Another year past by us once again.... gone is 2008 and here we welcome 2009
During the countdown to 2009 yesterday, My mind was overwhelmed with mixed feelings
feeling happy and excited towards the new year and at the same time feeling sad that we all have to say goodbye to 2008
2008 has been a really special year for me.. really special one.. during this special year i went through alot of different experience in which each one of them made me stronger each time
2008 is the year in which i officially bid goodbye to my studies in s'pore and is the year that i had longed for
~I finished my a level in year 2008 and i was able to enjoy almost a year of holidays after 2 years o fhard work in jc!! :)
I must say its one of the best holidays i ever had... one year of holidays might seem long but to me it just seems that everything just went by so quickly
~I received my a level results.. which was good and bad.... so much so that i was so shocked that i didnt know to cry or not over my results but overall i was really happy with my results and this exam is one that i felt the most sense of satisfaction ! :)
~One of my best experience of the year was being part of a singing class! :) I have always wanted to learn singing and i'm glad i made the decision to go for it . During my time in the singing class, i not only learnt many useful ways to improve my singing, i also managed to gain a really wonderful group of friends.. heyintianshi :) without them this blog would not even exist lol I wanna say thank you for being such great friends and thank you so much for the things you guys did for me before i left... Meeting heyintianshis have made my passion for singing even stronger :)
~The year in which i officially started working! haha my very first job was an admin job!
I must say it was a really relaxing job but at the same time boring! haha but i manage to experience what it was like working in the real world... scandals... gossips... betrayals...bootlickings
well, not everything was bad at least i managed to know a really nice friend from the company! :)
~Its the first year i get to travel alone with my best friends! to taiwan! it was soooo fun that i really wished i could go back to taiwan with my friends again! :)
~ After Taiwan, I came back to spore to find myself another job...Never did i expect myself to find myself 3 part time jobs... Eventually, i found myself struggling between them
I didnt regret taking all 3 of them as each one of them gave me different experiences
Bridal Veil... working as a boutique asst was one of the toughest job ever.. trust me... My boss always had high expectations for boutique asst and everything has to be done perfectly.
Nevertheless, I began to have higher expectations for myself and it always made me feel great whenever i achieved somethings i would never had achieved in the old me
Stage... Working as a retail asst is one of the most slack retail job ever... I spend most of my time reading magazines in there but haha I must say it feels kinda cool to be working in 'xiao zhu's' shop lol
Tuition teacher...I never i could teach until this job! haha but finally know that its not easy being a teacher especially during the times you just feel frustrated over why the student still don't understand something and yet you can't express it :( but yeah its okie I became good friends with my student :)
~The year in which i have decided to study in Toronto... It was one of the hardest decision i have ever made.. It was hard as I knew if i chose to study in Toronto I will not be able to see my friends often and the fact that i have to leave my family and my dear.... I've decide to study in Toronto because i wanted to have an experience of studying overseas, feel how its like to live in Canada and to be able to see my relatives...
I still remember the day I left spore..... it just felt that i just felt s'pore yesterday
Being together for 4 years and to be separated all of a sudden was hard for not only you but for me too.... I'm sorry i made the decision dear but i really hope we can go through this stage together.. Thank you for staying strong and still being by my side :)
~ Being independent is never easy.... My first time being away from everyone of my family was indeed hard.... i have take care of everything myself and i have no one beside me for me to share my feelings... but at the same time i learnt to become stronger :)
Well really too many things happen in 2008 for me :)
My new year resolution for 2009 will be to stay strong and happy and to be brave in pursuing whatever i wanna achieve and lastly eat lesser :P
Have a wonderful year darlings! :)
love,
Tiffy
