Reflections..

So here I am again, my reflections in 2009. It was a hectic year. So many things happened during the year, as it should be. I WENT TO SPAIN! I made new awesome friends, friends that I will surely never forget ever again. A new school life that started in April now seem so near after all. I even realized I knew who my true friends were, and those who just needed me for benefits. I also realized myself getting really soft-hearted and tried my best helping my friends as much as possible even if it means a disadvantage to myself. I thought I found myself a more useful person to my friends and my family.

I got my driving license, probably the first among the people in my year. How fast that is when just.. 2 years back I was still studying and enjoying school life. With my license, I surely got closer to a lot more of my friends. Able to just hang out awhile into the night and reminisce about the past.

To a great success though, I cut down on my drinking. Now my house is full of alcohol of all kinds. I stopped the crazy ongoing of clubbing.

This hasn't been a real reflection of my 2009, it has only a small part to what I have just said. The real reflection that I know of is, I think I have yet to change as a person, personally. I am still that kind of guy that, hopefully you can depend on if you are in any trouble. Friends are of the highest order in my life alongside my family. In my realization, at the back of 2009 was a year for me to actually quieten down my life. All the happenings and all the partying in the early days of 2009 gradually stopped. I rather myself stay at home and that helped me spend a little more time with my family members. I also realized my thinking has surely matured a lot, though I still love to have fun no matter how mature I think I am. I haven't really changed as a person since leaving secondary school.

To another extent, I have to reflect on the downs of 2009 as well. Though it wasn't all up, I always tell myself to put a smile on my face no matter how sad I am so that it wouldn't affect the people around me. 2009, if my life could get the boredom out of you, could have been a tragic year. I didn't get the results I expected for my 'O' Levels to get into the course I wanted. Right after that, I got rejected by the one I pursued for more than a year. It affected me quite a bit. I had never gone after a girl that I barely knew and somehow, just got closer and closer. A year of courtship and of me taking the whole initiative, I just rejected there and then. I released myself for almost a year, moving on from her but staying as good friends. In between, it was quite a good thing I didn't have to take any sub-papers for my first semester though my GPA was a piece of shit in the end. And in the last 2 months of 2009, I was close to a friend that I knew since Primary3, and barely stayed in contact in the whole of secondary school. It was only in poly that she really caught my eye. Too bad, again I'm rejected, twice in a year. A first for me. I soon found out that a girl in class was interested in me and that is a whole new story ready to progress into the next year.

2009 has been a good year if I must say.
