Well it's 2009 new years day. So HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL! This means new year resolutions.But yet again, it becomes a very important year which will decide the path of my future. FINAl EXAMINATIONS! So really got to work hard and have the discipline.Reflections of 2008 as well as new resolutions for 2009. I think we all changed somewhat in the past year, for the better of course, but there are some who went for the worst too.
Motto for 2009: Faith is the fruit of your salvation,works are the fruits of your faith
Found something meaningful- THE SECRET ESSENCE OF LIFE:
  • Vision: When you have a sense of your own identity and a vision of where you want to go in your life, you then have the basis for reaching out to the world and going after your dreams for a better life.
  • Positive: Work joyfully and peacefully, knowing that right thoughts and efforts will inevitably bring about right results.
  • Faith: Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
  • Desire: The starting point of all achievements not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything.
  • Expectations: If you paint in your mind a picture of bright and happy expectations, you out yourself into a condition conducive to your goal.
  • Mindset: At the centre of your being you have the answer, you know who you are and you know what you want.
  • Gratitude: The more you recognize and express gratitude for the things you have, the more you will have to express gratitude for.
  • Happiness: An attitude of mind, born of the simple determination to be happy under all outward circumstances.
  • Imagination: It is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, yoi will what you imagine, and at last you create what you will.
  • Giving: You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give yourself that you truly give.
  • Abundance: The abundant life does not come to those who had little obstacles along their paths. It develops from within and is rooted in strong mental and moral fiber.
  • Experience: Life takes on meaning when you become motivated, set goals and charge after them in an unstoppable manner.
Spent the last few days of 2008 having fun, lazing around with friends. A great way to round up the year. First was Vnite'08(Ventures' Nite). It went well thanks all the help from the leaders teachers and friends, namely, CMR, NAT, XW, ANT, JKEE, JIN, NIC, JAN,SHAWN, SAM(if I missed anyone out it is unintentional and I apologize). 
Then there was that small little lunch gathering at my place yesterday, 30th December. Thanks for coming friends. Really appreciate it! Hahas! Hoped you all enjoyed it! AND YOUR INDIAN POKER!!! After that, adjourn to another bbq at a friend's place with Cai. Nice pork ribs David! On the way there in the taxi before dropping nat off, the driver us what school were we from and we said we graduated from acs(br). Then he rattled on saying from ''ACS ah! Have many good people, also have many crooks ah! You know....(crime)....acs boy ah....you know...(crime)...acs boy ah!'' There was nothing we could say but just given each other eye contacts hahaha
REALLY SAD THAT THE PICS I TOOK WAS SORT OF DAMAGE DUE TO TOO HIGH CAMMI ISOs WHICH HAS CAUSED MY SUPPOSED BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES TO BECOME HORRIBLE...but after editing it looks better.
