2008's whizzed past in a flash:) it was good, it was bad. it was bitter, it was sweet. happy, and sad. a turning point in teenagehood.

o levels year. funny what i dreaded last year was over, and surprisingly the process was stressful but enjoyable when i looked back. how i was hopelessly crippled by physics, and in just months i was semi decent at the least. i never gave up.

stepping down year. the mix of emotions. torn between wanting to let it go and wanting it to be for keeps. before we stepped up the year ahead seemed too long. but being on the job made the year passed as though it was a day. a wonderful one. all the friendships condensed into into an intertwining web of laughter, forgivness, happiness and toughness.


16 year old year. i would have thought the change to be exponential. yet when i woke up the next morning, i felt the same. just older. and weighed down by the thoughts of the exams approaching. plus, a basket FULL of presents from my lovely friends at midnight:) old enough to not want to be a kid, but not enough to totally stop being one.

responsibility year. suddenly we seem to be in control of our studies, CCA, blah blah. SCARILY, we survived. suddenly all the responsibility that others were carrying for us is on our back. and i learnt how to deal with it.

splitting up year. after that last paper, we were afraid to let go. it seemed astounding that we made it through. we swore not to forget our promises to keep in touch. did we? happy at the thought of days of leisure, scared by the thoughts of not seeing the familiar faces we were so used to seeing almost everyday, unsure of what to expect during this much yearned for, yet at the same time, much dreaded holidays.

so what will 2009 be like?

happy i hope. but with the right dose of reality to keep me reined in and grounded.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!:)
