<Gonna do this on my own...>

here comes that reflective post. too tired to do it last night but meh, i'll do it now.

let's see.... 2006.

Well I guess 2006 signalled the start of the final year in poly. Looking back, time really really zooms past you.. when you're having 'fun'. Now this 'fun' consists of alot of things. They include the bitchiest moment, the very lows and as well as the damn high points. 2006 was full of em like I never experienced.

The modules I took in school were demanding, no matter how slack they appeared to be. Be it lugging around a vid camera or the manuel SLR, it was tiring. Scribbling notes during interviews with my interviewees and then tryin to weave a newsworthy stories - whew.

This year saw me going as an intern for Starhub, writing content for their World Cup website in which this megabig event happened in June. I had alot of fun writing the very thing I have immense passion for and enjoying every moment of it. Spending overnights in the office watching with my fellow Starhub colleagues was swell. Ordering Macs in the middle of 3am and then growing tired of it to the desperate attempts to stay awake... haha all good fun.

other than workwise, 2006 showed me the true definition of friends.

i knew of a certain guy who I was told by others, to keep my distance. And u know social psycho works, when someone tells u to stay away from someone, u automatically think that this someone's not one to interact.

i had exactly the same thoughts and it fell flat on my face. Cos I was actually glad to get to know this person. This person turned out to be a total opposite. Misunderstood by people. Never given a chance. well, your loss people. Cos this person aint what you think. And this person really taught me the lesson of not judging one too quickly. Impressions count, but it takes effort to get to the bottom of the matter.

And then... I met another friend who really fits the definition of a true friend. I'm very glad to have met this friend.. so glad that I'm gonna meet this gem.

and there are other friends that I've met this year in which im grateful for.. as well as those who I have met in poly year 1. These friendships have gratefully remained steady and i hope it will remained that way for a long time. Its things like this that make u ignore the past, cos the present's what counts.

well 2007's here, like in my previous post, its a new chapter for many of us. I'm gonna shape it into a good one.
and hope u guys will too. have faith, cos that's important. dont let go, dont lose sight, keep going.
there's a light in each and everyone of us..
it will never go out, as long as you have faith.

peace.
