adieu '08, HOLA 2009!

2008 has been quite a fruitful and memorable year for me.

Stepping into adulthood wasn't merely about elaborate celebrations, freedom and authority.

It also brought along new responsibilities and expectations (both from myself and others).

Standing at 21, i can safely say that i'm still in the process of maturing to be a full-bloom adult.

Like i always lament, time really flies. It really does.

I never knew that my parents have aged tremendously over the years until I had the time to sit down over dinner this holiday and notice the additional wrinkle or grey hair on them.

Sometimes i wonder how much more time do we have together?

Why am i still taking them for granted?

How can i contribute to make the family more loving and peaceful?

Despite the frequent arguments and cold wars, it's needless to emphasize that they remain the centre of my life.

Behind this facade, my greatest fear has always been the fear of losing any of them one day, because i know that the day will def. come, just sooner or later.

Therefore, Thank you papa and mummy for giving me life, for your infinite love, for putting up with my nonsense, for giving me the best of everything, for bringing me up to who i am today. I'm nothing without any of you.

In the course of two-oh-eight, i have also forged priceless friendships. I believe time is the true test of all kinds of relationships and i'm proud to say tat i have weaved strong ones in which i am v.certain the i will keep for life.You guys know who you are yeah :) Thank you my friends for your love and for never failing to be there for me. I'm truly blessed because of you people who are so close to my heart.

I bid farewell to some who i have unintentionally hurt and i sincerely hope that you will move on with something/someone better.

With that, i wanna bid 2008 goodbye and i know that 2009 is my year to continue to shine.

I strive to excel in every aspect of my life and most importantly to graduate smoothly and embark on my career. :*)

The bottomline of my 2009 resolution?

I wanna be a better person, a better daughter and a better friend. I hope to have the courage to step out of my comfort zone and make a difference to other people's lives.

I look forward to another splendid year with less war, less epidemics, better economy, more peace, love and happiness in this world. Most importantly, i wish for good health for my parents and the neverending moo-lahs. haha.

Happy two-oh-nine to all of you.

May the people i love be blessed with the goodness of life :)

With love,
