Finally, 2009's approaching and 2008's fading away. The memories of this year was definitely a wonderful one. It's impossible to summarize up all experiences and memories i've collected this year into just a few paragraphs. There were simply too much. There were sweet ones, bitter ones, hard ones and simple ones. I've made new friends, kept the old and cherish each one of them. I stayed out of fights, stopped talking bad about people unless of course they messed around with me first! I just cant let that go ya know? I will forever mess them back. I dunno. I guess that's just the way i am? But of course it really depends on the situation.
I've finally joined interact. The club i have always been wanting to join ever since form 2. I made it to the position of a director and doing something i love which is photography. I've met and made friends with professionals and people who are dealing with business and clients and public relations. I've parasailed. I've learn to not depends too much on others and in the end of the day i can only really depend on myself and my family. I've learned to not judge others and stay away from unwanetd things although they can be really tempting. I've learned that no matter what happens, i will always need my family.
This year, i had a snake on me over my body for the first time. This year, i went to iscep for the first time and was amazed at how they made tradisional dancing so interesting. This year, i passed with a merit with 3 marks away from distinction although my previous piano teacher kept telling me i'll fail and in the end made me quit and hate piano. (for a moment) but then i went back to my old teacher just 2 weeks before exam. This year, i made friends vary from different continents and countries. Thsi year, i involved myself with community services and cleaning up beaches projects. This year, i'm part of a group that is called earth saviours and which one of our projects reached daily express and was published in it. This year, i became more closer to my camera and had a few photoshooting. Well more than last yr lah. This year, was the first time i wear heels in almost everything or everywhere i go. This year, i voluntered in joining a few competitions in school which is EAK and EPPDA which is really rare cause i hate participating in school competitions. This year, was the first time i'm really getting serious in a relationship. It's my longest one ever. Today will be our 2 years anniversary:) I love you hubby. This year was the first time i went to various parties and especially a party like Student Fellowship Night. This year was the first time i got number 10 since form 1. This year i've been moving houses 3 times. This year, was the first time i walked from home to school and vice versa. This year was the first time i voluntered in joining Australia Mathematics Competition. This year was the first time a group of girls (my girls) pushed me and carried me and dropped me into the pool. This year was my first time meeting amrita in i think 5 to 7 years? She lives in the US. This year was the first time i spend about close to 1k for a birthday party. (which i felt was not even worth it). This year was the first time i made friends with orphans and children who lives in the orphanage and still am keeping in touch with them. This year was the first time i experienced death in my close friend's family member, closest family member actually. Her mom. This year was the first time i attended a chinese funeral. This year was the first time i stepped back into my house even when it was under construction for the past 4 years. This year was the first time i dealt with so many professional people from organising an event to being their own personal photographer to drafting batiks and glass decor designs. This year was the first time i met and talked to farhana in 4 years ever since primary 6! This year was the first time i've felt english was so hard as if i'm solving add maths question!
There you go. Well as i'm typing this i can hear fireworks outside my window. Sigh. He still haven't wished me. Do you think he forgot? Probably he's busy with the party. Oh wells. Happy new year you guys!
Another year, another chance to start our live anew. This time we'll leap old barriers to have a real breakthrough. We'll take one lil step and then we'll take one more. Our unlimited potentioal we'll totally explore! We'll show off all our talents, everyone will be inspired. Hmmm, while i'm writing this, i'm getting very tired. We'll give up bad habits, we'll read and learn alot. All our goals will be accomplished, sigh or maybe not. Oh well, happy new year anyway! -Iva Aishah.
