1 more post to a hundred.
Anyway, a recap of 2008 shall mark this significant 99th post since the day my blog was born(that too was a very memorable day).
Actually I too is at a loss as to what to write for this recap of 2008. Nvm, we shall revisit 2008 a step at a time.
2008 have indeed been a very memorable year for me. Many significant events had happened in this year. It's also the year which made me look at alot of things with a different perspective.
2008, marks the first year which i left secondary school, just like how a small ship eventually have to leave that harbour. Life is indeed hard without this harbour which i relied on for the past 10years of my life. No matter what comes my way, i'm left all alone to deal with the crisis. However, there is always both sides to a coin.
No doubt, the sea is rough, the winds are strong, but after every storm, the sun never fails to rise. There are many "first times" which i experienced in this memorable year. From securing my first job to stepping into a tertiary institution to experience what is deemed by many, a slacker's life. From going to school late and expecting a 15mins grace to staying back in school for days and nights to rush out project deadlines. Looking back, i realised how fast 2008 had flew past me. But did i spend this one year of my life productively? Am i happy with what i had achieved in the past year? Can i look back and confidently say that i have no regrets? Am i happy?
Well, 2008 is indeed a productive year for me, both career wise and academic wise(at least in my opinion, but on the other hand, why should i care about what others think). At the very least, i am able to see the meaning of studying, which i have not been able to for the past four years. Overall, it was a hectic year, but it is fufiling in its own sense.
Achievement wise, there are some(both in work & studies), but i guess its still not enough. As for regrets, there are aplenty i must say, especially when it comes to the air rifle club which i painstakingly brought back to life with my vice captain back then. It really pains me to see it in the current state. It takes years to build up an empire, but days to bring it down. A country without a capable leader is as good as on its way to self destruction. Thats all i have to say, as i am no longer in the position to say anything more than my personal opinions, hopefully the next leader is capable enough to lead the CCA to greater heights.
I shall leave it to you guys to decide if i seem to be happy in your eyes.
Having said that, i felt that the greatest gift which life had installed for me in 2008 is friendship. Due to the new school environment, alot of my friends were no longer in the same school as me, not to mention same class/course. I have no choice but to make new friends, frankly speaking, i generally do not like to make new friends in a totally new environment. It just feels weird. But well, i guess i have no choice back then. I have this wonderful project grouping aka friends during the first semester. And i am really glad that i belonged to such a wonderful group, everything was great, the people, the rapport, the company. But things are abit different this sem, i dunno why, but i'm not intending to find out anyway, sometimes, ignorance is bliss.
It was kindda the same for my work place. Due to all kinds of factors as well as the requirements of my job, i tend to meet alot of new people. And alot of them have since became good friends of mine eversince i left the job to get back to my studies. We still meet up for lunch regularly... And i really feel very comfortable with this bunch of people. I don't feel restrainted when i converse with them, i dunno why but yea, thats how it works. Ok la, i think i should give some credit here, they are namely, Cheryl, SockHwa, Jeremy & Jeanie.
All in all, 2008 is a year whereby i feel that i have matured alot in terms of thinking. It also marks a new phrase of my life. A phrase whereby i'm very clear about the direction which i'm heading and what i really want to achieve in life. Its prehaps also a year whereby i get to know people whom i might have as life-long friends, esp that one always during my exams ask me go coffee bean that one, you know who u r la... Well, for those of you who knew about our rivalry back then, you will not believe it if i were to name him... Actually there is one more of these "life-long" friends in my mind, but i shall keep it to myself for now.
Thats all i have to say for the year of 2008... Lets hope for a better 2009!
