2009 Was Fun, Don't Ya Think So?

Life~

Okeh, finally 2009 has come to a close. I swear, exactly a YEAR ago, I thought 2010 would never come. But come to think of it, it wasn't very long ago. It felt like just yesterday I was fearing for my STPM and hardly clinging on to many people and things I held dear. It sounded like I had a horrible year last year but actually it was not that bad. Yea sure, some of my close buddies had to leave for their studies but when they had their breaks at least they were back and it was always nice to hang out or just sit a and reminisce. Haha.

In 2009, I officially became the Deputy Head Boy of my school. 6 years ago, when I first started out high school, I could not see this coming. Back in 2003, when I was just 13 I have to admit, I was really impressed with how the seniors of the school so I hope I left a good impression on the little kids of my school during my term as a deputy head boy or the Deputy School Captain. I didn't do much but it was fun while it lasted but I think whenever my School Captain needed my help, I was ready to lend a hand.

Besides that, I officially retired from scouting. Some of my friends retired a couple of years back but because I went back for form 6 I had to participate for another full year. If you ask me, I think I ended my term on a high. I have ALWAYS wanted to organise a camp differently. To me, I had to change people's view on camps as an activity that gives more than it takes. For many years now, Camps gave everyone memories but all of this came with a price, literally. During Traplex 08', me and my board of excos did well to slash the cost on organizing a camp. Many criticised it to be a fun camp and we were too lenient on the campers. Well, that was exactly what I want for my camp. No one is suppose to suffer and the only thing I want to see from my campers is to smile, smile and SMILE. NO ASSL in my scout troop is as down to earth as I am and that is something I am very proud of.

Sports, I was not an exceptional sportsman but I could run and I could jump. Compared to the rest of the jocks in my school, I am probably the lousiest. Haha. As the Captain of the Cheeseman Sports house, I am proud to say that I have exceeded expectations. If it wasn't for my brilliant board of committees I would not have gone so far. We had a rough start, finishing at the bottom during the Cross Country but we picked up the momentum from the next few events. There even came a point of time when we were challenging the top 2 houses for the top 2 spot but it was only for a brief moment. Haha, but it was a GOOD brief moment. Whenever it comes to Cheeseman, I get real excited because I had a really good run with the house. Started out as a normal member. I moved up to an "acceptable" athlete. Later on, I got promoted to Tent decorations then next was House mascot. I designed the mascot and wore the suit for my house. =D In 2006 I was the volleyball captain for my House. In 2008 I was made the House captain and finally capped off my days as a proud Cheese'man' by carrying the Cheeseman flag during Sports Day. Hehe. =D

Friends. This is a pretty controversial topic to talk about but after 2009, I know who is really good to me and who isn't. I had some really really good times with the boys. The girls were good to me too. People like Gaik Lyn, Seok Woen and Han Lyn has always been so nice to me. Yuh Ting, yes she might be a bit pelik sometimes but I think shes a really nice person and I am proud to have her a friend. Pei Qi might be a childish but hey thats what everyone likes for right? Lol. Ting En has been supportive and being a year older than me, I sometimes look up to her and you would be surprised with the amount I picked up from having simple conversations with her. And to all my classmates, you guys are one of the coolest bunch I've ever met. Never thought I would say that but hey, you guys are actually REALLY cool! Lol! I am not gonna talk so much bout the guys, to cap it off, the guys have been rather 'disappointing' this year. I just cannot tolerate ignorance. But there are still those that I know are genuinely nice people.

The sad parts of 2009 is pretty much too actually but I think stuff like that is forgettable. I had one of my best friends stab me and I had my other friends just ignoring the horrible truth and chose to just sit and do nothing. I have already learned to let that go and not hold grudges because at the end of the day, nobody wins. Sucks huh? but I think lifes not about who is right and who is wrong. People do shit all the time and we just gotta look beyond the shit and I know, it wont be as horrible as I initially think it to be.

Ah, I can't think of anymore sad parts of 2009, STPM stress? I guess thats another. Haha. Stress from crappy Sports house and Scouting matters. Yeah that isn't a walk in the park too. But the year is finally over and I just hope 2010 will be a much more happier year for me. I'm not saying 2009 is hella sad, but I just want it to be happier. Enough of drama. Smooth sailing from today onwards and Im'ma smile more. =D

cyen/tristan - Heres to another awesome year.
