Happy New Year me darlings!

So, unlike previous years i haven't done any reflections or resolutions whatsoever for the new year. Maybe just a passing thought here and there. 2008 has been a really trying year. Funnily enough it went more or less accordingly to what was predicted for my chinese horosope. hmmmm.
I had an awesome beginning half of the year but not so much towards the later half of the year with my infection, surgery and all.
Here are my top 10 high and low-lights of the year 2008 in no particular order:

Here are my top 10 high and low-lights of the year 2008 in no particular order:
1 - Buying my first solo airline ticket from SIA
2 - Travelling to swiss with Tan.ia for my sister's graduation
3 - Potty Pourri Outings!
4 - Heart failure due to infective endocarditis
5 - Open heart surgery to replace my mitral valve due to the said infection
6 - Spending an overall collective time of 2 months being warded in the Hospital
7 - Making new friends despite being in Hospital
8 - Having someone who has been there for me when i needed a friend, even when we are half way around the world from each other
9 - Attending a beach wedding & a wedding on water
10 - News Headlines - US Presidential Elections/ tainted food products/ natural disasters/ financial economic crisis
I could actually go on, but i realise that if i did, most of it would be low points. eeks. oh well
Since I had time, i made a quick photo collage of my 2008, not particularly an easy task since i have tons of photos to choose from lol.
New Year's Eve was a blast compared to the previous 2 years where i've actually stayed at home doing nothing. Spent it with my sisters at the Esplanade. I love it when there are Live band performances at the outdoor theater. Four bands performed that night, Quasimodo, You and Whose Army?, Tiramisu and Mathilda & the Motherfunkys.
YAWA? was a yawn, Tiramisu was hilarious & fun but i enjoyed Quasimodo's performance the most. They really have catchy tunes and despite having a foot injury, the lead singer knows how to build rapport with the audience. The only problem i had with the band was that the back up vocals were somewhat out of tune heh
Mathilda & the Motherfunkys performed after the fireworks were over. As much as I wanted to hear her perform, on her 2nd song some drunk angmohs decided to start their own dancing party in the middle of the audience and well since it became somesort of a green light the surrounding foreign workers who were mainly 'banglas' decided to join in and well all hell broke loose. So we decided to do a quick escape lol.

Wishing Spheres on the Bay
Fireworks!
Anyways i'm not really sure what i am looking forward to the new year, however the top priority on my list right now is to get a job. lol.
I do hope i can get one soon, i'm dying of boredom at home and i have bills to pay bluek. :P
Next thing would be to find what i'm looking for, maybe understand where i'm heading in life, make plans and work towards new goals. Okay its all very vague but i know i'll get to where i need to go and maybe finally be lucky in love lol i wish.
oh and i want to travel! Hopefully if i can save up enough by year's end maybe i'll take a trip to somewhere. I'm not sure where yet but we'll see *wink*
Also 2009 would be bittersweet because of my close friends who will be going away to further their studies abroad.
I am so going to miss them. Let's meet up before you fly off okay :)
