the last 24hours of 2007
this maybe an opportunity for me to take a little time and look myself in the eyes : just what have i been doing over the past 12 months apart from wasting my life away?
every year, it seems, i have been trying to promise myself to do better. and yet, 18 years flew by, and what exactly have i achieved in life?
hmm i think i started off a little negative, don't get me wrong, 2007 has been a great year, it really has. just like every other year, there were days when the sun is shining, but also the days when rain pours and even moments of thunderstorms every once in a while. i had the most unbearable pain, at the same time i also had the time of my life. i am thankful for all the mistakes i made and the wrong steps i have taken, it is true the cost i had to pay was huge, even to an extent that i could never have imagined, but looking back at it they can only do me good, what doesn't kill me only makes me stronger, once i learnt to put everything behind and locked them away somewhere deep in my heart, i began to pick up all the broken pieces of life, the sky finally starts clearing up and all things seem bright and beautiful again.
what's best about 2007 is that all the pain i went through seem to only have occupied the first half of the year, the second half of the year seem to have gone incredibly smoothly. i am guessing this is the way the guy in charge up there compesates me for my losses. life is fair and square i cannot complain, and without the downs, the ups just wouldn't feel half as good.
overall it hasn't been a bad year. i learnt, once again, a great deal about myself, i learnt that being heart broken isn't the end of the world, i learnt who my true friends really are, i learnt that something i considered as 'fun' isn't all that fun afterall, i learnt that some things in life are far less meaningful than i once thought they were, i learnt that some people just can't be trusted, i learnt to let go, i learnt that life is how you make it, i learnt to live in the present not in the past, i learnt to live for today and not tommorow.
2007 is one special year, i will always remeber this because:
i am proud of myself for:
- going bungee jumping in the worlds first bungee site
- going through and survived possibly the worst experience that one could have in a life time
- not screwing up my as grades
- finally starting to learn spanish
- losing the extra pounds that i have put on over the past 2 and a half years in 3 months
- keeping my room reasonably tidy
- going to breakfast every day
- wearing less make up in school
- learning to live for the moment
highlights of the year:
- trip to new zealand, trip to macau, madtrip to madrid with my favourite wormie [you know, SCC]
- meeting up my one time good friends in sydney whom i havent seen in more than 5 years
- seeing my big sis in syd
- having new friends in school - you know who you are, my schoolife is 1000X better since you guys came 
- driving a car
- going skiing
this year, i hope i can become a better person, i hope i can appreciate more rather than complain, i hope i can learn to be satisfied with everything i have in life, and most importantly that my weight won't rebound! rock on 2008
so my fortune cookie saids:
