Goodbye 2004 =)

So this is it, my last post of 2004.

It's been an eventful year for me, what with laughter and joy, heartache and angst, stress and more stress, and of course some moments of quiescence. I've definitely changed quite a bit, because my stepping into two different JCs opened up my horizons like never before.

I've met some very good friends in JJC in the first quater of the year, and it's thanks to them that I quicly adapted to life in JC. But after that, coming into SAJC was one of the best things that happened to me. I've got a great class with equally great people (yeaps that includes the three of you: SY, XL and Becks!), joined a close-knit CCA, and discovered a wilder side of me. Haha. The only other thing not going right was my grades. -_-'''

This is me in 2004...

On all things political: The Iraq war, the messy Taiwanese elections, Bush's reinstatement, incessant suicide bombings and kidnaps by terrorists... Wait I'm getting giddy already. Never mind.

On Paris Hilton: All together now... "Ewwwwwwwww". Hahhaa. The conceited hotel heiress never fails to get on my nerves. She's a classic example of a dumb blonde. No. An extremely dumb blonde. I think people are fascinated with her because they want to see just how dumb a person can actually get. She's at the zenith in my opinion. Bleah.

On the Blogging trend: Yikes. Almost everyone owns a blog now. I actually started blogging in sec 3, but it was on-and-off. I dunno, but somehow I feel blogs are the best displays of narcissism. One would yak on and on about oneself, and it's tiring after a while. But there's no denying that we are busybodies, and there's no better way to keep track of your friend's life than through his/her blog. Of course, there're some blogs devoted to politics, philosophy, the entertainment industry, etc etc. They have weighty influences on alot of matters. Those are worth noting, and great for killing time. And it's not called push-button publishing for nothing. So go on people, keep blogging, 'cos this trend is here to stay.

On S'pore Idol: This year saw the phenomenal rise of ordinary S'poreans with extraodinary voices. With cute smiles to boot. (i.e. Sly! <3) It's refreshing to see S'poreans going crazy after fellow S'poreans, instead of wannabe boybands or lip-synching nymphets from overseaas. Had a fun time chasing after the results. And Taufik will always be our S'pore Idol. =)

On the killer Tsunamis: On that particular Sunday I was sun-tanning on Siloso Beach. *Shudders*. S'pore is so very lucky to have been spared this catastrophe, and I've never been as grateful for being a S'porean. It will take billions of dollars to materialise reconstruction, and then there's the impending pandemic just waiting to happen. It's saddening to see innocent sufferers, especially children... sigh. May the new year bring new hope, and in the mean time we'll all just give whatever we can to relief the affected.

On Love: I've suffered an eyesore (bwahahaha... no prizes for guessing who I'm referring to), callously broken someone's heart, and finally had my own smashed to smithereens. Haha. What'd I say, it's definitely an eventful year! But I'm disillusioned... if it's not meant to be, there's no use hankering after it. Sigh.

On Friends and Family: Nothing more to add here. Because everyone was just GREAT. (that includes you. Yes, you reading this now!) =D

Ok... that's all I can think of to comment on. Until next year, people.
~Happy New Year!~
