MY 19TH YEAR

Happy Birthday to myself!!

my first half of this year was really full of ups and downs. let me just run through what i've been put through for this first half year.

i encountered the greatest setback ever in my life as a student by doing badly for a's and it did hit me badly. for the first time; because of the bad results, i cried myself to sleep for that few nights which i could still remember. but at the same time, i know that i have to move on instead of crying over something that's be done and cannot be undone. So now, i've moved on and learnt a great deal of lesson from it.

things in life may not always go the way we want it to be, some things are simply just out of our control. but behind everything that happened, there will be a reason and a purpose behind it. i may have screwed up a's but i believe because of this failure, i know i've somehow grew stronger emotionally. nevertheless, it was mistake on my part but i learn from it and will not repeat it ever again, as long as it's within my means. a promise to myself.


Of course, my first half of 2009 does not just revolves around the unhappy moments. there are still events that did made this few months worthwhile to remember.

through the bad times, i know that i have good friends to turn towards whenever there's a need and my family for standing by me and forking out as much money as they can to put me through university even when i thought private education was never affordable for me. i know i'm very blessed to have all my loved ones with me through the bad times and the good times. we shared everything together, be it sorrows or joy.

i took the plane for the first time to the country that i wanted to go most and that's Taiwan. being able to travel overseas is a privilege for me and i enjoyed myself a lot together with my sister and my cousin. like the endless shopping trips that lasted till late night and we even went to shilin night market at 12midnight just to settle our cravings for the chicken chop. it was my first time travelling and it was indeed an enjoyable one.

Also, my family went to Jarkata to visit my bro and that i believe my mum is the most happy one. to be able to see my first bro finally going to get married and settle down. and seeing my family happy, i'll be equally happy as them. time spent with family is priceless and should never take it for granted. i'm very contented with my life now and not asking for more.

it was a good half year and i'm hoping my next half of 2009 will be even better as i embark on a new journey as a student once again in an entirely new environment. i must admit that i dislike to be placed in a new environment with no one familiar faces around but it's still something that we all have to go through. even though i dont like it but i still look forward to it cos' it's still something new.

looks like this is quite a wordy post. i'm gonna enjoy myself today and indulge in lots of good home-cooked food, my mum's cooking never fails me most of the time. i think i will wanna learn to cook like her soon, it's a skill ok. =)

我很庆幸有你们的陪伴，有你们的疼爱与爱护。
看到你们快乐，那就是我的幸福。
我爱我的家人！！！
