No matter what happens, I promised myself that I'm going to blog before 2007 walks into history in another 3 hours. Wow, I can't believe that 2008 is coming so soon. It seems only yesterday when I was summarising the events of 2006. And so, I'm going to do the same for 2007 too.
TWO-O-O-SEVEN
Okay this year has been an emotional rollercoaster for me, with all those up and downs, valleys and peaks. I couldn't remember much about what happen during January but when February came, my whole family (including my aunties and grandma) faced the worst crisis following the unexpected demise of my uncle. Luckily time has proven its ability to heal and much of the things have fallen back to their places during the 3rd quarter of the year.
And also Mai left TP in pursuit of arts. It's really a comfort to know that she's doing okay. She's a lot happier there, from what I can see.
In March, I worked at Lehman Brothers for five weeks, earning a wholesome amount of $1,500. The office isn't too bad, save for the fact that certain people there were snobbish. I'm still appalled by how much those people holding a high post earn a year. Mind you, I'm talking about 6 to 7 digits annual pay.
I also became Yiting's Maths Tuition teacher. Hah~
And at the end of April, Year 2 Sem 1 at TP kicked start and Gracecia, Aili, Wilson and Peng Ghee got into the same class as me. What ensued was a whole lot of jokes and fun amidst project work, so much better than the current semester. Was in the same class as Nicholas again after approximately six years and haha, what a coincidence. FYI, we came from CZPS 5/6-4 when we were in P6.
May to August was school and I couldn't remember much of the details. There were conflicts between me and Mdm D. but then its okay because everything is fine now. There was this human-shaped pathway we did for Biochemistry 2 and CSAS report and so on and so forth.
When August neared the end, Joseph joined the family as a 'shy' puppy. Months have passed and he's showing his true colors and hyperactive nature. Alright, he's barking at some stranger at the staircase again.
September came and oh, the significance of holidays. I remembered the class chalet where I played Mahjong from night till dawn, forgoing sleep. Academic results came and it was the most satisfying thus far. Joined DRP where I had to work with Juan's husband and DRP turned out boring until the mice came.
I GOT A PSP TOO. =)
During October, I went Genting. Details on the october post. Class got changed again and it was farewell to Wilson and Aili. How I wished certain things don't change. Then the whole Biomolecular Science cohort got exposed to PBL, where everybody starts to complain about its difficulty. Then Amic came and within the first week, there was group meetings and such.
November was a difficult month where everyone tried to get things done. The PBL presentation went well and our group really did score. Then there was also CCN day where we sold fishes. It wasn't that bad really. Hah.
December spelled term-tests, term-break, AMIC benchwork, X'mas party and some other insignificant stuff. Oh yah (how can I forget), I turned 18 on the 8th. Haven't done any legal stuff such as buying liquor, cigarettes, TOTO/4D or watching a M18 movie.
And so that's my 2007.
Where I need to force myself to withstand irritating people. Where I truly know the significance of team work. Where my doubts towards anything and everything increase dramatically. Where I start wondering the meaning of true friends. Where I start to inspect myself for any bits of personality and/or habits that irritate others. Where I realised some humans have a motive behind every of their actions. Where I wonder about my capacity as a friend. Where I get irritated and disgusted by what people did to hurt others. Where the walls I erected around myself got higher and tougher. Where I stop trusting most of the people.
The last part turns out to be negative, isn't it?
All right, that's all.
I think I shall continue my AMIC discussion next year.
