2008: Change is the only Constant.

Summing up the entire year in two words: Messy but Gratifying

ORDing on Chinese New Year Eve was said to be auspicious and i believed so for the first few months after that as life was good. However, life took a downturn when school started in August. I guess i underestimated how hectic school would be! I guess that was partly the reason why i under-performed in my first semester. That would not happen again.

My passion for music rekindled in a much different way. It's scary how i suddenly became into it all over again! Talking about music, i attended A-Mei's concert this year and it was the BEST concert i've ever been to in my life. I was impressed again and again by her vocals and you could say that was part of the reason i was so into music again. I also saw Rihanna in flesh and blood, along with thousands of people. This new found passion also took me places, like getting the chance of a lifetime. But i let it slip through my fingers as it was not what i was looking for and it came at the wrong time. It maybe sound stupid but i live on the belief that opportunities will come and go and the right one will come along if i put in enough effort. Oh while i'm on this, I really do not appreciate negativity from people who think they can diss my efforts without thinking.

Perhaps it's part of growing up, coupled with the increase in self-expectations and expectations from others, i've become less sociable and more private this year. I'm no longer the happy, sociable person people used to know. I guess I'm also just too tired at the end of each day to play the game of friendships. This year, I made a great number of new friends, and they are a motivating bunch of fun-loving peeps who share the same passion as me.

In 2009 ... I want to be better.
Better on stage, better in dance, and better in my studies.
Like what laoshi said, sometimes, you have to fight for your own opportunities and sometimes, it's just depending on your luck! =)
