2012

So. I usually do uber long narrative posts. (Thanks for reading them through) But since 2012 is almost a week past, I'll keep this short.

My 2012 in points:

• Went back to being single after about a year

• 2nd for Team Event in Gravical '12 (virgin podium finish, yay!)
• A single pull-up (long-awaited as well :))

• Plenty of suppers and fun times with block mates (tears and joy)

• Supper/Icing party with Juan & Si (yummy fried rice and the occasional expired food kept a little too long in sisi's fridge)

• Hall Queen (photoshoots, interviews and dance practices - definitely a great experience, but alas, I've to leave my bragging rights behind. Throne valid for one year only)
• Managed 4 pull-ups :) (BIG WHOOP!)
• Met Shawn
• Virgin hair-dying

BEFORE

AFTER

• Cut my hair short (for the first time in a decade - see BEFORE & AFTER)
• Ran for TM
• Went for Corrine May's concert @ Gardens by the Bay
• Became attached :)

• Became TM (thanks for all your support JMF)

• Went for TeamNUS Summit at Gopeng (met new friends, did some never-before-done stuff like showering in a water tank, white-water rafted, slept in a recycled greenhouse)

• Was a part of Bouderactive 2012! Emceed and packed them goodie bags

• Went on my final hall experience - OCIP Laos (a whole new world which I terribly miss right now. Renovated a school to the point of going down on all fours to scrub classroom floors and sweep cobwebs. Not before being "hospitalised" and put on IV for 3 hours. Had great fun during RnR in Vang Vieng 
• Korea trip with Mommy and Michelle and Samyee (yet to do the pictures omg.)

• Camps and more camps (arts camp, climbing camp:)) Having new blood in the team :D

• First time going au naturale (bouldering) at Dairy Farm
• Witnessed the team's strength and friendship at the traumatising injuries of RockMaster 2012. (so happy to see both Daryl and Valerie back on the wall)

• Watched not one, but TWO of Gwen's plays. And looking forward to many more to come:)

• Ended the semester with Sports Award

• Family trip to Sydney and Melbourne, Australia

• Counted down with my darling TJCCCCCCCCC legends

I realised this year was a year of adventure. Of many firsts, of spontaneity, of life. I'm glad how the year passed. And here's to 2013 - to more of living every moment and grasping opportunities as they pass. Because life's too short to be afraid and to demand to be in absolute control.
