Gone with the 8, here comes the 9
2008 has breezed past without even me realising much. Like last year, I'm going to do a summary of my year! But first, let's see if I've done what I set out to do last year...
1. Remain optimisticWell, I guess it wasn't that hard. :)2. Continue giving more than 100% in the things I doSimilarly, I guess this have to do with personality. Like they say, a leopard never change its spots. This is natural. :D3. Take initiative to do things that I wantHm... I probably didn't do that much on this, since there wasn't a lot that I wanted?4. Keep my temper under check, especially towards people I loveHa, quite a good job for the first 6 months, 'cos I was away. :X Maybe I should keep my mood under check instead.5. Read moreI finished a few short stories book, in Chinese. But I guess I really didn't try hard enough for this... Unless, of course, if you count journals.6. Speak good words, do good actions, cultivate good thoughtsActions, okay. But I think I scolded more of the f word this year. More so than ever.7. Be generous with my love and spread the goodwillWah, I am generous, but I think I showered them on a few people only! :P
And for the list of major things I did in 2008...
1. I left Singapore for 6 months. 6 months alone in China, Shanghai. It was indeed changing and eye-opening!
2. I experienced an earthquake! Although it was supposed to be a major disaster for the people of Sichuan, but the tremors felt over in Shanghai was enough only to excite and let us experience our first (and hopefully, only and last) earthquake.
3. I saw SNOW! Need I say more?
4. I lost my Ah Gong. :( But he gave me the power to do much more.
5. I learnt to treasure those around me more than ever. The 6 months absence and the loss of my loved one made me care more about those who really matters. Others? They can step aside till I have the time and energy for them.
6. I became a "counsellor". Though I was not involved per se, I was stuck like kaya/jam/melted cheese. Terrible times... >.<>
7. I have wonderful FYP mates! ^^
8. I found someone special! >.<
Overall, the year has been enriching. Life is about winning some and losing others. You gain something, but you also lose something else.
And the wishes for 2009? I don't know! I seem to fare quite badly at coming up with resolutions and wishes. They are too 'practical' and will almost 100% achieved!
On second thoughts, my first big wish will be to get a dream job (and hopefully, with a dream pay too)!
What're your 2009 wishes?
