My 2007

suddenly feel a sense of motivation to blog aft reading the tags on the board ;p for all readers out there!

its been quite a year.

now that you ask me to recall the happenings of this year...

the first thing that hit my mind is my beloved Ah Gong's death. i can still recall very clearly how the whole funeral went, i can still recall the pain we were all going through. it wasn't easy.. & unknowingly it has been half a year nw.. I was juz browsing through some photos and i saw a pic of Ah Gong holding a turkey. it was taken on Christmas last year.

den, within the next few months, i attended a friend's funeral.

painful, but it was also through that, i got even closer to a well-respected teacher of mine and got back in contact with a few of my sec sch mates. sometimes we all juz need reminder like this to make us treasure things better. isn't tt so?

apart frm these 2 incident, i can't recall any that stole my tears.

i completed the school-period of my diploma and went on with my attachment. it was there where i realised alot more about myself, my abilities, my strengths, my weaknesses. it haven't been easy frm the start, it wasn't too much of me not able to fulfill my work, it was more of me not able to fulfill the expectation of others. a wise man came by and enlightened me with words like this "it is not just doing your best, it is doing what others expect of you" very true and i've been living with this quote.

very glad to say, i'm coping well with it now :) and am have never regretted choosing this company. as much as i do enjoy the working life, i kinda miss sch! chasing projects and rushing datelines.. woo. somehow, i have feel less sense of achievement at work. as an intern, work given are more routine.. lesser decision making.

this year, i managed to get my driving license! driving on the road gives me a sense of.. hmmmm~~~ i dunno whats that right word man. it feels good. Yixian commented that my car isn't juz a car. its really mighty. i remember an occassion, we had to rush Yixian down to SGH cos his dad was admitted to the hospital. it was really late, like 2am. without my little white mighty, we cldn't have made it there at the quickest possible time. we go to many more places den before.. ;) it have never been this fun!

this year, i met Andrew. though it didn't turned out the way we hope it could. everything was for the better. it was nothing as compared as many of my close palz have ever been thru.. amazed, i felt more painful for them den for myself. there wasn't much pain for me.. cos it was a goodbye in exchange for more smiles in time to come. it was thru all that, i realised, im really better of alone..

this year, i realised how important this Usual Bunch of people are to me. Huiyee left for Mexico for 2 months. Eunice left for Vietnam few months back.. its really different juz without one of them. and only they can make me smile like none other. and its only for them, i will give the very very best of myself. i wish i can do that for everyone, but again, if i do that for everyone else.. that wouldn't make them special, den i won't be able to show how special they are to me.

of course, there are many other friends out there whom i really do cherish (u shld knw who u r, yes u!) . but unfortunately, i haven't been spending much time with. dont worry! whenever needed, i'll be here man. no doubt abt it.. i'll do all that to my best ability.

a year with lotsa realisation. realised i dont have much big dreams, realised im really nt that gd. no no, nt that i'm trying to be negative with things here, juz that, as u grow older, u feel "smaller".. im nt sure if there's anyone feeling the same out there! don't worry, i'll be moulding my pathway ! :)

2008, i'll be stepping into my 20s. oh my.. that number is scaring me. it will be a couple of jumps before i start controlling my own finances, suriving on my own and feeding myself. thats kinda scary.. but perhaps, i've been sheltered for too long..

resolutions of 2008? i have them in my mind and i'll keep reminded of them.
simply, let it be better den 2007. every next gotta be better den the last!

and to all out there, greatest blessings for the new yr ahead.
may all the good happen to all!

with much love,
gek :)
