Time of reflection

hi you! it's the 30th of December 2009. I think it's about time you take a few minutes to look back at the year and remember all the little things that make the most memorable moments in your life. After all, they only come by once. It could be anything... making new friends, having some awesome vacation or trip somewhere, a promotion, a new loved one, getting married, having a child.. it's all wrapped up in one package called "memories" that I'm sure you'll cherish for life. If you don't have even a single one of those to remember, then you really are in trouble. GET A LIFE!!!
Okay, I'm sorry that was rude. But seriously, if you don't then you need some spice in your life somewhere and soon. Hmm... for me, I guess 2009 was quite an awesome year. Made really good friends, had superb fellowship with them, I grew in the Lord this year, taking up more responsibilities in church. I even became class monitor of 5Science1. Hehe, I never would have figured that out a couple of years ago. I finished SPM and later today I'm gonna spend some time with my friends and for some, probably it will be the last time. So yeah, looking back at it I'm really blessed by God to have 2009 in my life and all that has happened during the year. Yeah, sure there were the down sides as well.. like embarassing yourself in front of the whole school singing "stand By Me" or being pushed here and there because some people wanted you to be a man and talk to the girl you like or wasting alot of money on things you really shouldnt at all. So basically there were also a lot of learning points in 2009. Oh and did I mention, I performed for the Christian Fellowship events on the bass guitar and it was an awesome experience. Finally I get to perform in front of a crowd and not just to myself in front of a mirror. xPxP
I've grown to cherish the people I love most and I guess that matters most really. I mean yeah sure you're super tight with your friends and buddies and all but when it comes to family, no one can replace them. Love your parents more.. they might be gone one day and you might never experience the joy of saying " I love you mom" or "I love you dad" anymore once they're gone. Love your sisters too ( if you have one ) because you might never know when they might just get infected with the H1N1 virus and dissappear outta your lives just like that. So seriously, pay more attention to your family because after all said and done, they are the ones you turn to when everything seems meaningless.
Gosh, I just mixed sentimental and nostalgic and the same time.. not a very good combination. Blahhh.... I shall revert myself back to the present. Anywayz, just wanted to let you all know that you should be doing something special today in case you didnt do any throughout the year that you can remember. Even if you have, just do something today that you'll remember in 10 years time. Hopefully we make it to 10 years. According to that movie... I reckon we only have about 2 years more before we all DIE!!! nahhh... it's probably just crap.....

OR IS IT??!?!

hahaha anyways, i'll see you guys soon.

P.S. I've blogged 3 days in a row! Not Bad!!

Future Decided

hiya fellas. two days into my blogging renaissance.. just got back from Pulau Pangkor. I thought it was quite awesome. I canoe-ed for the first time and I even went para sailing for the first time. I will post some pictures up next time. If you havent tried para sailing before then I seriously recommend that you do 'cause its really a superb feeling to be about 50-100 feet above the ground. So yeah, do try it out.
Anyway, about my prediction on MU being at the top of the BPL come new year.. I guess it didn't pend out the way I wanted it to. Chelsea got lucky with a win over Fulham. O'well, MU will still win it :):)
Back to the real world. After persuasion and some thought... I've finalised where I would be studying for my Pre-U and University. I'll be putting pen to paper tommorrow in Sunway College doing the FIA course in business. I'll be doing a 3+0 uni course locally and my masters in the University of Lancaster the following year. Phew... that's like 5 years ahead. I'm only 17 !!! then again, that is quite old already. -sigh- and by the way... I can't drive yet. =(
I've got to suffer with the transportation for now. I need my license thick and fast !
Oh and did I mention. College starts this MONDAY!!! I've only got about 5 days of holidays left to enjoy. gosh time flies sooo fast. I'm really nervous bout college. I hope everything's ok.. making new friends and stuff.
hmmm...I hope tommorrow's event turns out well. No rain please I beg You God! Just a day.. and probably even the last day I spend with some of my friends.

I've got to go now. Its very late. will see y'all soon

Free bird?

hiya my rusty old blog. oooh, how I missed you. anyway, i shall not loathe myself in love with an object for too long. how are you all?? my blog followers must be extinct right about now. o'well, thats the price you pay for abandoning ur blog for so long.
so away from all that nonsense... in case you don't already know, well yeah im done with SPM... finally, after so long. then again, I look back at it and wonder... it's not really as suicidal as people think it is. I mean yeah sure its a big thing but nothing that you should go cuckoo about. Come to think of it, I don't exactly feel like a free bird. It feels like any other holidays i've had for the past what...11 years? only that this one is shorter because the exams end in december and college starts in january.
So yes, an advice to my juniors. Take SPM as though it were any other exam. There's no need to panic whatsoever and you'll believe me once you've gone through it. Though I must say that you need to study abit more for this one.. haha as always I do regret not studying enough for exams.. but this one is a major one that I just can't rectify anymore. SO, DO HEED MY BRILLIANT ADVICE and start early before its too late.
now, apart from all the hoo-haa of exams, there is still life to this "lost" kid. Am still pondering on which college to go to or what course to take. Taylors, sunways?? Business? Engineering? Actuarial science? so little time so much to do. -sigh- how I'd love 28 hours in a day.
I guess I'm just waiting on what God has in store for me next. I hope it's exciting xPxP
I've been listening to this song by Taylor Swift, "Fifteen".. changing the lyrics to "eighteen" and of course the girly parts to guy parts. its really quite nice, if you havent listened to it, then you really should.
Into the global world, I just wanna say.... MAN U won HULL hahaha!! I tip MU to be at the summit of the premier league come new year. Don't you agree??
hmm.. I'm with my family in pulau pangkor right now for the holidays. And as I'm typing this, there is this suuupeeer cute girl dancing in front of me. she's quite pretty. sweet and silk smooth skin. Long breezy hair. What more could you want? then again... I think she's probably 7 or 8 years old. HAHAHA, a lil' too young for me?
Well, as I look back at this year I guess it's really a blessing. It's been a good year. I hope to end it on a high. I'm having one last gathering with friends on the 30th and am looking forward to having a great time with them.
I think it's about time I stop here. My first post for such a long time is quite long enough. :):)
I hope to see you guys again soon. Gonna enjoy some lunch buffet now. By the way, BUFFET is pronounced as BOO FAY, NOT BUFFET!!
and to my sister... HORIZON is pronounced HO-RYE-ZEN. not HO-RI-ZAWN. ZZZzzz, and she's somehow my flesh and blood. haha, just kidding. I mean no offense, otherwise she's gonna eat all my food later. ciao peeplz
