its the 4th, nearing 5th day of the year alrd.
and my first working day didnt panned out as well as i would have wanted it to be.


i know its kinda late to do this.
but i figure i have to start doing so.


Things that happen to me in 2009

1.I ORD.
-guess its simple enough to understand.army was both a bane and something that i benefitted a lot from.The friends,the good memories, the not so good ones, and the downright horrible ones.
A lot to take in. It made me both a stronger and a weaker person at the same time. Stronger physically, stronger mentally, but emotionally weaker. weaker by A LOT.But thankfully, that would be rectified in the months to come
-to p5:i know you all prolly aint reading this, but im thankful for the times we shared,esp the last 3mths, all the havoc,fun,talks we shared.really appreciate it.shoutouts to jeremy,jason,jesse,samuel,shan wen.

2.Working.
-after a few mths of having temp jobs here and there, i finally got something stable in terms of the work that im doing currently. Initially it was pretty smooth-sailing, but lately, things have turn for the worse, and im pretty amazed by myself, that im still able to be able to be composed amidst all the back-stabbing,bickering,gossiping present, all happening in such a confined environment. do i feel outcast? quite, but in a good way, cause im simply not interested to get myself entrenched in such nonsense. so you can say tt weekdays have been pretty mundane for me. but thankfully with the plans in place, weekdays aint THAT boring.hopefully.

3.W497
-if not for Jason and Kelvin asking me to attend svc tgt with them ard Dec2008, i guess i would prolly never go church anymore.seriously.cuz i dont feel that attached to all things related to church and God there and then.partly due to the time i had with E242, which was bittersweet. W497 felt different.somehow.perhaps maybe when i was with E242, i didnt really have a say in things that will affect me both directly/indirectly.but in W497, at least opinions/concerns/suggestions are shared more freely/openly. I have a great bunch of friends in there [you all know who you are:)] and more to come,which im pretty sure.
-To Estelle,sometimes you have no idea what a wonderful cgl you are to me.for the sms-es,for the rantings,for my nonsense during cgm,im thankful that you managed to both withstand it,as well as reprimanded me in a way which i totally can understand.thank you.
-To Kelvin & Jason,thanks for inviting me there and then.i guess you 2 picked me up when i was going through my toughest time.and for letting me feel not out of place in the cell.And to more guitar lessons in the future.hahaha.and to more soccer matches in the future.
-To Gwen & Kamy,my skpye/msn gang, the late night convos,the meetups,the chats,all the chitterchatter,all are appreciated.really.you 2 have no idea the impact the convos it had on me.and the shopping we had/and will be having in the future.and here's to even more late night skype.
-To Jovy,Kai Ting, you 2 make me feel at least 6 years younger.hahah.but that's true.im pretty surprised that i can managed to click with u 2, thanks to the common interests we've had.im sure 2010 will be a even greater year filled with shopping/baking?/cooking?/gossiping?. hahaha.[the question marks are there on purpose.]
-To Delicia,Puayling,Leibing,im pretty sure the laughter moments will be remembered.haha.2010 will be filled with more of those moments, as well as the "epic fail" ones.ROFLMAO.
-To Ben,Rouping, you 2 know perfectly well what i meant sometimes.HAHAH.and im sure 2010 i will learn more canto! hahah. and ben, thx for the msn convos.

4.Turning 21.
-some may argue 21 is just another number,but to me it signifies the fact that im a full-fledged adult in legal terms.that i can watch "decent" movies.that i can basically do whatever i want.[not entirely].the birthday party was a bash.and thanks to those who came, the presents, and the atmosphere. i really appreciate it.

5.Standard Chartered Marathon.
-i finally achieved it.running 42.195km.but it was more than the t-shirt and the medal.it was abt pure determination,grit,sweat [no tears],contemplation,running,jogging,walking,limping all rolled into that distance.the venue made it bittersweet for me.all the memories flood back.all the potential things happening there started to envisioned inside my mind.it was a struggle for me towards the end, with my knee hurting badly,but thanks to God,i managed to pull through.for me,i came to realize,its nt about the distance,its abt completing the race.and im sure that no matter what race/challenges comes,my God will be there for me.and the t-shirt sadly wasnt as good as the Adidas one,but im still taking it.haha.

6.New/Renewed friendships.
-2009 was a year where i met new friends[fb friends2008:less than 100,fb friends 2009:582 and counting], renewed friendships with certain pple that once mattered to me.i really hope for 1 of them,it can also mean something extra,something else.i really hope/pray/wish for positive things to happen between us.





what am i planning for 2010?
what can i say.it all boils down to 1 word.
seriousness.
