A Look Back At Year 2008

*note: these are all just my own life experience and this post is not meant to lecture any body on how to handle their life*

2008 has been a year of many learning experiences.

It is the year that I have gone through quite a lot of highs and lows,success and failures.

So much has happened, so much has changed. Of course,not every changes in life are positive but then,on a positive note,all these happenings have taught me a great deal in life.

Among the many lessons that I've learned are:

• 'Never put all eggs in one basket'. Because Life is too risky.
  
  
• Never be too nice. Because most people will just take advantage of you.
  
  
• What used to be easy today can be very tough tomorrow. Yes,I found out how tough life can be.
  
  
• People are constantly changing. Today one may be your best friend, tomorrow the one can be your enemy.
  
  
• Learn from mistakes. DO NOT make the same mistake twice.
  
  
• Be patient. A short moment of madness can cause long term damage.
  
  
• Be aware of people's intentions. Some people say I should do this and that for my own good. naa... Now I know. You are just trying to get me to do it for you.
  
  
• Thoughts determine what you want but action determine what you get. Hell yeah !
  

there are many more of course. These are just a few that came across my mind.

2008 has not been great frankly. Yes, I had wonderful moments with my family and friends. Thanks for being there when I need support. To those that I disappointed,hurted,raped, or any wrong doings that I did to you, I AM SORRY.

Okay, now lets have a look back at my 2008 new year's resolutions.
1. Study hard, get good result. I get better result than 2007 but not good enough.
2. Read more books, got nowhere near.
3. Learn to make tosai, FAIL. But I did learn to cook some other stuff.
4. Help my dad reduce his blood pressure. FAIL
5. Rely less on my parents financially. hmm... I did OK until end of the year.
6. Sleep and wake up every weekday. FAIL.
7. Turn into The Rock. half FAIL. Disorganized workouts means less result
.
8. Win a gold medal. Won to silver instead.
9. Try a fancy hairstyle. FAIL. I didn't even try ! haha.

BEFORE THE SUN SETS ON 2008,
