Goodbye 2008!
It was a good year I must say. A whole new experience actually, cause I spent almost a year (well, you can cut the mid year break) in Singapore, pursuing my master degree (finished that, yippie)...yeah, living abroad was good (for now), and teaching me lots of stuff (yeah, 'life is tough' doesn't sound so cliche anymore'). And also, living with OTHER PEOPLE also gave me many lessons (I can hear Suri says, "I TOLD YOU!!!").
So, what are the memorable moments which I can pick up from the hat (not in particular order, mind you)...hmmm, lemme see...
The final presentation...we fucked it up, but I still got an A. I'm a happy man...
Remember statistics??? 1 week of it, and that's already pushing us to the limit.
I can start with the completion of my postgrad studies, which was a relieve...yeah, no more exams!!!! (hopefully)...tell you the truth, the 1st semester didn't give me headache, it was okay enough. But, after I spend the first 2 weeks of the 2nd semester , under this fuckin' module called RESEARCH METHOD, and start studying statistics, logic, and little philosophy (too many bullshits, way toooo many), now we're talking...the last month of the final paper deadlines and final exams, was the toughest moment of the year...the good thing, I lost weight...4 kgs...and 2 days after the exams, got sick, terrible flu...and Suri got it from me afterwards, even worse....oh well, anyway, I got my results already, and it was really satisfying...and from Suri and my parent's standard...they said, it wayyy above 'satisfying'. Gotta say thanks a lot for their support all these time (thanks mum, dad....especially for the prayers, and the..ehm ehm...financial support...ehm)....
I almost missed Jason Mraz, whew...
Okay, how do I spend my time in S'pore...I can skip the shopping and orchard, too common. SINGFEST was a new experience for me...watching live performance!!! I was just 10 m away from Jason Mraz, whoa...I think it's the closest I can get, compared with my friends, though, hahaha...It was tiring, all day long, got free tanning, dehidrated, etc etc...but...I can't wait to watch SINGFEST09...
He is supposed to move in together this year...
Hangout with friends were fun, and sometimes, lame...my regret was that I didn't spend too much time with highschool friends...cause I felt there's some difficulties hanging out with my college friends. Dunno why, but I felt there's a gap there....well, what I know is, dun depend and ask too much from them...cause most of the time, they will dissapoint you...(not all of them, but i know some cases). But, one thing for sure, Gepenk, you're my best bud out through out the year, yeah...can't wait until we live together later on...
Obama...this is your year...yeah, I believe in you...go prove it this year what you can do...You're the man!!!
Movies: Until this minute, I've watched Dark Knight for 7 times, and still loving it. But, Wall-E should be my pick for the Best Movie of the year...Kungfu Panda was the funniest one, Indy was dissapointing, Hulk was okay, Bond was still great, Mamma Mia was my guilty pleasure, Forgetting Sarah Marshall was the best romantic comedy (Definitely Maybe came close). Apart from these titles. I can't remember any more..
Can they pull up this kind of thing again?
SPORTS....Man Utd won the double, nuff said...Nadal conquer the 2008 grand slams, trashing out Federer from the top spot...Sharapova, Jankovic, and Ivanovic...the hot chicks...I hope I can see more from them...Spain won the Euro, Hamilton pissed Massa off on the last lap, and last but not least...Michael Phelps is the living legend!!!
My best friend's wedding
And 2008 was closed by hanging out with my old friends. For Andre and Tessa, congrats for your wedding, it was fun, thanks for appointing me as one of the best men. The best years are coming ahead of you. Davin and Indah, sorry couldn't make it on your wedding celebration in Singapore, but I'm so glad to see both of you together, both of you look great!!.
Alicia, too bad we didn't have time to hang out together, but at least, we were able to meed for Andre and Tessa wed, for the whole day...I'll catch up with you, hopefully this year...
Thanks for the rest, Erick, Icil, Edo, Adri, Aryo, Monic, Kevin, Tetep, Erik, Astrid, and Nyo2. All of you have made the christmas and the new year's eve celebration became memorable. Can't wait to hangout altogether again...
My Sister and Temmy, thanks for the lovely nephew. Oh gosh, Arthur, I wish I can see you everyday and watching you grow bigger and bigger. You're adorable, and I know you're in the right hands. One day, I'm gonna play together with you and teaching you lots of things...
My parents, too many things to be said, but for the past year, thanks for everything...I know maybe it's a bit tough for both of you, cause this is the first we actually were separated, and the house was quite silent. But look now Mum, we can chat together on MSN, isn't that cool???
Last but not least, the light of my life, the bunny who gives laughter and the hunny of my days. You've opened my eyes, my heart, and my soul, and I have kept part of you within me. Thanks for making not just and ordinary person, and I believe we are an extraordinary couple.. (crazy couple came close actually, but we'll never beat Andre+Tessa, they're the top of the list). We may encounter too many obstacles, nonsense debates, useless fights....but these things actually making us realize that we need each other. Both of us have our own strength and weaknesses, and along the way, we are opening our selves for us to complete each other (okay, maybe you can puke now!!!)....Love you
God Bless You all...welcome 2009
