2010 Review (II)

In early 2010, i set to stay happy throughout the year. But i guess, there are bound to be ups & downs in our life. Things changed, things happened. What really matters are whether they ended up in a better state?

It had been a smooth beginning in 2010. I cannot really remember any unhappy incident that happened before June. This means that nothing major to note then. I had was happily busy juggling with school, work & music. Making my debut in performing at Simei CC is the highlight in the first half of 2010. Chalets and outings make my expectation for the year to be high and greater! Oh ya, that was when i began my touring of Malaysia with WP & HM! I enjoyed those times!

Things began to change a little in July. I missed my exam paper for the first time in my 25+years(then) of life. Despite getting into DEAN list, i have no mood to cheer about. Then, came the on-off friendship with Wayne. Maybe we enjoyed too much during our times together, making music, going out, hanging out. I even spent my time helping him in his school work. Soon, the fun ended. We did not hang out or sms or even MSN chat for months. Various reasons can be listed but i shall not list out. He is likely to be the fourth (or fifth) person to turn their back on me. I will take it too hard.

I think that it is likely due to IPT training that i went, my right knee begin to give way. The vigorous training weekly is not what my knee can cope. Moreover, i still went for 10Km runs... Even till now, my knees had not recovered. I missed Nike run but glad that i went for Standard Chartered run. Aim to go for 3 runs next year with Adidas Sundown being the first. May go to see sinseh tomorrow in hope that my knee can recover.

The last notable event will be what happened in Nov/Dec. Because some small issues, it snowballed into a rather big issue. Then came the outburst during my study week for semester 2. As i had slacked a lot during semester 2, it is crucial period for me trying to get the mood right to study. When i finally forced myself to the study place, i received an sms that destroy my mood. Yes, i was rather disappointed, unhappy and agitated then. Glad things were settled after that during genting trip. I know things will not be the same again, but at least the friendship was salvaged. It does not really matter whether it can get back to the good old times. Friendship and trust need to be built by all parties. As one old chinese saying goes, "One palm cannot clap!"

Annual gatherings with EC0118 & Photonics often make me feel blessed! Blessed with the friends around me. At least after so many years, we did not really make each other feel hurt. 2010 also saw my signal friends, aka Lounge 12, met up. Its a pity that i will never see all 12 get together, but i must thank Ermei for the efforts & the other 7 who tried to make it despite everyone's busy schedule. Those who doesn't bother? Its ok. I won't force. You guys just have to cherish your friends more...

Special Thanks to HanKeong. For allowing me become his wedding dinner emcee, i did not fare very well but its my 'virgin' show! It is really a great experience and i am willing to do more! A pity that i did not have much time to rehearse! I am to be a better one next time, if i have the chance! Or wedding singer =)

On a whole, 2010 had been a year of twist and turn. I am just glad indeed that all had been over... Hope a better year in 2011
