2008 will come to an end real soon. I heard many "wow so fast!"s. hrmm fast?
Personally for me, I think 2008 was not really so fast cozz so many things happened!
Last year, or last last year, it was like.. okaaaay, the whole year was just school, school school and school. RP, home RP, home, RP home and so on.
However 2008, I must say.. I had many new experiences. It was no longer just RP and Home.
Well, for my last entry here, im gonna highlight the salient events occured in my life in 2008.
Earlier this year, I was stil in my final semester in Republic Poly. Juggling UTs, FYP and daily grades.
With the thought that we're graduating, everyone was super excited to end their poly lives. I remembered rushing my FYP. Report and poster for presentation. Alhamdulillah it went very well and I got a B+ for that. Wheehooo~ =D
Finally it was graduation. We had our School of Applied Science High Tea before the real gradutaion convocation.
I remembered going to the High Tea with a crutch too. That was my first time going out with that. Sumpah I never like using it outside. It made me looked like mintak belas ihsan gitu.

It was in 2008 too that I injured my knee. It happened during training when we were practising a kejatuhan, namely Nike. I regretted resisting too much till my ligament could not stand any further that it snapped. Really, I heard it snapped! I should have just go with the flow and make myself fall.
Sigh. No use crying over spill milk. But the incident had really changed my life. Though it heals up slowly, I still couldnt run properly. The doc said theres no cure for ligament injury. The only way is to have surgery where it'll be replaced. And physios only aid to make the muscles stronger so we are not so prone to injuries again.
So there u go~ I was and still am sad about it. But yeah, I know everything happens for a reason. And the saddest part of all, I cant exercise as vigourous as before. Each time I do, I would have to do it cautiously, which in turn, wont make me perspire as much as before. N yes, my weight kept gaining after the incident. ITS TRUE.
Now tell me which girl wouldnt feel sad about that.
Nvm about that, lets continue with my 2008 events!
yes graduation!! It was really a happy + sad moment. Funny isnt it. Happy that I made it through 3 yrs, but sad coz Im leaving the dear school and friends.

I had a very loooong holiday afterwards.
And for the first, I got my feet into KL. It was a school trip. We visited University of Malaya. We were supposed to go for a competition. Due to errors over there, the competition was delayed.
And our trip changed to some friendly matches with the Malaysians.

I was glad to be given this opportunity coz I wanted a vacation so much. Due to my bad knee condition, I couldnt participate. Not tanding and not even performing regu.
And so, my mission to KL was plainly:
SHOPPING!!! wohoooooooooo!!~~
eh.. okla oklah..
and to support and cheer for my team!! better? =D
After much resting from the long holiday, I started to look for a temporary job. I got one at People's Association at Kallang. How near can that be. I love it! I worked for CPD. A branch of PA. I was just an Admin Assistant. I helped the Social Assistance Team. This is the very first time I work, apart from just givings tutions last time.
It was quite boring coz I didnt really have much to do! However, I survived the boredom!

N becoz I got a job, I enrolled myself for driving lesson! Mom said that if I wanna learn how to drive, I must pay for myself! So yeap, perhaps now's the time?
Oh well, I havent complete the course yet. Still waiting for the test date. =D
And then in June, we had the annual Silat Competition among Tertiary Schools. It was the first time my school had to chair the event. I was in the organizing team. It was really wow!
U cant imagine how tiring it was. Meetings after meetings. VERY frequent. Meetings stretched from late 2007 all the way to the event itself! I was very busy indeed!
I remembered doing IVP stuffs in the office when I had nothing to do. LOL~
I remembered going to back to school in Woodlands from Kallang after work at 6.
Just to continue preparing and to train! I would reach home very2 late and became a grumpy insufficient-sleep girl in the office the next morning.
But then again, everything seemed so worthwhile. I didnt regret a single thing about this. Hardwork really pays off. I enjoyed everything I did. It was really a great experience working with bodies, companies and many more!! Liasing with the "upper" people in school, with T-shirt company, Medal company, silat federation, all the diff schools and more!
Somehow, I think it made me a lil bit wiser. U know, u'll learn alot when working with diff people. =D

It was before the competition that I received a letter from both NUS and NTU. Alhamdulillah I was accepted by both. But I picked NTU. =D
And again, I remembered doing all the registration stuffs at work coz I really had nothing to do in the Office. I stopped working a month before school starts to prepare myself.
I joined the Freshman Orientation Camp organized by NTU Muslim Society. I met new friends! I thank God I made friends before school starts. Coz I faced quite some problems with matriculation and school stuffs earlier. Budak baru masok sekolah katekan. And it was from these people I met that I seeked help from. I thank u all so much for the guidance.

School starts and I chose to continue my Silat activities in NTU. I met familiar faces. Seen every year during the annual competition. They are such nice people. Great to be with. Im happy that I made friends with them.

And now, the first semester in NTU is over. Results are also out. Alhamdulillah I passed everything!
Now Im determined to work harder for Semester 2. School starts this monday. Im halfly unprepared.
Initially I had planned things to do for the new semester within these last 5 days. I want to re-arrange my room so it'll be more study convinient area. I want to prepare empty files for upcoming new notes. I want to iron lots and lots of clothes so I wont be late for classes in the morning. I want to clean up my laptop, organize new folders, segragating old and new.
But, hrmm
looks like I cant do those for now (except for the last one heh). I really hope I can walk properly by friday so I can start doing what I want to.
I also want to accompany Bilal to buy stuffs he needed for camp next week but I cant.
How sad can that be. If I cant walk, means I cant go out, means I cant meet him.
Oh dear, I really want to heal before he is off for the police camp!
So now u see, So many new happenings in my 2008!! A whole new experiences!! and for that, I felt that 2008 was long!! =
Till then,
Welcome 2009!
