The first day of a new year, the first day of 2010.
I didn't feel any excitement nor sadness counting down to 2010. It was just like another day for me. Well, I think I did feel/am feeling a tinge of sadness coming into this new year because I'm 19 now. GAWD. I wanted to be forever 17... And now, I'm 19. I betcha I'll hate 2011 to come cos then my age will be starting with the number 2! HOW OLDDDDDDDDDDDDD.....
The countdown yesterday at Cafe Iguna very much surprised me because I didn't expect it to come so soon. We hardly reached Cafe Iguna, downed a shot of tequila, headed to the dance floor, and BAM! the countdown started. WOW~ It was extremely fast. And after everyone shouted 1!, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!, we got bombared with foam sprays and glitter-sprays, and I was like OMG NOOOOO GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!! NOT MY HAIR YOU ASSES!!! hahaha. What a way to start 2010 eh. XP
So anyway, I had a nice time with the netballers. Great to see those who went overseas and didn't come to our last gathering. (: Though once again our team wasn't complete cos Zheng was in Thailand.

To sum up my 2009,
StudiesDidn't do as well as I wanted in my studies in the first half of the year. However, I realised that I'm more of a hands-on and "story-telling" kind of person, so I do better when I am given something to do. Got top in class for the first time since I-can't-rmb-when in the later part of the year. The feeling was simply amazing.
FriendsMade some new friends whom I can clique with really well. Lost some old friends also but its ok because they weren't really friends to begin with, more like acquaintances, and I sometimes felt very awkward talking to them or mixing with them. Retained friendships with my secondary school Netball mates, 6 years of friendship and this year is the 7th year. Got closer with Mayo too, my ultimate best friend in the entire world.
LegalMy 18th and legal birthday came in 2009, and I got to do things and go places which I couldn't do/go to before this. For example, driving. I love being able to drive. And teaching piano. I love playing the piano. Got my first-ever paycheck this year and boy was I overly-happy.
FamilyGot to understand and love my parents more because of the excessive amt of books I've read, I learnt how parents react when their child does smt, so I know how to react and appreciate all the things that they've done for me.
BoyfriendMaintained my relationship with Wei Liang, 1 yr 6mths and counting, and learnt how to overcome difficulties. Got to be overly-pampered and spoilt too. :D A relationship is not always smooth-sailing and that's what every couple will have to acknowledge. Had one of the best times of my life together with him. (:
LifeRealised and understood how blessed I am to come from a well-off family. I saw how so many other families do not even have half of what I have, and I feel so grateful to what God has given me. I also realised that I am actually really sheltered by my parents, as before my music job, they've never allowed me to work cos they told me they can provide for me so there's no need for me to go out to work. I thought what they told me was quite normal to everyone at first, until later on when I realised that how untrue it was, that the sentence only applied to me. I will never ever take anything I have for granted now.
GodThe only thing I regret, was straying away from God this year. My resolution for 2010, is that I will grow closer to him. I promise.
I grew up a lot this year, from a teenager to an adult. I realised that all the good and bad stuff that I've went through my whole life, it has made me who I am today, and I will never change them if I ever have the chance to.
Gosh. I can't believe I wrote such a sappy and long post. But I guess its kinda necessary? Haha.
