I thought of ending a year first before posting an overview. I divided overviews into two parts initially (actually last year). But now, I don't see the need to do that. I mean.. I feel less repetitive this way. Short and brief, but sweet.
If any of y'all are wondering, this was my last similar post.
School:
Gahahaha! As much as I have had good times, hell can I forget my bad times too! It definitely wasn't a smooth-sailing journey.
School had been a huge roller-coaster ride with several twists and turns. There were huge waves enveloping every year three students; a wave of homework, studies and assigned leadership roles to play. So busy for all. Bet people from my batch will agree on that.
Personally, I wouldn't really call it an absolute "great" year for me. Yes...though this year zoomed pretty fast... I feel like I have experienced a lot. Legitimately expressing more of my inner emotions and thoughts out. Given a chance, I would still do that at certain moments because its good to be honest and frank, and not beating around the bush or whatsoever, right?
I feel that many a time, I get easily drawn away by humans and their attitudes. Despite my attempts to try to stay me...I cannot simply resist hearing what the crowd has to say. But I am thankful...thankful for becoming stronger as an individual and not getting carried away by people eventually. I officially earned that thing on not caring what some people have to say. Hmph them and their ways of voicing out opinions /yawns/. They are free to do whatever they want.
Another thing that worried me was the fact that I took tests/exams in a less serious way. Another influence from somewhere, I assume? Loafed quite a bit. The result? Disappointment. One lesson learned: Keep that balance yo. Don't make it drop tremendously.
Moreover, I always had that feeling of not living up to expectations. Its silly. Now I get it. It is worry that keeps my happy mood down. Some expectations simply leads to disappointments time and time again.
After writing quite a number of 'cons' out, my mind was telling me to neutralize it with something good -- the 'pros'!
Despite all the so-called "negativity" I faced, I do have certain good memories to remember... I was given lots of opportunity to open up this year.
First thing first, a number of leadership positions. One, choir. Two, a presentation for the whole school (almost). Three goes to all other group projects and minor things I have vague memories of. There are times I had to make certain decisions despite disagreements from others.
I made new friends and got closer with some of them... which is also a blessing because they make me feel myself, staying all comfortable and showing my crazy side.
Oh that reminded me... KT and I had fought through tough times together and grew from being little misses into young mature ladies hehehe. Thank you so much bestie for just being there for 3 years now (though both of us knew each other way way back then). I wouldn't have to write 100 paragraphs long for her aye? Because that will make me sound super cheesy. Still... I love, and need her in my life. (Okay, now I sounded like one)
I appreciate all people that came in to play a part in my life... be it lessons learned, or simply enjoying the time spent... THANK YOU!!!
It will be a nonchalant school year next year for all I know.. mainly because it is my so-called "senior" year..
After Os, we will all be going our own ways.
Lets see how it goes!
Outside/Home:
I have had several breakdowns. But everything's alright at this current moment. Learned so much from remarkable quotes, and people during my dark days so... bonus!!
This was my first ever year taking part in events like "Anime Matsuri" or the just recent "AFA (Anime Festival Asia)". Very eye-opening because there were sooo... many people from all backgrounds and cultures, coming together for a certain interest or passion. Woah!
I felt like I am missing out something...
Oh yes! The Malaysia and Myanmar trips! They were magnificent, and all things beautiful. Those trips built me up as a person, opened me to new things I cannot experience in my hometown, Singapore. I got to take back something mentally at the end of the day, which was worth the whole journey. Kudos to me!
Dammit... I cannot forget this point too!! I tried eating healthy ever since...March or somewhere there?? "Healthy" in the sense that I cut down on carbs and sugary/gassy drinks (or don't drink them at all); ate more veggies and fruits instead. Find something nutritious and health benefiting. It did work wonders, because I feel more energized, and happier in some ways. Gotta maintain it! I barely workout though. I want to try make more effort on it by going out each morning/night.

Overall, I learn many things about myself, life and people around me in 2014. This sentence sums up everything, don't you think?
How about your stories humans?
PS. I've got two more upcoming posts for the month, so stay tune lovelies!
