last day of 08...

last year today i spent it at home doing work. this year, i spent it resting and trying to get over the fact that work is starting soon. 09 will be exciting.. hopefully it'll be exciting good and not bad.. 08 has been good for me, i must say. mostly highs, but the one low made it very sad

highs
1. the trip to states was great. never tot i would be there so soon. it was excellent. still feel it was all a dream...
2. the hk trip was enriching. although i'm in my p's bad books because of it, it was gratifying for me and fufilled my dream of going to work overseas. haha.. maybe next time will go and work for a longer time. who knows? one day i hope to..
3. i took out my braces.. but i just lost my retainers. need to make new ones. heard it's really ex. haiz. damn. so careless of me..
4. i bought a bicycle and then sold it. haha.. i didn't get to use it. ;p
5. made the big decision to get a flat and managed to get one at a good location.. it's only on the third floor but ok lah.. oh supposed to email hdb to ask to get the flat as early as possible.. hmm..
6. passed my exams and made it to the last sem at unisim. i'm alreadi planning to go study other things after the degree. tot of doing graphic design. haha.. crazy..
7. i passed my driving test in 3 months! that was definitely a high. yippeee.. but i must admit i was prouder of myself when i passed my class 2b riding test!

low
1. the passing of Angeline. still rem the moment i got the call, how i drove like mad to the hospital, got stopped by the TP on the way to check if i used legal off-peak car coupon, how it hurt to watch her lie in bed with all the tubes and how painful it was to watch her breathe her last, saying a silent goodbye while watching her devastated parents and relatives cry their hearts out losing the one they loved so much... it was really too much to bear. wat happened that day is still fresh in my mind..

in 09, i hope things will be ok.. keeping my fingers crossed..

i meant to do work today.. but realli tired.. hmm.. maybe tom... i just dun feel like doing to work...

give myself a break... :)
