2009 in Review
yoinked from futomimii
What did you do in 2009 that you’d never done before?
Gradually got better in my exams. Its usually a sad story of grades slowly going down thru the years.
Went on road trips with friends in Malaysia.
Went on an international class trip with seniors.
Acted in a theatre play (just a uni co curriculum play but still :D)
Did you keep your new years resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I... forgot if i actually made one. Lets leave it as no, and never XD
Did anyone close to you give birth?
A highschoolmate did. Didn’t see the baby tho.
Did anyone close to you die?
Thankfully no. But it has been a lot big name deaths this year. RIP.
What countries did you visit?
Sri Lanka, the home of dimbala tea :D
What would you like to have in 2010 that you lacked in 2009?
A girlfriend?
A 3point CGPA.
Time to hangout with old friends and make new ones 8D
What date from 2009 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
There’s a LOT of memorable happenings this year, much more than the years I was in japan I would think. But im not really good with dates, so skipping this one XD;;;
What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Getting a 3point GPA this semester I spose?
What was your biggest failure?
Not performing as best as i could in my course. But ya thats what being in uni for far too long does to you, you just dont aim to be good anymore, just good enough :s
Did you suffer illness or injury?
Had that bad pain in my shoulder joints in the middle of the year. Thankfully its gone away now.
What was the best thing you bought?
Nothing really comes to mind, cos this year I really didn’t buy anything at all tbh :\
Whose behaviour merited celebration?
All of my friends who are overseas and still going strong ^^
Whose behaviour made you appalled and depressed?
No one really, just those 2 ppl on my hate list (like always) :\
Where did most of your money go?
Gonna be totally honest (and bitter) and say to fix my dad’s crv from that PD trip ahaha XD
What did you get really, really, really excited about?
Lesse… new 3eb album being released after how many years
Natsumi & Miyuki figurines released after how many years
Natsumi & Miyuki cosplayers in CF? 8DDDD
im simple I know :3
What song/album will always remind you of 2009?
Surprisingly, its not 3eb’s album. It’s Blue October’s Approaching Normal. (I still stand by my decision kemuridono ;D)
Compared to this time last year, are you:
Happier or sadder? Nothing really changed in this department methinks :P
Thinner or fatter? Mmm, I gained 2kgs, so fatter I spose?
Richer or poorer? Poorer. Totally. Bad case of financial A-bombs piling up on each other.
What do you wish you’d done more of?
Architorture work. Lecturer commented I had a chance of an A if I wasn’t such a procrastinator ahaha.
What do you wish you’d done less of?
Stupid shit due to emotional instability.
How will you be spending/did you spend Christmas?
At home in front of the tv I spose. Don’t got the cash to do anything else ahaha.
Who did you spend the most time on the phone with?
Well, skype is TECHNICALLY a phone right? If yes, then my confidant. You could call it my lifeline XD
Did you fall in love in 2009?
Technically yes, one sided it may be. Also a smattering of crushes (im not too old for it if im still in school right? 8D)
How many one night stands in this last year?
Lol yeah right. Next.
What was your favourite TV programme?
New programme? Leverage, by a mile XD.
So You Think You Can Dance for still running programme *nods*
Do you hate anyone now that you didn’t hate this time last year?
Lol nah, my hate list is still at 2, and hopefully in time it will go down to 0. Tired of this shit but doubt it will change soon.
What was the best book(s) you read?
Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities. Such a satisfying read literature AND architecture wise, being a book with no pictures and all XD;;;
What was your greatest musical discovery?
Its a tie between Korea’s Girl’s Generation and Brown Eyed Girls, AND Vocaloid. Don’t think I WANT to decide tho :3

What were your favourite films of this year?
Up! Cos it was such an emotional rollercoaster for me XD
What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
24 this year, and had a sort of a small high school-reunion-cum-wedding-announcement-cum-birthday-party at the Curve. Ah missed those high school days ;3;
What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
Getting a girlfriend of course, and less financial troubles. But other than that life went as planned for me :3

Typical me. It says something when my high school friends who haven’t seen me in 5 years say I haven’t changed the way I dress XD
What kept you sane?
Friends.
Music.
Random spontaneous things to make my days not so dull.
(totally copypastad futomimii but when it works why change it XD)
Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
Choi Soo Young from SNSD <3 she reminds me so much of Morning Musume’s Hitomi Yoshizawa its not even funny. But I <3 them both hahaha XD

Skipping this one as well. NEXT.
Who did you miss?
My WoW guildmates. Crazy bunch of ppl them XD
My Japan unimates, also a crazy bunch of ppl :P

Hmmm, cant really count ultra_butterfly , axtar & yuncyn cos I didn’t technically meet them this year.
