Goodbye 2008 - Hello 2009

Its the first day of 2009 and it could not have started any worst then what happened just awhile ago while I was on the way back after celebrating new years day with my friends. I'll explain it later but for now let's have to look at the year that was 2008.

My 2008 was best remembered as the year where I learned and experienced lots of new stuffs. It was also a roller coaster year for me with lots of ups and downs but I guess thats what makes life so interesting. Now, some of the things I learned would be solving a Rubik's Cube, making jellies, dance a lil bit of Salsa, and also how to play the lion dance (will not go into details). On the other hand, there were great memories that is still fresh in my mind after having a look back at some of the photos that were taken. One of the best would be watching Chelsea LIVE in a football match. I could categorize it as one of the best moments in my life as well. Some other better experiences would be participating in a runway modeling in college where I fluke-ingly got 2nd runners-up, getting 2nd runners-up (again) in the college basketball competition and performing in a promo for Jay Chou's movie (although the crowd was terrible). Worst experience? hmm... Its a tough one but I'll have to go for the one where my house was broken in on the eve of chinese new year and my room was ransacked by the IDIOTS. Luckily for me, my big ang pau's and valueble stuff wasn't taken. I guess the thieves are just plain dumb and stupid. Furthermore, it was also the most stressful year I ever had where personal problems and study workload pushed me to the edge. Anyways, these are all memories of 2008 but I'm actually looking forward to 2009.

Speaking of which, 2009 for me went off to a horrible start. I almost had an accident while driving back home in the early hours of 2009 (just an hour ago, time now is 4.20 AM). This car opposite of me was actually driving across my lane and almost knocked me heads-on. I was really lucky to actually noticed right at the very last moment and managed to avoid it or else god knows where I would be by now. The only damage taken was the driver's side mirrors which amazingly only had its mirrors broken. No scraches and cave-ins were found.

As for the year of 2009 itself, my prediction will be that this year would be a great year of changes for me. First off, I'm (most probably, if nothing unusual happens) gonna graduate middle of this year and would be heading to the corporate world. This would probably mean no more late nights and no more lazying around for me anymore. Besides, I'm also very VERY determined to build myself up physically and mentally as well. Not to forget, I will need to look more mature and neat now so no more overgrowned hair and no more teenager-like fashions. Lastly, I would also be hoping that if I could get a good job and salary, I could sponsor for my very own car as I would really like the freedom to roam around without having to get permission from my parents.

Finally, I'll wish everyone a lovely, peaceful and joyful year of 2009 and have the most memorable, wonderful and beutiful year yet.
