title: 2009-The Year of Unexpectedness
date: Monday, January 4, 2010
time:3:00 AM

Hello everyone! Looking back to my end of year post of 2008, I've come to realize that I have not fulfilled any of my new year resolutions of 2009.

I resolved to:

1 - Cope well with my studies, TSD, Ben and Jerry's, my tuition job and my life.

(Haha. That's a lot huh?)

2 - Books in. Boys out. (For real this time.)

3 - Learn to drive and get myself a vespa.

4 - Lose more weight. Be like 48kg.

5 - Grow taller.

Well, as you can see. I have not gotten my drivers license (only in theory!), grown taller or gotten skinnier, or can be considered as an A level graduate yet. Therefore, all my 2009 resolutions have fallen through the roof. However, this doesn't deter me. I have another set of 2010 resolutions that I have made and I have resolved to see them through. I ended 2008 on such a high note, looking forward into the new year. But somehow, my energy for the new year is all drained. In fact, I can feel myself hesitantly dreading it.

Anyways, in 2009. I didn't expect many things.

First of all, I didn't expect theater politics to be so overwhelming. I also didn't expect to enter MSU Finals which eventually led to me being dropped out of my TSD A Level Practical group. Perhaps it was due to poor time management on my part that would eventually jepordize the group's overall performance. Whatever the case was, things took a turn from there.

I made a lot of new friends through this, and it was the start of something even bigger.

After which everything ended, I didn't expect myself to get into Singtel Grid Girls Top 21. Now when this happened, the situation in school didn't get better. I had to make a hard decision and choose between this or TSD, even with the new batch. Previous experiences led me to decide to give up the latter for a 'greater good'. It was something that was so hard to do. You see, I've never loved anything and sacrificed as much as I have for theater, and I was about to give that up.

Anyways, Singtel Grid Girls was good exposure and experience. It opened my eyes and mind to many things, and I also made lots of good friends and went to London and Bintan and had the opportunity to be on TV.

Singtel Grid Girls took up a big portion of my year last year. 5 months odd to be exact. I remember rushing to Mediacorp for rehearsals in my school uniform and studying during breaks on race day itself. I also remember the phone calls asking why I wasn't there while I was still in school. How can I forget to mention about the incessant meetings my Mom had with my school to discuss about my academics?

2009 was the first year I ever stayed back a year. Thus from July onwards, I was no longer in 08A04, my class was now 09A04. I managed to stay on in J2 long enough to get invested out of council. One of the few reasons that kept me going to school everyday.

09A04

Thankfully I survived promos (again) and managed to get my butt promoted. There are so many technicality errors but I shall not dwell on them because I'll sound like a nag.

Anyways, after school was out, that was it for books for me. I spent a lot of my time working, acting, partying and hanging out with friends. Honestly, until now, I haven't done my holiday homework. Which I WILL eventually get started on.

You see. Despite the big pit hole that I fell into in 2009, many good things also happened. I had an awesome family and friends. I got into The Young Co and ColorFunk. I discovered Word of the Actor. I am working on films and doing what I love. I attended two Commissioning Balls and I went to Hong Kong to be a guest VJ for Channel V. On top of all that, I met some amazing people along the year.

Pictures speak a thousand words.

Do I need to even mention about my best friend Su Shan? It's been 6 years and counting and we're still going strong. Haha. This will be the first of many changes to come in the future. But I'm just very thankful that she's always been there for me. We're completely opposite people but we somehow still click.

My two best friends. :)

The regulars. (Pictures in no particular order)

Awesome friends from school :)

Cell Group :)

The girls who I usually spend my nights with :)

HK Trip :)

There are recent pictures of my family but they're not uploaded into my computer yet. When they are, I'll post them up.

So it's now 4.16am and my brain is hardly working. I'd love to tell you about my 2010 resolutions but I'm afraid doing so will jinx it. I'll see how it goes.

Semi finishing this entry actually kind of makes me look forward to the New Year. Perhaps it's just a gust of wind. I may be imagining it.

Good night! :)

Happy New Year to all!
