Countdown to 2009!

A few more minutes and it will be 2009. It feels as if I have just celebrated New Year not long ago but then here comes another New Year. My New Year celebration for this time is different from last year and I know I will most probably have a very different New Year celebration next year. As the saying goes, “Nothing stays the same”. Everything changes from time to time. Audacious, thrilling, enjoyable, strenuous, challenging…that is how I would describe my life in 2008. There were happy moments and sad moments too. Yet, I would categorise myself lucky to have the life I am having now. I really appreciate whoever and whatever I am having in my life now. Yes, I am contented with my life now but no doubt that improvement should be done to better my life.

I know I have changed quite a lot this year. Was it for the better or worse…that, I myself do not know. I should say something that occured in my life early this year has made me change a lot. It made me understand clearer of what this whole world is all about. People are  not as simple-minded as I thought and the world is not as peaceful as I thought.

Whenever the New Year arrives, there should be New Year resolutions as well. My New Year resolutions for 2009? Well, there are just too many for me to list down. However, I just hope my loved ones including friends and myself will have a better life in the year of ox in terms of health and happiness. Wealth? Well, oklar, in terms of wealth also but money is not everything in life. Happiness means the most to me but sometimes I am still searching the true meaning of happiness in life. Happiness is just something abstract and undefinable.

2009 will be a very different year for me. I will lead a very different life next year and I really hope it is for the better. I guess I am really looking forward to my life next year because since last time I have always wished to be somewhere far from everyone who knows me. I just want to feel how is it to be by myself and only surrounded by unknown people. It is not that I do not appreciate the people around me now, I do appreciate them, but sometimes I just want to lead a different life. I want some changes and a different environment. I just want to take control of my own life at times. I just hope 2009 will be a great year for me and everyone else.

Anyway, I met up with Kristie and Marisa today! Marisa is a friend of mine whom I knew 2 years back while we were in the Yayasan Telekom educamp for our scholarship application. We both secured a scholarship from Telekom but we both rejected it because it was not the course of our choice. Although it wasn’t a long meet up, but I really do appreciate those moments I was with them. We met up in Star Parade, Pacific, had lunch together, walked around the shopping complex, then we parted. We did chat a lot during that time and it was so fun hanging out with them. Thanks girls!

Till then, I am going to bid goodbye to 2008 very very soon. I know I am going to miss my life in 2008 yet, I am also looking forward to my life in 2009. I shall not look back at the past anymore and just look ahead to my future.

Goodbye / Selamat Tinggal / Zai Jian / Joi Gin / Adiós / Sayonara / À bientôt, 2008!

HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!!!!!
