A Review of My 2008.

Each book has its own chapters and no one knows what will come next, not till you're at that page itself. Some have lessons behind each chapter while the others are just minor parts to lengthen the storyline.

Same goes to life ; except that it's a never-ending book.

If you've read my blog for the whole year, I'm pretty sure you know at least 70% of my life. True enough, I have had my I-want-to-leave-and-never-come-back moments but there are always memories that have held me back from doing so. Memories created by people that matter.

At one point of life, I've chosen to walk out instead of staying. Though once in a while, I wished I've never done so but whenever I looked back, I realised that everything's better now. Much better.

At another chapter, I've chosen to hold on instead of letting go. No matter how long I have realised that hopes are not meant for me, I still hoped that miracles would happen. Instead, I had to face disappointments over and over again.

There was also the time when I had to make my own decision, I did not care what the others felt and said. Maybe they have disagreed with me the whole time but I am selfish like that. I rather hurt everyone else but will not give a chance to those who had intentions to hurt me.

You must be thinking now that I'm always that mean but I am not. The incidents happened throughout the year were the ones that really changed me into a different person. I used to care what people think about me but now, I won't even bother what people have to say about me. Like me, stay. Hate me, leave.

As for 2008, I hated you. But if it weren't for another year of challenges, I wouldn't grow up. I wouldn't learn. I wouldn't have the guts to take a step forward and not regret every step that I've made.

Maybe I've changed for the better in one's eyes but for the worse in another's point of view. It is just their perceptions. As for me? I don't know if I like the current changes in me but one thing's for sure, my year has been a restless one. :)

Nevertheless, 2008 would have been different if there were no high school moments, outings, study groups, seminars, tuition friends, tons of embarrassment followed by laughter, emo sessions and random disagreements. Now, let us all move on without forgetting each other, shall we? :)

Au revoir, 2008.
