2008 for me has been a really tumultuous year. Without a doubt, it's been one long rollercoaster ride. There was so much tears shed this year, so much stress, so much grievance and annoyance, yet at the same time, there was so much laughter, so much fun, so much sun, so much smiles, and definitely a lot, a lot of love and cheers. It has been, without a doubt, the best year I have ever had, in my whole 17 years of existence. 

I had no idea what 2008 had in store for me when I first stepped into it; sure it was exciting, but the anxiety it held, was well, epic. I mean, this year I stepped into a new school; leaving all my memories of Cedar, leaving my old friends, and all the old memories, and even possibly leaving the old me behind for (what I thought of as) a new me. SAJC was sheer fate for me. I had no intention of actually going there - its not as if I've been working my ass off for SA, and neither did I expect myself to be there in the first place. It was something that I had no idea about - I wasn't the most informed when it came to SA, lets just say. But I must say, that coming to SA was one of the best and worst thing that has ever happened to me.

I met a crazy-ass bunch of 25 beautiful people, not to mention the loveliest 3 people whom have made my year so much less horrid than it could've been - the angelfish, the 100/4 and the hk.drama.king! The year has provided me with many opportunities too, such as the PREUseminar (memories I'll never forget) and being the Vice-Captain of Gomes House, with 23 other House councillors - wonderful wonderful wonderful memories of Malaysia, Willy Wonka, and well, everything! And, well, my love, pride and joy, the SAJChorale, providing me with one of the greatest times of my life, especially meeting the 3 gorgeous girls that left me in fits of laughter, all the time.

I am blessed. This year has been really really hard, but I survived it. I'm blessed. Because many worser things could've happened to me, my family, my friends and the people I love and cherish, but they didn't. I am blessed. No matter how many hardships I face, tears I let out, heartaches I feel, I know God has a plan for me; for all of us. I am blessed. 

2009. Oh boy, that's gonna be a hell of an interesting year, as far as I can foresee. Starting new, and starting fresh again - well its gonna be one tough ride, I'm sure. But I hope and pray that it'll be different, in many many good ways, more than bad. I hope that my friendships will stay forever strong; that even though we separate, we stay close together. I hope that I accomplish something this year, that I don't give up, and that I behave becomingly and be myself. That is what matters most, isn't it?

Resolutions? Just a few. We know they're just mindless musings, but eitherway..
