Dear twenty thirteen, it's been good.
Somewhat, I had a good school year; whether it was the love-hate relationship with biology (not a fan of the ecology unit), or my love for history. I'm loving the fact that I'm saying goodbye to geography & physical education, because quite frankly, my mapping skills nor my coordination is top notch. But I'm entering year 11 & 12, my two final years of high school...
Besides school, I've encountered some of the most amazing experiences;
Becoming a HuffPost Teen blogger
!!!!! is all I can say. I cannot believe that some of my work is being read by many, many people!
Work experience at the hospital
Just a year ago, I applied for my work experience at RMH, not really thinking I'd get the placement (since there are only limited places available to students), but I did! Although it was only for a mere week, it really opened my eyes into the medical world; it makes me want to pursue that dream. However, I'm not sure whether I'll make it, since it is incredibly difficult & competitive to get a placement in med school, I'm going to try my best! If not? That's okay.
Charity work
After all these years, I've finally taken the initiative to do some charity work. I raised over $700 for a baking fundraiser. Half of it goes to the UN's world food programme and Stop the traffik. I also hosted a Girl rising screening at my school!
EUROPE TRIP
Going to Europe; Paris and London has been a long-time dream of mine.
Taylor Swift's concert
I WENT TO T-SWIFTY FOR THE THIRD TIME!
Favourite recipes of 2013?
Green tea ice cream
Brown butter chocolate chunk cookies
I declare it as the BEST chocolate chip recipe ever.

So I don't know about you, but I've had a pretty good year.

The best blueberry muffin recipe I've encountered so far. The streusel is delicious and the muffin itself, very fluffy!
Looks like such a wonderful year! Your Europe trip looks super fabulous -- I went to Europe this year and absolutely fell in love. Those brown butter chocolate chip cookies look phenomenal too! I just bookmarked them!
