What a year.. it's sure good!

Yeah! let me start of by wishing everyone Happy New Year 2009!

indeed i have to agree with a greeting from a friend that 2008 was filled with lots of fun and excitement and of course there were moments of ups and downs too. Sure, the moments in camp will be dearly missed as we all have completed or "completed" our service. The sun-rise moment viewed on jurong island, i still must say simply breath-taking. The man-hunt, obviously not a fun thing to do but when duty calls, you have to.

Taiwan was the first highlight of the year, but it didn't get off to a good start as i flew off with a heavy heart but gradually, the mountains & valley and training wear it off. One day i shall go back there travelling round the island to visit and revisit places unexplored. R&R simply the best, let our hairs down and just have loads of fun before returning home and especially the comforts of my own bed. whahaha!

NDP was definitely the next highlight. Given a choice between guard duty and NDP, i will still pick NDP anytime. I am no big patriot but its a blast helping out as much as i possibly can to this big event up till the last day of official service which coincide with national day. fun-pack packing is sheer hard labour but the jokers around know how to mess around while getting the quota met.

The moment i have long been waiting for. the last highlight, to start Uni. Its all together a different lifestyle and experience. Late night of meetings and work, and mugging like i have never mug before for an exam. Geezz! And i get to actively play the horn again. Weeeeh! The first sem, tough and challenging but we sure do know how to add a little element of fun into school work to make it not monotonous. But oh dear, the amount of alcohol consumed the past 3 months surely account more than what i drank in years before 2008. hahahha!

yeah, there were bad moments too but i swore not to let these affect myself and as a result a happier life perhaps? Still gripping with the fact that my uncle has left us more than a year. i wish i can share what's going on. He will still be my inspiration and guide through life. =) God Bless.

2009 will be a busy year ahead. School work will begin to peak with heavier mods that i will be doing this year. band-wise, concert in feb and europe trip in august. i just need to get the instruments purchased and audits done. arrggghhh!!! let me rant for awhile. everything will be back to normal. hahahaha!

Till then....

Auf Wiedersehen!
