Yeah, 2016 sucked for me, and it had nothing to do with the elections either.

Yeah that bit was just a blip on the radar for my friends. I had a hard time talking to them because I wasn't used to being the one with the good news and it made me really uncomfortable.

I was banned from the Jacksonville Beach Pier for life for getting into a fist fight with a seagull in 2016. Proudest moment of my life that is.

As for talking about the worst years... 2010 was the worst for me. I participated in the opening ceremony for YOG 2010 (Youth Olympic Games).

Ohhh... BOY. First off, me and my family moved houses and because of the countless number of rehearsals, I could not help them out. My parents were the only ones doing it because back then, my brother was too young and he did help, but it's not enough. They need their elder son (i.e. me) to do it.

But guess where this fucko went? To YOG! Almost every single day I have to stay there until 10-11 PM, and one time until 3-4 AM.

Was it worth it? No... not really. We got the tickets for Universal Studios Singapore, which was pretty new back then, BUT they mixed up the times! "Please come back at night," after making us wait for 2-3 hours, maybe.

I didn't go back.

-----

2011 was a recovery period, 2012 was the best year of my life, even with O Levels around.

2013 was meh, 2014 was fucking stress-fest with A Levels, but the December holidays made it worthwhile going to Bagan. 2015, beginning of my conscript, 2016-2017 are fun but boring, 2018 is exciting in the university, 2019 was fun with the summer holidays... and 2020, you know how it's like.

The seagull had a gang backing it, two other seagulls got into the fight before the JBP removed me from the pier. It's like Officer Krupke from West Side Story, siding with the Seagulls against the immigrant.

It's funny that you say 2012 was a great year for you, because it was me as well, and for quite a few people I know as well. Perhaps all of the goodwill and awesomeness got concentrated into that one year and now the rest of the decade was running on fumes? :p

Err.... I throw water. I was part of the ring, and we have this plastic shovel thingy that we are supposed to scoop and throw around at each other, while fixated in that seating/squatting position. We also get drums and lightsticks, and light tubes to form the ring, and to make a lot of noise. :P

Yeah, ironically for a year that was supposed to end... 2012 was excellent! ^^

I know cats usually hate that, but the only thing I can think of whenever I see a cat, is to ask the owners if the cat likes a belly rub. :3
