In 2008, I’ve just realised how much changes I had myself in for, too many for me to list honestly, but I’ll be giving this a try. Jeez, this is so not good for me, going to the past and reminiscing it and stuff, it’s not gonna make me any happier, or maybe it could
1. I fell out of the whole J-Pop frenzy scene and gave away/stashed at a corner the Japanese magazines and boy-group souvenirs I owned which cost me more than a thousand ringgit. I swore myself not ever to be a fan-girl again. I am over that stage of life!
2. I got myself into the whole British music scene AGAIN after giving up trying to like Jpop, and was mad over Pete Doherty, I actually wrote him a fan-mail. (HAHAAA, this is an ultimate confession). I made up my mind that music does not equal to good looking musicians. Good looks don’t usually make good music, (but some men are just perfect
)
3. I fell for John Mayer as soon as I saw Say on tv. It made me cry -_-
4. 2008 was no doubt the year of coincidences, and probably miracles for myself too. Makes it different than previous years.
5. I enrolled myself into a tuition centre with 40 other teenagers studying at the same time with me, and decided I liked it better than previous private classes I had myself in for.
6. I got myself stress attacks the night before each trials exam paper and spent 10 minutes plus crying and trying to calm myself down.
7. I realised I could be broken apart so easily, and I’m not very much stress-proof.
8. I quit debating after a year of doing it non-stop.
9. I slept in class for the first time (hey, I’m a goodie okay!
)
10. I had a chat with the Principal who wanted to convince us to continue debates! And I have no idea, why this is here but hey, during primary I had a chat with the Principal and nearly got my name blacklisted in the discipline book, so I’ve changed
11. I’ve learned the people I could really rely on, and that I owe my life to.
12. I liked a guy (no dumbo, this is not the first), but couldn’t figure out the reason why at all (this is a first).
13. I gave up convincing people that I do not have bad taste in men and the way the look. I guess I like ugly men, hahahah! That doesn’t sound so right.
14. I met up and hung out with my 5-years Msn bestbud and my bestfriend thinks so fondly of him, HAHA.
15. I got myself hooked on Youtube (definitely a first).
16. I spent my birthday at a place I wasn’t familiar of, doing random things with close friends that I don’t expect (except Najwa), and new friends I’m not close to at all.
17. I got myself confused and made others confused as well.
18. I did many things I would never do.
19. I managed to get everything I wanted and luck was on my side at this period of time.
20. I lost a lot of things.
21. I had contact lenses then decided they’re too much hassle to be worn.
22. I got myself a planner which I update regularly.
23. I sat for SPM.
24. I spent 20ringgit on phonecalls everyday for nearly 2 weeks.
25. I used a lot of people and karma is hitting on me still.
26. I messed around with faith.
27. I got way more independant.
28. I don’t make plans and do things randomly instead.
29. I studied hard at certain periods.
30. I got myself conviced but I was also wrong.
31. For the first, I realised I do not have the answer to all of life’s problems.
32. I got rid of half my ego. Okay, maybe just a quarter.
33. I organised a couple of events and realised that I could after all organise things. Just not myself.
34. I failed a subject in school for the first and cried to it so much.
35. I cursed so much at one point when I was pissed at how things were.
36. I decided to not care so much of what others say.
37. I sprained my leg for the first time, twice!
38. I developed peptic ulcer and chronic gastric illness.
39. I made up random coversation with people.
40. I got more bimbotic, is that even a word?
41. I made a fool of myself too often but decided that I have many other things to worry about.
42. I learned that people should learn to accept others and themselves just the way things are.
43. I realised how much I really care about my siblings.
44. I realised how vulnerable I am.
45. I got to know that people can turn out to be exactly what you think they never would be.
