and what was i doing? i was at home, with a cup of milk in one hand and a piece of cake in the other, reflecting on the previous 2008 and all its happiness. sadly, i didn't find too many. but i did collect a few highlights of the year that sure did catch my attention. glad that i have some photos to show. and here we go...
The year started with me doing my happy dance because I FREAKING MADE IT INTO PURE SCIENCE by a string. disappointments came later when i realized, my class ain't what i thought it would be. what a blow to the many dreams of a perfect sophomore year. but i did meet pretty insane cool bunch too.
and they took me out for my birthday!
Got a new clique .haha, not really.but we call ourselves the tripod/triangle. yea, how original, right?
Switchfoot came to town! God answered my prayers after 4 years.They were freaking awesome.
I joined a cell. Skip straight to the mid-year. took my exams, and headed down to Singapore Camporama for holidays. it wasn't that great, to be honest. but it was my first international camp.and made a new friend there, he's chindian the only chindian to be found in singapore. haha.
We met phua chu kang there. and visited the singapore zoo.
Headed to putrajaya for an amazing fireworks show.
Went up against the rubberduckyschmuckies in treasure quest.Then in August, one of the greatest things happened to me. Something i'll never forget. after some insane headbanging, jumping, screaming at the top of my lungs to get some stupid sticker, i was chosen to be part of MTV Asia Awards mosh pit! along with ivan, shawna and yilin.
made a bunch of new friends there.That day was a real dream but not long after that, we had to return to reality. exams came along with that too. got through it day by day untill my birthday came. then it was time to partayyyy.
A well deserved charlie chaplain to that.So came the end of the year. i took a couple of holidays with my family. it was incredibly short though, because my family is unusually in all directions. a 2 day trip down to melaka and PD had to suffice.
Tried Breaking the law.
Got an underwater camera for our entertainment.
yes,a satisfying holiday with my rather looney family.
Had tons of fun with the kids at vbs, towards the end of november.Then the highlight of the year came. Mission trip to thailand! its been 5 years since PJ and Klang have had a joint mission trip. so this is the next generation.it was also my first time to thailand. in just 10 days, i fell in love with the country. seriously considering living there one day.
fell in love with the kids there.
Got my first snake bite. and lived to tell the tale,later on killed and cooked and ate the snake up. oh, and brought the skin back :)
A few darn cool jumping shots.[the camouflaged one is shawna btw.] 
Tried fried grasshoppers, flies, bees and some other insects for the first time. and i'm not kidding when i say, they taste like chicken.
Remember Sungai Mekong from sejarah and geografi? yeap, thats it behind us.darn cool.Then i came back. and missed the place sooooo much. sooo sooo much. wishing everyday that i could go back. anyway, i had to get ready for Youth camp. which came 2 days later...
Visited friggin' cold peacehaven. again.
Re-united with Old friends who did the smart thing, studying overseas.
Re-united with family members too, all the way down in singapore for christmas. thats my couz from hongkong. haven't seen him in 2 years.
Visited the best place on earth again. Singapore zoo! and thats inuka, the awesome Polar Bear! i'm his no.1 fan .i actually met phua chu kang twice this year. so thats twice to the zoo, twice meeting gurmit singh.
And after 2 years, we still stick together, somehow.Happy new year people!
