Time to chuck my 2008 organiser away, which has indeed served me well throughout the year. I've become so reliant on it such tt i need to write down many things so as to remember them. Hence, it wasnt easy trying to find a 2009 organiser which can fulfill all the criteria i set for in an organiser. After searching Prints (where I got my 2008 organiser), Paperchase, Kino, etc. I still couldnt find one organiser which suits all I look for in an organiser at an affordable price.
And then finally, I found it in Times. =)
The colour is a tad too bimbotic, very "legally blond", i know. But there's only jungle green and turquoise as alternatives, so there's not much choice. But other than this, it's a leather organiser which means tt I can reuse it in 2010 by refilling the pages, and it comes with a ruler bookmark, notes pages for me to take down meeting or project notes, some cards compartments so tt i dont even have to bring my wallet with me sometimes, an address book categorised from A-Z as well as a pen holder slot. And it's value-for-money too, cos it costs only $19.90!
So hopefully, it'll walk through a very blessed and happy 2009 with me. =)
2008 was basically a year filled with 21st parties (i actually attended 14 bday parties, oh my goodness) and multiple projects. Other things tt I can rem abt 2008 is staying with a new roomie and everything else tt comes with it. And there're the pilates lessons I attended with sha n annkang --- which was sth tt we were able to do tgr other than stupid projects and I did really enjoy those times. I can even rem mormor's classic line when he heard tt we're gg for pilates:
"Doing pilates??? Don't get piles." Admist tt semester, there was also the convo ball preparations with the seniors, and then comes internship which was a really jolly good time. Friendships were fostered and those dance rehearsals and email spams will always stay as fond memories. Then comes yr3sem1, which wasnt very enjoyable. I wld want to rem only the good times --- laugh-till-you-drop times with my 205 proj grp mates, the tuesday dinners with jodi, and the need-to-feel-happy-meals with sha. Like how we once dragged mormor with us to Andersons Ice-cream in JP after dinner just bcos we need glucose to give off endorphins in us.
So that semester finally came to a close with the release of exam results yesterday. I didnt work very hard during the exam period, maybe due to jaded-ness, maybe due to complacency. And then, I was worried during this dec for fear of failing any modules. Luckily, my grades maintained around the same range, and hence come nxt sem, I shall not slack too much for exams so tt I can go on grad trip with a peace of mind!
The results were released on the same day of my driving test and it's totally nerve-wrecking. Frens who see me often wld know how learning driving is such a painful journey to me cos I have a monstrous instructor. And in the end, I was just sooooooooo close to passing on this 1st attempt, which makes it even more wasted cos it was a very silly fatal mistake tt caused the failure. The thought of going through the circuit again (which I had survived this time) is simply pure pure agony, omg.
The coming 2009 will be an eventful one, top of the list being the transition of a student to being a full-time working adult. But before tt, I will be looking forward to my last sem in nbs (hopefully it'll be a really good one), the National Youth Envir-Olympics Challenge event which I'm organising, my sis's graduation, my own convocation, grad trip and convo ball! And then, a whole new chapter shall begin.
In this new year, may true friendships be fostered and may the drifted friendships tighten. To dear ming, yc and sf, take care n have fun overseas!
Happy new year everyone! =)
