Saturday, January 03, 2009 recaps of 2008
although the number 8 supposed to be an auspicious number, but i think the year 2008 was not one for most of us/ for the world.
for me, it started out fine. school and all. but i started to think a lot about my future and fashion. do i really love fashion and how am i going to survive after graduate. you know, such stuff. and the more i think, the more i started to loathe the fashion industry, like how superficial it is. the first four months of the year past very fast. and then here comes the scary part. i rotted at home for 5 months. at first, i thought i would continue my degree at lasalle, that's why i didn't went to look for a job (school starts during july). and then things turn out that i decide to join raffles and school only start during october. thats why i got so much time at home. ha. but i think i really got a phobia of staying at home doing nothing cos i really cannot start it now although i only started at home for barely 5 days in total this hol?
during june. my grandpa passed away, its the first time in my life that i'm standing so close to death. and because of it i did a lot of thinking about life. and its not the only death that i saw last year. there's so many death happened ard... i hope there's none this year.
and is it because i spent too much time at home that i realize so many things happened around the world during my 5 months break. - Sichuan earthquake -Burma's Cyclone Nargis - Russia-Georgia war -Summer olympic in Beijing -China tainted milk scandal -US election -the economic meltdown -Mumbai terrorism
most of them are like so devastating. 2008 is such a bad bad year.
and during october, i started school which marks the beginning of my hectic life. 2 months past just like that and the next thing i know is my fashion show. another breakthrough of the year was that i marked my 3 years relationship to an end. which coincidentally, is at a time when tons of people are having breakups too. but mine was nothing drama. haha.
so i hope 2009 is a great year with great things happening. it will be indeed hectic, with all the 21s and all. and it would be the last year of my student life before entering the big big world of superficials.
