countdown to 2009

2008 has been like a ride on a roller coaster. there are ups & downs, whether we like it or not.

the start of 2008 has not been a smooth one. the passing of my grandmother has made me treasure the people around me even more. but i think she blesses me with ian entering my life. as what i have always say, it's simply amazing that we got together after knowing each other for so long.

there are new friendships & i guessed its tough to balance everything in life. i have been introduced to new places, new makan places, new people etc.

school life is pretty much mundane at times for this year because everyone is mugging for the big A's. but with the Oct babies' celebrations in school on a Friday morning, Graduation Day, Thanksgiving Day etc, all these have added colours to my life.

then it comes the big A's. whether we like it or not, we still have to clear this huge barrier. though the journey was strenuous & sometimes irritating, i am glad that it's over, for now.

as time passes, i feel that we should try & learn more new things as we only live our lives once. so make it a meaningful one!

in a few minutes' time, it is the start of something new. stay healthy & happy, everyone! i guess it's about time to bid goodbye to 2008 & welcome 2009!
