So, 2012 is coming to an end already. Too quickly. And well I would like to sum up this whole year with a post, which just includes everything that I can remember this year. This year, filled with ups and downs, really. Like a roller coaster ride. Some of the ups will be said later on, and one of the downs, is when zhang laoshi left.. but okay. Counting my blessings of year 2012.

1) 10th Leaders for Tomorrow Camp @ Guangzhou!
This. The 7 days in guangzhou when we received training, speaking mostly chinese (but i sucked at speaking chinese), making new friends from CCHMS, saying our group cheers, running, singing songs almost every night.. all those memories. The first ever camp that I had with the SCs for 7 days. Hand washing our own clothes. :') it just gives me memories. It's been half a year since the camp, and I can still remember what we did. Those 7 days of bonding with everyone. Although I should say, I wasn't really all excited for it, but I enjoyed it, every single bit of the camp, and I miss it so much. And my group members: Cindy, Zuyuan, Sheryl, Yongkai, Jodie, Lilian, HuangZheng, Donothan. :) hopefully I didn't miss anyone out. Well although there were np cchms peeps here in my group, I managed to talk to some, like Leon and HoiChing who were in my dining group, with Jasmine and Yazi, and there's Adriel, Roy, Shaun... etc. Well and if there's one thing I miss, it will be the soya bean milk. Yum. 朋友一生一起走,那些日子不再有.♥

2) Sec2 CCA Leaders Camp 2012
Well I enjoyed this camp. :) although I suddenly fell sick on the first day, but I'm so glad I managed to join the next two days. Cycling, trekking, and the very very very hot campfire. Pitching our own tents, for me, its the very first time I pitched a tent. Getting lots, and I mean A LOT of mosquito bites from the pulau ubin mosquitoes. Getting to know others. Like my group mates Felicia, Zining, Jolie, Sofiya, Royii, Trina, Damien, Benson, Junming and Mingde. Had lots of fun with them, from having a lil small bonding session, to everyone having to do pushups together. OH THANKS DAMIEN.

3) Young Teens Retreat '12
The most memorable time with the young teens. I just love the young teens so much. Made new friends like Leah, Sean and Daniel. :) overcome obstacles together, having the time of our lives for the three days with my group members: Theophilia, Leah, Ashley, Joseph, Samuel, Daniel, Justin and....... whoever luh. :P and we also had a sec2s talk on the first night, laughed till I teared. And even talked with the sec1s! Well I'm sure everyone has enjoyed this retreat as much as I do, especially the muah-chees - rolling in the sand. xD And then there was even a whatsapp group. So now, I have 2 whatsapp group for le awesome church friends. One for the sec2s, and one with the sec1s. See what this retreat has done to us! And one amazing thing is that, the following friday, we had dinner. And on sunday, we went cycling. YAY US. Bonded so much omg. Its just such a saddening thing that we have already graduated, moving on into the teens. Sigh. I'm so gonna miss the young teens. Another year more and my fave guys will be joining us in teens!

4) SC CIP trip to West Sumatra
Sumatra. What I'm missing so much right now. It's been exactly a month since this trip. And oh, how much I miss the kids. Their smiles, their playfulness. Interacting with them and all. It was a really great experience, an eye opening trip for all of us, I'm sure even for the sec4s who went to Nepal last year. There were also learning points we brought back to, from CIP and the (almost) daily LOs. Well my group, group 1 is definitely the best and awesomest group hahaha. But one thing I know for sure, we laughed the most because of the group mates. My group mates are just too funny I just HAVE to mention them in my post. Kay soo.... Kelvin and his super super LAME jokes. I mean it. Pogsiew and his.... seriousness? Kaiwen and her manliness, Cindy and her wiggles, KhengQuan and his laopo, Brandon and his autism, Qijian and his unmovable neck, Adam and his planes hahahaha. It was seriously the best time of the year with fellow SCs, we bonded so much through this trip. And I became TANNED.

5) USS
with the funny bunch of people; Jiahui, Hoiching, Leon, Jiliang. All the rides were sooo fun hahah. Awkward at first but who cares. And laughing so much because Leon looks so scared in all the pictures. X) one day I'm gonna go there again manzxc. Mini guangzhou reunion hahaha. And also not forgetting getting soaked. ;)

6) SC Cliqueeeee
The clique makes SC awesomer than we already are! Ehehe. Had lots of fun time with them, during duties in school or outside, briefings, school events, or even random hangouts whatsoever. :) I'm so gladdd that I have the SC clique with me. I enjoy being in the SC because of them. <3 joking around and having fun with them, is what makes SC meetings fun and memorable. YAY FOR CLIQUE! ME, JOEY, JIAHUI, KAIWEN, EUGINA, CINDY, SHERYL, YONGKAI, EECHENG, ZUYUAN, ADAM.

7) DANCERS
So many fun times with them during dance practices! (Except for those hardcore intensive trainings) Laughing so much during practices, dancing with them so that I can forget about everything and anything off my mind. Just that I'm sad we didn't have dance camp this year. Hopefully, we can go Taiwan next year! ^^ and aso had fun during the 2 combined practices at Nanhua this year! :> CCHY ID, JIAYOUS FOR SYF OKAY!  努力笑笑! ♥ may 2013 be our yearr! :D "live to dance, dance to live"

8) VOYAGE!
Grand valse by grade 6 year 2s! Well done peeps. Well I should say that after Voyage, my perspective of ballet has changed. Two concerts and I'm sure we have all done our best, as we have worked so hard since last year December, and worked on our items. The friday rehearsals and countless practices and full dress rehearsals have definitely paid off by the end. Grand valse dancers well done!♥

9) NDP2012
Homaigod. Funfuand fun. Looking retarded in our costume, countless dance practices, rehearsals at the floating platform, becoming slightly tanner after staying in the sun for so long, sweating so much, counting so loudly. So fun! Though our item was screwed. But the most memorable thing, WAS TAKING A PICTURE WITH JOAKIM!!!! OMG AND HE REPLIED MY TWEETS DK HOW MANY TIMES AHHHHH.

10) FFL.
The awesomes bunch of people I met during retreat yay! Hanged out once we went cycling and lunch at ecp, and had almost weekly dinners with them since retreat! Bonded so much, and now the group still spans whatsapp! ♥ love them loadsss. Hahaha and did I mention before my BFF is Nathan? ;) hahaha. Awkward still but yeah. Loads of fun with them and I'll miss them as we move on to the teens. Definitely will find time to spend time with them in 2013.

11) SEC 2 YT BBQ
@ Robbie's! I'll never forget how me and Theophilia made the grass jelly!  hahaha! But it's still nice yo. ;) had fun with them. Potluck dinner, not after we played the water bomb games with them. Me Theo Robbie and Kyla went early to make the water bombs, and we got ourselves wet even before the whole event started! And the water balloons were used up in no time. The guys had to serve us dinner but they didn't!!!! And it was alaso a bonding time for us sec2s, before the holidays start and before we move on to the teens. Having a mini cake AND ICE CREAM fight too! Hahaha!

12) TD'12
A realll exciting td for me cos I was dancing one for ID and one for SC! Although I screwed up ah well. But hey it was really fun! And although the SCs flashmob was a bit fail, but I should say we have done well. Goodjob dancerss! Hahaha I want to perform with SC next year again! :D so fun kay! And it's also like a time for us to bond! :)

13) Christmas

14) 2H'12
DONT STOP CANT STOP. I love the vid manz and I'm gonna miss the crazy moments we spent together as a class, some in cliques and all. I can't say much or I might just tear. Having fun in math class, being the most blessed class in the cohort to have Ms Ang as our math cher!

Going to church countdown tonight! ^^

So all these are what I remembered that has happened this year. I feel so blessed. 2012 is gonna be over soon and we'll be welcoming in 2013. Things will change and I have to adapt to it.
