and so it is 2009.(quite anti climax only post on the day after the first day of the year.FAIL! haha)

well it's been a long time since i've written in here. and by write i mean like proper proper writing and not like posting pictures and songs up and like stupid point form entries haha.

2008 was quite a special year for me..a year of many firsts..a year of many lasts(hopefully) and a year of new beginnings and a year of unfortunate/fortunate endings. i daresay 2008 has had a major impact on me. i think differently and sort my thoughts out in a different manner. i'm not sure it this is what they mean by maturing but i like this change because i feel that this change will make me a better person.

looking back on 2008, i feel that i have accomplished alot of things i never actually set out to achieve ( i don't believe in new year resolutions see). i have completed the national service chapter of my life, and hopefully it ends there in ocs - i got my reservist unit but i don't really have an appointment see:) the next part of my life will naturally be my tertiary studies. still not so sure of what i should do but we'll leave that to another time. in the mean time i should be working at ocbc up till just before i enroll. (i just came back from the interview and i think it went well) as such, my short term goals from now till i start uni, is to -

1. not get fired
2. go for my holiday in australia
3. train consistently
4. compete in more races
5. learn to drive

and i guess for the rest of 2009 i will be in uni and i bet that time period from aug to dec will pass super fast so i won't really have much goals to set for myself. i don't know what to expect and i shall not anyway. but i do know i wanna start playing squash in uni again. it is such an awesome game. period.

on a side note, i'll be going for stars concert with ethel and her classmates next wed! yay how exciting haha although i don't exactly know anyone else but oh wells we got like some balcony seats where like the whole booth is gonna belong to us so yea it'll be pretty awesome.

anyway, i was looking through and sorting my drawers a few weeks back and i found so many things i kinda forgot was there like a PARANG! haha seriously. and like i had this few black notebooks where i penned down my thoughts when i had just enlisted and was bored in tekong. it was quite interesting to see what i was thinking about while i was there. there was this particular entry i remember writing while waiting for my turn to go fire the rifle at the range. i was going on about what would happen if everyone single person in china were to make a jump at the exact same time. all one point don't know how many billion of them were to jump at the same time - will the earth be shifted slightly out of its axis? and if that were to happen, will we just spiral out of the sun's gravity and like float off into the universe and ultimately die cos the earth will freeze over? (okay if my physics like theories are flawed in any way pls pardon me.i was in army.haha)

and then i found out that i had quite alot of letters in my drawers and i had just put them into different piles. i spent christmas eve sorting those letters out and reading them again and putting them all in order in a nice corner of my drawer. it was nice to re-read those letters with such warm and comforting (and also funny) letters from so many friends. however it also reminded me of all the friends i had lost contact with. i had a strong urge to call up one of my primary school classmates and wish him merry christmas but i don't know why i didn't do it in the end.damn. i don't know if i will ever get down to calling him again.

oh yea speaking of which, 2008 was also a special year to me because i had made quite a few close friends that i am sure i will keep for a lonnnggg time. also, i had renewed lost(temporarily) friendships that meant alot to me this year:)

i hope 2009 will be just as much an awesome year as 2008; for me and for all of you:)
