2010 in a Flash

It's the time of the year already. I can't believe it.. 2010 is going to be over soon and it's gonna be another brand new start again in just a few hours. I'm feeling so nostalgic at the moment. It has been a year full of joy, laughter, happiness and tears for me.

♥♥♥♥♥♥

2010 is the year where I left my high school, my second home. Although I'm free from all those ridiculous rules and unreasonable teachers now, I do miss school. It was the place I grew, learn and meet people. Nothing will ever replace the memories I had with all the great friends I met there.

I have always wanted to leave high school as fast as possible. But now that I'm over that phase, I wish I could stay there just a little bit longer. I'm growing up to be an adult now and it's scary to face the real world so soon. Carrying a school bag and wearing school uniform didn't seem so bad, after all.

I also had one of the best moments in my life when I obtained my Spm results early this year. The joy of self satisfaction of doing a great job is unexplainable. I thought my heart might explode with happiness, knowing that all my hard work had paid off and I did not let my parents down. I was happy I did not let myself down. The feeling was just.. incredible. :)

2010 is the year I had plenty of 'first time's. Like, when I passed my driving exam and got to drive on the road for the first time. Or, when I got my first job ever.. working as a part time temp in an office.

I had the opportunity to work with much older people and get a taste of working life. I'm glad that all my colleagues gave me a chance to learn despite being so young and new. I have really gained lots of experience through the three-months ordeal.

I learned to swim for the first time too. In the past, I always miss out all the fun when I join my friends for a swim because of the obvious fact that I can't swim. But now, I can finally swim around with them and actually burn calories, not just stand there like an idiot holding on the edges of the pool.

Besides that, I also left Penang for the first time to live on my own in another state. It took me a lot of courage to leave home because I'm so used to having my parents taking care of everything for me. But in Sunway, I no longer have mummy and daddy by my side. I'm forced to grow up. To live independently. To experience new things. And...

To see new places. Thanks to my friends, I get to go to a lot of new places for the first time. It is always nice to go somewhere I didn't have the chance to go before. And I'm proud to say, I did flying fox at least once in my lifetime even though I'm dead afraid of heights. :)

I finally get to walk up on the stage to receive a scholarship for the first time. I have always envied my friends who are so smart that they get prizes every single year! But now, I had my turn too. :D

This year is also the year I turned eighteen. And for the first time, I did not get to celebrate it with my family and friends in Penang. And.. for once, my birthday falls on my exam date. I never have that problem before as my birthday is always during the holidays! D: Yee, this is bad. LOL

But most importantly, I get to meet these awesome people in Sunway. They are the ones who bring life and laughter to our group, G11. I cannot imagine my life without them there! It would have been so dull and miserable! And, I'm also grateful for my equally as awesome lecturers who really gained my respect and love: Mr. Jana and Mr. Bill. Heh.

Everything has passed by so quickly and before we knew it, the year is coming to an end now. 

I hope everyone will have a pleasant year in the coming 2011. ♥
