Ending 2012

*was supposed to post this up before the New Year but since it's 2013 already, I decided to start from scratch*

So 2012 ended pretty quick for me, probably because I had so many things to look forward to.
I'll start off with my 2 weeks in St. Catz for the ORA Summer programme which is still the highlight of my life. It was such an amazing experience and it was worth failing Bio for.
Met so many amazing people over there in St. Catz, some which I know will be great in the future :)

Then two weeks after coming back from UK, I was back in training for the National Cadet and Junior Championship, which was a huge shock for me cause I expected to get a medal for the U-17 category but instead got a bronze for the U-21. Trust me, even my coach didn't see that coming.

Oh right in the middle of it all, Tom Daley won an Olympic Bronze ;) 

But before that, my beloved grandaunt passed away, which brought a dark cloud over my mum's side of the family for quite a while. She was like my second grandmother, always there with her warm smile and her delicious sago pancake. I miss her so much.

For the rest of the year, it was mostly schoolwork and exams. It was my first year as a senior and I was lucky to have survived that. I was so blessed to be in an amazing class for 2012 (SENIOR ONE XIAO!) and I couldn't have asked for a more better class. It sure is sad that we are all separated this year. :(

Oh right, 2012 was also the year of standing in the crowds, screaming and singing along to artists :D So I managed to catch Anthony Neely, Pixie Lott (Thanks so much Heidi!) and also join in the fun at the HitzKK Birthday Invasion (Thanks so much Laura!) and also, I was lucky enough to be invited by my lovely sister to meet Sungha Jung just a few weeks back :)

During the long year-end break, I went to work for 3 weeks, ended up getting paid half than expected, which was a bit unfair considering I did everything my boss asked me to. Oh well, this is the injustice of the underpaid and overworked.

Then it was Caroling season! I had tons of fun caroling with Jude's Hobbits and the CLOW ministry and it totally build up the spirit towards Christmas.

A week before the big day, I flew to Paris for a few nights stay (DISNEYLAND!) and then went back to Oxford where I spent Christmas with my family and London where I finally went to Tower Bridge.
Reached home just in time for the NYE's countdown at grandma's and for the first time in a long time, spent the New Year's with my eccentric family.

All in all, 2012 wasn't as bad as I thought it will be.

Well, 2013, I'd be happy if it was half as good as last year.

Senior One

*I would have put a cool senior photo of me and my gals walking down the hallways like Mean Girls, but sadly, I didn't have my camera with me. Plus, our hallways' too small to walk LIKE A BOSS, so just use your IMAGINATION, like Spongebob did*

2012.

I'm a first year senior. Science Stream.
Well, I got through the first couple of days. I hope I can get through the rest of the year without burning my brain cells. Mr. Wong, my advanced maths teacher, just came out with his expectations for his students. Which are pretty high, considering the fact that he wants 90% of us to get A+ or A1 in our SPM next year and UEC (Senior) after that. He talks very fast too when he teaches.

Maths in Chinese+Ultra Fast Speed=Me no comprendo.

Sighs. I guess I just have to try to comprendo then. It's good that he's okay with students not getting it at first. I guess I'll have to be the annoying always-asking-why student.
Either you'll love me or hate me.

Then, I am your class monitor, so I'd recommend the first choice. :)

2012 Project

I just wanted to do something a little extra.
Starting a whole new blog that isn't talking about my life but about others, in a good way. People who inspire me.

It's still under construction, still rethinking everything, a few knicks here and there, but I am excited!!

It's called "Real Life Glitters". It's not that cheesy... I really like that name. Hey, got a problem, tell it to your shrink! Okay, that was a bit mean, but seriously, it's the only name that I like out of "fairy dusts" "sparkling glitters" "inspirations of the world" and a list long more of really bad names. My mind isn't working right nowadays.

Anyways, really can't wait! Looking for inspirations!
