2008 has be gr8I got to d8 (lol!)not m8 (duh)I went out during the december holidays at an amazing r8I hope all the times playing dota didn't cause me to degenr8Leaving my friends behind for army I will h8The fun, joy, sadness I had, incommensur8The above poem is mostly nonsense, but one thing's for sure - 2008 has indeed been great. I would think that this year has been my most memorable one yet. Great friends, Great fun, Great stress during the As, Great joy, Great sadness. Everything great all rolled into a single year. What an awesome year.I look back on the year and my heart fills with so much gratitude to God for seeing me through, for providing me with all I could ever ask for. I asked for so much.1. For friends- He gave me more than I could ever ask for. To ethel, serene, Julian, Justin, Mabel, Jabez, Melly, Actro, Joseph, Shawn, joel and many many others. (NO ORDER) I believe that you have all been God given and I thank Him continually for all of you. I was such a loner back then Please puhleaseeeeeee Lord let me grow closer to them during army pleaseeee. 2. For confidence- He gave me confidence. Not confidence such that I'm able to approach any girl and hang out with her (i'm still a noob when it comes to dating and i take forever to say hi to a girl but it doesnt matter I'll be able to do so all in good time, I hope?), but confidence with who I am and what I've become. Im affirmed in my identity, that being a slacker whom everyone thinks is a mugger (walaoo), a nice guy who's easy to talk to I hope and a friend who's always here to lend a helping hand. I may look dao but braces made me look a lot friendlier. I smile more now (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((:3. For my future- God has constantly provided for me where academics are concerned. Thank You Lord for giving me so much, despite my heavy commitments. There were times when stress and tension had a hold on me but God always saw me through. Even as I leave the hustle of JC life, God has continued to provide for me in the form of scholarship interviews. Yeap, I've already been for a couple. GIC wasn't really nice to me but I'm okay with that. THE 31ST OF DECEMBER. Wasn't Good, neither was it bad, but let it not be a precursor of the year to come.Some shoutouts to the people who accompanied me that day.To my dear friend Julian, whom I allowed to wait for 4 hours. I'm so sorry for everything - the frustration you must have felt while you waited. I suckkk. My heart broke when I saw how upset you were, never again will I allow you to wait for 4 hours. Not even a minute. I'll give you one cent for every minute im late aight.To Jabez and Mei, Thank you for celebrating the last day of the year with me. Let the fireworks display be a reflection of your relationship --> EXPLOSIVE AND IMBA. but longer lived than frigging 10minutes. 10 minutes of pleasure for an hour of agony ploughing through human traffic. awesome. To pearlyn, Thank you for being there. You're so funny loooooooool. I thoroughly enjoyed spying on the two of them with you during the Perak trip etc etc.Every new year post is incomplete without some new year resolutions. regardless of whether such resolutions will be kept or not. Hence, I shall list a couple of resolutions that will, hopefully, guide me through the year.Spiritual resolutions1. To read the bible everyday2. To carry memory verses with me through my national service3. To maintain a strong and communicative relationship with God and depend on Him for everything and anything.Other resolutions1. To be a better friend to the people who matter --> A valuable lesson taught me this.2. To be more decisive3. To be less forgetful (number of handphones lost: 7 and counting, number of spectacles lost: 2, number of ipods lost: 0 (I HOPE I NEVER LOSE MY IPOD))4. To be a more confident individualSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, majulah 2009, which translates into onward 2009 I think since majulah Singapura means onward Singapore in malay. The precious moments I have had the privilege of enjoying during 2008, I will cherish forever.See You!
