Phew~ Finally got a day off from my part-time job.
Tomorrow will be the last day of 2008. Time really past so fast~ Can't even believe that I left my high school for almost 4 years!! It seems like just yesterday we all were still having fun in class, in PBSMM, up all night during camps (being hysteria was my profession back then - that was so much fun :P), going through all the competitions and tough times together. Was chatting with one of my long lost contact high school friend today through MSN. Our conversation really brought back a lot of good high school memories back to me. Truly, although 4 years had past, high school is still the best time eva of my life ! :D
"There're always things/people in life that we won't appreciate when they are still in front of us, but will definitely miss them lots when we're separated apart."
I'm blessed that i'm going back home soon for Chinese New Year. Hope I can meet up with all my primary and secondary school friends back home! Countdown is on!!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Still remember during this time last year, my parents were still around with us looking forward to go for countdown at Federation Square on the 31st Dec 2007. That was the most glamorous celebration that I'd ever seen in my life. Crowding together with thousands and thousands of people packed in between the intersection of Flinders St and Swanston St, walking so freely in the middle of Swanston St - no need to be aware of trams or whatsoever..That was indeed a very good experience. It'll be the same for this year, i'm so going for the countdown again and shout 'HAPPY NEW YEAR' with everyone! :P
Things that I'd experienced, achieved and changed in 2008:
