Best and Worst Moments...

On the last day of 2007, i guess it is like e most apt time to do a recap of the best and worst moments of my life this year. Heck all the new year resolutions.. I suppose i didn't complete even half e list i set last year. So shall jus save e effort this year.. The biggest plan for 2008 is to have no plans at all.. Go with the flow...

I wanna save the best for last.. But i so realise all the bad events only took place in the later part of e year. So perhaps I'd jus recap e moments right from the start.

I remember on faithful 7th January, i woke up feeling like an entirely different person. I spent the entire night talking to myself, questioning the purpose of my life and i actually found alot of answers within myself. I began living a very different life.

For the first half of my year, i was busy preparing my sister's wedding.. I coped with assignments and freelance work. While she was unemployed then, we spent alot of time together..

Ard March, when Osteen quit his job, we began mugging together.. I guess that's when e friendship really started. Shortly Audrey joined us.. And when she quit her bank job too, it was like e best time ever. We had lots of teochew porridge, beer and wine.. Western food.. Geylang's Dou Jiang and Dim Sum.. Nice! I miss those days. We work and play hard.

My work was pretty smooth. I had a few good additions to my portfolio. Nothing really spectacular. Career wise it was a fruitful and bountiful year for me.

The mid of year was really nice. There was Clairr's wedding.. n shortly, Sister's wedding.. Then carry on with loads of mugging..

My dearest Junie finally returned from UK too.

One of the fruitful event this year has been the chance to work with prison inmates on some parts of the yellow ribbon project. It's regrettable I cannot contribute more time on that. But i sure wish I can be more involved next year. My best Christmas present this year is actually a handmade card sent to me by the inmates.. I really hope the boys that I've worked with will have an equally bright future as any of us. While working with them, i see the good in them. I see great potential and really we shldn't condemn anyone forever for 1 fault. We all make mistakes isn't it? We're just luckier to get away with it tat's all...

Anyhoo. Suddenly disasters began to strike. 3/4 of the year past.. Then suddenly Don passed away.. The biggest hit on me this year has to be his departure. I still kept questioning the possibilities of him taking his own life. We dont know each other for many many years. But our friendship and understanding for each other's passion for our work runs deep. He is the greatest loss I have this year. He made all other hiccups seem so small. I'm still trying to be strong and avoid thinking abt him at all.

Shortly after, i got my office space on October 8. Think its the next day or something.. I was hospitalised. Discovered i had a recurrence of the dreaded illness. But man i'm not defeated. I'm jus beginning to see the light..

It was just recently that Austin n I decided on the partnership, though we've worked on a project together on. We're taking a chance to try to make things work.. And hopefully this takes flight. I really hope I dont lose focus and keep going on track.

I guess this year has really made me grown quite a bit. Quite a few changes i see in myself, esp on perspective for life. I've certainly become more optimistic and stronger, though still not strong enough. But i know i will jus get better anyway. :)

What else can i ask for? I had a pretty pleasant 9 months.. And a rather disastrous 3 months. I've already gained more than i can lose! So I'm still thankful for everything this year..

Thank you to all my friends and family..

May all goes well for 2008 too! Farewell 2007...

I hope my family and friends all be well in 2008.. Most of us are heading on the track to building our career.. I foresee some pregnancy coming along next year.. Whatever we're working on, everyone pls do take great care of our health. Have a happy year ahead! See you 'next year'...
