"Someone once said; 'It’s the good girls who keep diaries. The bad girls never have the time. Me… I just wanna live a life I’m gonna remember. Even if I don’t write it down.'"2008 is a year I will remember. Probably because it is one of the worst years in my life. This year has been crazy, made new friends, screwed up my studies, lost myself and am currently in the process of finding me again. Because, sometimes, you have to step outside of the person you've been. And remember the person you were meant to be. The person you wanted to be. The person you are.
This year is by far the year that I've wasted alot of time and money on unnecessary things. I've made terrible mistakes which I hope I don't make next year. I haven't been a good friend either, all those numerous times I promised I would catch up with friends, yet I had so many other commitments that I failed to spend sufficient time with people I love.
2009 is only going to get worst, it's an important year for every 18 year old jc student. I'm having my piano exam next year too, so I have to put aside time with my beloved instrument as well. That is a big deal to me because it's important, and I love music and everything about it. I wish I could say the same for As, unfortunately I have absolutely no passion for all the subjects I'm studying.
I do not look forward to 2009, but I have to welcome the inevitable. In doing so, I have to change the way I've been living. Watching One Tree Hill (albeit it's just a typical American serial, which I know some of my dear friends will definitely argue) has made me realise what life can do to you, also, what you can do to life. Most importantly, I learnt that sometimes we need to step up. Stepping up. It's a simple concept. It basically means to rise above yourself; to do a little more. You know it's been said that we just don't recognize the significant moments of our lives while they're happening. We grow complacent with ideas, or things or people and we take them for granted and it's usually not until that thing is about to be taken away from you that you've realized how wrong you've been that you realized how much you need it, how much you love it.
So sometimes I live in fear, fear of losing what I have.
However, there's a line from Henry James: 'Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living, and your belief will help create the fact.'
So 2009, here I come.

Dance, nothing left for me to do but dance,
Off these bad times I'm going through just dance
Got canned heat in my heals tonight baby

So I caught Australia with my favourite people, with the canoeists (Ape and Liyin) M.I.A, probably in training or studying their butts off. God I missed all of them. 2007 was my best year, these people being part of the reason. And with all that happened this year, it aches my heart even more. I know I've gotta spend more time with them. Just have to figure out a way to do that with everybody's hectic schedule :)
Late pictures from seniors farewell !

As little children we would dream of Christmas morn
Of all the gifts and toys we knew we'd find
But we never realized, a baby born one blessed night
Gave us the greatest gift of our lives
As the years went by we learned more about gifts
The giving of ourselves and what that means
On a dark and cloudy day, a man hung crying in the rain
All because of love
I've finally found the reason for living
It's in giving every part of my heart to Him
In all that I do every word that I say
I'll be giving my all just for Him
He is the reason to live
We were the reason
That He gave His life
We were the reason
That He suffered and died
To a world that was lost
He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live

When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed
And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest
Aww, twilight. Yes I'm still into twilight. Life's a teeny bit brighter because of this story so sweet, and it's got me dripping with envy. (TELL ME WHY AM I NOT DATING A VAMPIRE)
Last friday was nuts, it was terribly fun ! I wish I was financially able to travel all over singapore on a food tour. We did that, but because we were financially strapped, we didn't get to eat everything we wanted. It was great nevertheless, travelling all around Singapore (:

Happy birthday JB !
Vois sur ton chemin
Gamins oublis gars
Donne leur la main
Pour les mener
Vers d'autres lendemains
Sens au coeur de la nuit
L'onde d'espoir
Ardeur de la vie
Sentier de gloire

Been staying up with my latest night buddy, adobe photoshop. Making pictures of Edward, Bella and other characters in twilight. Will be putting them up every post and everywhere :)
I don't know what's wrong with me, I've been such a fangirl this holidays. First Jean-Baptiste Maunier, then Twilight, and I can already feel the One Tree Hill thing in me.
So I haven't even started on my work yet. To think Christmas is approaching, and it's A levels next year. It's getting stressful, every minute as the clock ticks. I'd say Singapore JC kids have a lamentable life. It's all about mugging, studying a load of crap which aren't going to much help in our future anyway. We're always trying to juggle tests, exams, notes, cca commitments and most importantly, having a life. I can't believe I chose to put myself in one of the few torturous institutions and confine my life to those useless notes and knowledge which I won't be needing after the end of next year.
Pictures from 16th december 08 :D
God I miss them.
Been hanging with alot of people, people I haven't seen in ages, people I miss like crap and the most unexpected people. I just wish the holidays would go on forever.
All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I gotta do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me
