I kinda forgot all the people who helped me through 2008 and those that made life that year a lot easier to go through.
So I shall dedicate this entry to them! Sorry I'm a little late!
Firstly, my family of course.
Mum, Terror number 1 Zachary, Terror number 2 Xavier.
Please do not (or at least don't tell me la) say my mum and I are like copied and pasted because I really do not see the resemblance.
Although I have drifted apart from my Mum a whole lot these past few years, she's still the one person I would go to whenever I need advices, whatever advices. Regardless of whether she gives me good advice, bad ones, or ignores me completely. (Kinda annoying when she does that really..)
Zachary, on the other hand, has been nothing but pure EVUL. But to be completely honest (as much as I hate to admit it), life at home without this little devil would've been a lot less interesting. He has the annoying ability to make you smile and laugh when you are mad at him. Makes you feel schizophrenic really. A moment you're mad as hell want to rip his head off his body and the next you are laughing because he said something completely ridiculous like "I have a brain, I just don't feel like using it."

Secondly, my favourite cousins.
Chinese New Year 2008 (:
Michelle, Suzanne, Me, and Yew Jinn in the back.
Suzanne, the oldest of us four. She was the one who had a long talk with me about my issues at home.. about my aims in life. She was also the one who kept encouraging me to step out of my shell and was always there for me. She's busier now with her softball pitching clinic business but we still make it a point to meet up every once in awhile.
Yew Jinn, the mother toad who taught me the words mother toad. Always calls me babi whenever I talk to him. Likes to whack me on my thighs just to see his big red handprint. He's still been a really good cousin to me in more subtle way. He doesn't really show how he feels but I know he cares :D
Michelle, we used to be a lot closer when we were younger. Not as close now but we're still the best of cousins. Our fights never lasted longer than 5 minutes. She's always looking out for me! Like when I mentioned that I wanted to go for Singfest 2008, she bought the tickets for me as a advanced birthday gift, without me asking. Her words may not be the nicest to hear at times, but you know it's the truth because she's always straightforward.
I love love love these 3 people.
They were there for me at the lowest point of my life. They have never judged me. They stuck around when everyone else started to leave. We may just be cousins in name but deep down I know we are so much more than that. (:

Thirdly, MGs!
Ziella, Fana, Syirah, Nilam, Fathien <3
I may not have known them for a long long time but these people are the sincerest people I will ever meet. I may have language and religion barriers in the group but I have actually learnt a lot from them. They are a big part of my 2008 memories. They made work enjoyable. They were the reasons I looked forward to work. Without them I might not have made it as long as I did. There has not been a single time out with them that was not filled with laughter, from the very first outing where MG was formed to the very last one that bonded us more than we thought we could be. I love you girls! Every single one of you! <3

A few more names to mention,
(I won't put their pictures up cos i think some of them might attempt to murder me the next time we meet if i do)
Amanda, you're the best dardar in the whole wide world! Although you get beyond pmsy sometimes.. but you've always taken care of me while we're out together. Thank you for the advices you've given me throughout the entire year, without you being there for me I think I would have made a lot more silly mistakes and allowed myself to get hurt further. I'll always be around to listen to your woes and complaints, and also help you with your shopping choices. (^^") Itsudemo, nandemo!
Beatrice, brahh! We went through a rough patch during the last few years of our friendship but we made it! I'm glad we're still on talking terms. We may not be as close as before, but I'm glad that we did not give up on our friendship. It'll be 13 years of friendship this year. That's not easy to accomplish yes! Sorry for the times where I made you feel like I was taking you for granted, and for the times where I was selfish and insensitive. I may not say or show it but I really treasure what we shared. Love brahh!
Joycelyn, you're like the best person to go to for advices. Haha thanks for all the times where you had to take time to entertain me and my sob stories. Thanks for guiding me through heartbreaks and life. Thanks for everything Joyce! I lurbe chewww.
Timu, (should I put your picture up? :D) I've known you for less than a year but you've been a great nocturnal friend. We can talk about anything and everything in the world for hours on end. (Although that has decreased quite significantly *curses tenvi and gunbound and anime*) You may not have noticed (because I've never told you) but you have taught me a lot. Many years of friendship to come yes? Let's just survive 2009 first. HAHA. <3
Stace, Eliz, Mel Yeo, we may not talk much nowadays but know that I care okayyy! You guys have been a big part of my life once and will remain that way. Meet up sooooon! Love love love.
Emma, MA LURVEEE. *draws little hearts everywhere* You're the one person whom I am completely comfortable with. We known each other for almost 3 years now but it feels so much more than that. Without you there would be no impromptu Macdonald breakfasts at 8 in the morning where you would be screaming on the other side of the phone for me to wake up, and I would be screaming back at you to let me sleep. But you're a stubborn little twerp. And for that I love you, because who can say no to scrambled eggs and hashbrowns. Love you and please don't ever move away from Woodlands.
Lei Jun, thank you for your brutal honesty at times, they're good wake up calls. Thank you for entertaining me with your microphone late at night (but no thanks for the screamers. KJNFDKJNS) and your awesome karaoke skillz. Thanks for being there even when I'm being rude and grumpy and not leaving like most people would. Thank you for burning the claymore DVD for me. <3 rai kun!
Ricey, stop calling me doll (he calls me doll cos my surname is wah, and he goes wahwah, and wahwah sounds like wawa = doll. not because I look like a doll duh) or I will delete this! HAhahah you're the one I go to for great laughs, you're funny in your own weird sense (as fast as a MOSQUITOOOO!) but I like. You're probably the only one who can call me all sorts of names and I wouldn't feel a thing because I'm so used to it and it's soooo you. But you've been an awesome company during the last few months of 2008 so thank you! xoxoxo.
ZY, You're the bestest friend I will ever have. Thank you for everything this past year, you've been the best, really. Keep playing the guitar k, you're damn good lah! Love you yong!
And lastly, the most important one in my life, the one.. the only..
Mayor!
Eh, wrong one.
Yup, this one.

I'm loike, finally done.
I started typing at 6.30, went for dinner at 7, came back at 8, its 9.39 now but it will probably reflect the time at 6+. But whatever. First day of the new year was HORRIBLE. But I'll get over it. Yes I will. Although the dream I had last night did nothing at all to help. Damnit, if dreams really are the subconscious mind then can I opt to be unconscious please.
And and, can't wait for CNY and CNY shopping and ANG BAOS WOOooOOo!
