My Year 2008.
Wah. How time flies and it is the end of 2008. Time really flies and the year 2008 has just passed by like in a flash. It was like yday that it was the first day of 2008.
2008. A significant year for me. So much stuff has happened in my life this year and one which has left a permanent mark in my life.
Thought that I have found the guy of my dreams and would marry the guy whom I had dated back, with the thought that I would wait for him even though he would b working in Taiwan for 2 years. Heh. How foolish I can get only to realize that he has lied to me all this while that we were dating and to have him dump me much later. Guess this is probably my retribution. This had definitely left a scar in my heart that I would remember for pretty much my whole life. A pain that is inflicted so deeply in my heart that I am fearful of falling in love yet again.
My job. Switched to this current job in late Nov 07 but hey aint complaining since it is so much a better place as compared to my old workplace. The peeps here are nice, not saying that peeps at the old place aint nice. They are nice as well, a minority of them. But most importantly my manager is really nice! 
Hm, he is so the new Gen Y boss as he always called himself and it is true. He is really nice to me and since there’s only like 2 of us in the dept, we kinda watched each other’s backs. And the things that I do now are like totally more focused, unlike my old place where everyone does everything. I aint compplaining since it had made me a multi-task person but sometimes the pay just don’t compensate for the whole loads of stuff that I do. So now am definitely much happier at my current job. : ) My boss is great, the job is great, the location is great and the peeps that I work with are great as well! :D
My first media apperance as well! Lolx. My participation in FHM GND 2008, No 68..which I took part for fun and opened my eyes to a totally new experience that I don’t think I would have a chance to experience if I do not participate in the GND! ;P And the new frens whom I have befriended at the event. And me doing a favor for my colleague’s ex-gf by being her Hotbod section in the Sunday Times. Haha..that totally garned me a lot of attention at work and also the nick “hotbod” that stuck to me even till today! @_@ And also me auditioning for the F1 Singtel Grid Girls! Haha..Yesh, I know. I took part for fun and I was not selected but hey it was fun! Haha..:P The whole dream of “being famous” for the year 2008! Ahaha..:P
And YESH! Finally I got my driving license in my first try! YAY! That is definitely something to cheer about! Haha..:P Even though the current objective of getting the license has totally changed from its initial objective! Hee hee ..:P Was pretty worried about having to take my test the 2nd time so YAY! I managed in my first attempt and moreover it is a manual license! So that is a double YAY! No doubt I encountered problems during my lessons but hey I have my fun bunch of instructors there who totally brighten up my 100minutes! Haha..:P Not forgetting the few whos really fierce and weird ones whom I am totally frightened of. Hee hee ;P
And definitely the most accomplisment for the year! My first half marathon! Seriously I have never felt so accomplished in my life before as this! My first 21km and I finished it in about 3 hour 15min or so. Gosh that was definitely something that I would remember for life and the kind of rush and satisifaction that I felt after I finished the run was totally memorable! I would never forgot that kind of feeling! ; ) This is one goal that I have set out to achieve and it was satisfying! ;D
A lot of peeps have come and go into my life for year 2008. Some have brought me joy while some others have brought me woes. Hm. How would I describe? Seriously I do not know. All I can say that these are the peeps that have stepped into my life who have made me a stronger person than before. No doubt they have hurt me in a way or another but hey it only made me stronger. I was definitely hurt when things happened but after a while, I pick up the pieces and move on. Probably it is destined that I have to meet these peeps along the way so that I would grow up and be a stronger person that I am now. Whatever it is, these peeps have definitely left a footprint in my life. Message to these peeps – Thank you for stepping into my life and making me a stronger person than before.
And lastly, the big decision that I have made few days before the year has come to an end. That is my newest baby, my car! That is definitely something that is huge in 2008 also! Hee hee ;P A decision that I have considered for 2 weeks or more, working out my finances etc and finally decided to make the YES decision. : ) Am so definitely towards it. Actually I have already call my baby a HIM. Yesh you have heard it. It is a HIM, not a HER. It is my lao gong. Hee hee ;D
A significant 2008 I must admit. Joys, sorrows, woes, anger, despair, loneliness, sadness, happiness, excitement, exhilaration, satisfaction have all been felt in this whole year. To sum it up, it was a turbulant year for me. It was also a year full of pain for me. Something that I took a long while to get over. That is one footprint that has its permanent spot in my heart which would never be erased with time.
Well, am looking forward to the brand new year ahead. A brand new year for me to start afresh. Where unhappiness shall be abandoned in 2008 while I move forward to the happiness in 2009. : )
