Thursday, 1 January 2009Y

it would be great if time were to pass as quickly as wat it seemed in 2008 when i am in china from feb to july this year.

its another brand new year again, and everything seemed to happen so quickly without me noticing. often, it was only when my birthday finally arrived whereas everyone have celebrated theirs, when it dawned on me that one year has passed, just like that. not that i have failed to accomplish anything or spend it wisely, i do think my 2008 was rather eventful with the following:

1. watched a total of 4 concerts. firstly, david tao's world tour, Angela's live, Lee hom's music tour, and Fahrenheit Fantasy. in which all i have truly enjoyed.

2. participated in a number of volunterring events and of cos leo club activities. it was my first time being involved in marathons, especially the Adidas sundown marathon which is an overnight race. although it was really draining and i can only count myself unlucky to be allocated to the 100 plus drink station, whereby i ended up getting my pants all sticky and dirty(do not wish to be reminded of the details regarding the making, pouring and distributing of the 100 plus drink. developed a phobia towards the drink for a while then). but that aside, volunteering in marathons like this was a very fulfilling experience after all, and i really treasure that volunteering opportunity.

3. HOKKAIDO TRIP with family. 'NICE' is the only word that is simple and straight forward enough to describe everything there. nice food, nice scenery, nice hotspring, nice streets, nice rooms, nice toilets, nice people, nice culture and most importantly, nice family-bonding time. simply nice. and it is definitely a nice and unforgettable trip for me and my family. (:

4. SOCCER CRAZE AND OLYMPIC FEVER. with my already existing and new found sports idols like c.ronaldo, lin dan, liu xiang, micheal phelps, feng tian wei, and zhang yi ning.

5. ETHAN RUAN XIAO TIAN, ZAC EFRON, ZZEN ZHANG AND JOANNE PEH. speaking of idols, i have to introduce my new found idols in the entertainment circle/showbiz this year. ethan and zefron who captivated me with their awesome looks and acting skills in Fated To Love and High School Musical respectively. Zzen and joanne whom i really look up to, as they are so professional in their acting, (i am talking about the successful show Little Nyonya obviously) and of cos zzen is always that handsome and cute (of cos in real person too! )despite him acting as a really despicable character but i still love him. haha and joanne peh whom i started paying attention to only recently. she's seriously a babe! JIAYOU TO ALL MY IDOLS!!!

6. not forgetting RADIO 1003 fight club and 7th birthday bash. to me, it was already a great satisfaction being able to be ON AIR LIVE and stepping into the studio itself to experience live broadcasting over the radio.

7. being the emcee for np parents seminar 08. great experience but..): i can do better..

8. accomplished my task in participating and planning of farewell, welcome party and mid-autumn festival event.

9. survived my first sem of year 2 and is only left with less than 2 months before i bid my last sem of yr 2 goodbye and head for china to start my 'devastating' life there.

10. loss of my grandpa but at the same time gain of kinship. (from cousins, aunts and my own family)

there are still a lot more to recollect but i guess memories, be it good or bad, are meant to be locked up in a discreet corner of my mind and heart, only to be reminisced whenever the nights come and when saturations of thoughts come shoving against each other in my head again.



just to sum up, 2008 was a year with highs and lows, ups and downs, gains and losses, but i learnt a lot along the way. learnt to be stronger, learnt to take things easily, and learnt to think positively no matter the circumstances i am in.
although i still have wishes unfulfilled and goals unachieved, but let them be new targets and resolutions aimed to accomplish and come true in 2009.

besides the cliche wishes like being happy and healthy, i am still sorting out my new year resolutions. perhaps, it is not about what i want to do or hope to complete, but how i am going to work hard to achieve them. but i do have an expectation about myself in 2009, which is to learn to look at things with a wider and broader perspective, and taking things one step at a time, one day at a time one moment at a time.

we do not know what the year ahead has installed for us, but may it be a smooth-sailing and peaceful one for all.

happy new year! (:
