The Most Memorable Events of 2013
I'm continuing the 'things of 2013' series today by writing about the most memorable events that occurred in 2013. 2013 had some of the most exciting, most saddening events, so it is definitely not a year to forget about.
1. Graduation Dinner, Party and Farewell Concert
Everyone remembers their graduation, well, almost everyone. It's already a very memorable thing, let alone all the ceremonies and souvenirs that ensure that you know that you once graduated. On the night of the grad din, everyone dressed 'prettily', meaning that we'd see each other dressing in beautiful dresses, and we'd go around asking for tons of pictures. The best part? It's a buffet dinner, the food was superb. The party had us listening to farewell songs and speech, although it was boring, but it was memorable. In the farewell concert, we dressed up as feminine men and performed Les Mis songs, which was hilarious but eye-opening. Everything is made more memorable when you feel a strong connection to that school, which is exactly my case.
2. Discovering NANA Anime
You all will be like, what on earth? But frankly speaking, Nana has literally changed my life forever. I used to have these problems leading to sadness, but i couldn't speak or know of them, until i watched Nana i realized that my pride was probably in the way of my happiness. I also found myself understanding Nana, and when I watch it, it just seems as if I'm inside the story and it haunts me. Watching it has helped me with expressing my anger and problems, and it aspires me to work even harder. It is a depressing anime so don't get tricked by the first few episodes :D I understood why in my entire life, i wasn't able to depend on someone fully. It makes me feel as if I'm not alone.

warning: don't skip anything, or you'll end up confused.
3. Outward Bound Camp
Outward Bound was an amazing experience for me. it tortured me a lot but i also felt happy and occupied. the best part was being accompanied by a whole group of schoolmates, since the entire 6th grade went together. at night we'd gossip about everything and sometimes we would have secret midnight parties. even though the activities mortified me, i felt happy to have accomplished so much through pushing personal boundaries. After the camp, we all felt that we bonded more and were more enthusiastic to try new things. The jetty jump scared the heck out of me but I loved it afterwards. I could not have felt better. I think I've grown a lot mentally (and physically :D) in the camp.
4. Revisiting Jeju Island
A year ago, my parents and I went to Jeju Island for the first time and i fell in love with the place. it was so beautiful and surreal that I felt as if i were flying. everything was perfect, the hotel room, the food, the natural wonders... and the hotel was a delicate combination of nature and luxury. I simply could not describe my feelings for the places. this year, even though we had to stay in another hotel, it was still awesome and I still woke up feeling happy every morning. The best part? The endless seafood supply there was just awesome. Not only was there endless supply, the seafood was so fresh and scrumptious that you'll be speechless. At sunset, the place is so stunning and mesmerizing. you'll be stunned. it couldn't be any better. Like seriously. leaving that place kills me inside. and i have an entire video series of the trip on youtube.

5. Entering New School And Meeting New People
Some background info on how my school works: we have a primary school and secondary school, and if you are admitted into the primary school, you are guaranteed a secondary school place. Therefore, many of my classmates are my old friends from junior school, but there are also newcomers, and the number of newcomers is even bigger than the number of junior school graduates.
Entering a new school frightens me, but it is a nice chance to start fresh. I wanted to be a whole new person and forget about the past. I used to hate the newcomers, USED. Some of the amazing new girls have changed my mind. I still will choose junior school girls over the newcomers, since we have a longer period of common 'history' and our cultures are more alike. Sometimes I want to talk about things that happened in junior school, and there's no way that they would understand.
But some of them are really nice, and it just happens that there are only two in our class. They're quite nice, much to my surprise. I had my mind prepared to smack them. One of them *cough cough* even speaks of things that I've been struggling to express for years. It is just amusing. the reason why i didn't hate meeting these people was because they opened my eyes towards more things.
