Start of a New Year.

In what seemed like a blink of an eye, 2009 ended. And WHAT A YEAR it has been. Full of ups and downs, lessons and opportunities, and not to forget meeting new people and places. =)

Let's get on quickly to what i did before i went dragging on too much again @.@

*

I had to work that night too. By that time i was already posted to the outlet in Spring, so i was not at King's Centre again. I was looking forward to another firework celebration and countdown in Spring that nite.

Unfortunately, there wasn't any. @.@ Apparently i was mislead....and what a bummer. NO COUNTDOWN?!?! So boring...i straightaway turned emo. *lol*

And then Sharon's text came in. Countdown at her workplace: Jase's Tea Room. =)

After work i was picked up by Sharon and Peter and we went over, calling our friends as we went along. In the end only Bryan and Kathleen showed up and joined us, who's already seated with Sharon's dancing friends, Hui Ming & Jia Mei~

Kath's Strawberry tea. Peter was her butler for the day. =P It has a very nice scent~

Chun-chun 12am we cheered and popped stuff. The kid was very happy for sum reason. ;)

Masks....i still keep mine..wheee~~~

We stayed there till nearly 2am i think. In the car on the way home, me and Kathleen formed our own 'band' and were trying hard to sell our 'music' using our new toy, the plastic toy trumpet/horn (what do u call that again?? HAIZ.). OMG we both went totally crazy blowing the damn thing!! Sharon couldnt stop laughing! =P

It was a night to remember. Kath, next time, we bring our trumpet and blow again. Huahaha~



*****

2009 is a year when i learnt alot. About life, love, friendship and work. I experienced many firsts...first time karaoke, first time sisha, first time took a pic with DSLR, first time didn't sleep at all for 40hrs(still a personal record), first time attend concert (Greenfest!), first time blog abt event, first time plan bday for friends, first boatride across river, first time clubbing, first time had hard liquor, first time lasertag, first time play drums and guitar, first time group photoshoot, first time dealing with exhibition stuff, first time staying overnight at a beach resort with friends, and many more....

First time someone really opened my heart, which before i thought is locked forever.

And because of that, first time had my heart broken & scarred too. That was one of the firsts of bad things that happened. First time lost my phone. First time had food poisoning sooo bad, i swear i was near to death. Felt SO awful. First time quarrel so much with sumone. First time felt what isolation and classification of people thru stupid judgements feels like. And many more.

But the heartbroken thing...i dun think its a bad thing. Everyone has to go thru it right? A blessing in disguise perhaps. SUmting that makes me learn and be opened to opportunities...

But what's happened was already in the past. A period of time which i shouldnt dwell on too much, for we all had to move forward. To grow. To learn. To survive.

Learnt what it feels like to like sumone. Learnt to let go. Learnt to accept. Learnt to think more openly. Learnt to be more careful. Learnt to be more alert. Learnt to be think faster. Learnt ALOT about life...

All in all, i grew as a person. Even thought the downs are there, but hey, they were there to help us learn and be stronger. It is the downs that made the ups more worthy. Despite everything that's happened, the things i did, the things i could've done when i was supposed to, I am still grateful and lucky i met there wonderful ppl who came into my life. Really happy i met these people who changed my life one way or another.

I wonder if i changed sumone's life though?
