Shock Value.

THE OBLIGATORY LAST-DAY-OF-THE-YEAR POST

Last post of the year for this blog. Which has been abandoned for quite awhile now. Sorry, but my life now is more than sitting in front of the computer thinking of what to write. In a way. though I may revert back to my old ways. Ohwell.

2008 has been a crazy year for me personally. New friends, new schools, new endeavours, new many things. Went to ACJC for the first 2 months of the school year. Quite a crazy time I had, made many new friends. Had almost forgotten how to adapt to a new environment after such a secure time in Nanyang. I had loads of fun, many firsts, like wearing hongzi after such a long time, and hanging around till late in the night (late by my mum's standards). ACJC reunited me with some primary school classmates- Jocelyn Tan, Jiayin, and brought me many new friends- Yenchai, David, Kenneth, Melvin, Marcus, my form class 1SA7, the MEP class, and got me closer to my NY peeps- Sipei, Zoe, Peiyan, Janice. It was a great experience haha. =)

Then the O level results came, I got a huge but pleasant surprise, and shocked everyone by not going into Hwachong but went into RJC instead. Do I regret the decision? No. I'm not exactly having the greatest time of my life in the school, but for all the new people and experiences that I've gotten, I would still have chosen it if I could do it all over again. I've met great people, like Eunice and Stephanie, and my form class 09SO3O, the crazy MEP class with great teachers (although i still have homework undone oops), went on MEP trip to Paris and UK, met funny chamber people, and random others! Im constantly learning, though my grades dont show it (ack=/) and I hope to do better next year to not let anyone, especially myself down. Another crazy year ahead, full steam ahead! :D

Joining YO will be one of those decisions that I will never regret. Not just for the music that we play and the learning that I've gotten, but for all the fantastic and crazy friends. I've got a fantastic section- really like our prata dates hahaha Ben, Sandra, Shufang, Dinah (who's in hungary!), Tedson, Yuze, Tiancheng, Gwyn, Claron and the latest, Sipei. I've also got crazy friends from the winds like Alwyn and gang and funny people in strings like Miffy Adriel Xueqian Jonkoh Theodore etc. Learnt alot, love rehearsals, love the red music room, love the coffins and the basses, love the chairs, love the free food. And I also really enjoyed the ITALY TRIP WOOHOO. Best. no other word to describe. Can't wait for the next rehearsal!

hmm what else. Have gotten closer to my sis. She's a fantastic person. Though bit irritating at times. haha. Had alot of fun chatting and going out with her.

Well, and lastly, but definetely not the least important, thank you for everything. Learnt alot about myself, never regretted it. Thank you. =)

(you look better like that haha..)

Well. new year new blog haha. www.hohuiyan.livejournal.com no better names that i can think of oops. owell. see you!

Each second we live is a new and unique moment of the universe, a
moment that never was before and never will be again?
And what do we teach our children in school? We teach them that two
and two make four and that Paris is the capital of France.
When will we also teach them: Do you know what you are?
You are a marvel.
You are unique. In all of the world there is no other child exactly like
you. In then millions of years that have passed, there has never been a
child like you. And look at your body-what a wonder it is! Your legs, you
arms, your cunning fingers, the way you move! You may become a
Shakespeare, a Michelangelo, a Beethoven. You have the capacity for
anything. Yes, you are a marvel.
And when you grow up, can you then harm another who is, lik e you, a
marvel? You must cherish one another. You must work - we must all
work- to make this world worthy of its children.
-Pablo Casals-

Found this while doing my H3 research. interesting. =)
