Looking Back 2008

2008 AD is pretty much uneventful. Probably because I didn't make any NY resolutions. There are more downs than ups, sadly to say. But a great deal of experience and harsh reality gives me a deeper insight of what life was, is and going to be.

I don't want to sound either a pessimistic or like an over-rated Feng Shui Sifu analyzing a series of events in a year, but a little recap to remind myself that I am still alive and well and should be greatful of that.

I appreciated the fact that I was given the opportunity to work in an comfortable executive-style office for an established human resource company. Everything is great there, the staff, the environment, the job, the pay and the coffee vendor machine. Two things I see first-hand: 1)School don't teach you everything, seriously. 2) Office politics is a dirty place to go into.

And then there is THE election. Was tad late to register. But hey, its a year of dramatic and exciting changes. Obama called for a change in the US of A, but the aura must have swept into Malaysia. And BN got a helluva reality slap from the opposition.

Then I lost my car. Blardy thieves stole it. Still hoping that it was not already in the chop shop.
An optimistic view would be I don't have to pay for hiked prices of petrol. And on a happier note, I got a new HP and lappie.

Personally suffered emo-ness for a while and appreciated the support from my dear friends. And then there is thesis. Mixture of anxiety and adrenaline rush really got me through. Depression is inevitable, but no Major Depression Episode stuff. Thank God.

And oh...its the last day of 2008. I don't think I am going to do a NY resolution.

Happy 2009 people.
