First and foremost, I'm gonna wish everyone a brand new year! Time flies and by the time you knew it, January 2009 has finally arrived for new beginnings. 2008 was really an amazing rough road for me. I had gone through my ups and my downs, with loved ones and friends. But at the end of it all, I knew everything happened for a reason. And I learnt from them, and not let anything stop me from having to move on and enjoy my life to the fullest. I've sat for my O-levels. I've studied enough for 4 years. Bonded with a whole bunch of great classmates during recess and assembly. Quarelled with parents and siblings and made up for it by having dinner or celebrating birthdays or even window-shopping. Made new friends through the cyberworld and external camps. Slacking at town and camwhored through the night. Be in love and out of love. Heartbreaks here and there. Happiness here and there. I've grown up and I'm turning 17. There's always gonna be the kid inside me. But I know one thing's for sure, I treasure and appreciate whatever I have today and where I'm at today. Working at Starbucks has been a great experience for me. The only thing I look forward to is for my pay, my birthday, and the O-level results. And now that 2009 is here, I know have to make resolutions to achieve my ambition, the kind of life that I always wanted and be a happy lad.
