31.12.08 @ 23:59 to be frank, this is a cumulative entry. why? because it started on 1/12/08 and will slowly build up to the entry seen on 31/12/08. this is to prevent me from forgetting what i'd like to say when i sit down in front of the computer, since that happens rather often. :x this year, 2008, has been a year filled with firsts and mosts (thus far of course) for me. FIRST: -> full time job -> graduation ceremony -> wedding video done -> scolding of irritating children on bus 21 MOST: -> savings -> expensive stuff ~ handphone ~ bag ~ birthday present -> wants/bimbotic year -> spendings in a year but of course, how can a year go by without being thankful for my friends and family? i know i've lost my temper at my family (namely my mom) quite a lot this year, but i guess it's not just the circumstances that caused it, i'm guilty of losing my temper most of the time. maybe my patience is being burnt by the environment. but i have to make sure that i have more patience in future. i admit i haven't been spending enough time with my friends. i don't know how most of them are doing now. i made an effort but it seems like stuff crop up last minute on my side or that there doesn't seem to be a date whereby all of them can make it. it's like what hariani or jerome said, it's not as fun if a piece of the puzzle's missing. i sincerely apologise if i've ever stood any of you up, or be extremely late for outings. i have my reasons, just that i can't say them. like previous year(s), i've always thanked my friends for being there for me. but it seems as if i can't really thank anyone this year. not that they weren't there for me, but that because i spent so little time with them, i don't know how to go about thanking them. they have been there for me, if i choose to let them. but because we don't see one another often, i feel as if i've hidden part of me from them, or that i choose not to let them carry my problems with them. i feel guilty about not opening up to them like i did in the previous year(s). i apologise. my thanks: to my most beloved bmf randy, thank you for being there for me when we were in school, for encouraging me not to blow up during projects. thank you for being there for me even when you were in men island. thank you for being such a marvellous friend. i really appreciate everything you've done, except the suan-isms of course. i'm really thankful for having found a friend like you to make my crappy days so much better. thank you, my most beloved bmf. =) to my beloved fluffy darlings, thanks for being there during the few outings to make me smile and forget all my problems. special thanks to jolene for listening to my complains during my last semester. thanks to qinghui and eden for accompanying me for lunch when i'm at work. without any single one of you, my life would have been an empty and boring place. thank you, my darlings, for adding COLOUR to my life. to all other friends, thanks for just being there. you may not feel that you've affected me, but you have, in your own way. thank you, so much. 2008 has been an eventful year for me. so many things happening, but yet so little that i've shared. and so the life of the wanderer begins what life brings she follows well, this year marks the start of working life. it's as tiring and no-life-able as expected. what to do when work only ends at 6 and i've to wake up at 6am the next day for work. i would definitely love to have more time to go out and meet people. i won't be doing myself any good if i were to stay in this place all the time. metting up with friends, both old and new, make my life more meaningful. work has been a learning process for me. i see all kinds of people here, colleagues or otherwise. i've learnt how to listen and not listen at the same time, or rather i practice selective listening/memory. its not that i don't want to listen, but sometimes things get complicated and its better that i don't. if i say i want to stay here for another few years, that's just me being complacent. because it's a matter of time before i go on to get my degree, and hopefully a masters. and when that happens, i will probably want to move on to bigger things or perhaps, another career. i don't know what my future will be but no matter what i've got to accept it. with that said, hopefully 2009 will be a better year for all. happy new year! =) with love, xoxo |
