Goodbye 2008 Part 2

2008 to me is a year of experiences and milestones.
Experience of working in a Multi-National Company.
Experience of 17-day Vietnam backpacking trip.
Experience of working in Singapore's Integrated Resort industry.
Graduation from Singapore Polytechnic marks the end of one thing and start of another.
Enlisting to the Army spawns out a new aspect of my life - no more school life, no more work life, it's army life.
Turing 21, just like that. No big deal, really.

Throughout the year, I've also made some self-discovery. I'm not a risk-taker but willing to try new things. I really enjoyed my working life. I've becoming passive and indifferent but isn't hopeless yet. I haven't shed a tear this year. Values are important.

Techie and geeky stuff are still part of me. Playing my iPod Touch, rebuilding my PC, syncing my Google Calendar, etc... Gonna hook up my XBox 360 on the network some time next year.

Chinese new year is less than a month's time, and my room is still in a huge MESS. I'll start cleaning up either tomorrow, or 2 weeks later.

Think there's still more to write... shall stop here for now though.

What to expect in 2009?

Goodbye 2008 Part 1

Ok, time for a proper post this time. (I'll try)
I know I've been MIA for quite some time, even the previous post wasn't exactly a post at all. I shall not do things for the sake of doing any more. Why? Purpose: For those who care to read and for me to look back.

I clicked on the Archives - December 2007 to take a look on what did I write then. Honestly speaking, I've forgotten what I wrote about 2007. I was surprised that by reading the short Summing up 2007 I felt as though I pressed the rewind button followed by the fast-forward button - memories, emotions playing back "like film without sound". Of course, that's something only I would be able to apprehend.

Let me try to recall from the start, January 2008.
At this point in time, I went back to the archives -again- and re-visit the entry
Two-oh-oh-Eight and The Upcoming Big Twenty One. Oh my, I didn't know I can write like that. True enough, 2008 is was indeed "exciting". And what? Resolution of the year? Totally forgotten about it, think that only existed at the start of the year, anyway as I wrote early this year, "Be less whiny, more decisive. (I'll keep quiet and be more harsh, maybe?)", I would say, yea, I've been :-
1. less whiny (other than army life, there's already nothing I can whine about),
2. as a result became a little quieter than last year.
3. just a tiny bit more decisive (being forced to, need to work on)
4. which made me more harsh to myself in some way or another.

I shall not bother with next year's resolution as of now.
Right, this is rather messy, so not organised. So back to Feb 08, (referring to another tab...... and digressed to Facebook =x) Reading the wall-of-text in March and my eyes are kinda tired now.

Shall continue Part 2 later. Meanwhile, here's A Mashup of the Top 25 Hits of 2008 ...
