1.1.14

i feel compelled to make a final post for this year in the last twenty-seven minutes








from skone to limtay; from secondary school to jc otherwise known as an entirely new environment to orientation to being absolutely lost to being schoolmates with hannah to 13s15 to being classmates with jessie to a whole lot of completely hating school life with reasons in addition to workload to forging a blessed friendship with denisenljy (i really don't know how i could have survived this year without her i really really really h8 her from the bottom of my heart to the depths of my being and i couldn't be more glad and thankful that our class isn't disbanding just because that means we are still going to be classmates next year and although i really hate how you always gobble all my food like they belong to you i would never trade you for food, i wouldn't trade having known you for even being in somewhere else other than this school––the only thing i would trade you for maybe is a mbmj/awang bag or jc shoes but that aside i'm glad we met and i'm glad we are friends because i think we get each other and you are my favourite new friend made this year xoxo) to kingdom call camp to rooming with rwong to forging many friendships within limtay which i am also incredibly grateful for to numerous impromptu sleepovers at jessie's with nat joseph josiah to going crazy for promos to studying in church with hannah almost every single day to an impromptu sleepover at rwong's to spending ten hours straight on pw on the night before the wr submission dateline to spending two entire weeks on op rehearsal to feeling extremely pessimistic and scared for op day to being perked and excited to finally being able to breathe to rwong crashing my school to basically skipping the entire last week of school just because to ministry to

there is only so much words can express and there is only so much time i have left with this post. time check 11:47 i have twelve minutes, twelve minutes to compress three hundred and sixty-five days succinctly a post. i distinctly remember saying in june that the word for this year would be 'bittersweet' and i still think it true. i don't think i have ever felt worse in school, academics and more, but neither have i had more enjoyable times or maybe let us just say that people like limtay and denisenjly put the sweet in bittersweet and they are people of my twenty-thirteen (and longer) that i want to remember always

on the night of christmas (eve) i said how i feel like with every christmas i lose more––while i still think it to be true, i feel like i can't complain this year because i have been blessed so much more with what i have lost, and tell me that it is all too soon to say good but i really feel like the people i have liked lots in this year, we could be invincible. as much as i have hated this year i have loved it. while i cannot wait for this year to end i don't want it to end. i try my best not to choke on myself––each time i think about it ending a lump bubbles up in my throat. i guess it is possible to miss a moment before it even ends, as i so often have this year. aside from the fact that i could cringe at just the prospect of the coming twenty-fourteen, this year has been good, a little too good for letting go, in a sense i think that i have learnt and experienced quite a bit but, time check, 11:59, it is finally time to keep them all in a glass jar. time indeed is a capsule in which we are all in, travelling through life by

here we go, twenty-fourteen
