WOW.
2008 came and gone.
It's already 2009.
WARNING!! This post will be unlike the other normal posts you'll see in this blog. It might be mildly depressing and thought-provoking for some. Unless you're ready for my long and otherwise uninteresting post on my reflections of the whole of last year, you're welcome to leave right now with no hard feelings :)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2008 had its share of ups and downs but i'm generally happy with how i lived 2008 ^-^ I can't think of anything in 2008 i would like to change even if i was given a chance to. I believe all that has happened, happened for a reason and is His will.
Thank you to everyone in my life. Yes, i really mean EVERYONE.
It includes...
those who love me..
those who trust me...
those who laughed with me...
those who shared happy times with me...
those who lent a listening ear when i'm down...
those who offered a helping hand when i've fallen...
those who gave endless encouragement when times were rough...
those who offered me their shoulders to cry on when i needed support...
those who pushed me down when i tried to stand...
those who have caused much distress...
those who have hurt me...
Every single one of you contributed to what i am like today. So i'm sincerely thankful for what you have did for me and to me. It has moulded my character and i believe i have emerged stronger and more matured :)
And please don't get me wrong. When i included people who have caused me emotional hurt, it was not done out of spite or hate or anything of that sort. I have already forgiven and found peace in God. I understand that it's precisely because of these people that it indirectly helped me to grow and recognise who are the people whom i can really trust.
At the same time, through trials in life, God gave me good friends who stood by me. And i'm thankful for all these angels in my life. A simple msg of concern, a hug, or even a simple sentence like "i'll support you" or "i'll always be here for you" radiate so much warmth and love that it makes me glow from all the happiness.
But a special mention would be to my family, especially my parents. I am so blessed! Words cannot express the gratefulness and love i feel towards them. There are times when i am not in the best of moods that i actually vent my anger on my parents despite their good intentions to speak to me. After which i'll be too proud to apologise :(
But thank you Dad and Mum! Thank you for bearing with all my tantrums and trying so hard to make our material life as comfortable as possible. Thank you for always making an effort to spend time with me and the family despite being so busy with work. Thank you for always making an effort to know what is going on in my life. Though i don't always agree with your styles of parenthood, i understand all these is done out of love and concern. I LOVE YOU STILL! =D
And to those whom i might have hurt, I sincerely apologise.

2009 will be a blast. I just know it. HAPPY NEW YEAR FOLKS! It'll be a better year for all :)
