Cause 2011 had been the highlight 

Salam 2012. It's another brand new year for us to create happy moments and cherish whatever that will be coming our way. Of course, new challenges awaits and so hopes and opportunity.

As much as i thought 2011 had been hell, it was something better than 2010. Yes, better. So let's reminiscence what had happened throughout my 2011. My, this may be one of my longest post ever!

January 2011:

I started off my year with a wedding performance at West Coast & it had been great thus far except for the waiting. Yes the waiting made me felt so tired plus i had not eaten the whole day. Oh well, i remembered that pretty well (:

On a good note, Happy First Anniversary to Kak Widuri & Abang Shah.

Then, my dearest best friend received her O level results but sadly, it wasn't that good. She was reluctant and disappointed knowing that her next journey lies in technical institute. It has been a year now and you know what? She have learned to accept the fact and she's been enjoying herself at school. In fact, success is slowly showing herself up. She was appointed in many major areas such as being a Bridge Leader, one of the highest scorer in class, chosen for Batam trip and the recent one was she managed to get herself in for the Vietnam trip! The best part was she got elected to be the Head for School of Applied & Health Science! Now, that is what i called a prestigious achievement. I'm so proud for Fateha! (:

See, ITE was not bad at all. Glad she enjoyed every bit of her school life now.

Followed by my forever-hyper girl, Afiqah Mokhtar, she got enrolled into Innova Junior College but her stories is the opposite. The pressure she felt was worst than sitting for Os. Now, it's her critical second year and she's giving her ultimate best so that she can graduate smoothly. I've not seen her in Azpirasi for quite some times all because of school. See, that is how much time you need to sacrifice as you go higher.

The highlight for the month of January was the opportunity to perform in front of Mr Nathan; Singapore former President. Proud? Indeed! & thanks to who? Era Dance Theater Limited.

February & March 2011:

February and March was more of my relax month of the year, i supposed. Since early February marked my first & grandest event ever, i was caught up with practices since December. To add on to the sweetness, i was elected as a Leader for Youth Contingent. That was one of the biggest responsibilities anyone can give me so far and i executed it well enough. Alhamdulillah. 

The main features for March was Kak Fatin's 20th birthday. If i remember this clearly, it was my first time gathering with best friend's family. Quite a big family i can say yet humble people. Awkward at first but as it goes on, everything seemed fine. 

April 2011:

Apparently, i did not have any beautiful pictures during this month so forgive me on this. Anyway i was never beautiful/pretty/gorgeous. I know you're agreed to this statement. I know i know. Still, it was the MAIN highlight of the year, forever. The month this average sweet looking girl turned 19. Her last teenage year and trust me, i'm not ready to turn 20! Not now, not in the future. I want to remain young! Oh shut the crap Haini. I have to accept the fact that age grows every year :/

Last year was of course something unique and special yet ordinary. Nonetheless, it was another first time to celebrate my birthday with my lovely dance mates and my first time to receive gifts from Cik Asiaton & Busu. Wishes from cousin impacted me a lot last year cause that was indeed the very first time a cousin wish me. I repeat, my first time after 19 years of living. And best friend wants me to be a better cook but i was not there yet. Hehe. So April, that it (:

May & June 2011:

It was a month of accomplishment but first, it was another birthday celebration but this time round, it's Nur Fateha 19th Birthday. Wait, it was a surprise birthday party for her. Like me, it was also her first time celebrated her birthday with Azpirasians and to add some spices to her birthday, our girlfriends were invited as well. It was as merrier as ever. There was a lot of foods to choose from. I was a happy girl whenever i went to her house. I'm pampered with food and frankly, i love it. Hehe!

June marked the end of Karya & Police Week performance at HTA. The different about Karya '11 was Cikgu decided to bring Azpirasi to the next level by performing out from Yew Tee Area. So where was that? It was the first time Azpirasi performed Karya at RP, TRCC. It was indeed a big achievement to a bigger one. Something significant i could say. Additionally, i had my girlfriends who came that day. Isn't that great? But let's not be hypocrite here. Apparently, our friendship didn't last. Something went wrong along the way and i'm not going to share further. Right after Karya, we had HTA. I could remember how tired and rushing we were back then. Yet, another fun-filled memories. 

September 2011:

Selamat Hari Raya! Ok that was months ago. Raya last year was one memorable year. Like what i mentioned on my September post : It was a new beginning. It was totally different from the past celebration because i looked forward to meet cousins i've never met for a very long time. Now, everyone had grown so big and so was i. Last year marked my first year visiting cousin's house and i was much blessed by that, alhamdulillah. I'm glad i was able to reconnect my mum and her siblings back. Well, not all cause we're taking it slowly. Although i had a tough time during August, September brings joy to me. Amer Solehin, he's one of my best moment in 2011. In fact, in the month of September. Adding on to this, i performed for one of the company i've yearn to join and be part of them: Singapore Airlines. 

It was a golden opportunity for me to meet all the stewardess, steward and even pilot on that fabulous night. Not just that, i met with Kak Rahimah Rahim and many known artistes. I even worked together with Kak Wirdani, stewardess of SIA. I personally felt proud and jovial. I may not be able to one but having to perform for and with them? It was just enough (:

Another highlight for this month 'I WAS ON TV'

K-Nite. Heard of it? I believed you did. Yes, my first time on air and it was fantabulous experience. Met new friends and we won in the 'love' theme. Champion okay! :D

Speaking of this, i've yet to receive my Cash Studio VIP Card. Hmmph! 

Nevertheless, it marked another significant day of my life. 

October 2011:

Been wanting to perform at Esplanade and Alhamdulillah, i was given that opportunity once last year. Danced with the seniors had always been great. However, you have to meet to their expectations and at the same time, improve yourself better. So there you go, Esplanade during Pesta Raya (:

October is another special month for Fateha & myself. It was our very first time travelling out from Singapore together, with the accompaniment of Mr Kyle (:

The feeling was indescribable although it was only to Johor Bahru. Went there to watch our seniors in Festival Zapin Nusantara. It was a surprise and yes our surprise worked. That will not be the last, for sure.

Nov & Dec 2011:

The last two month of 2011 was my most hectic and crazy month of the year. I had final year event on the go and at the same time, Serumpun practices to attend. It was madness, really. Well, everything is over. I'm left with memories, a good one perhaps. Nice meeting new people especially Tepak dancers. Thanked Cikgu for giving Amer and myself, the cousin to dance on the same platform (:

To top it of, last year was my 2nd year of school and now, i've graduated from SHRM. 

Thanks for the memories classmates

How did i ended my last few hours of 2011? Dance practice, eat & stay home. HAHAHA! Boring? Okay no. I wasn't feeling that good so better to stay home than making people's life difficult.

As you can see, i did not include July/August post. Simply because July was the start of everything i didn't want it. In simple term, agony. August, the month of Ramadan, i was tested and it crushed me completely. I managed to stay strong although inside me, i was dying. It was not something pleasant to remember and it was not even easy to forget. Despite all the happy and significant moments i had, August impacted me badly and deeply. Well, let's bygone be bygone. All i want for 2012 is a better me, happiness, financially stable & healthy always. Pretty much of a resolutions. 

How do you want yours to be? (:
