Turn of the year

Howdy, lets start this off with a belated bday to this cute blog (not!). It probably slipped my mind since arsenal drew 2-2 with villa. Argh wadeva. It is that time of the year again to review my very fruitful 2008!

*warning wall of text spotted*

Lets start off with my new school. VJC. I've never once regretted going into this school even though my results is probably as good as my vacuum cleaner. Don't say i never fulfil my potential, its just not clicking for me, yet, YET. haha ok, i've made new friends, close friends, had some disputes, mature more (i hope), and probably also seen some ugly parts of the real world out there. New friends are silver, old friends are gold, thats for sure.

I have an amazing class, truly. I feel contented and lucky to have such a class like them. I've the honour to make friends with people like elton, wenkai and harry etc. haha, the famous four who talk cocks during econs tutorials. Not forgetting timothy, chin boon, randy and cedric, who (each of them) has allowed me to learn how to improve as a person, be it through good times and bad times. I know myself, there are things which when i cant accept, i wont accept, stubborn would be a good word here (Thats like wenger so hey! wads wrong?!). I've learned and enjoyed a lot from all these individuals the past year, so no matter how bad things may turn out, i really want to thank them.

Not to forget the girls! yu sin, sherlyn and li xuan has been wonderful in making our class such an enjoyable place. The energy they maintain each and every single day and the way they spice up our lives (haha) is probably instrumental in making our class bonded. Fantastic energy really.
Sherli, my pw mate with her 'so irritating' catch phrase, will not be left out too. I'm lucky to have her and cedric and jiang wei as my grp mates, putting up with my nonsense and my really bad anger management at times. Oh and all the hard times i had to put through during the latter part of the year, thanks a lot for listening my incessant complains during those long bloody 43 rides, haha so arigato sherli! And shu han, one of the 2 girls i've first met in VJ. Your enthusiasm during class outings and all was superb too!

and theres xin rui! hahhaa SG awww. One of the most enjoyable prank i had this year was from SG and HG. Honey boy is really quite sweet, really. =) SG is a really nice girl ok, apart from the fact that she is quite ley chey, quite whiney, talks a wee bit too much and too loud at times, eats quite lot, make fun of others. Yea shes nice. really. And shes a good listener! I'm very happy to have a friend like SG who can chat chit (yea like dane cook, i flipped this shit) for hours with me. Oh ya, she mj damn slow also, apart from that she is a good friend!

Plus the long lost ka lun siamed to america. My short span of friendship with him was an unforgettable one!

Ok the chapter for the class is over, let move on to some of my older friends, shall we? Yes we shall.

I must have been a monk for my past life and past past life to have the luck to have friends like zi quan, teng wee, en hao and nian kiat. Quan will be my closest and bestest friend for 8 years starting from tmr, gosh how time flies! Me <3 <3 der worz. From the tootsie wootsie boy to the ultimate cute shiat now, unbelieveable stuff. I've known quan since p4 till now, we were even schl mates since 1999? haha, we couldn't be schl mates for 2008 and of course 2009 but our friendship still hold strong! all our failed mugging sessions in 2008 still fresh in my mind, rmb blasting songs and erny guitar and the ipod with bon jovi live in BK and the disgusting M&Ms. God, now i know why my results sucked. =P

If i were to rob a bank, i would ask teng wee. uh huh. Hes the guy whom i will go through thick and thin with, considering all the stuff (good and bad but mostly bad) we've been through already. He's been a real buddy to me and one who can tahan my incessant crap. Though we weren't schl mates in 2008, 2008 still saw us played lotsa crazy soccer (and dangerous sliding) softball and whatnots. haha. Hes just one person who i wish that when i'm in trouble, he will be right beside me saying "fuck that was fun!" =) Thanks alot my buddy! The only downside to you is that u are a destroyer and like to destroy my room. and who can forget ur crazy softball throws?!

En Hao brought Bon Jovi in my life and hes a really great person to study and hang out with. Dramas make the world go round and 2008 saw us swapping tonnes of secrets and boy and girl issues haha. My lips are sealed, i wont say a word! He's really nitrogen (N2? Geddit?) about softball and all the sb sessions we had at the cage was fun ttm!

NK, my er hu buddy, haha, what can i say? i will bring him along if i were to rob a bank too but knowing him, he'll chicken out be4 the time arrives!

2008 also saw me knowing some new awesome friend like..

HG! haha the story goes: this girl pei ying (not her real name) decided to play a prank on the uber cute guy jw(not his real name) and she penned a lovey dovey love letter to him, addressing him as Honey boy! hha aka HB, and thats how the name came out. haha. HG has been a great person to be with and shes good entertainment on the occasional 55 bus rides we take home. Hopefully, ur luck will change for the better in 2009! Both in life and mj!

Then theres lydia! Aka Shi fu in terms of cuteness and funniness. Shes a really great friend to be with and i feel very comfortable chatting with her. I was lucky enough to have her as my fellow OGL and my mass dance partner too! We would frequently try to unravel the secret on why we are born so cute but to no avail. hmm. lol perhaps that is why i had to send her home to her ultrauberulu hdb when we hang out till late at night. Though i have to sacrifice myself by jeopardizing myself to those perverts out there, its all worth it yea. Anw, i really think its unsafe for girls to go home so late in SK, so many perverts out there!

Then theres the one person who can compete with zi quan, julynn! We met in P4 and were monitor and monitress in p6! We've been friends since and who can forget those stupid nights on msn when we'll just crap rubbish and gossip. ah yes, its nice to gossip with dear monitress! Fate allowed us to become schoolmates again and i really cherish our friendship. Afterall, we even org the 6 faith bbq this year (it was a success btw) and that goes to show how capable we all are! Oh and all the hk serial dramas we love so much haha. I even lent her some of my O lvl notes and allowed her to come to VJ! I rock yea. Hopefully our friendship can last till 2038 or even 2080 or even 2123 or.. argh u get the drift. Thanks a trillion my beloved monitress!

That would be literally friends forever.

Air rifle club realli has the potential to succeed. At times, i really feel i am not putting enough effort as an exco, but i will try and try harder. I am grateful to the club and the opportunity that has been handed to me. The laughter, fun, joy and support the club and the members have given me this past year is really wonderful and i would never experience it elsewhere. I cherish my time in the club and i feel the exco, jun han, esmond, chai li, audrey, wei yao and chiah hock are an exceptional bunch and we'll do well. We have the right combination and lets push tgt to our target. No doubt it would be tough and strenous next year, i have the belief that we can reach to that level we all deserve, the very best. I have seen massive improvement from all the members and the determination and extra effort each and every member is willing to put in. Lets do it not for others and whatever, lets do it for ourselves!

As an arsenal fan, 2008 has been an eventful year for us. I can still rmb that damned night when dudu broke his leg at birmingham and the downward spiraling of our entire season since all the way to the heartbreak of losing in all 4 competitions and to this year's talented and inconsistent batch. No matter what, we must never give up on them, no one ever gives up on The Arsenal.

Heroes come and go. Passion is forever

And rightly so too.

Glory will arrive one day, i'm sure.

2008 has made me understand a lot of new and fresh stuff which i never knew i could experience. I've realised how important friends can be in our lives and how we should cherish them. Above all, i've realised how family can even be more important in our lives. Any and i mean ANY relationship can turn sour overnight but family ties will always last the test of time, always. I love my family very much, my father, mother, brother and sister. I'm a lucky boy to have such a family, a family that will stand by me no matter what i do (erm i'm good boy).
I'm finally 17, at long last. Its another 360 days before i turn 18 in which i will have (i hope) come of age. 2008 was an enjoyable year and lets brace ourselves, for wadeva that may be thrown towards us in 2009.

Theres just so much to learn and reflect from 2008, i will die typing if i have to list everything out.

I'm looking forward to 2009! C'mon you gunners too!

Goodbye 2008
