When darkness turns to light, it ends tonight.

It's the time of the year again. The last post of the year where you reflect back what you did in the past 12 months, the people you met, what happened with the people you've known for quite some time now, the gigs, the bands you've seen, the sleepovers and all that tiny little details where maybe to some people it was insignificant and easily forgotten but to you it's the exact opposite.

The last post I've blogged about in the old blog was the Snow Patrol show. It was good. Barricade, proper concert with the sister and all. Since then I have seen We Are The In Crowd, We The Kings, Bill Beckett, The Wanted, Jonas Brothers and Hot Chelle Rae. Before that I've seen Foster The People, Simple Plan, Panic! At The Disco, The Maine, We Are The In Crowd, All Time Low and of course, Snow Patrol. All in all, I went for 8 concerts and 2 showcases. I also met 4 out of the 13 bands I saw. Not bad for someone living in Malaysia yeah? They were definitely the highlight of my year. Best show I went for would most definitely be the All Time Low show in London. I anticipated it since July of 2011 and it was exactly how I pictured it and more. My trip to London was the best thing that has ever happened to me. I don't think I would ever get another opportunity like that in the near future but of course, I still hope I would.

I met so many rad people this year. From the people I met at the Hopeless meet up to my classmates in college, I'm glad I met you guys :') Yes Nurul, you fall in the "classmate in college" category even though you're not my classmate. You're my ikan bismillah and thanks for the times you made tea for me when I was all stressed ass for finals, the sleepovers in my room because I don't have a room mate now and I'm all alone up there, all the shit ass funny jokes (intentionally and unintentionally) that left us both breathless with laughter at 4 in the morning and just generally helping me ever since I met you hug huuuugs. Rach for still being here after everything, all the laughter and those golden moments you've brought in my life :') Aby for always listening to me rant about nothing and everything, laughing at all the stupid shit I did and just being there in my twitter mentions and whatsapp. Fran for always being there. Nisha for never leaving my side all these years. Farah for always making me feel like we're still kids screaming to each other and hitting each other till we leave marks on our skin. Jake for being Jake HAHAH. Karen for making me laugh like hell in class and threatening to beat up the people that made me sad :') Annie and Kitty for being the nice friends they are. Lohwie, Kath, Laina, Ely, Sone and basically every single person I met this year and known all these years okay? Thank you :) <3 Oh and also my family because family is everything. Love love love.

I don't believe in new year's resolutions anymore. What's the point in listing all the things you want to change in your life but not putting in effort to actually make the change? Just because it's the "new year" we should "make a difference". In the end it flops anyway. 89% of the time. If you are serious about your resolutions then it's good for you :) In my opinion, we should "make a difference" everyday. Without reasons of it being the new year and whatnot. I know what I should change. Study more, stop thinking and wasting time on things that would in the end bring me nothing but disappointment, be nicer to my little sister, give more, learn to say no.. but the thing is, I tell myself all this every single day. Do you get my drift? Somehow I think I lost a point or two in my little rant hahah but anyways, bottom line is, be a good person every day. That's it. Not because it's in your resolution list, be nice for a few months and then get back to your old ways somewhere along the way.

I don't know what to expect next year. Like every other end of the year, I know what to expect, ya know? Now I'm just blank. It's a weird feeling. Last year's new year's eve, I sent my sister to the airport after not sleeping the whole night with both of my sisters laughing to funny youtube videos, sleeping during the day, parents went to Johor for a wedding. This year, I choked on a plastic hook and swallowed it whilst skyping Nurul at 3am, slept at 5am, woke up at 3pm, lazed around, preparing myself for another uneventful new year's eve when Rach asked me if I want to go to Loh's place :) it was a good night and I'm glad I spent it with them <3

Hope your new year's eve's all fun and dandy :D HAPPY NEW YEAR XO

A little appropriate, no? Well to me it is so too bad :p
