Memories

Looking back on 2009, many pple have called it a difficult and pretty bad year, what with the economy, death of a King (*grabs his crotch*) and what not but not for me. On the contrary, I've actually had one of the most fruitful years of my life! Naturally I can't recall each and every single detail but here's what I can and do remember :)

I finally survived the university's cull at my 4th attempt. Not a lucky number for some but it is to me somehow lol.
I became a much closer fren to some pple whom I'd didn't really expect.
I patched up with an old fren from poly after almost 6 years. Well somewhat I guess lol.
I endured a rough start to my Industrial Attachment and suffered through the entire 6 mths but came out a more experienced worker, earned the respect and trust of the fiercest boss there and became my boss's favourite student =)
I watched the Singapore F1 from track side this year.
I finally met yh face to face after adding her on face book almost a year ago! And we hit it off so well too I must add =)
I passed my ippt without even training for it! And I passed my 2.4km by 3 secs, out of which the last 30 secs was spent sprinting the last 300m!
I finally got to see Liverpool FC again after A DECADE. And I thoroughly enjoyed myself with the ~~girls~~ I mean peeps!

Granted, the ippt was a complete fluke and the attachment period practically alienated me from my friends for 6 whole months save for 1 person (eternally grateful to that) but I can't say I did not benefit from the experience. I only hope that I have done enough to score myself an A. I slogged and sweated blood and went thru a hell no IA student would've needed to go thru just for an attachment so I guess asking for an A wouldn't be too much?

Meeting yh was probably the biggest change in my life for 2009. It went from monotonous to actually having some meaning. People always talk about r/s as finding The One. I'm no Jet Li and I dunno about her being The One but the feeling is good =) She was an outlet for my frustrations and complaints, a companion for my daily 11pm train rides home from the Airport, a friend I could exchange our work problems with and much more. Probably the kindest and nicest soul I've met actually. I may sound over the top but I have my reasons for them.

Surviving the University's cull has got to be the biggest achievement for the year. Getting expelled isn't a nice feeling. Writing an appeal letter to continue for 1 more semester isn't any nicer either. Achieving the grades to get my gpa to 2.01 (I was at 1.86) was definitely a nice feeling =) I'd proved myself wrong, that I could survive in this treacherous environment of course credits' due to Min for her support the whole way =)

Looking on to this new year, I still haven't had much clue what my resolutions will be but for now I guess I'll make do with these off the top of my head..

Balance my studies with my free time better.
Less procrastination and more hard work.
Be more proactive in keeping touch with friends. True friends.
