Events.
Such an eventful year, so much to gain, so much to let go. Since the previous posts, so much has happened. So I'll just have a quick update now.
PW has finally ended, the most atrocious subject I've ever taken. It made question a lot. I questioned about my existence and also what I have done in my past life to have an absolutely disgusting and irresponsible group mate. It was a rollercoaster ride with the group and in this rollercoaster ride, accidents do happen. For example, during the ride, one of my disgusting group member fell down from the rollercoaster when the ride was at it's peak. None of us was sad, in fact we do hope that he had dropped out from the very beginning instead.
Enough of PW, another important thing that happened would be I GOT PROMOTED!!! It's really exciting to know that I'll be able to move on to the next year and hurry be done with my current school. Other than that, it's also exciting because my whole class got promoted. Even though I really dislike this one guy from my class, but all is well. Just hope he flunks his exams next year cause he is way too cocky.
Next, I went for the humanities trip to Vietnam with my school. It was an incredible experience, made a bunch of new friends and definitely learnt way more than just humanities. At first I was kind of dreading the trip because the last time I went to Vietnam was with scouts and it was a damn good trip. So I was afraid that this trip will spoil the memory I have with scouts. But, it that didn't happen because it was two different things and with two completely different company. One very amazing thing is that, I went back to the exact same school, whereby 3 years ago with the scouts, we paved the yard of an empty school with cement as part of our CIP project. Now 3 years later, I am back with my school mates, teaching the students and interacting with them in that exact same school. It's a really hard to explain feeling going through me when I went back there. It was definitely nice to see how our small efforts has contributed so much into giving happiness to these bunch of children. And also, through these bunch of children I definitely feel like there are a lot of times whereby I've taken whatever I have for granted. They have so little and yet they feel like it was the world. It is difficult for them to interact with the world outside of their confinement, amongst the mountains. Things like having their pictures taken, can be so interesting for them, whereby most of the time we shun from the camera. It was definitely heartbreaking to see the children standing by the door as we were giving out some of our leftover food as they usually do not have enough food. Even so, they were still such treasure as you could see the bond between them. As one took hold of the food, the others do not snatch it away from him but instead, picked up his spoon for him and hand it back to him. It made me reflect a lot, definitely. And I would really say interacting with these children will be my biggest takeaway from this trip.
Moving on, after I came back, I celebrated my 17th birthday! I finally did what I've always wanted to do. I went to willing hearts to volunteer and help them prepare food for the less fortunate. To be honest I was kind of sad on that day because there was quite a few of my friends who probably felt tired on that day and didn't make it. But it's fine, I understand, I wanted to back out too due to the sweltering weather. Well, at least there are still friends who made it and I am incredibly thankful for them! I was also kind of sad, because it also made me realise that I'm at the age whereby true friends stay and the others will just leave. On that day I was kinda hoping that someone that was once close to me will wish me but it didn't happen. I know it's dumb of me to actually wait for that person, but I just still hold on to that glimpse of hope that, that person will contact me again. Thankfully, at the end of the day, it made me realise that no matter what happens, family will always be there for you. I am incredibly thankful for a family that never cease to support me.
Just when I thought my 17th birthday is gonna end with my family celebrating it for me, the next day something big happens. I went to work with my father because he said he needed help. So I went and he dropped me back at home in the afternoon after everything was done. I was about to prepare for the BBQ in the evening with my friends and juniors when all of a sudden, not really sudden but yeah. I was surprised my JC friends. WHAT. THE. HECK. I was legit surprised because I really didn't expect them to appear. I did suspect that there will be a surprise going on for me because my family members were suspicious since the day I came back from my Vietnam trip. I even checked my father's phone to see if he collaborated with any of my friends because that was what happened 3 years ago, but there was nothing. But I legit didn't think that it will be my JC friends who came from all parts of Singapore and hid in a tiny room to just surprise me. To be honest, I was extremely touched that they put such a thing together for me. Just when I thought my birthdays are gonna be more and more miserable as years go by. I mean not that I mind that my birthdays are gonna be more and more pathetic but there are times whereby I just feel like I'm alone. AIYA I don't know how to put it into words. So, I just wanna put it out there and hopefully they can see this HAHAHA. Thank you friends for coming down from all parts of Singapore just to celebrate my birthday. It doesn't matter whether it's a day late or what, it's really the thought that counts. I don't know what I can do to let you all know that I am incredibly thankful but yes, I am really thankful. Yeah okay thanks bye.
Last highlight, it is the BANGKOK TRIP with my family! It was a short 4D3N trip and it was just chill and great! It was nice to see how my family is expanding with my brother and cousin's significant other joining us for the trip. Can't wait for the day when I can bring my significant other out for a trip with my family!
So, last update before I sign off, Christmas, my favourite holiday will be coming. So that means, my christmas cards have to be sent off soon. Then 2016 will end, which means I have to brace myself for 2017 and what it has in store for me. Yeah so this is the end of year 2016. By that I mean what I have going on in 2016, it's currently 9;57pm, 15th December 2016. Not the end of 2016 yet.
