2009: Pushing the Limits

In the blink of an eye, 2009 is now already history.... 10 years ago, I never would've imagined myself actually being 20 years old and studying in a Uni. But it seems sometimes the future is far more unpredictable and unimaginable than possible.

Looking back at my 2009 New Year's Resolutions:

1. Make as many precious memories as possible - checked
2. Look at the world in a different view - checked
3. Be a different person - somewhat... checked
4. To come out, step up, and enjoy this world - eh.... don't think I fully fulfilled this one yet.

It looks like I couldn't get all my resolutions achieved... hmm... well, but at least I made it up to most of them =) Stepping out and enjoying the world as it is however... isn't something easy to be done... sometimes there's just so many things you wanna shout and scream and curse about... so... pardon me, haha.


So many things happened in 2009... There's been many fun and memorable stuff, yet also tiring and saddening times, most of them pushing the limits of what thought I already knew or thought possible. But all in all... that's what life is, isn't it?. I can't manage to list them all down, but of some of left a deeper impression in me than others... namely...

Having moved house TWICE in the First Week of the year.... was definitely a tiring job...

Went to KL for 2 weeks, ate nice stuff ^^

and spent 3 days in Malacca...

And had the BEST cendol I've tasted so far...

Had a blast on my Birthday getting drunk ^^


Learned the Consequences of missing a flight


Found out Frisbee isn't just for dogs


Realised what loneliness feels like.


Found out boredom drives you CRaaaaiiiizzzieee...


Had SIX bloody units in a sem.... and nearly drove myself MAD because of that.
So I had to throw in my all just to PASS my units. Thank God I did.


Tried Paintball... twice... and got a couple of bruises...
but forgot to take photos... in risk of my camera getting shot =.=


And lastly... Climbed to the Highest peak in Southeast Asia

-------------------------------------------------------------

2009.... truly another meaningful year. Even though there're times when I feel I could do better... I guess... you can't always do it all can you...

Most Satisfying Experience of 2009:
Reaching the Summit of Mt. Kinabalu of course~!! It's tiring, cold, mentally draining... but at the very end, it's all worth it!

The Hardest and most Painful times of 2009:
I guess there were two times. The first was during the first few weeks of my second sem.... where I had to get used to staying without my old housemates... and cope at going to campus alone.
The 2nd was studying for 3 units on 3 consecutive days... which nearly had me give it all up.

Lesson learned in 2009:
You never know until you try.


New Year's Resolution 2010:
1. Challenge myself to take a blind leap once in a while. (Instead of my usual 'surefire' methods)
2. Try something.... different... (but what haven't I tried... that's different?)
3. Love myself more.
4. Chase my dreams.


Till 2011 comes...
