It's the last day of the year (31st Dec 2008, just in case you forgot what the date is), and I am at Starbucks in the middle of Orchard Road with Lyds, Lyn and Carmen (they all went to the toilet as I type this, btw) discussing some things you don't have to know about.
My FYP is due in 5 days and I am probably at my wits end on how I'm gonna make that bloody project work. My internet got cut off because the government decides to reconstruct my apartment, so I am internet-less for God knows how long. After I had only 2 hours of sleep, the thing that made my day today is calling a friend "idiot" and him calling me "dipshit" in return. HAHAH fucker, you wrapped up my year well and you don't even know it.
And of course, this is going to be a long blog.
First off, I'd say that 2008 was a tough cookie, compared to all the years I have lived, with all the bullshit I pulled through. Of course, for the most part, the shittiest days of my life was when I turned 20 (Matt of BXH and I agreed that 1988 Sagittarians are cursed in the 2008, but I'm not sure if the rest of the 1988 Sagittarians agree) when everything seem to go downhill. But hey, that is only December, the rest of the months had their share of shitty days too. However and obviously, not all that happened are shit. Of course there is a balance of the good things in life that make breathing special. I sound like a fucking hippie so let's move on.
