goodbye 2008, and hello 2009!

happy new year!

hmm, i am not so sure if i want to enter into the year 2009. not that i have the choice, of course.


anw 2008 had been an eventful year...


as i search my short-term memory, in a somewhat chronological order, 2008


- started with anticipation (at the beginning of the year),
- got me feeling about something that i did not feel about before,
- made me feel at a loss of what to do (my dilemma),
- showed me that time flies like the wind (and so do fruit flies like banana),
- taught me that the biggest hurdle in my academic life would be the A levels,
- put my time management skills and priorities to the test,
- saw me busying myself with guitar concert preparations,
- allowed me to spend fun times with stella and wai leng during lap (which i dearly miss),
- teased me a little too much,
- got me feeling very distracted and confused over something,
- gave me 2 As,
- marked the first time (and also the last time) i failed napfa (how i ended up tearing -.-),
- saw me surviving through common tests,
- gave me a sweet, yet not so sweet 18th birthday,
- proved that guitar revolved around my life (june hols),
- made me shut down my blog temporarily,
- elated me with my first formal performance in public (guitar concert!),
- concluded that guitar is the first CCA that i truely belong to (seniors' farewell),
- led up to a disappointment,
- saw me grumbling and lamenting alot about stepping down late due to early prelims,
- caught me loving the library too much,
- tricked me into believing i could forget,
- saw me sitting for prelims,
- gave me mixed feelings during farewell assembly,
- made me study and study and study,
- built up to the ultimate 'A' levels,
- gave me a finally 'free' life,
- had grad night, which was a night worth remembering,
- got me realising that i will miss my beloved class,
- allowed me to go out more often with evelyn,
- gave me the opportunity to do more of my random stuff (haha),
- made me relieve in doing nothing,
- got me thinking that i am a coward,
- gave me a new breakthrough with cycling (lol),
- confirmed what an awesome class i have (christmas bbq),
- accused me of stoning too much (LOL, only sometimes lor),
- made me realise that i need to change,
- saw me welcoming 2009 at home (:


yup, so that's about the highlights of my year. or what that's impt anw. haha. not bad right, can remember all that has happened! haha, if only i had such a superb memory la -.- referred to my archives for reference actually x)

ok, it's time to review my sole new year resolution in 2008. haha yea, i still rmb it :P
from my archives, it says "not to do anything that i'll be regretful of in the future"
hmm, so did i fulfill it?

i figure that it is better not to think about it. afterall, regret is not something that i can gauge well. it's like, you must have a clear knowledge of all the outcomes of the various path you take, before you can truely say which is the best for you. but however, life is not a game; time cannot be reversed, and it cannot be replayed. i can't possibly say that i would be better off if i chose the other option, or if i made a different decision. so, thinking hard whether i am regretting anything or not is pointless. wrong or right decision, i shall just accept it and move on (: no regrets whatever. haha, so that concludes 2008 =D

2009 - a year of uncertainty, freedom and new experiences

it will be a great year no doubt. no longer have to go through school routine. haha x) but then, it means i need to find a job. which sucks, 'cos i haven't found one yet -.- i think i am contributing to singapore's unemployment rate of i dunno how many percent. lol. giving home tuition seems to be the only viable option now. meanwhile, i am still uncertain of which course i want to take in uni. sian.

nvm, on a brighter side, if i don't get a fixed 5 day work week job, it means i can partake in other stuff (: that's part of being free, u noe x) haha. so see how it goes i guess.

ok, new year resolution for 2009:
CHANGE (:

new year wishes:
1) for my family to stay healthy and happy always (:
2) for sarah to get better
3) to remain close to my frens (:
4) to have a great start in uni life!

ok, now i feel abit better about 2009. haha.

i'm sure it will be A HAPPY NEW YEAR! =D
