HAPPY LAST DAY OF THE YEAR!
2:52:00 PM
2008 has gone past in a flash. i distinctly remember myself wishing before term exams that i could close my eyes and have everything be over when i wake up. like one of those flashbacks you see in movies when everything is disjointed, the boring parts are edited away and you only remember the good / memorable / sad / painful but still good parts.

... that kinda happened to me.
hahaha.

im very grateful this year to several persons, and groups of people. (:
thus starts the yearly reflective thank you shout out post to the people in my life. you know, for once. i'm on time. :D

gen,
you're always first on my list because you're my soul mate, my boy friend and my ultimate BFF. For every single time i've laughed at your naivety, said you're a loser and i've won, called you crazy and stupid, i'm sorry. and i take it all back, because i'm just as crazy stupid and as naive as you (or i'm more. haha.) and i dont mean it. hahaha. (: you know that right? but i still win and you lose anyway. that doesn't change. :p hahaha.
thank you for all the laughter and long phone calls and the long distance relationship. haha. i'm really grateful that on the certain occasions that you're free and have the permission to go out, you choose to ask me out.
we've been in different schools for one whole year already and we're still as close as ever, and that has to say something. (: rmb at the end of 07, we had so many fears that we'd change and drift apart and do nothing abt it? we honest to goodness PWNZ-ed those fears. (: now we know we can do anything we want as long as we work at it together. :D
I love you and lets watch bride wars together. (:

you've truly been a huge blessing to me this year. your constant encouragement and never ending laughter has really supported me in so many ways and on so many occasions over this year. (: thank you for every moment you've spent together with me (studying / laughing in fast food outlets, lazing at your / my house, church services and all the inbetweens) and thank you for every prayer you've said for me, i really love you. (:
hopefully next year will be just as good as this year has been. (: continue praying and depending on God. (: and i'll pray for you to get over your fear of public speaking. ;) haha.

the best decision i've made this year was to pick up that form. I'm glad God gave the go ahead to let me join you guys. you guys have been awesome, the fun-nest bunch of people to be with, the most caring extended family i've been part of and the best council mates i could ever ask for.
Council has really made 08 a super special year for me. Thank you for everything.
