. Been too afraid to ask.

All in all, if it weren't for Hong Kong and Australia, I'd have to say that I've hit an all time low this year. And silly me... I thought that this was gonna be my year too because of 06.06.06. I should have known...
