Lets take a look back at 2008
the highs and lows

January
wow! looking back at 08's Resolution and i found out, i didnt fully acheive any of it

NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS 08
- fitter bod (at least visible abs) (managed this for a bit then bleah! no more abs)
- pay more attention in class (partly achieved. i still dont pay attention much)
- better in soccer (mostly out for most of Nov. and they rarely play so i dont know)
- probably end my singles life =P (how long was this in my yearly NYR?)
- turn FAIRER!!! im freakin ssssssssss (i've turned DARKER!!!)

watched CloverField and finally had our first breakfast at McD. It was in this month that I realise that i totally and absolutely SUCK at soldering.

February
Another month of firsts. First fishing trip, first time praying at the beach, first time visiting T3. A month full of test. Bummed that my hopes of visiting UK was put on hold and then cancelled altogether. There's always this year right? Job Hunt season still equates to NO JOB!!!

March
The Gyming month and me being Converse Crazy. A Laugh Out Loud memory being me and Wan standing in the middle of a side road and a car honking us to get off the road for who-knows-how-long. Yes, this memories contribute to the highs of 2008.

One of the BEST movie of 08. STEP UP 2!!! and who can forget the addictively overplayed song Low. Nearly everday of the month, the radio played Low over and over and over again and who can blame 'em? It was probably the IT song of March or maybe the year. I missed the Top 100 of 08 so i cant really tell.

It was this month tight here that I "graduated" from my sophmore year in NYP and there's more memories in that alone that could make this a very loooong read. Who could forget the 3 straight days of eating Swensens (maybe that made me lose my abs).

April
Had E3 chalet at Costa Sands. Got to saying "Infidels" in every conversation. Need I mention that Wan got OWND?

Teacher: Who got climb Mount Everest before?
Wan : (being the smart ass he is) Bukit Timah got la
Boy behind us: (oblivious to the fact Wan said the aforementioned statement...or was he???)Bukit Timah for GAYS only

Dad's Birthday. A first experience with what will happen if a military-minded person becomes a teacher. he eventually softened up to us though.

A Champion Leagues Match in Moscow with who else but Manchester United!!!
Viva La United!

May
I missed classed FOR THE FIRST TiME!! Practically booked for ALL of the Saturdays this month. I shouted "BEAT IT! BEAT IT!!" epically. I totally OWND myself. Not forgetting me farting in class. HAHA!! another epic episode of May. I think May is the epic month.

Manchester United won the Champions League!!! Who could forget me getting into a frenzy over just a girl at Jam and Hop? Trying to find her in school and regretting not getting her number. Chinese, braces, black tank, hair dyed brown. I have since given up on that search

June
The longest scrolling page by far. Probably because of the Bukit Tinggi trip. I keep oversleeping this year. That should be one of my New Year's Resoultion, to stop oversleeping. Overslept the mussolah cleaning, overslept again 3 days later. Can this stop?.

A dream which i can vaguely remembered but by the looks of the post, by brightening my day ten fold, i bet it was one helluva dream. SPRING BREAK!! A very much anticipated period in every school year

July
Bummer that we lost in CS5. There is no joy or jubilation in defeat. The month where i finally changed phones from W850i to Ku990 AKA Viewty! so that means no iPhone for me. BOOO!! and another first, even though its this late into the year. I FAILED!!! TWICE!!!! double whammy. But the elusive A has finally been caught. But I didnt manage to repeat the performance. I sense moderation!!

Had Class BBQ at ECP. Stayed over and learned a few camp games from Melvin. July 24th was a day FULL of Ups and Downs. Attended my first school event. Climb Run FTW!! a definite join for my 3rd year. Tiring but definitely fun. Its funny how people shout GO HIDAYAT. Thanks to my soccer jersey.

August
Been outta soccer commision for 5 weeks. Even my grandpa wonders if I still play soccer. Back to exams. Didnt have a National Day's post probably because I didnt celebrate it?

August was marred by the death of Bernie Mac. Who could forget his hit show "The Bernie Mac Show" and his pivotal role in Charlie's Angle. Not to mention I lost my wallet. Due to that tragic event, Agent 22 is born! Rewang'ed for someone's wedding. Bring back memories of CoffeeBean.

Congrats to Li Jiawei and the rest of the Republic paddlers for winning an Olympic Silver. This month i was introduced to Big Bang's Haru Haru by visiting Azura's blog. Only one of the many Big Bang songs I will fall in love with. I started wearing and wanting a neckerchief.Influenced by Korea/Japan's Hip Hop scene. Watched the Fireworks Display at Marina. Me and Wan found the PERFECT place to study,
Library@Esplanade!

September
September marks the beginning of the fasting month. Camp Rock was R-O-C-K-I-N-G AWESOME!!! Demi is sooo *faint*. Me, Mummy and ika's birthday this month. Not to mention Berg's, Nabeel's, Zac's and Wan's mum too.

I got a new blogskin this month which, again, I cant seem to recall. Had back-to-back MS events. First off was the Iftar, next up would be the TMSN camp. Spiritually meaningful events.

This month of 08 was the month that I became legal!!! Legally cleared to drive, smoke, have sex, buy liquor and watch M18 movies. I had 19 wellwishers this year. An improvement of 8 from 07. It was WOW! overwhelming. I had to update my blog every time someone wished me Happy Birthday. It was also the month that I tried straightening my hair. Not sure if i wanna try that one out again.

F1 comes down to town! I supported Fellipe Massa though he didnt win when it mattered the most. Celebrated Mum's Birthday at Secret Recipe. Chocolate Indulgence is yum!

October
Hari Raya month. I dont think I've ever receive a larger sum during raya. Finally enrolled in CDC. Alotta Cliques to go raya-ing with. BTS raya outing was the most epic. You'll have to go to the archives for that. If I were to write it/copy it all down, it would take up all the post space for Jan 09.

Purple baju kurung this year. Played soccer at my DREAM school, NP. Had my BTT on the 15th of next month. 1st time ever that I have to write a 3K report in something which i have absolutely positively no idea what. Also the month in which since of the economic downturn, I bought 2 Vans cheap!

November
My bookworm phase starts emerge. Borrowed 6-9 books from AMK Library so far. I think the phase has since pass since i havent come anywhere near AMK Library for quite some time.

Its surprising at times isnt it? That the year is nearly up and you still have 'firsts'. It was a first for me to ride the Flyer during Haloween. It was in this month that I sprained my ankle really bad that at first I cant even walk proper. I had to limp my way out of the court. All within 10 mins into the match. And because of that injury, I was sidelined for nearly a month even though the Doc said it shld be fine within 2 weeks. Luckily I passed my BTT. A step towards my license.

My Friendster and Facebook senses were tingling this month and till now I've only been active in Facebook. There was also the campout and fishing trip to Changi. Common Test this month. Burning the midnight oil barrel nearly every week leading up and on the Common Test week

December
To think it was only yesterday. Sad to say, I didnt do a good job out of my accts project. December is by far my laziest or most boring time of year judging from my post count--4.
I went Bukit Tinggi again. Sad to say, it was as fun as previously. Sitex with Wan, Zac, Vinc, Arm and Fathul. Bought myself a router, like FINALLY!! and DOTA'ed with Epin. Fathul made me jealous by owning Guitar Hero World Tour on the Wii.


All of that leads to the final hours of 2008

31st December 2008
I'll skip the morning part of the day and just jump into the deep end. Met Ad and Fad at Raffles Shoping Center. Fathul's secret is broken, now everyone knows he smokes. So there we were, Me, Arm, Fathul, Wan, Zac, Ad, Fad waiting for Nabeel to arrive. Checked out babes and did some catching up. When Nabeel came, we walked to Marina Square, found a spot near the lawn and camped our ass for the fireworks. Me, Wan, Zac and Nabeel walked to BK and ordered some food.

After we're done, I suggested buying playing cards. Fathul volunteered to buy 'em. We played Police and Murderer, Werewolve, Cheat, Bluff, a round of Daiji(is that how its spelled?) and camwhored a bit. The night passed us by quickly and before we knew it, it was 11.55. Scrambled to get the last photo of 2008. Within minutes of the New Year, everyone started getting up and shouting. As usual, we joined along.

When the fireworks lit the sky we sang
"OLE OLE OLE OLE, OLE, OLE."

"WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS, MY FRIE-EEEEEENDS
NER NER NER NER NER NER NER NER(humming)
WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!!! WE ARE THE CHAMPIONSSSSS!!!"

"NANANANA, NANANANA, HEY HEY HEY GOODBYE!!!!"

"TWO THOUSAND AND NINE MORE MONEY MONEY. YEA YEA!!"

we linked shoulders and swayed as if we were at a concert. It was an awesome night. Walked all the way over to Clark Quay. Arm went home first, then we got lost trying to find HomeClub. Walked from Clarke Quay back to Boat Quay and back again for about 3 times. Caroli and her friends met us there and we exchanged New Years greetings.

Arm SMSed Wan telling us that the last train departing at City Hall would be by 2am. So in the end, Wan, Zac, Fad and Nabeel went clubbing while Me, Fathul and Ad ran back to City Hall. YES WE RAN. Most of it anyway, but in the final stretch we did run. Seconds before we reached the ticket gate, "THE LAST TRAIN DEPARTING FROM CITY HALL INTERCHANGE IS ARRIVING" and boy did we rushed down. Luckily we were seconds shy from the arriving train. Fathul alighted at Eunos while I contemplated on whether to alight at Tanah Merah or Bedok.

In the end I alighted with Ad at Bedok. Walked all the way back home doubting there'll be a bus at 2.15am. Reached home by 2.30, did my prayers and slumped off at 3++.




a memorable 2008 punctuated by a New Years Countdown with a bunch of old friends makes 2008 a year to be missed.
