HAPPY NEW YEAR!Yet another year has gone by, and it’s time for the mandatory year end reflections (oops even though it’s 1st jan 2009 already and by the time i finish it’ll probably 2nd jan)
I guess this year was probably a lot less emotionally charged than last year, with whatever ups and downs mostly resting on the residue of last year’s events. It’s much less of a milestone than last year, because there wasn’t much of a big transition as from secondary school to jc, and the continuous studying throughout the year probably explains the much smaller magnitude of everything, but definitely not the fun (:
Because towards the end of the year, I think I slowly learnt to live and let live, take things as they come, and not let the shitz get me down. And i think just like that, i didn’t allow the unpleasant memories to obscure the joy and the awesomeness of everything else. so despite all the times i've probably said JC SUCKS BOYS SUCK LIFE SUCKS, i think in time to come i'll only remember the retarded fun, the love, the laughter and the friendships that will last maybe not forever but definitely for a long time more.
It’s really hard to believe that jc’s over just like that, but i must say it’s probably been the most eventful two years of my life. It put many things in perspective for me, but i think i still stand strongly by one thing that i said last year - FRIENDS FTW (:
Looking back at my very long yearend entry at the end of 2007, i don’t think i have the energy to write that long a post, but one thing i’m really glad for, is that all the people i listed last year still remain as important to me as ever. And the list grows this year.
TOUCH- for the wonderful friendships that keep me going most of the time
WHAT WOULD I DO WITHOUT ANY ONE OF YOU.
2A2B- TOO AWESOME TOO BEAUTIFUL HAHAHAHHAA sums it all up (: i think we've withstood the test of time and we can probably all safely say our AWESOME and BEAUTIFUL friendship will last till when we're all mothers and trying to pair up our handsome boys and pretty daughters and when we open our stalls in a hub together (:
CLASS- even though this photo is ancient it reminds me of all the nice times and retarded fun that i'll probably miss unknowingly, like the jasper moments, pok's weird outbursts, daryl's very accurate imitations, TOILET TRIPS haha etc.
esp class girls (: even though jolyn is perpetually not in sch, as reflected by this photo.
bw ogls because they're probably the best thing i got from orientation, and unexpected at that because late last year i probably couldnt imagine that i would feel remotely happy during orientation haha
and here's when my favourite cambridge photo just has to make its cameo again HAHA because cambridge never fails to remind me of all things happy (:
THE COUSIN, MUCH LOVE
pok and nicole (:
Next year will definitely be different, what without school and everything, giving us less excuses to see each other. But i guess it’s also when you know who truly means what to you, and i have quite a bit of confidence i’ll still get to see (almost) all of the people above(:
Oh dear i think i’m really feeling a lot less contemplative this year, because i’ve realised the key is to stop thinking so much, and just to live life happily, because whatever will be will be. and no need to think so much la, because unlike the boys, we don't have to go to the army so life ahead seems pretty much like it's going to be an extension of life now.
So i’ll end it with this- this year was probably mostly a year of balances.
because our memory is a wonderful mechanism that allows us to magnify the good and forget the bad, and that's how we manage to get through things
because the people who make you incredibly sad are also the ones who have the capacity to make you tremendously happy
because of the human capacity to hope (:
and i think besides all the fun and craziness of yesterday that made it so awesome, what makes it even more magical, is that it seemed like such a fitting end of 2008, and of jc too.
(will have to make do with this photo i had to kope from daryl's blog, since sharing folders hasnt uploaded everything yet. for better effect, this should actually be the photo with our VEHICLE PASS savior hahaha)That we’ll find a way out, and everything will turn out
