Another year gone...

Another year is to pass and like every year people say "let next year be better" or "Thank god this year is over, it was the worst" etc. but really every year has it's up and it's down, although I understand for wishing for something better though. This year for me has been pretty good although like always there were problems here and there. I'm not completely sure where to start my reminiscence of this year. Like every single year I don't want this year to pass and as cliche as it sounds I never want to grow up. I am not quite sure why every year I'm so hesitant of a new year, I don't understand why I never want another year to past. Maybe it's because I don't like the idea of change or maybe I'm having a pre-mid-life crisis haha.

Well, my year started off with going to the New Year's eve fireworks in the city with Winnie, John, David, Anton, Bill and Nick also I was on the phone with Paolo. I remember we were walking to the station and every station we passed was like closed so we had to walk to town hall from circular quay and it was the most tiring start ever but it was quite fun. Walking around late at night or early in the morning with people screaming "Happy New Year" and being with friends and the drunk idiots walking around was quite funny. I went home and well slept. 

There were so many things that happened in the middle of the year. Year 11 was quite a big year for me, there was so much work to be down and for once I had to study to get good marks so I guess it stressed me out. I got closer to a few people but also grew further away from some. I remember dreading waking up so early to go to school, laughing, smiling, crying, complaining about feo to every single person I could and picking fights with him and talking behind his back and ignoring him and of course trying to get rid of him (no luck yet but hopefully next year), to be frank I don't remember much of what happened only some. I remember crying because it was the end of Harry Potter and watching all those videos of their speeches. I remember the days I spent with my close friends; going out with Winnie like a billion times, city with Nilasi, HP7 with Aivee and Paolo, Therese's house "party," spending my day with Paolo and so many more where I cherished a part of the year with the people I love. I remember camp, it was actually quite fun, commando was hilarious and the giant swing was LOVE. Joining the debating team and getting our arses kicked although we did win 1 out of 3 which is pretty good for a new team. Learning so many new things, getting closer with my teachers and learning so many things from my subjects. The Luna Park excursion was extremely fun, running around and trying to go on as many rides as we could which only ended us in being extremely sick on the way home. Frankly, I can't list everything out even though I want too. However, this year has not been completely perfect. I had many reasons to cry, I remember the days where I didn't want to go school or see anyone, I got angry and frustrated but...

This year will have a near perfect ending... 
The last month I had was filled with much love from the people around me. Paolo and I had our first year anniversary, where we spent the day(a week later because of assessments) at his house and it was only just us two as simple as it is I wouldn't have had it any other way. I went city with Winnie and we walked around for ages and completely got lost (first week of holidays [Thursday]), finishing the school year which was a relief (besides the fact of redoing eco assessment), Christmas Eve dinner, Christmas day lunch and the last day of the year? I spent it with Paolo where we had a proper date; trekking it to the city, going to a "cafe," him teaching me how to play pool, walking all the way to Pancakes On The Rocks and stuffing ourselves, taking photos in a photobooth because we're cute n' dat, playing a weird Jap drumming game and when we were about to go home...we decided to meet up with Winnie, David, John, Anton and Bill where we played a bit of pool. However, I had to go home since rents wouldn't let me go watch the fireworks but no regrets because it looked bad anyways hehe. Then I got to eat pho :) Furthermore, it will probably completely end with me and Paolo on the phone watching the fireworks on the television. :) 

In conclusion, I had a wonderful start and a beautiful ending to this year where it will end with a smile and 2012 will start with one. I have learnt a million things this year, I had my share of pros and cons, I have become stronger, experienced more things, losing friends but gaining closer friends and well it has been a great year but I guess it is time for a new year :)

2012 will bring different experiences, different feelings, different outcomes. It is a start of something different and hopefully something better because everyone deserves the best. I hope 2012 will be a beautiful, wonderful and lovely year.
