Something I found. I remember those times. But do you?

I've been so busy this year (I went through 'O's half-halfheartedly throughout! But nvm, shall leave the panicking behind) that suddenly being so free during the holidays has warped my time. New Year and countdowns? What? I'm barely done for X'mas! And then poof! its 2010. Kinda suck, cause not only my first 3/4 of the year involved no heavy celebrating, my last 1/4 of the year is mundane as well (No $ for my fav X'mas). But at least mom and dad changed all of our bed mattresses before 2010, excluding Qina, who is currently bathed in sunlight in Barcelona (!) after the cruel winter in London. She'll whine, we know. After buying new bed mattresses, Bet Don, Guel and Kenn will come and test. Hah. And I embrace 2010 - with my eyebrows trimmed. Something so trivial, yes, but I believe in getting my eyebrows trimmed every month now. Its like getting your first manicure. You have to keep doing it to make yourself feel good. Even though sometimes it hurts real bad.

I stay up every New Year's eve but I do remember the beginning of 2009 was rocky. Kept getting sent home the first few days of sch(Can't say I enjoyed it, I missed everyone), However I managed to get in pace - school hours after screwing my body clock in the holidays. And I remember with what. GUNDAM. Was fooling throughout the whole year. Frankly I would have felt very guilty for not putting much effort despite my "VERY VERY IMPT YEAR", as Daddy said. But my Girls! Nad Fana Anis Fil. And my awesome class! "Homework? What homework? O lvl then impt la!!" Stressful it may be however little effort I put, the routine has been taking its toll on me. Wouldn't have made it w/o 4D. And my many friends. I'm lucky cause I have people like Violet. Don. And many more who have went through that phase to give me encouragement. Its strange what left the most impression of school were the bad times. Like getting scolded tgt. I rmb there was a time the usual 5 of us ( Nad Fana Anis Fil Me) made Mdm Pua very angry. Then whole class flunking POA all the time. The skipping of POA lessons (early recess! Mr Silvam is a very nice person, so I really hope 2010 turns very good for him, lol). Then more scolding. Then came Graduation (The gowns, yuck. The rehearsals, yuck. Doing it and resume schooling, yuck. The scroll? Empty. Have to give back school. HARHAR). Staying late everyday, not minding a single bit (unless Time practise,zz) cause we're in our class.The last few weeks of school we start to take lightly after prelims. Being late almost everyday with Anis and Fil. Self-proclaimed breakfast in the canteen even though we are very very late. Last day of school. And who said I'm the most insensitive person? I was the only one who cried while Zhen and Jovin were hugging me. "Aiyo cry for what?Not like cannot see each other forever mah. Still have to come back take 'O' levels leh! Forget need take major GSCE exam liao ah? Still can see us la!" There's so many to write, to type, and they will be my memories to keep. This is a year that I haven't done much celebrating, so many problems but its been really fun at the same time. Very ironic. Its funny of so many happenings this year, all I could think of was school when I'm reflecting on 09. Most of my fatigue came from school! Come to think of it, I would do anything to trade for a day in class with everyone again.

As much as I want this fact to go away, I'll have to take my results soon. Blueh. I know I'll do bad, but I hope not too bad. Where would I go? I bumped into Boss, Yongxin at the usual saloon I go to. And he told me all of his plans for his future. And I was like,...wow. I haven't been thinking. What do I want to achieve in life? What do I want in life? I don't know. I don't. He said I should, or I'll never have the motivation to go on. How do I know?

So.New year resolutions/wishes. I've never done them before.

Basically a selfish list. Feeling kinda sad. My next Bday makes me 17. It doesnt sound right...Still wanting a job, sigh. Like my inspirational diva of a sis says, "Grow up to work, or work to grow up?" How to experience and find an answer to that when I can't even land a job yet?

School's starting for some. Wish them all the best for 2010 - another year of challenges. Especially Celine, Celene, XinYi, Jolin, Valerie, Jamie and KahKhee :) Enjoy schooling life while all of you still can. And I know almost everyone schooling is starting their homework like now. For ppl in upper sec, they know dunnid to do HW liao. Cause normally no ppl check. HAHA.
Alright everyone, brace yourselves for another tough year ahead. Life is a long journey. All the best for the upcoming year. Gonna stay up like I do every year, cause I feel like its still 31 dec till daybreak. *denial* Anyway, its still NY eve afternoon over at Barcelona. Sis says so. 2010's bound to be better. I sincerely hope it does.

Baby bear Nad, you are missed badly by me too. Totally love your new look :) Those are really pretty pictures you took okay? Update more and I hope we do meet up soon. I'm eggcited for the Sentosa trip with the singelettes so you have to go! Whoever said distance doesn't matter, it does. :<

One grain, infinite promise
