but what i'd do is what i like to do best: ramble on in a long post, thanking everyone who has made a difference to the year 2007 :) i'm starting to think that perhaps xmas cards are really a good idea, made me feel so happy when i receive them! but til next year, my thanks would come from this post. haha. too many people to thanks, too little time
alright. 2007.
comparing it with 2006, definitely a much better year. sure there are THE couple of incidents that would definitely outrank any of those in 2006 in terms of horrid-ness, but i still can safely say as a whole, i was much, much happier this year :) as for unpleasant times, well, actually i'm pretty thankful for them because i'd like to think i'm a smarter person now who's more realistic about matters of the heart. okay lar, i'm still quite stupid sometimes, but i'm improving! hehe. i have people constantly reminding me not to do stupid things alright? :)
i guess i was much happier because for one, i have awesome friends that i got to meet up so much more often! especially for the 2nd half of the year, where i seemed to have too damn much time on my hands, and when all the army boys seemed to be booking out every other day. haha. and obviously, results-wise, i'm much more pleased (but of course, having started out on virtually no expectations, that's to be expected. heh) and extremely motivated. next semester, maybe i'd try to poke at the 4.5 mark for the exams. -deadpans- HAHA. sorry. JOKE.
the second year into nbs, first year into marketing. i love what i'm studying, but i'm still not performing very well in my core modules, and next semester there are going to be 3 of 'em. so it's make or break time :)
and yes, how would i have been able to pass the nasty times in 2007 without said awesome friends? :) the ones who listened to me patiently, who gave me sound advice, who scolded me when necessary -looks pointedly at Good Friend- , who accompanied me when i needed them, who, well, just were there! I LOVE YOU ALL!
study group peeps! :)
such an enormous part of my life. in fact, i think we met up at least once every single week during these holidays! (for the past two weeks, we've been to jiayin's house THRICE. hahaha) the people whose company i've grown so accustomed to, that now it's going to feel weird not seeing them too often in school!

the people who'd never fail to cheer me up, the outings which i'd definitely make time for, even the impromptu supper outings, even when i have a ton of work waiting for me. :) yx and hz, for lunches after 214 on tuesdays, jyn for driving us to last minute outings, huimin PLEASE APPEAR MORE OFTEN! and chua 少爷 for all the spur of the moment meetups where you and yx entertain the heck out of me. haha. and eric lar, always entertaining.
a special thanks to miss foo for listening especially much during those traumatic months, and to both you and zhi for those extremely-necessary-and-hilarious comments about certain people in a certain class of yours! :)
CANT WAIT FOR THE HONGKONG TRIP!
my Good Friend! hahahaha, this picture makes me want to laugh until i DIE. eh well, Good Friend derek would like you all to know that he looks like shit in pictures, but he actually looks fine in person, hence the mosaic-ed face. (but seriously i have the exact same picture in an august post. hahaha)definitely one of the best new things that came out of studying in NBS. (WAH 感动not??) but honestly, he's just about one of the rare few people who would indulge in my annoying repetitive whines about the same old things, and he's the only guy who can ask me to "shut the fark up" and tell me i'm "a farking idiot" and i won't be pissed. HAHA. because i know 都是出自一番大哥的好意. and once again, i'd like to tell my 大哥how annoying it is that he's not a girl because then i'd get to be a bridesmaid at his wedding! TOO BAD, YOU ARE STILL GOING TO INVITE ME. heh.
vjco! good ol' seah and william can ALWAYS be counted on for last minute slacking sessions at Cafe Cartel. hahaha. -glares at jj and leed- and even though actually there exists a generation gap, as how william always like to say (despite the fact that they're only one year younger -.-) we still can happily spend a whole afternoon doing nothing but talking rot. :) and of course miss seah, just about one of the most reliable people around, whether it's for gossip or good advice. hey, we survived one of the weirdest outings ever together, alright?! hahaha. (poor seah still suffering from the aftermath HAHA) :) we still need to go iceskating and JBP together!!
my ktv boys! we're always up for a kbox session, whether it's at liren's house or anywhere else. always a whale of time when with them, and i love how candidly honest they are with me regarding loads of things. NOTHING IS CENSORED! definitely a good source to understand the complex male brain. ;)heehee. sianghan please appear more often can! and bring jamie!!
and old friends that i found back! so great that me ber and hf found a shared love for clubbing (oh alright, i don't quite like going too often because i find i too much of a chore), and also good ol' wil my best phone buddy! hours and hours of gossip.. where to find someone so willing to waste time on the phone with me?? :) here's to more clubbing and ktv outings!
my marketing girls! so glad to have found them in marketing, when i initially thought marketing was such an unpopular choice. pity not all of us could be in the same classes for next semester, but well, there's always year 3! and shuxian! hahaha we should take more electives together so we can get more As together yeah? :)
dhsco com :) but actually the same few of us have been meeting up so regularly that i've already quite lost the notion of it being any sort of com outing. in fact, the lines between all the groups have already been blurred (like how mj said, he cannot remember which group outing it is already when i'm there; vjco, dhsco, study group?? hahahah) but obviously, always nice to meet up with them!and all of the other people that i couldn't quite fit into any groups. hahaha.
the Biatch himself. hahaha. sure we annoy each other sometimes, but tough to find a biatch like mr TBX! just as narcissistic, just as bitchy, with a shared love of taking unglam photos and chilling out at taitai places! here's to a year more of gossip and Dempsey trips! :)(yes i realise you belong to dhsco com group, but special mention to you lar!)
dee! fellow online shopping and gossip addict ;) argh we haven't got the chance to meet up this hols!! please come crash nbs soon!! thanks for all the very sound advice you've given, and of course thanks for being the source of bitchy gossip from the world of Law. hahah.
and to many many others whom i can't remember right now. (i've been at this entry for the past 2 days can! i don't have the mental energy to sit down and type for so long!)
to all the people who have helped shape 2007 to be the awesome year it was, thank you :) may 2008 be more of a blessed year for all of you.
i have so many wonderful friends. there's really nothing more i can ask for :)
