"It's only natural to want to listen to others reminisce about the past right now, but you should try to focus on the future. There is a world of opportunities out there for you, so how are you going to spend the next twelve months uncovering each and every one of them? Sit down in a quiet place for a few minutes today and write yourself a letter, to be read a year from now. List what you want the year to bring -- and don't forget to compliment yourself on the year that has passed."
RECAP OF HAPPENINGS IN 2008
Since 2008 is about to come to a close, I shall recap everything that's happened this year. (I did this last year too) Found all these in my previous posts/my own references.
Let's go down memory lane..
JANUARY
First day of school ;
Sec 3!
Boys in long pants, different. Haha.
New class/teachers/subjects.
Started to know the names of classmates.
"FULL COMMITMENT - DAMAI!"
Remember that? HAHAHA. When was the last time
we had to do that anyway? xD
Class photo-taking ;
A surprise one. I thought that I blinked for one of
the photos. But I didn't. Haha.
Sec 3 camp ;
These three days were, to me, the most memorable this year, as a class.
Maybe even 3 of the best days of this year. (I miss it a lot!)
The class campfire performance was very funny.
"Where's the bonding?" Yeah, where did it go? :P
FEBRUARY
CCA ;
Met the new juniors, mostly boys.
Talkative and chaotic bunch of people.
