Just another story

*clearing the thick layer of dust!*

I know i have been away for a long while! well, you cant really blame me for not updating- my internet was a little cranky a few months back with the modem switching off by itself as and when it feels like it and when the modem is kind enough to stay on, the speed is as slow as tortoise. it pisses me off BIG time when i had to wait for ages to get my page loaded! :s hence, i didnt switch on my com for the longest time i could remember!

when the internet's finally fixed towards the last 2 weeks of december, i was pretty caught up with the planning of gatherings (think of MJ! haha.) and with CJ's stuff. hence, the lack of updates from me. heehee.

anyhow, it's the last day of the year yet again! are you looking forward to year 2009? in a nutshell, 2008 has been a turbulent year- what with all the terrorist attack, the economic crisis and the sichun earthquake- i am definitely looking forward to a more peaceful year ahead!

despite the occurence of not-so-happy-and-fortunate events, i would still think that my year 2008 was considered good. lets see why.

i combed 2 more places in this big gigantic world- Shanghai and Japan. both trips were great and i thoroughly enjoyed myself during these overseas trips! (photos for japan will be posted in another blog post!)

i had my first practicum where i am graded for my teaching (instead of simply sitting behind to observe!) heehee. it was a great learning experience!

regain my "perfect eyesight"! hahaha. of course, with the help of technology! ha.

2008 was also my most hectic year ever! with tuition on everyday of the week except wednesday, it was definitely no joke! haha. but of course, i get to "savour" the sweet rewards of all these "sacrifices" when i receive the pay cheques at the end of the month! haha.

there are of course occasions where unhappy events took place (like the ultra big quarrel with my sister in november! haha!). but... the unhappy events are not worth my attention/time to write them down. heehee. anyway, i think it's enough time spent for 'history'. heehee.

2009 is just a few steps away. i am really looking forward to a better year ahead! it will, afterall, be the year where my peers and i will graduate from NIE and *hooray hooray* we will be able to receive full pay soon! (instead of stipend for some of us! hahaha.)

lets all hope for a great and safe year for all! :)
