The year 2008 was full of surprise and changes. It has taught me much. It taught me that I can’t ever allow anything to hold me down. Trivial matters should never stand in the way. And most of all, I learnt that thinking happy thoughts was the way to go and that anything is possible (although it may sound clichéd) as long as I believe in myself and say- “I can do it!”

This year started off with deciding not to go to school (heehee), and instead going on a vacation and it ended off nicely with me being on a vacation as well. I have traveled to many places this year and it has been very eye opening. (i.e. Super Star Virgo, Jakarta, Seoul, Osaka, Medan, Batam, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Toronto and presently in Vancouver)

Changing schools twice wasn’t easy. Your heart pounding, and being so scared of what the future holds for me wasn’t easy as well. I am glad that at the end of the day, I spent a good 8 months in CJC, it has been pleasurable and 1T12 has been more than I can ever ask for. The trip to Betesda Orphanage in Batam was definitely enriching and has bonded us. I look forward to visiting the kids again.

This year has been significant in many areas in my life and I know that those friends who I was close to, are those friends whom I will keep for a very long time.

Kisses to all of you, and extra to Khym, Mel, Dee, Debs, V, Tim, Andrew, Marcus, Guan, Antonia, Sarah, Bet, Val, Rachel and Hannah.
And a thousand more, to my family, Suzi & Stephanie, Clarissa Denise Chan and Ee Ling!

One year ago, my new year resolutions were to bring only wonderful memories from 07 to 2008, to have a happy 17th and lastly, to never forget those who have made an impact in my life- big or small.


Who knows what 2009 will bring? I believe that with time, 2009 will reveal its secrets and that through it all, God will be with me, in every step of the way.

& with that, I ask for:
1. 2009 to be a very good year
2. To motivate myself to study hard so as to get into UBC or SFU or an Ivy League school
3. To know my limits and not to ever push it
4. To remain in constant contact with those I love.

Here's to making greater memories in 2009
