4 years of keeping the trashes in my mind in the form of words.
2 templates.
505 posts (this is the 504th, and there'll be a next one which will be the 505th).
Tonnes of memories have been ascribed onto the stones of this blogspot site.
Thank you, all the faithful readers of this blog, for your patience and willingness to bear with my randomness. And now, it has come to the time for me to move on.
I will be moving to a new blog, but will keep this blog intact, only in its inactive form. Who knows, maybe now and then in the future I will still pop by and insert some trash here. But it all depends on my mood.
The official launching date of my new blogsite would be on Wednesday, 21 Jan 2009. Stay tuned, and take care =)
Whatever it is, yes I have been raging a full-scale total war against these tiny species of parasites trying to cause a severe rampage in my body just before the all-auspicious Chinese New Year. And I retaliated with 1 (and a half) day of MC, sleeps aplenty, with gallons of water gulped in until I felt like I was diluted.
Went to office today and couldnt really do work properly. So I unofficially declared another half a day and went back home to sleep.
Now better already. No more fever, sore throat almost gone. Hopefully I could be up and running about for the Chinese New Year again...
This is way way way behind schedule but it is still the first post of the year 2009, as well as the 500th post of this blog.
And so ended the long and dramatic 2008, followed by the ever more challenging year of 2009.
The year that has past... is a year of the Rat. Being the very year of my own (same as the year I was born in), this year was predicted to be, and proven to be an unpleasant year for me. Many major changes in my life has happened, and although there are pleasant moments, I guess overall they are ultimately still overwhelmed by the unpleasant and unwanted incidents.
Here goes the summary:
April - Submitted the Final Report for my FYP
May - End of my examinations, End of my first round of education life, End of campus life. Beginning of a new chapter of my life - in the Tomato New Town.
June - No one would understand how badly I wanted to participate and perform at a concert, but I guess sometimes life is also about making choices and choosing one's own path to go for.
July - Commencement Ceremony, Interview for job
August - Joining the Workforce for the first time in my life
September - Promotion of immigration status to PR, met HC for the last time
October 7 - Departure of my dear guinea pig (the one in this blog's profile picture)
October 14 - Departure of HC
I do not think any of the more pleasant events above would be grand enough to override the effect of my close friend's departure. 6 years of solid friendship, and up till now I could still feel her presence especially during the outing with the same bunch of friends. Above all, I am also using the phone number that she once used. So in a way, I feel like she's always around me.
I dont think our friendship will end just here. She'll continue live in our hearts. Forever as a good friend. Rest in peace, HC. I guess you should have settled down pretty well by now. Let me know your whereabouts through my dream some day, perhaps? We all miss you dearly =)
Approaching quarter-life crisis in the new year, but I guess this time I might have the chance to beat it as I have recently regained a slightly stronger tinge of motivation from both of my career supervisors. Will try to make this new year a pleasant one.
Meanwhile, have a happy, fulfilling, exciting and enjoyable new year, everyone :) :)
I always remember this time last year when I first heard about the news. And so many things could happen within a short span of just a year, many of which are just so dramatic that things are no longer the same, and will never be the same anymore.
And the cruel fact in this real world is: Life Goes On.
