2013 IN WORDS .

I remember doing something like this for 2012 here, where I also talked about the year as a whole and my hopes for the upcoming new year. Until now I still don't feel it's already 2014, time really flies. 2013 has been a year with ups and downs and I'm glad that it has passed by quickly.

2013 was the year where it was pretty important, having O levels and SYF, probably a hectic year. School was pretty rough,especially in the first half of the year, having to juggle between CCAs, schoolwork and preparations for O levels. I'm pretty thankful for the fact that there are so many kind people around who try and help each other in anyway possible, and I'm thankful for them. There will also definitely be negative people in our lives so it's better to avoid them and not bring them into our life.

All the long practices and extra practice for the SYF was long, tiring and a mental test hah. Having to stand the instructors and conductor's mood and also their requests, I actually dreaded attending practices. Getting nagged at by dingxiaoyan or qufeng isn't really a good thing, although I must say that qufeng is now more gentle ... ? probably after marrying fuyingying hahahah but yeah. Having to take on such an important role in the orchestra, and not wanting to disappoint myself or anyone, I tried to carry out my duties to the best of my abilities, and also asking fellow exco mates to help out. I must say that I didn't really do a good job in leading the orchestra.... probably because I originally lacked in leadership and stuff and that I always had to ask the rest for their opinions as well. I'm always afriad that the choices I make would be wrong and that's maybe one thing I would like to change this year, to be able to be more responsible and confident in myself?

Nevertheless, the orchestra has gotten a certificate of achievement and probably not everyone's ideal award, but at least we did our best right ? I could still remember the tears and gloomy faces on the results day, it's okay guys, we can learnt from it and let's all do well at this year's concert okay ! our first concert !!!

Academic wise, I wished I have done better at O levels, but really, time management is probably a problem. I guess I should have worked harder. All now left is to wait for the results this monday, I really hope it'll be okay, and that I can go into the course I like, praying hard. I'm glad and thankful for the friends who has helped me in anyway. Helping with studies and stuff, you guys are really awesome. Hope our friendship can last for years down the road and it'll be really awesome :) I hope I would be a better person this year, contribute back to society and doing the things I love, be more sociable and manage relationship issues better.

I can't believe it has been like what, a year plus since my grandma has passed on, I actually miss her alot. The times we spent and stuff, regrets and stuff. Why didn't I spend more time with her when she was around. Little things like this actually makes me tear a little inside, I should have been more thoughtful right ? :(

And also, I hope Girls' Generation & EXO get great recognition and awards and also good albums ! 2013 has been a great year for you all, with various worldwide recognition and awards, 2014 will be a better year ! I'll be waiting !

May 2014 be a great year for all :)
