Well,this is the customary post that 99% of bloggers write, regarding how 2009 was like for them. And since i am free( until tomorrow), what better way to past time?
The year 2009 though disastrous for most, has actually been quite a good year for me. i think i will list out what happened during 2009 which made me feel this way. =)
1) I joined a new society, a fun one to boot! Though i deeply regret not joining it during form 1, i am still pleased with how i performed during extra curricular activities. Joining this has taught me to ignore what other people might have to say about a particular subject and just be daring enough to try it out for yourself. I never imagined myself joining the 24 seasons drum team, it was always made to sound like a very very tiring, tough and a 'boys' society. Considering my physique and limited musical abilities, i was seriously doubting how i would fare in such a physically demanding society. Surprisingly, the physical tests were quite ok for me, what actually had me stumped was the discipline and high level of practice one needs to go through in order to catch up. Being LAZY & a HABITUAL PROCRASTINATOR doesn't help much. My performance during society and the boot camp was rather lack lustre and i hope 2010 will give me a chance to redeem myself. =)
2) I improved my purata score by 0.2! A meagre sum, but considering the level of effort i put in, i am considerably pleased though i know there's lots more to work on. ;-)
3) I went TRAVELLING!!!!!!!! after experiencing travel drought for almost 3 years, i am damn happy that i managed to visit 3 countries this year! Maybe i will blog about my travels on another day =) I am praying very very very hard that the year 2010 will give me more opportunity to set foot on foreign soil! There's lots more to see out there and i seriously <3 TRAVELLING. =)
4) I made GREAT FRIENDS!!! all of them have been nothing but supportive, helpful, sincere and fun. I have never been as happy in my whole 8 years of school life=) and never have i encountered such beautiful and gracious human beings, my FRIENDS are what made 2009 one of the BEST YEARS OF MY LIFE.
5) I jogged 5km. For a good cause. And i feel quite proud of myself. ps: i didn't really jog la, it was something like a jog+ walk. ;-) It made me appreciate the beauty of kenny hills ( which where my dream house is located ;-) and it made me feel DAMN GOOD about myself. hehe.
6) I PERFORMED ON STAGE!!! and our performance won 2nd prize!! And this is coming from someone who used to have stage fright.Haven't completely conquered my fear, but don't worry, i will get there soon. =)
7) I pontenged school, i dunno why it makes 2009 awesome, its just something i did which i have never done in secondary school before. They even sent a letter to my house and i had to feign having H1N1 symptoms. ;-)
8) I started on TWITTER!!! Its damn addictive and informative! ,<3 it!!!
9) Last one now....hmm....I learned to appreciate time. coz time just passes so quickly, I started this blog bidding goodbye to year 2008 and now i am doing the same for 2009. A year gone is a year gone, no point brooding about past regrets and things left undone. All we can do is try to right our wrongs, do what we left undone and achieve better things in the year to come.
So even though its a bit overdue, I am officially bidding adios to 2009! May all my dreams come true in the new year ahead! =)
