what's a new year without looking back at last year.



what's 2008 to me.

i graduated from from tp. just like what fracturedfeet said. it's just a certificate of participation. it wasn't a fantastic 3 years looking at the results. in the midst of waiting for my next part of journey to begin, i found myself working in espn and participating in ndpo8. working in espn would probably be the shortest yet memorable part of o8. good people, good money, good working hours, good working environment, good location. but obviously good things didnt last long, i was out of job after 1 month plus. i know temp job won't last even if i wasn't ask to leave. but i still wished i could have stay longer with andrea and will... the latter, the stepping stone of 08: ndpo8(: i'm thankful, thankful & thankful for the fruitful learning journey those few months. i've learnt from many along the way. i've grown much more with a stronger faith within me. i can never forget the spirit, the pride among us when it rained on us that night. just like life i guess. no matter how hard it hit us, as long we are determined and strong to face the problems. we will get through it. we might even be amazed of what we actually are capable of. next part of the journey starts in sim...... joined simdb not long after. obviously, it got me blacker, bigger, scary-ier in many ways. from the first master series i've been through, and many after that, then to regatta and to penang race. experiences. i still rem my first master series, damn scary damn nervous. then to regatta, less scare. but pressure was there. afterall, all trained hard. given our heart,body,time and we wanted to win smth back. but, we got knock out after heats. it was.... disappointments? a huge big one that slap into our face. but i've learnt. i still believed we have trained hard. but i don't deny othere teams are improving as well. felt dejected for quite sometime. but of cos managed to pull myself up ; if i were to give up so easily, i shouldnt even deserve a place to row huh. in short, i learnt sportsmanship. (one heart; one stroke; one goal)

throughout the year, i made many mistakes which i shouldn't have. and i do regret on a couple of things which i could have done and avoided... .. anyway.

i hope 2009 wouldnt be the same as 2008. i want a 2009 which i would be proud to look back at year 2010.

let's forget the past, remember the lessons, move on to the better tomorrows(:
