My Review of 2013

It’s December 31, 2013 and tomorrow or at least at 12 midnight tonight 2014 dawns in our lives. I felt that time flied so fast this year, but I know a lot of things happened and it will all become my cherish memories.

I rarely shared my personal life to anybody and I sometimes hesitate to tell my friends and family what happened and what my feelings are. But, today I felt that I should share to you guys what happened to me in this 2013 year, you know like what google and YouTube did. Looking back into the year, picking out one of the best and memorable events of my 2013 life.

On January 2013, when the state I was living in US, was filled with snow, the second term of my high school started. One thing that I remember the most at that time frame was that instead I have JROTC as an elective, I have art. I love art. You could see it clearly in my blog. Although it doesn’t look professional, I love doing it when I have no idea what to do. But, I felt this belonging when I think about JROTC. I know I had no place in the army or in the US, but JROTC changed me. It found my friend that I hang out every day throughout my freshman school year.

So, I decided to go back to JROTC. Even though it is strict and we had to wear uniforms every Tuesday, it doesn’t matter because I have my friend and I know I belong there with the students who have low grades. I’m not sure that I picked the right choice until one day major asked me if I want to be S1. I have no idea what is that at that time until Sergeant told me that S1 is someone who keep up with the Cadets file and all those keeping files in computer stuff. It was an easy job actually but you have to do it with accuracy and come to think of it I have to keep up with about 300 cadets’ files. Many, of course, but it is a sign that my teachers are starting to trust me.

From February to April, it is just school. I remember that I was getting ready with the S1 job. I could feel that my sophomore year was going to be a great year and I cannot wait for it. Of course, there’s the part that my friend will move to somewhere. That was the only sad part for my sophomore next year but I could make new friends now that I had confidence. I was having fun at this time frame. The Interact club was going to help my country and I will be the leader in that project. My parents actually give me a phone that I can use and call people. I don’t really have grand time in tennis though but I made many friends and gain many experiences. Every week it snow. I had an eye on some guy that I had no nothing about. Yes, it was fun and that’s when I feel the high school feeling.  Learn, study, make friends, fall in love, sports, test.

Oh, yes…test. I sometimes have stress about it, but I know I could get it through. May is the month that is full of test. Not just school test but also life test. The school test was fine. I get A’s for all of my subjects and I got 2 for my AP test. I did a mistake in the AP test and I learn from it. I just hope I am not stupid enough of not doing it again. This month was also the month when I get to know that my family and I are moving back to Malaysia. When my mom told us that, I was full of mixed feelings. I am happy that we are going back home, but I was sad that I am going to leave US. I was sad that I never got to get that S1 job. I was sad that I cannot learn more of CCT stuff. I was sad that I cannot continue the best Taekwondo class ever. I was sad that I could never live in the new house that we just moved in.

June dawn. We were packing like crazy because stupid effing Petronas give us so little time to pack. But, it doesn’t matter. We are going home. There’s no place like home.

August to November was nothing but a breeze. The fasting month went and gone. Eid was fun and memorable with new members of the family. I went to the school that I went to when I was Form 1. Nothing change that much. I met some old friends and some new friends. I find someone to crush on and also someone to jealous on. I don’t feel different because there IS a kid like me. You know, moving from another school to this school. In coincidence, she had the same name as mine! The only difference I am not going to take PMR and she will. I miss being different. To be the only one who wears hijab in the class. To be the only one that had such inexplicable name to say. To be the only one who have a name that has a meaning. To be respected and known by teachers.

I have no experience in PMR. You might laugh at this. I am not lucky not to take PMR. I am unlucky. Not to experience was unluckiness.

December. Season Holidays in US. Malaysia…nothing but staying at home and do some chores. I am not excited for the next school year either hate it. I feel bleh. I would like to learn the new stuff, but I need to get myself together. I need to accept reality. I need to find out my approach for the next school year.

PMR results. Congratulations to my very best friend. She got 8 A’s. I felt so happy for her. I felt so happy for everyone that took PMR. I am so happy that they had the courage to take PMR, not like me. A coward.

My 2013 year is and was eventful.  The first year was one of the happiest things in my life. My teachers believing in me had a powerful feeling in me and I really want to thank them to believe in me. As it goes on, it was started to dull me and made me rebellious which is uncommon for me. I want to stay in US, but I know it already change the minute that I left. I am trying my best to accept that I am here in Malaysia, not living in the powerful US anymore. Pray for me… that I could accept this.

Well, that’s pretty long. I hope you guys don’t mind. Here’s a YouTube video that gives a review of 2013. Well, in YouTube anyway, not real life.

Lol...I like this video..

Okay I have a big sense of what's happening around the world. I felt is a sin not to share this to you guys too...although you guys already watch it so many times.

So, how your 2013 look like?

Wish Well Wisher 

Oh...Happy Hew Year People! Hope you like your 2013 year and have a grand time in 2014

Winter! Snow! Holidays!

I know I had not write for a long time. To tell you the truth, I have no idea what to write all this past days, but don't get it wrong. I like to write to you guys because you are one of people that listens to me.

It's December and you know what that means. It's nearly Christmas. Okay, I don't celebrate Christmas, but I like the holiday cheer when I was at Denver. Man, every time I thought about Denver, I felt it like a lifetime ago, but in truth, it's about six months ago. That's fairly long. I felt like all the two years I had been living in Denver was a dream that came true. I felt like I never left Malaysia. 

Anyway, let's talk about Christmas. Or, actually...holidays. I know that are a lot of holidays celebrate in December. A lot...but I only remember Christmas. You know, every time when December hits United States, I could feel the anticipation. Of waiting. People decorate their house. The radios blasting every single Christmas music. The beautiful snow that fall down and shivers our spine. 

Ahh...the snow...One thing I like about snow was the beauty of it. So, beautiful and sparkly. I just want to stare at it all day. If I don't get cold first. I remember I was standing outside with my friend, Jordyn, because we were waiting for my father to pick us up. Then, it started snowing. Most people went inside and so, there are few people left outside. It was quiet, but not the kind of quiet that make you feel lonely. Jordyn shivers beside me, complaining about the cold,  while I stare in wonder at the snowflake that fall down on my jacket. The intricate pattern of the snowflake, the silence, the gently sound of wind...beautiful...just beautiful.

This is one of the time that I stay outside when it is snowing. Oh..I forgot...my crush was there too. Now, that make it more beautiful. The cold didn't bother me at that time.

You must be bored of me talking about snow. But, snow is nature. It is one thing that I think it is beautiful as the stars. I don't know...I don't know...

But, I know one thing. What's December without Christmas Eve? Or, What's December without school holidays? 

Hey, I know one song about winter. Peppermint winter from Owl City. Okay, if you guys don't like Owl City, fine. Just don't say it at my face. I wonder if Owl City mind if I post his song in this Decemberly post.

  

His description of winter was so good. Better than mine actually. 

Happy December! Happy Holidays!
