Top Ten Moments

My last post of 2008. Of course it has to be the moments of the year! Memories are so important to me and here are my top ten moments of 2008...

10. Aunt Angie had a haemorrhage just this month. She made it through her operation and after having her head drilled, she managed to recover the best she could. She can talk a little bit but her left side is paralyzed. She still has her good and bad days, she won't ever be the same again and she's going through intense therapy right now. All the best Aunt Angie... I'll always be your baby marshmallow...

9. Alone for 8 days. Sister in Europe and Mum in Perth visiting my aunt. I think regular readers of my blog will know what I'm talking about so I shan't elaborate too much!

8. Snow. The first time I saw snow (in Korea) was actually at the ski resort. But that wasn't 100% natural snow. What stands out for me was the night we were shopping in Seoul. Christmas lights and music surround us. It was freezing cold and windy, then... it started snowing. Ah... that was real nice. And something I can cross off my bucket list! :)

7. Driving around with my cousins. 2 of my lovely cousins passed their driving this year, so congrats! Ruyi and I drove around a lot with her dad's car and when I was alone, we rented a car! Man... we got lost a lot! But its so fun listening to the radio and singing along. It sure is a far cry from sitting on Jac's bed and pretending we had our own car! Haha...

6. Singfest, Jason Mraz. My supervisor at worked presured me into doing the other feeding trail. I brought my scripts along and was pretty stressed out. Some of the other acts there were pretty good but Mraz really stuck in my mind. He came out and did an awesome warm-up before jumping into The Remedy. Then afterwards, he had everyone raising their hands in the air, singing along to a section in Marley's ''Three Little Birds''... every little thing, is gonna be alright. And it was.

5. My first job. How many posts did I have about this job? Enough. As much as I complained about it, I totally have no regrets. Sure, it was 6 months of my life but I did meet some interesting people and some nice ones as well! It taught me so much and after having such a rough working environment, I am so ready to see what's next!

4. Birthday Surprise. Boy, I did not expect such a sweet thing to happen to me! To me! It was a fantastic way to book in my 20th. Thanks cousins!

3. Korea trip. 2nd time out of S.E.A. Í don't like tours but I'm so glad that I managed to experience another country. Plus, I paid for most of it myself!

2. Vietnam and Malaysia trip. After working so hard for my last semester in Poly, I was sooo looking forward to this trip. During the late night cram sessions, I was visualizing my feet in the sand and looking out at the ocean. And I did that! Plus, it was my first time in a 5-star hotel (in Vietnam)... cool man. Then about a week after that, we were off to Malaysia in our good old drive-up! Ah... fun times.

1. Graduation. That's really the big thing this year. After 3 years, it was over. I remember going back to school for the first time after the exams with my best friend to collect our robes. We went through secondary and poly together, girl! Then finally on graduation day, we all put on our robes, smilled and went on stage to get our diploma. The girls got me a cake for my b'day and we went out to watch Prince Caspian after that. Graduation was a big aww moment and one that would stay with me for a long time.

So there it is… my top ten moments. Hopefully next year I would have so much more to choose from.

Now I’m just waiting to eat dinner and kinda shaking my head at my sis who’s trying to arrange flowers. She looks stressed man… Haha…

Happy New Year Everyone! :)
