Whoaaa so this is how it feels like to be blogging about your life, epic!! So after meddling with the layout/template theme configuration for like an hour i finally stuck with this simple one that didn't make my blog look like a complete mess :D
So, my first blog post... i guess i'll just talk about my life in 2013!
2013 began on quite an epic note because i was the class IC for a sec 1 class, woots!! The sec 1s were all so funny because they were like lost sheep that have been moved to a new home. Then after that i became an EXCO of the student council (ie. Head Of Liaison), i was actually chosen to be a candidate for the presidential elections, however i dropped out in the end because i thought the whole idea of running a campaign for power was just way too much to handle for me and i personally didn't like it. But it was good, someone took my place in the elections and i eventually still became an EXCO.
Then after that, i was introduced to the disease known as AMATHS and all of its horrors, like from the first lesson i knew that it would be one subject i would develop an intense love-hate relationship with. Why love you ask? Because my teacher for AMaths is just the most animated teachers i have ever seen, plus he loves to spazz about anything math-related, it was the first time i saw such a grown-up fanboy and over math of all things. The hate part is obvious considering the fact that i hate math and science with a burning passion. So yea i sorta failed amath the whole year, i never exactly passed a single amath test since i first started sec 3 and frankly speaking it is an embarrassment since im in a class full of people talented in math and science. :S
Being an EXCO member, you get to plan events, so i just so happened to inherit the lovely job of planning for the council investiture that year. My seniors were the ICs for the whole event but after they stepped down (halfway through the planning and preparation) they sorta threw everything to us newbies who knew absolutely nothing about event planning whatsoever. I don't blame them because being sec 4 is hard BUT i was hoping to get more help than just "Here you go, B.Y.E". And as you probably have figured out by now, the invesiture was a complete wreck: Only one level got to see it, It was boring, It wasn't what everybody had in mind. Hopefully this year's won't be a trainwreck like last year's!!!
Over the course of the year i made a bunch of new friends and some of whom were people i never really knew i would become that close to back in lower sec. These wonderful people include York Tat, Jessmine and Jia Wen. I think it kinda started when me, York Tat and Jessmine were made to sit at the back of the class at the start of the semester and we kinda clicked very quickly, i mean, we formed a band called the Printed Melodies and just kept on jamming to catchy songs all day long! Jia Wen came into the picture because she was already very close to both of them so eventually it became the 4 of us! Wonder when our new single is gonna be officially released though.
After all the drama of end-of-year exams, it was finally time for the holidays and i had really no clue what the hell i was going to do for almost 2 months. I know a lot of my classmates were busy reading up on the sec 4 chapters(too early guys) so there was this pressure on me to actually read my textbooks. NO.NO.NO. I did read in the end though, well, by reading i meant The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, Mockingjay, The Fault In Our Stars, Have A Little Faith, Divergent and Looking For Alaska. hahaha. Also during the holidays i FINALLY updated my music playlist after 84 years of just plain old anime openings/ending themes, and also realised how great house and rock music can actually be like whoa. One thing that i could say made my holiday worthwhile was getting into youtube more often. I began to watch many British youtubers (ie. Zoe Sugg, Alfie Deyes, Marcus Butler, Joe Sugg, Jim Chapman, Tanya Burr, Jack and Finn Harries, Louis Cole) plus Caspar Lee, Tyler Oakley, Troye Sivan, Joey Graceffa, Sawyer Hartman and also Grace Helbig!!! These people really helped me to gain a whole new leash on life and new-found motivation to live my life to the fullest. What a way to end off 2013 eh?
I'm trying to do things differently this year thanks to them: I'm reading books, I actually look forward to PE lessons and playing sports with my classmates, I'm trying to be a lot nicer. But most important of all, I want to take the risk and live without and regret! One lesson i picked up over my youtube-d holiday was to do what you want to do, grab those opportunities that come your way and don't let them slip past you, don't be afraid to walk on the road less travelled, be dauntless.
SO i guess that concludes my first ever blog post, hoping to write at least one blog post every week just for fun!! 2014 is going to be one hell of an exciting year, i can FEEEEEL it :]
