A NEW YEAR, A NEW BEGINNING, A NEW START.

YEARLY SELF-REFLECTION POST 2008

It is always at the end of the year, that I would sit down and start typing all my thoughts in my blog. Because having a online journal isn't a bad thing after all, where memories are kept, and when you read through those archives, it is really heart-warming whereby you felt that you life was filled with happenings :)

Every year have been a year full of tears of joy and pain. I would say this year is eventful :) I think that life is not just about fulfilling your dreams and what we have always been wanting to do. It's about going the extra mile and putting in that extra bit of effort to complete every task and gaining the sense of satisfaction of achieving something. Seriously, life ain't a smooth ride. It's more like a roller coaster ride, ups and downs, high and lows, happy and sad. Everything happens for a reason - for us to learn. I have learnt not to speak too much, not to speak too fast, and NEVER to speak your mind. Because people are mostly sensitive and while they say "it's okay", it isn't...even for myself, we do not want negative stuff and setbacks that happened to us and when we are unsure of how to deal with them, we determinedly ignore the rest because they are supposed to simply go away and by wishing that it doesn't and will never happen, it actually makes us feel a little better and comforted. Though I have always pride myself on being myself, I guess when we grow up, we learn that nobody accepts a true self. We all want masks, and deceit, and superficiality.

There is just so much to push fate. I just pray that God use whatever little I have and multiple that to do my best in everything and put me my best-self, to always stay by my side, leading and guiding me. I thank the people who believed in me and everyone around me was so willing to help me along, in a way or another. No one knows what I am thinking, no words under heaven could ever describe.

Time passes so fast, it is difficult to comprehend when the month timer struck 12, and the next moment, it is already the new year of 2009. It just came, and now it's gone. It's always hard to stay the same, you couldn't turn back time. But move on, because you are missing most of your life. I am glad that I have been fully utilizing my time and strive to improve myself on all improvable aspects. I finally pass my maths this year, it's always been a obstacle for me because friends around me know that my maths is always the subject that kills me. I hate numbers( but I love $$ ). I can't do maths, I hate calculations. But whatever it is, atleast I managed to secure a c5 - which in terms, is a good start for me and I hope that I will continue to work hard, maintain my standard and strive hard academically. Also, enjoying my days as I work towards my goals and hanging out with friends. Sometimes I felt that I am not being myself, something cryptic. Some things really don't come easy for me, I was really glad with the outcome and was happy that I didn't screw things up. I kind of learnt from a lesson and made good effort to make things better.

To many, life is often associated with dreams. People say, one who fails to dream, dreams to fail. Well to me.. life is much more than just dreams. Cause dreams they seem to cost money but money costs some dreams.

I am thankful to be able to talk to my parents, have time to read, blog about my life and look at the pictures and what I have been going through. Simple things that makes me smile, I don't need the world, I just need the ones I love. Thank you for being there when I needed you. Reaching out to me when i feel despair and when my burdens are too much to carry. Thank you for being there to encourage, lending me a listening year about my dreams and silly ideas. Thank you for cheering me up and making me laugh and helped each other grow.

At this point in time, I would have already insert a countdown calendar and be so excited of that special day of mine. But however, I always have this mindset that the more you are looking forward to, the more disappointment it is. Am I wrong? I don't know, I have no idea why. This year's birthday was a _____ but atleast my family celebrated with me. Which is more than enough. I always have this thought of people doing up like an album with pictures, having wishes written as a birthday present but it is just a figment of my imagination.
But I hope 2009 birthday's will be a joyful one, but I doubt so. Just let the nature takes its cause.

We fight, we quarrel, we scream, we cry. Be if of your family, friends or the love one of your life. At the end of the day, we have learn our lesson and lastly, cherish each other's presence isn't it? I hate myself for not being able to hold on to my anger, spouting nonsense that hurt my loved ones. And by the time I realise that I am wrong, it's too late. It's like a nail piercing through the board, but when you are taking it out. The hole will always be there, and nothing can ever be done unless you find a new replacement. You have seen my bad/lazy/decent/wild/extreme side of me and can be nasty at times.

Lastly, all the best to myself and the people around me taking 'N's and 'O's.
It's going to be a tough year ahead..2009 will be a year to study hard, no more fooling, serious in work, and do well for 'N's and get promoted to Sec 5 successfully and also for 'O' level Chinese.

To end this entry, I would like to thank all the people around me. Thanks for always being there for me, giving me motivation, encouragement, and confident and makes me to believe in myself that I.Can.Do.It and Impossible is nothing, Impossible is I'M Possible. Like what Miss Chan said : '' There's a star within each and everyone of you, you will burst forth into radiance one day '' and I hope I can be the star.

Yes, and I want to be the one smiling, jumping for joy, and being elated for doing well AND of course, without any regrets at all.

What did i learn, what did you learn?
Here in this life we seem so lost. On this side of brightness we don't know where to go.

2008 is coming to an end.
Life just goes on, and on, and on...

DOWN THE MEMORY LANE.........

P.S : I LOVE TANGYUAN! :D
Especially those hand-made one without any filling.

P.P.S : I LOVE CHOCOLATE ICE BLENDED TOO!
I don't know why, but after getting my hair cut I suddenly crave for bubble tea.
So I immediately went to the nearby shop and I think the uncle's in a good mood.
He added alot of spoonful of choco powder and added quite a little amount of milk.
And after all, it taste like dark chocolate, thick and creamy. Super nice!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE

[Edited]
I am very happy now! I just received a call from my GUIYANG MIAOMIAO FRIEND!
Yeah, they rocks. I miss them, so much. Waiting for their call ever since I had came back to Singapore.
I am glad that they still remember me and we chatted alot on the phone.
Even though we are far apart, but I guess friendship draws us closer and nearer :D
And this year I have been receiving calls from them, and I hope that we can still stay in contact with each other.
They told me in China it is around 1-5degree Celsius. It is extremely freezing cold!
Next year, we shall all work hard together. They have their national exam, so as me.
Take care, all. And Merry Christmas! All the best to tomorrow's night Christmas concert at Guiyang MiaoMiao(:
Have fun!

STUDENT LEADERS CAMP PICTURES(:

Thursday, December 18, 2008

BACK FROM CAMP

First time being in the camp committee was definitely a whole new experience for me.
Being able to be station master, leading campers and getting advice from Seniors is (:
Now I know how it was like being in the committee, everyone's working together and being united.
And to go and scared campers during their night walk when they are being blindfolded.
Like tapping on their shoulder, screaming to their ears, tickling them and call them to touch the meal worms.
When WE actually pass through the process before when we are a junior a few years back :D
But well, I am far too talkative that I don't think I have helped much
'' Jiahao, don't keep talking! Go and call the campers to gather in front! '' =P
And I find it quite fun to take pictures using jocelin DSLR, the quality and all is so much better.
It's time to change my camera please, anyone would like to sponsor me? Haha.

Campfire night's great, cheers-dance-sing-along session.
It was really exhausting when the camp committee only had barely of 2 hours of sleep.
And the next day, I probably can just fall asleep anywhere in the school.
When the camp ended, me and Aaron went to took the bus together.
On the way to the bus stop, I was telling him that my agenda is : Bathe, Dinner, Sleep!
Indeed, you know how I was falling asleep and my eye's half close when I was watching television.
At 9pm, I have no choice but to miss the Little Nyona show on Channel 8 and went to bed.

After all, thank you Seniors and Camp Committee for making this camp a success.
And lastly, for leading me as well(:

Not going to post up pictures because I don't think the pictures are well taken using my camera.
Shall get it from jocelin soon!

STRAITS TIMES MEDIA CLUB CAMP

It suppose to be a 2 days non-residential camp, but however. Since everyone was caught up on the first day.
All of us only went on the second day, 12th December. But nontheless, it was great!
Was told to meet at 9am, but reached there at around 8am. Exactly one hour early.
Started off the day by having to wait at the coffee shop nearby SPH with those uncles, watching tv and listening to radio.
Actually wanted to order kaya toast even though I already had my breakfast before leaving.
But I wouldn't want to spent my only 10bucks left in the wallet. Haha, okay I am weird.
93.3fm morning show is really entertaining, and it somehow brighten up my morning with a :D
That's why, it's always my favourite radio station(:
After that, headed back to SPH and started ice-breaking games and was assigned to a group called Little Red Dot.
There were many different sections in Straits Times Newspaper, such as Sports, WorldNews, Intimes, etc.

Had a tour to the Information Resource Center and the Newsroom.
Followed by Newspaper Printing Center to know how Newspaper was being printed out and distributed around Singapore.
And how the whole system works and the process of printing.
There was also a radio workshop by Jeremy Ratnam, a deejay from 91.3fm.
You know leow's t-shirt was being stolen and how we wanted to get the t-shirt desperately, if you happen to read this.
But leow already gotten his shirt when he participated in a survey conducted by 91.3fm, so it left me who haven't get it yet.
So I thought I shall answer some quiz and get the goodie bag, in an excitement to open it and find the shirt inside!
But in my disappointment, it doesn't have the t-shirt ):
Leow, if you are reading this better don't laugh at me okay! Haha.

A moment later, there was an interview with MTV VJ, DENNISE KELLER.
She share with us about her being as a VJ, and of course about her life!
Phototaking and autograph session with her, and she's really friendly :D

The last programme of the day was a prize presentation for Straits Times Newspaper Competition.
Was really proud that our school won first in the subsidiary prize for newsletter competition.
And merit for the Straits Times Newspaper Competition 2008.
Congratulations to Yuying Media Club members for participating(:

Baked chocolate tart with mum on Thursday(:
But the picture taken is without chocolate because it is still baking-in-process.
