Happy New Year's Eve!
Today's the day, the last day of 2011 and I've only written 30 chapters for about 6-7 months which is kind of disappointing cause I expected to have written a lot like 50 chapters by now, but it's alright I'll do better next year with more interesting and fun chapters to read about! 2011 has been a good year, filled with good and bad memories but when the clock strikes twelve, it'll be a new year and these memories would be of the past.
So, for this last chapter of the year, I would like to a highlight or summary of things that happened in the year 2011 for me.
January
During the beginning of January this year I was still using onsugar till I stopped during March.
January started out fine for me, if I remembered correctly (I have bad memory). It was the beginning of Sec 4, not much of a big difference from Sec 3 cause I was still learning the usual stuff from Sec 3 except more detailed or more specific or just two or more new chapters to cover for the year. Nothing much went on during this month, it was only till late January when my grandfather got a stroke and was sent to the hospital, that was kind of a new experience when an emergency pops up last minute and we had to rush to the hospital and having lived 16 years, I've never visited a hospital since my birth till this year, so it led me thinking that health is still the most important compared to everything else.
February
February, which was also the beginning of Chinese New Year, the Year of the Rabbit as of 3rd February. Hmm, I would honestly say that this month was a very productive month for me because I was visiting grandfather at the hospital after school everyday, so yeah, so my schedule then was, school, cca/remedial/extra classes, hospital, do homework, sleep early. I still can't believe I was that productive for once in my life! It was also a very quiet Chinese new year for me, I didn't really "celebrate" nor did I do much visiting other than to the hospital and it was also the month where I got to sit on a wheelchair for once (hospital wheelchair) :P and I remember that mom would be too tired to cook by the time we got home so she'll always make me eat at the hospital's food court or have take aways there and the food there were all healthy and there weren't much choices... Valentines Day was also in February, didn't celebrate it with anyone, cause I didn't even have the time to celebrate nor did I have anyone to celebrate with.
March
March was more or less the same as February, busy with school and visiting the hospital. So yeah, nothing much happened during this period of time.
April
Had a switch of hospital for grandfather other than that nothing really much happened too except mugging for Mid Year Exams.
May
Took Mid Year Exams, guessed the result wasn't as what I expected it to be ;x Oh yes! This month was also an important month because it was also the start of ChaptersOfMarcus.blogspot.com without it, there wouldn't be this post today, haha. It was also the month where I got my Lumix Camera!
June
Holiday Period! The holiday was rather short although it was like a month long, took part in the AlphaKidz Programme as a student volunteer! Still miss those kids, if you don't know what I'm talking refer to this post. Other than that was preparing for N Levels, doing up a timetable to manage my time! This month was also the premiere month of "Something Borrowed" great movie.
July
This was an interesting month I guess, cause a lot of things happened in this month. So yeah, I know you can refer to my archives for these but I'm still going to type it out anyway.
- National Youth Business Challenge
- The closure of the railway tracks
- Announcement of Glee The 3D Movie
- Preparation for Prelims and N Levels
- Did my first blog post for N.E.mation 6!
- Took part in Dell's Inspiration Blog Competition
National Youth Business Challenge was different for me this year, instead of a participant, I am a supporter! Took some time to go down to the railway track by the rail mall to take some pictures! A great experience, it isn't like everyday you get a chance to walk on a railway track with lots of other people there too. Found out that Glee was having a 3D Concert Movie, was excited about that to the max. Prepared for N levels and prelims, it was also the beginning of prelims in this month. Sent in my first blog post to Dice Studio for my N.E.mation 6! Ambassador Competition and I also took part in Dell's Inspiration Blog Competition too!
August
In the month of August, after referring to my archives, I took part in the Cars 2 Competition, I also watched my first IMAX 3D Movie, which is Cars 2 too! I also found out that I got selected to be in the Top 8 of N.E.mation 6! Ambassador Competition. Celebrated Ivy's birthday, visited Cold Stone Creamery for the first time and Prelims ended in this month as well. It was also the month I watched Glee The 3D Concert Movie, awesome max!
September
After reviewing all the things that happen this year I start remembering things better! This was the month where I started my N.E.mation journey as an Ambassador, I also visited H&M on the day of it's opening and bought a thing or two and I also had my birthday barbeque during this month, the process of planning and going through the behind the scenes part of creating the birthday barbeque was memorable cause it's not like everyday you get to host a barbeque party, I felt that it was quite successful overall, everyone was happy (I guess). Oh no, how could I forget, this was also the month N Level Social Studies started for me too!
October
October was a very hectic month cause I was doing last minute studying and catching up with all the remedial I've missed and getting all the information and knowledge into my brain immediately cause this was the month of the real N-Level Examinations! Terrifying month. Didn't celebrate Halloween though... N Level was already thrilling enough :D
November
N Level is over but I still have to do a little bit of studying for English and Mother Tongue, I take English O Levels and Chinese Language Basic so yeah they both happen to be in the month of November, I had confident for English though, I kinda predicted the composition topic and when the exam paper came out, the topic was the exact opposite of what I predicted. Chinese Language should be fine I guessed, didn't really had a problem with it at all. After those 2 papers, it was more of relax time for me as I could say I won't be taking another exam till next year. Not to forget continuing my journey as the top three ambassadors of N.E.mation and attending Prom Night!
December
The final month, the final moment, I pretty much guess I love this month the most cause it was mostly having a good rest. I was into my last week of N.E.mation production during the first week of December, attended the wrap up party as well as Dice Studio's own Christmas gathering. I also attended Wicked The Musical! on Christmas Day, there's no other place I rather be on Christmas Day now than the theatre hall :P I also sent Christmas presents to my friends, spent a lot of $. Got my N Level result too, got promoted to Sec 5! & last but not least I'm here typing this post!
Wow, looking back at all these things that happened, it was really a good year for me I guess, I couldn't have asked for more (maybe, but yeah it's been a good year) and all the best for the next one! Have a Happy New Year if you're reading this! :)
