2012: Year in Review

"The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you will see." - Winston Churchill

Good Evening Readers!

I'm blogging twice in a day. Dedication right here guys!  Since there is only a couple of hours left of 2012 I'm going to reflect back on the year that was twenty twelve. This year I was a Senior at QASMT and part of the Class of 2012! I seriously love my cohort and could not have asked for a better group of people to spend my time at QASMT with. 

This year admin decided to be geniuses and changed our timetable where we start with Period 1 and have 'Pauses' where we just stop moving and pause. Anyways, a lot has happened this year and here is a recap of it, in basically no particular order of school events then random events!

QASMT Senior Formal '12

The formal for QASMT was brought forward a term so we could 'focus' on Mocks. Formal is a once in a life time opportunity and it was a very enjoyable experience although the food was a bit terrible. I got my Semi stuff 1/2 hours before and since Formal is more important I got my stuff a day before. LOL. Thank you to Jade's family for holding the pre and Nicole's family for holding the post!

Year 12 Retreat

Year 12 Retreat was a 3 day, 2 night camp and it was so amazing! I loved every single moment of it, and I wouldn't hesitate to go again! The activities that we completed and the battle scars that came with them were completely worth it! So don't even hesitate to go to Year 12 Retreat!

 Bravo!

QASMT Arts Showcase '12

Our Music Captains Eileen and Tim were able to bring back Arts Showcase this year and I'm really glad that they. I swear QA kids are so talented and I'm really glad that they had the opportunity to showcase their talent for us! We were also able to see Harry again! 

Farewell Assembly 

Two weeks before my final exams was the Grade 12 Farewell Assembly! The teacher's item was 'I Come From the Land of IB' and I think it was the best one I've seen by far! It was really great to see the entire school supporting the Seniors of 2012 for the final exams! 

QASMT Graduation '12

Graduation was a day I couldn't not believe that had arrived after 12 years of school! But none the less it was such a great night. I'm really happy to have celebrated end of the International Baccalaureate and High School with my cohort! Thank you to Jade's family for holding our Graduating Party!

And those are my school related highlights! Here are the non-school related ones which including meeting Karise Eden and The Collective 

So these have been some of my favourite moments of 2012. This year has been filled with its ups and downs, but I hope that everyone remembers the good ones and forget the not so good ones! It is the new year tomorrow and I hope that 2013 is a lovely year for everyone!

Happy New Year!

Summer Holiday Update

"Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever." - Mahatma Ghandi 

Good Evening Readers!

The last time I blogged was around two weeks ago, but it seems like its been ages. Anyways I never really blogged about my last week of school apart from the Grade 12 Farewell Assembly, which you can read about here. The last lesson for each subject we just partied and did nothing which was really good. People were signing books, bears and labcoats in classes throughout the week and teachers didn't mind at all. Since I can't remember anything else, here are some photos! 

Maths Party & Ms Gorman's Chocolate Cake! It tasted so good *u*

 Sharleen and Rachel 

Chemistry!

 Ms Townend! 

Okay those photos are from the Last Day of School, lol but thats about it for Last Week of School because I'm too lazy to find more pictures. LOL. Anyways, these holidays have been quite boring. Most of the time I have just been on skyping away with Angel because Trisha went to India for a month. I did go see The Collective at Queen Street Mall with Angel, Maggie, Sharleen and Julie. The Collective were formed during Boot Camp of X Factor and they came third. Their debut single is called Surrender and the music video for it is below.

 Only got photos with Julian and Zach, but it doesn't matter because I saw them all in real life and was within a 1 metre radius of Jayden, Trent and William! And Jayden follows me on twitter!!! Yay. We also saw Joel at Queen Street Mall, it was a day filled with seeing X Factor people!

Starbucks Green Tea Frappuccinos & Polaroids

1000 Piece Masterpiece! 

I also got the iPhone 5 after three weeks of attempting to get it from Virgin but they failed badly because they never had any in stock. I know people say that its not the best phone on the market, but compared to my old phone (Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro) which was a disappointment the iPhone is super duper good! I also got the Otterbox Commuter Series (Grey & White) Case for it. 

Went shopping a couple of days ago with Angel and Trisha at Carindale. I was disappointed with the sales at Cotton On, but every other shop was really good! I couldn't even connect to the wifi at Carindale #firstworldproblems. We ate at Chocolate Pavilion after shopping and ermahgerd, the food was so good! I had the Sizzling Chocolate Brownie and it was the best thing I had eaten all month. Angel ended up using her drink to explain the Menstrual Cycle to Trisha Patricia and I. 

We also got gifts from Trisha Patricia. Thank you!

 

I have been getting in touch with my Hong Kong side because I have become addicted to Hong Kong Dramas ever since watching 'On Call 36 Hours'. I swear it is the Hong Kong Version of Grey's Anatomy, the hospitals even have similar names and the characters even have similar interests. It was like deja vu, sort of. Then Maggie introduced me to 'Tiger Cubs' and I've been obsessed with it ever since. Both dramas were really good except they both killed off characters that I liked. (╯°□°)╯彡┻━┻ Nevertheless, they are both really good dramas. Definitely recommend them!

Anyways because I didn't blog for a while, belated Merry Christmas to everyone! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas spending it with family and friends. 

Also thank you to everyone for helping me with my Nuffnang Ad! And I hope everyone enjoys the last few hours of 2012! Can't believe how fast this year has gone by!
