Bill Vaughan once said "An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves" Welcome year 2007. Yes, if you have not realised, today is 2 January 2007. I like the quote alot. What happened in 2006 is already over, and now I have another 365 days in my hands to use. I have much anticipation for the new year of 2007. That is because for the 1st time in my life, I am not going to study in the year. Rather, I am going to have a great time serving Singapore in national service.
2007 brings to me many opportunities to do many things. In this year, I have the following resolutions: Become a SAF officer, Learn to ride a motorbike, Own a motorbike, Stay spiritually strong with God. 4 very simple things. I have 365 days to do these 4 things. Sounds easy? Might not be as easy as it may seem.
2006 has been a great year for me. I finally completed my formal education which had lasted for 12 years. Finished my A'levels and sigh a great relief. I met many new friends in school and in church. I learnt many things and I grew much in the Lord through my falls and learnt to depend alot on God. I have shown my friends in school the power of God and helped them in their life by praying for them. I am satisfied with my 2006. Are you? If you are then I am very glad for you. If you are not, then do not worry about it. 2006 is over. Make full use of 2007 and be sure that at the end of the year, you will be satisfied.
Want to know how I sent 2006 off? I sent it off and welcomed 2007 at orchard road. Man, its the 1st time I ever joined in a countdown party and I must say it was super squeezy. I shall not go into the details but it was really very very crowded and very chaotic, looked as though a riot was going to happen or something.
I did my best in protecting everybody that went with us but my lack of experience showed. Poor Stephanie was detached from the group and got lost at around 12am. When I found out about it from Trina, I quickly left the group and went in search for her. Eventually found her outside Paragon after trying to find out where she was through the phone. It wasn't easy. Everybody was shouting and the instructions she gave me was not very clear. Finally found her with Maverick. Thank God she was alright. So we quickly joined up with the group and continued on, making sure the same thing won't happen again.
Just hanged around at Orchard then went to spent the rest of the night at Melvin's place. My first meal of 2007 was Bak Chua Mee (Mince pork noodle) at some coffeeshop near Melvin's house. Haha. Slept at Mel's place untill dunno what time in the afternoon. Woke up to see my handphone's battery was flat. Lol. So I just off my phone lo. Turned out that my parents were trying to contact me and they got very worried. Haha. Thought I might get killed at countdown or something.
Went to eat Pasta Mania with Christine, Melvin and Joshua in the afternoon. After that I went home le. Woo, got online to play game with my cousin untill like 5am in the night. Haha, quickly slept as I was so super tired.
Woke up at 12pm by Lilin's call and she was surprised to find me asleep again! Haha, the Khongs really wake up early de ba... Was supposed to go out for today. Supposed to meet at 2.45pm but then I was too tired, so I ask if can postpone or not... Wa, then she cancel the whole thing!! Piang, made me soo guilty lo. But it turned out that there was some other reason thats why she cancel. Haha.
So I just stayed at home and played game and chatted on MSN. Had a very very important time talking today but details aside. Went to eat dinner with my dad in the night. Woohoo! My dad brought me to Jack's Place to eat! Muahaha. New Year dinner plus farewell for NS. So good. I had a medium well sirloin steak and lobster soup and ice cream! Hehe. Love it so much.
Then quickly went home. Aha, stomachache... eat too much le. Anyway, happy new year to everybody and hope everyone will have a very blessed and victorious new year!!! :) :D :P
