"The human heart is a strange vessel. Love and hatred can exist side by side."
- Scott WesterfeldProbably the last post before I leave for Taiwan @ Hong Kong, which also means the last post of 2009. :D Burnt my little finger in the afternoon (popped the blister after that, so it hurts like mad when I press on that spot now, heee) so I'm typing the
Felicia style now. :D (One finger and one letter at a time hahahah.) Speaking of which, blackblack, you should be back from Japan by now, right? :D Missed you!
Okay, time for a little reflection on 2009. :D (Although it's a little early, but doesn't matter.) :D 2009 has been, on the whole, a pretty awesome year. I gained new friendships, lost some, maintained quite a few and rebuilt some. I had my fair share of setbacks this year too, and through all that, I feel that I've become more matured. :D 2009 has been a rather eventful year. I'm grateful for everyone who has helped and been there for me and blah. :D Almost like a drama serial, friends came and went, some stayed, some left. It was a pretty good year despite of many stuff actually, it's like I'm contradicting myself now. There were definitely a lot of problems, some resolved, some left unsolved, some i have no idea what happened to. :D
A few highlights this year would definitely be settling in a totally new class after having spent two years in 2L. I still remembered how awkward the first day was for both me and blackblack, we were totally sitting side by side, desperately trying to open up more to each other by thinking of random stuff to say. :D Hahah. But I don't think it'll be the same during the first day of school next year eh. :D Haven't went crazy with you for ages already lahhh. And then we met Xinni, Sue-Ann, Taylin, Jean, Mag, who turned out really nice and crazy to be with also. :D Amazing how one year of nonsense and fun ended so very quickly, definitely looking forward to another year with 3L. :D Heee.
Being selected as Volleyball CCA Leader this year didn't turn out as satisfying as I thought it would have been. It made me look back and think, and then realize how childish I was a year ago to have made such a big fuss of things a year ago. If we could turn time back, I promise you, Joycee, I wouldn't have reacted the way I did in the past, promisee. Hahah. Still, I may not be the best CCA leader nor captain, but I'm trying my best, definitely, and I'm hoping it's enough to see that we at least get something for coach and for us next year. :D I've definitely gotten closer to most of the team mates this year too, and I'm glad we managed to get along fine with the year 2s in B div, when we hardly even talked to them last year. It's nice seeing the team improving gradually every training too, loveee b div '10. :D
Studies have proven to be pretty okay this year, although I know I could have done better. :D Next year is only gonna get tougher and tougher, but as I know that as long as I focus, things will turn out okay. :D
This is a little early too, but,
HAPPY SWEET 15 JOYCE AND GEN! :DYou two have been really awesome people to be around with this whole year. :D I'm sorry I can't and won't be there to spend the most important day of the year (hahahah as quoted by Gen) with you both, but I know that you two will have fun, right. :D Enjoy yourselves, and have a great year ahead! :D
Merry Christmas in advance too! :DOkay lastly, overseas from the 23rd - 31st. :DAm gonna miss the team (I'm sorry I won't be @ trainings with you all this week & the week after), blackblackk (Urgh I'm leaving once you get backkk), sotong, Poopy (You'd probably be too preoccupied w/ him to even think abt me, but yeah I'll miss you heh. Have fun.)
:D
