Happy New Year everyone! xx



I know I'm slightly late on the 2016 post bandwagon, and by late I mean 4 days since New Year but it's all good. So, here's a post dedicated to my 2015.

----------


To sum up my 2015 I'd have to say, stressful but great nonetheless. This is what I guess my 2015 would be condensed into points. 


1. The Hijab 

- In March, I learnt to wear the hijab after attending an Islamic program with foreign Sheikhs and Yasmin Mogahed which was amazing by the way. It's almost been a year and although it was unfortunately but only occasionally filled with doubts about wearing it (as I imagine most girls feel as well), I have made it this far without leaving the house without my hijab. Okay, other than that one time where I went swimming and got my whole head wet after forgetting to take the hijab off and walked up without it but ay, I learnt from my mistakes. 


2.  A broken heart

- Weeks crying and broken hearted were tough but all in all, it's been a lesson learnt and just another part of life that I have to take in whether it still hurts or not. On a brighter note, we're both friends again. I mean, how could we not be though considering the fact that we have and hangout within the same close group of friends.


3. Close friends

- I feel as if this year has brought me closer to my friends than I ever have been in the past years. I rekindled friendships with a couple of different people and I'm happy at how close we have become now compared to the silent-barely-any-eye-contact-phase back then. 



4.  Study groups

- My friends and I spent the last month before our exams going out for study groups. They were a big part of helping me with my studies but I can tell you that I regret not starting it all earlier than we actually did. Group studying are always one of the best ways to learn.


5. Prom

- Oh, dear ol prom night. Our school decided to have it on the Friday before SPM exam starts which was 'great'. However, it was one of the best proms I've been to and seeing that it was my last high school prom, that made it even better. It was a pretty emotional night as well. My classmates and I spent the night crying over our class montage video which was one of the best things I've seen.


6. SPM exams

- These exams were one of the biggest parts of my 2015. I spent months learning, studying, cramming and not to mention, crying, over the preparation for these exams. The feeling of finally putting it behind me was like having a burden lifted off my shoulders. To students who are gong to sit for the exams this year, START STUDYING NOW. My seniors used to say this a lot and sure enough, I took their word for granted and being my lazy procrastinating self, ended up studying during the last 2 months before the exam which of course was a big no-no.



7. Ending school

- Finally saying good bye to my school was bittersweet. On one hand, I finally feel free from the tight schedules and canteen food, whereas on the other hand, it's definitely sad to leave the teachers and friends I've known so well. I've been in the same school for 10 years, all the way from Year 1 up to Year 11 so truthfully, I am pretty attached to that place. Hopefully the school improves even more in the future.

Off topic but I just cried watching an episode of Big Bang Theory on tv. It as the one where Howard's mum passed and Sheldon said "When my dad died, I didn't have any friends to comfort me. You do." and I just asdfghjkl that poor little thing.
