Disclaimer: Did this on 29Dec.

Really cant believe it's the end of the year so soon. RT-ed this tweet some while ago that says "I swear 2012 lasted  3 months" or sth along that line. SO FREAKING TRUE ALRIGHTS.

Well, it's like my habit to do this end of the year thing, was thinking of scrapping it this year but decided I should still be thankful to all the people around me and thank them for everything, at least in my heart. Doesnt matter if they actly see it or not! :)

So yup, shall start off with the good things that happened to me this year.

1. Had a great New Year's Day with JH! (okay basically it was from 12am-1+am)
2. Got into a fantabulous class 5C38 I LOVE YOU GUYS <3
3. Acquainted with 38 clique.
4. 365 days i.e. official one year ;)
5. Played for A'div (so many ups and downs that I learnt so much)
6. Drakon interclass champs + sportscarn champs!
7. Found a dessert that I could bake and make it taste awesome ;)
8. Been closer than ever to the 2H peeps.
9. Been closer than ever to my beloved taokay gang. (GUYS WE NEED TO CHANGE THIS NAME)
10. Gold award for DHS MM Challenge.
11. Went to Australia for MM Challenge.
12. Formed the awesome5!

Well okay, some of those might not be the best to anyone, but they were seriously stuff that made me happy along the way throughout this really tough seniorhigh journey. Especially basketball. :) and ofcourse my dearest.

Hmm, alright let's start.

QIANYUN. deciding to start with you because I figured out I will have never-ending stuff to say, hence I can come back and add in later. so yup. here's all the usual stuff like thanks for always being there for me to talk to, and being a great listener, great friend. it's so heartening to see how we've remained best friends despite being in different secondary schools for the last 4 years, and for the past year being in different education systems, different holiday periods and whatever, we still come together to talk and just a simple breakfast does make me feel like i'm really blessed to have known you :) i'm sorry i'm not the best relationship advisor you can find but i promise you i'll listen if there should be anything that you wanna talk bout. really sorry bout being so unsupportive at the start, but i still wanna defend myself that i was just trying to make sure you wouldn't be hurt or unhappy, so forgive me yeah :) not that i'm not concerned now, you can go tell your boyfriend that he better watch out if he dares to hurt you ;) being around you just makes me feel like i dont have to hide anything because you wont judge, and even if you judge i wont care LOL. and honestly speaking you're the only person that i can be a total bitch around because i can talk about anything under the sky and be a total bitch with the stuff i say and nothing will happen, because most of the time you share the same views HAHAHA. we have so many jokes between us i cant even count them, i mean when they surface then i'll notice if not it's just hidden somewhere in my brain. and thanks for being a huge part of my preparation for JH's birthday earlier this year. :) i cannot ever thank you enough because sometimes i really dont know what i'll do without you. just that it gets pretty annoying to see your face everyday lah because of the present you gave me LOL. and it was nice to spend new year's eve with you because we'll be so busy the coming year i dont even know when will we be free to spend time together again :/ so yup, heres a hugeeeeee THANKYOU for everything that you have done and been for the past 9 years. no matter how annoying you are and how many million times i said that you're annoying , know that noone will ever replace you as my best friend and i will still love you no matter what <3 stay happy and loved and have a great 2013! :)

TAOKAY GANG. okay since im starting w psch and all. I WILL LIST DOWN EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU. from the whatsapp group, and the facebook group, if you not inside too bad.

tyne. altho we arent really THAT close anymore, i'm still glad to know that you're there should i need help or need someone to speak to bout stuff, really sucks that we havent caught up in quite awhile but i'm sure we'll get to talk some time soon :) have a great year! :)

xinyi. never was close to you in the helea days but thankful that we got much closer since last year :') you're a reallyreally great friend to talk to and i still remember you sending me the friendship day note via the school notebox thingy. we MUST fulfill our ECP cycling date okay whether isit after As or what. looking forward to it! :) and yes i will find someone for you ASAP, thanks so much for your help with geog that day :) all the best for your year ahead! :)

rachel. beannnnnnnn i cant even rmb how our beantwin thing started and you're like the only one i call my 'twin' so be honoured. but yep sucks how you're a scholar and we can hardly meet during the hols. but i'm glad to have known and gotten close to you cuz you're seriously on the same wavelength as me most of the time and we can talk about so manymany stuff. thank for always dropping encouragements every now and then when i'm feeling so down. appreciate your presence so much :) hope you have a great year! :)

weiting. WOMAN. we dont talk v often but i know whenever i need you, you'll be there. appreciate how you understand bout so manymany things and like our thursday morning talks every now and then, makes me feel better about alot of things. and i really like how you're able to look at things objectively and give me really sound advice. thanks so much for just being you :) all the best in 2013! :)

ruizheng. cant consider us REALLY close but you're one of the guys im closer to in helea. it's nice to see how we still keep in touch and talk about some random stuff every now and then, plus the fact you're a sports leader hence theres always chances for us to meet and work together. just wanna say that you're a really nice and knowledgeable friend and theres always much to learn form you :) wishing ya all the best w nicolette and in 2013 :)

mingquan. we dont talk much either but just the same i know you're someone i can count on if there is a need for it. thanks for showing your concern thru twitter when i am unhappy or wtv, glad to have been slightly closer to you too :) goodluck for the new year! :)

ervin. it's been awhile. while i may not be fully able to accept the fact that you're gone, just yet, i know you'll always have a special place in my memories :) i have soooo many memories of those stupid jokes of yours that never failed to cheer me up and i think those can be my inspiration from time to time. really miss having your advice esp during this tough time of mine. all i can do is comfort myself thinking  that you're free from pain and sufferings forever :) thanks for being my friend, rmbed your christmas card from last year and you saying that you hope our friendship will be longlasting, ofcourse it will, i'll never forget you :) and rest assured i'll dote on levyn when she enters dhs :) and. here's a song for you :)

5C38. alyssa, cassandra, yuxuan, jiemin, germain, whaitheng, sandy, yihfang, zoe, katherine, alina, shimin, hanzhang, jenghiang, adrian, kaixiang, zhengjun, junyou, benedict, casimir, roy, yixuan, siewwei, ervin. you guys have been the best class i can ask for in seniorhigh. altho we may not be the most well-liked class by the teachers and whoever, i cant deny that yall have been a great source of fun and laughter. i dont care what other people say but i know we all mug hard and play hard, and we'll definitely prove everyone wrong bout us :) jiayou 38 we're definitely on a route to muchmuch more that all of us can achieve.

38CLIQUE. alyssa yuxuan whaitheng yihfang katherine alina. thankful for the 38 clique as well because you girls really make me feel sososoooo comfortable :) glad that the 7 of us came together as a clique because we always have loads of fun being together, being bimbz and extreme time-wasters when changing for PE lessons. and our camwhore sessions and everyth, recesses together etc. really love the company of you girls and those moments have seriously enriched my seniorhigh life so much, hope we'll have an outing soon, the long-forgotten one since before june hols. jiayou lets do so much better in 2013 :)

PW. jiemin shimin casimir yixuan. my DH063! altho we didnt get off to a good start, and a good middle. okay basically we only started working well like 5 days before OP. but i still appreciated this pw experience. given, it wasnt the best i could ask for but it definitely made me learn so much. and well, who says doing majority of the work isnt beneficial? i've definitely grown so much in endurance, tolerance, determination and perseverance (none of you will ever experience cutting 900 words in 2+ horus LOL). oh and not to forget the buffet in buffet town where i completely stuffed myself. thank you guys :)

TEAM. agirls2012. chantalle jiaqi weiwen crystal mingxia amanda christina rachel yvonne ann hunghui. it was an abrupt decision to go back to balling this year after firmly deciding not to last year. i guess i still have that strong affection for the sport and the people in the cca. no matter what happens you girls are always my team and i will always be glad to have been part of the agirls2012, theres no word that can properly describe the adivision experience because it is really not like b or c division. firstly i've never had such draining trainings ever in my entire life, which was partly why i didnt wanna get back to bball. but getting thru adivision made me a much stronger person and made my endurance level increase by a whole lot. and i'm really thankful for a team like mine that is always encouraging because we have been sticking together for so many years. cannot properly explain how thankful i am for this experience. it may not have ended on a good note because we were mere points away from our huge goal for the year, but sometimes it's really not the result that matters but the process. i'm sure all of us have benefitted from this experience. i'm really glad to have jiaolian as our coach because he always gives me chances despite me always disappointing him. but i have definitely grown much as a person thanks to his trainings. and altho i will not be part of agirls2013, dhsbball will always have a special place in my heart and i'm v thankful for all of you :)

AWESOME5. laura mark sebastian terrence. altho we have only been acquainted for a month or so, i feel glad that we really share an affinity and that we are so freakin exercise-crazy because that made us much closer than we would have been :) australia would have been so boring if not for the bunch of you! and i'm sure we'll have an even better year ahead with one another. thanks guys :)

okay now for the people who i'm close to but they arent in any group above!

qihui. hey gal altho we havent been v close as of yet, i still feel thankful knowing that you're there for me and always nice enough to drop a word of kindness to me :) our friendship has been thru so many ups and downs and i'm glad we are now on rather good terms altho we dont really go out and all. i wont forget how when you came to xinyi's place to study earlier this year you even bought me bubbletea to accompany me in my mugging for JCTs :) we have yet to have our catch-up session and i doubt we'll have it anytime soon, probably only after A levels but it's okay, i'll still look forward to it :) really glad for you how you've managed to excel in your art talent and i wish you all the best for 2013! :)

chingying. reeeeeeeally glad to have known you in year2, taking the same bus! or else i wouldnt have chosen to be your tablemate/chairmate in lit and roommate in the UK trip. you're one of my confidants as well and talking to you makes me sort out my thoughts alot because you give me loads of inputs that i probably wouldnt have thought of. it's nice how i only eat at popeyes w you and you only eat at popeyes w me, because when you feel like having popeyes you'll just automatically think of me right ;) HAHA. and after talking to you that day, i really hope things do go fine for you and if theres anything i'm just a text away yeah :) thanks for being the bimbz that willingly offers help whenever i ask for it and esp for geog during the holidays! and i'll always remember that i'm your best ever roommate on dhs school trips ;) jiayou for 2013! :)

eileen. i think you're one of the people i never thought i would've gotten close with and i think it's quite amazing how you tell me so much when we hardly even talked like face to face before. LOL. but it's reallyreally nice talking to you all the time and i know i stll owe you a really long reply but yeah you probably guessed that i got lazy >< and i think it's rather cool how we have pretty similar personalities and still can get along so well, similar other than your spazzings HAHAHA. oh and thanks for letting me rant to you and yep you can still rant to me if theres anything bothering you. dont worry too much bout SH cause i'm sure you'll do fine. looking for ward to see you in drakon! :D all the best in the new year! :)

saving the best for the last! you're last cause i figured if i started with you i'll never get on to other people. ;)

jingheng. pink can lah hor, i'm selfish, take it or leave it ;) 

2012 has been...slightly crazy for both of us hasnt it. i mean, we have had our personal bad moments and everything, and it has been so busy for both of us (at different times) and we havent had much time together. well not as much as last year at least. it's been really hard at times but i know all these will only make us come out stronger :) i'm really thankful for you and i can never stop saying this. i'm glad for every single moment we had together this year and i'm thankful that you've never left my side throughout all my tough moments. i know that recently some of my problems have been making you really worried bout me but let's just not worry too much anymore because it wont do us any good. hmm and please be really honoured because your birthday cake is the first ever cake i've baked, done loads of muffins and cookies but never a full cake. and to add on, it's a cheesecake^^ 2012 has made me given me a lot of first time doing stuff for you, like preparing a picnic? and er. sewing a stuffed animal! and oh making that angel (i've no idea what isit called, craftwork?) for you as well! :) okay moving on, really glad that you have done so well in your studies in 2012 and i'm sincerely proud of you :) despite the fact that i've terrible grades yes. and i'm also glad we've gotten past "that stage that every relationship will go thru" :) hmm, oh and i'm sorry about sacrificing loads and loads of our time together this december hols, as much as you say how studies is more important, i know you're definitely a teeny weeny bit disappointed so i'm really sorry :/ let's do our best in 2013 together yeah and i'll definitely stay by your side no matter what :) I love you <3

[p.s. theres probably stuff that isnt crossing my mind now so i havent said them]

okay so to end off:

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE :D

wishing everyone all the best in the new year ahead! :)
