arigatou.

it's year end. i cannot NOT wrap up the year!

2008's been an eventful year. yue yuan was the first person i led to Christ, and she's definitely not going to be my last. (: ive learnt so much through broadcast journ... and tho i screwed up the 50m question COMPLETELY, thank God for His faithfulness and mercy, i got an A-! (: my very first A range for a cs module. I really prayed tt He'll see me through tt module. i slogged hours on end and missed many music meetings and friend gatherings for tt module. and invested time and effort into yue yuan's life, and God blessed me back with her salvation and gd results. i finally see "seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all things will be added unto you." coming true in my life.

and thank God tt 207 and cinema which i barely studied for i did ok. i was worried i might have to retake 207, or worse, do terribly, but not terribly enough to retake.. so really thank God for everything. and A for Jap.. sigh.. i've not seen a + after the A since yr 1 sem 1.. but in all things thank God! (:

it's been a good year. (: we had a full berlin gathering on 23 dec. all 9 of us were present and playing tgd, rolling on the floor and around, if not in, the BBQ pit..it felt real nice, tt all 9 of us were present. =D i miss cedar.

and of course i went for Arashi Around Asia 2008 in Taipei, both shows. and im really blessed tt i was able to go, and pk too! (: this yr was a roll for pk and i.. common topic Johnny's Entertainment boys really brought us closer. it's the closest we've been these 13 coming 14 years of friendship... wow.. sounds long...

and each berliner... is so special. [the length doesnt matter. each one of you holds a special place in my heart, birls] 

thanks hui, for being the BREAST best and ONLY roomie ever!!! u are the ONE for me man.. ;) thanks for being my motivation in so many things i do (: ive been calling you Hui all these years spelt like that, tho everyone spells it as Hway, cos i've been doing it for 7 years, and i wanna continue spelling it like that. it's special. just like you. (: you're not what everyone says you are, cos you're just that special.

thanks estee, for being a great sister in Christ. you nv fail to encourage me, and i find solace in your presence, as strange as it sounds. beneath the wacky madness is a woman who knows what she's doing for God. (:

thanks pingums, for being the silent, piggish and adorkable little cutie you are. your occasionaly snorts nv fail to brighten up my day. thanks for always bringing back stuff for us fr aussie. (:

thanks shuyu, for making time for us. we are berlin forever. no matter how busy or how far we are, i believe our friendship transcends all that. that's just, what Berlin is.

thanks pk, for being my friend all these yrs. you're the one who's seen me at my oddest, weirdest, most friendless, most direct period of my life. thanks for being lovingly honest with me and telling me my weak points. really appreciate it (: who else will go mad with me over arashi and ryochan???? haa..

thanks dips!!!! for being the best dips one could have. i always feel tt i'm ok when i'm with you. like you're in control, and it will all be fine, cos you always know what you're doing. i marvel at ur genius all the time. how that small little body of yours could have such a big rich brain tt works wonders on stage and in writing and speech. thanks for always helping me in my school work. i dont know wat i'd do if we werent in CS tgd.

2008 was good, but as i've learnt, the next yr will always be better. (: i learnt tt thru arashi too. haa. i always thought they couldnt get any better, but they always prove us wrong. i thought 2007 was real gd for them, and they couldnt get any better. but wow, 2008 was phenomenal for them. awards, dramas, movies, plays, concert tours, variety shows, and all.. it's just gonna get better. thats just Arashi (: heehee. 2009 will be my 6th year of fandom. haha..

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!!!

2009 will be better and brighter!!!!!!!!!!!!
