A very enjoyable New Year's Eve for me this year. Firstly met up with Wilson, ZX and Nut for dinner. Originally wanted to shop first but found that we just went to Marina Square to shop just a few days ago so there isn't much to shop for either. Anyway, had dinner at Billy Bomber's with their very limited new year menu and as usual, the meals served are extremely filling. After dinner proceeded on to Orchard to shop a bit but found that Wisma is surprisingly a ghost town on New Year's eve and since everyone is shag we decided to just chill out in Mac and play the Ipod quiz on Wilson's Ipod. Headed back to Marina to watch the fireworks display. The crowd was rather bad especially with all the foreign talents pushing hard to proceed to the front. Finally got squeezed to a quite forward position and enjoyed the fireworks display. Not exactly a brilliant display compared to NDP nevertheless is a good way to kickstart a year.
The rest of them went home after the fireworks but for me, the night is still young cause there's another Greenies party at Caelan's place. It's a night of fun till dawn with Chih's Wii. First time playing Wii and found it fun but some games like boxing can be real tiring. Not forgetting the booze and the card games as well and it's one of the very rare occasions where nobody went down from alcohol.
The start of a new year is also a good time to look back at what one has achieved in the past year. So just a quick recap of what had happened for me in 2007. The first half of the year was spent in StarHub where I met all the cool Greenies especially Team 100. Even after being transferred to Callback team I was still very attached to the Greenies. Then came the two special weeks. Sadly not all stories end with 'happily ever after' and 5months down the road today, it's still hard to get over it. 也许时间是一种解药也是我现在正服下的毒药。 Next come the start of my uni life in SMU. I supposed I've chosen the right school and so far had survived well in SMU and continued to remain slack in the highly competitive environment. All the CCAs and ac-hoc activities in school had also made my year more happening and made good used off. This year also marks my 21st birthday but it doesn't seems to make much difference. I have yet to watch a R21 movie yet and being 21 just makes me feels old at times.
Back to what I have achieved this year. Looking at last year's resolution I would say that I have achieved half of what I wished for. Apart from better finance due to working in StarHub the rest of my achievements are somewhat intangible. Firstly, I felt that I looked better and my guess is that people will be calling me shameless. But looking at the before and after photo picture below taken at the start and end of the year respectively, it's not hard to understand why do I think I looked better.
Transformation 2007
Other achievements will be in terms of character development. In 2007 I felt more confident to try out new stuff as well as networking. This is also one of the most happening years in terms of going out much often for good food and stuff like that. One year ago being alone seems alright for me but now I'm quite scared of loneliness but that's a good thing. So in conclusion 2007 is a rather fruitful year for me but let's hope 2008 will be better.
