happy new year everyone! unlike everyone, i delayed my first post of the year because i simply didnt see whats the big deal about the beginning of another year. though 2006 didnt end so well, i'm glad its over. but i can't deny the fact that 2006 did have its good moments. like the time when i was teaching. the 3 months that i taught in dunearn were truly memorable. the heaps of worksheets that needed to be checked. the long hours in the office preparing the lessons for the next day. the non-stop chit-chattering of the monkeys in class. the projects that needed vetting. it was all worth it. the smiles tat u get in return. the love and admiration that ur students show u. the bond that u have with ur students. these are the things that, i suppose, spurs ateacher on to do better and to continue teaching despite its difficulties. to all my 350 students, thank you for the wonderful memories. you guys made my stint one that will remain edged in my memory for years to come.
then came the big blow. ARMY!!!! bmt school2 pegasus company may have been viewed as a welfare company. but imagine being under sutan a.k.a setan. its one stressful recurring nightmare that just refuse to go away. but the bonds that u make with ur frenz there is jus so memorable. to the pegsy sistas aka tecksoon,kah hong,jevon and chang yang, u guys made my experience in bmt one that i will never forget. the thick and thins that we went thru together. i couldn't have made it thru without u guys. esp kah hong, without u pushing me every nite to train for ippt, i would have failed. and the encouragement u gave me,despite being tired urself, for soc helped me to the end. and of cuz of endless bitching moments together aong with chang yang. haha. and chang yang, u're the first person i talked to and the first fen i made on that dreadful island! remember the first time sgt firdaus asked us to strip down to our undies outside section 2 on our first day? from tt moment, i knew we'd be bitch buddies! haha. loveu guys loads man!
and then came the most life changing experienceof my life.driving course. truly the most stressful experience of my life yet. the constant nagging and screaming and cursing of the instructors makes the course feel worst than A level itself! and the weekly theory and practical test really made my head spin! luckily i had pals like glenn, sunil, hairwis, zakaria and fadzly that constantly pushed me to not give up.for without them, i would have surely given up after the first tp!what would i do without u guyz?
so now,my life has more or less stabilised. im just gonna do my time in jurong camp and hopefully come out of it accidnt-free. to my seniors, rani, ashraf, erfin and amin, thanks for watching out for me and teaching me the tricks of the trade of being a driver. i really appreciate your help my Big Friendly Giants! and to my present bunkmates, nizzam,mon,vineet,aliff,bull,haji,irfan and tee hopefully we'll be able to forge a stronger bond this yr. lets watch out for each other and lets make our bunk THE Hippest bunk in town ya!
one more year to ORD and to the much awaited start of uni life. i cant wait! to all my frenz past and present, thank you forhelping my pull thru 2006, one of the most difficult years of my life. especially to the SZB and fuzion, didnt expect our friendship to last this long huh. my life would have been so different without u crazy ppl. definitely a lot less bitchy and a lot less fun :) to the three monkeys. chimp,gibbon and gorilla, u guys are truly great frenz. always there to hear me out and to be there for each other. i love u guys to bits! to hy,jill and isaac, 2006 was so quiet without u guys! i miss u 3 pigs so much!
finally, to those ppl who treated me like thrash 2006. i'm glad to inform u that u guys haf achieved ur aim. 2006 was a living hell because of u pple. the amount of hurt u've caused me. the uncountable numbers of sleepless nights, the buckets of tears i poured and not to mention the immense amount of hurt you have inflicted upon me shattered my heart to powdery dust. well in case u dunno who u are let me just name u. orangevic, hammy, swimmer, aneroxicfreak and taechonson thanks for nothing. i wanna let u pple know that i've forgiven u and most definitely forgotten you. so will u idiots jus cut me some slack and give me a break.
so, for 2007, here's my motto. to give ur best and expect nothing in return. sounds simply? try it. its the hardest task any human attempt to do. if u can do it, let me tell u that u're a step closer to nirvana for expectations are the very reason why so many lives are destroyed.
so lets all wave good bye to a very horrible year, 2006 and to our dearly departed saddam hussein. my the Lord have Mercy on u.
