Epilogue: 2008 in a Recap

Time advances swiftly and more rapid than what you had in mind. I still could reminisce last year around the same time of the year my ten fingers were tapping the keyboard of my old laptop typing a recap of 2007 and guess what? My unfailing loyal 10 fingers are still busy tapping the keyboard, only that this year it's a brand new laptop.

January

This is the month when I begins my brand new academic year. I am located in 4S1 in which I got to reunite with some good old buddies like Sing Xian, Tan Yee, Eleen, Esther, Shirley, Ling Tchii, Bong Ping, Edmund and also some friends from other classes previously like Sze Tieng, Daniel Sim, Dawson and lots more of fantastic friends. XD. The blend may seem akward at the beginning but as we blend on, nothing is impossible! XD. We receive our diary and it is really splendid. Our creation mah. That's of course we compliment our own hardwork. XD. January is usually month of great expense. I am compelled to withdraw money from my parent's wallet and purse to pay off all those necessary fees. Sigh.

Teachers were as follow:

BM- Mdm. Ting Yee Ung (cute and nice teacher man!!), KOMSAS- Mdm. Molimanisah

BI- Mdm. Helena Susie/ Dr. Lau Bee Yian (the all-time best English teacher! PhD holder man!)

BC- Mdm. Liuk Ing Kiong (can I sensored this name? XD)

MX- Mr. Chua Pheng Khoon aka KHS PKKK (i like the way he teaches Math.. he does it the cute way)

Add MX - Mdm. Ting Tieu Wei (wealthy teacher with the coolest, trendy and latest fashion of all time)

BIO- Mdm. Norol Rasinah (seriously, whole year round I din noe what is she crapping about XD)

CHEM- Mdm. Hu Sing Min (we learnt 'bu yuan' from her XD)

PHY- Mr. Eng Bung Chai aka form teacher (well known with his high-pitch tone)

SEJ- Mdm. Pauline Ng aka KHS Senior Teacher of Humanity Department (aiyo! this one.. Felicia's mum.. always wanna control me de... haha yet a fabulous teacher)

PM & EST- Mdm. Jessica Mandau (oh.. she's so lovely. I manage to play traunt successfully during her lesson *evil grim* thats why she's good XD)

SIVIK- Mr. Samson Jawu/ Mr. Christopher Chai/ Ms. Ivy Ho (gosh. as if Sivik matters a lot to me?)

Sales at koperasi for the first week is fantastic. The figure totals up to at least 4 digits per session. XD. I really wish to see 4 digits of income each day for my koperasi. That's my dream, at least it's like a motivator to push me work more diligent? I guess so. XD. Frankly, first month I am struggling to hunt down for the post I dreamt. Sigh. I guess I am a fool when I reflect upon what I have done earlier on. XD. I desire for Chief Editor, Head Boy, Koperasi Secretary, Financial Club President and that's all. But at least I got 2 granted. Wanna how the story develops after that? Read on my epilogue of the year. XD

This month I move to a new house! Yea. And dad and mum throw 2 house worming parties. First one for instant relatives and another one for all friends and relatives. Cool! I got one brand new big room and a huge mansion *over exaggeration XD* to reside in.

My new postal address: 51, Richmond Hill, Lrg. Stampin Tengah 5, 93350 Kuching, Sarawak. XD. Thanks so much to my parents for buying a whole new house for the family =)

February

Celebrated CNY. Yea. Red packets for me. This month the post for the magazine board is announced. Sadly I am not given the chief editor and my worst nightmare aka nightmare aka low class jerk. You know who he is. XD. got the post. Sigh. And worst of all. I am the right hand man aka the secretary!

Frankly, I am struggling so hard to cooperate with him and accepting the fact at the initial stage. The total month was freaking me out. And I really do not know what to do. But I know, I have bunch of good buddies who continuously provide me with unfailing support until I go through the harsh time. XD.

March

My first exam after I waved PMR goodbye for so long. Yea. It's creeping towards half a year I do not have the anxious and worried feel before and after sitting for examinations. XD. My results are fine but not as excellent as what I have predicted. Probably due to the new format which I aint used to yet. XD. March 25, my birthday. XD. Magazines stuffs are starting to become a burden.

April


My sister bounds for Perth to further her study at Canning College. It is indeed quite sad to see her depart for such a long-distance place and alone at oversea. Yea. She grumbled to my dad verbally on the phone every night, complaining the dullness, her apathy towards Perth as it is a totally boring place to stay in and lala. XD. This month, me, Tan Yee, Eleen and Esther participate in the Eksplorasi Alam Kerjaya (EAK) competition and we are crowned the champion! Cheers for us! XD. We put in so much effort into it which you would understand if you refer back to my previous post. The laziness within compell me not to repeat the same story. XD

May

I loathe this month the most. My most lovable, dearest and the best grandma (of paternal side) left us. Oh my God! My grandma was only 72 then! God! Why did you take her away from me! You know it's really a hunting past for me and I nearly suffocates till death and I am totally struggling in the dark and wading with great difficult in the deep ocean. All of sudden a lovable grandma just left me in such a sudden. I really cannot accept this fact. Grandma, I'll always love you! May 20th - I will always remember this date. Grandma, rest in peace. Sigh.

June

The dullness in the family atmosphere could still be felt. We miss our grandma and everything in life needs a great change. I know I occasionally dream of my grandma and wake up in the morning, realising that my grandma is gone from this world, feeling hopeless and helpless like a baby, I sit on my bed, letting the tears bawl out like a helpless baby. Oh dear. Grandma, why did you leave us so soon? Life's going on as usual.

Our koperasi has also hosted the annual Cooperative Week. This year we manage to scamp through with more fascinating activities like holding every thing "one lamsam" in a day! Cool! Since we are all inexperience with that and we throw in more brand new activities, it turns out to be a challenging task for us but we really learn a lot of things. XD. Yeayea. That's why I love my
koperasi so much =)

July

Yea. I finally grab a chance to get out of Kuching and head to Sibu to represent Kuching division in the EAK competition! Best of all - NO PARENTS! Wa! I am so over the moon. It's really my first chance going outside of Kuching to represent Kuching division (it is indeed an honour). Being together with my team members besides Lawrence, Shau Jiunn, Karen and Teck Ceng is really a fabulous experience. Aww. I want to have a rewind of it although we do not win any prize during that time. The experience, the joyous memories are so hard to be wiped out off my deep heart core. XD.

This month all the clubs are giving out post. Or the so-called post transaction ceremony/ AGM. XD. Financial Club I earn the President. XD. Prefect committee board, I was nominated but eventually I turn the teachers down. Realisng the fact that I could not cope with my academic and I have to contribute other commitments like Koperasi's Secretary, ever-burdening Magazine's Secretary, Financial Club president and also the sophisticated and complicated academic work, I reject the offer for being a Head Boy or even the committee. XD. At least I know am one of the eligible and potential one. XD.

August

Amazing August just flows through the time as rapidly as what I have in mind. Everyday I know I am rushing for the publication of magazines, copping with school work, bonding with friends, seeking ways to boost the Koperasi's sale and profit and lots more. It's crazy but time just elapses without acknowledging you. That's why. Haih =)

September

Koperasi AGM - Tata! I got my secretary post as predicted. Too bad my good-o God Bro Richard has to retire. I miss his guidance and the happy-go-lucky atmosphere he and Elstan have created for our Koperasi. Life's need to go on right? So no choice lah. Facts of life. Next year this time I have to step down too right? The most essential thing is that I have to do my part well and strive my best when I can. XD. Final exam is approaching and I could feel both my feet trembling even more than ever.

October

Gosh! Examinations are harsh - for certain subjects. XD. After that continuing to lend my hands to other departments which have not completed their tasks on time. This is the month Mdm. Loo always explodes and quarrels with the committees. Ish. That's really a painful and sad moments. We bellow at her and she reprimands at us. However, we know that this month signifies the year end holiday is approaching too. Well, just enjoy the remaining days of 2008 =)

November


Yea. We start packing 2009 exercise books - again like an annual routine. The cover for next year is based on the themed colour - blue. Sigh. Disappointing. I expected a red. XD. I hallucinated too much =). Too good to be true if it's red. XD. Yea. And this time round after exam I also got to hang out with friends to watch High School Musical 3 in theatre! Cheers.

We also get to travel to Damai Beach and spend 3 meaningful days there. We all have fun. We share the joy and sombre at there. Joy - for a camp is always fun. Sombre - we throw Esther a farewell function on the 2nd night. I would not deny that I bawl out that night. Esther is heading to Auckland this month so I kinda like lost a good crapping and chit-chatting buddies. Yea. I miss her. Take good care Esther!

December

Watch Twilight with friends. Nice movie. By December, my tuition teacher has covered half the syllabus of Form 5 Add Math. Cool. Just keep my finger cross that I'll remember all the formulae. XD. Celebrated Christmas at Singapore, went for a shopping spree at KL and Singapore from 19 till 27. I manage to purchase goodies like Zara, Fila, Adidas and shop for all the things that I desire. So consider my wish granted. XD.

So the epilogue draws itself near to the ending point. 2008, in my view, starts well but throughout it has really setbacks and I have to encounter along the way. It shall resolute to live-happily-ever-after ending which most people desire. 2009, approaching in less than a day time, I do hope it comes with all the fortunes, love, peace, luck, prosperity, health and all goodies for people from all walks of life at any corner of the earth.

2-0-0-8 : Goodbye and thanks for the lessons you have taught me throughout the years. The fond memories will be sealed in our memories and we will trash the unwanted sad moments. You have been a really a good teacher to me. You really educate me something I never experience before and gain my life's experience.

2-0-0-9 : Every year I do wish the new year will come with all the goodies without boundaries. XD. 2009, I only do wish that I will excel in my SPM and have a better year ahead! And also to the setbacks approaching to us, we'll conquer you all like surfers encoutering the stormy waves.

Bid a sad goodbye to 2008
Smile warmly to welcome 2009

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009!!!
