It's the last day of 2008
A year full of new experiences, new people, new emotions
The first few months of 2008 were spent working at Aquamarine
Days went by like clockwork. It was always the same thing. Wake, Go to work, Work, Roam around Marina Square, Come home, Rest, Sleep.
But yet at this restaurant i came to know some of the friendliest people around.
Underwent quite alot of changes within the few months of leaving school. Vanity and Moral Etiquette became an issue. Alas i felt myself starting to change....or so i think i did...
Also, I needed to prepare myself for Poly. I had no idea what to expect. Never had any other information.
What are the people like?
Are they nice?
How will life be...
In the end...I never needed a guide to survive poly. I met many unique individuals i came to identify as friends. We were one another's way of living our poly life. Lucky, i can say i am, to have been allocated TR03 as a class. I cant really imagine how would school be without them.
Life was great. It's the sort of feeling, where u enjoy going to school, go out to chill, and come home to enjoy yourself even more, and still manage to sort of cope with studies (being the average student i am). Yet i realised, after one semester, there is really a need to focus at times. Theres no free lunch in this world. I'd want to enjoy school, and be happy with my results at the end.
Peer pressure, a force i never managed to come to terms with, was quite high in this place. I found many of my decisions based on these new friends. Obviously, there are it's pros and cons. I found new things and experiences that i like, and yet, felt uncomfortable at times. Perfectly fine, i guess, it's part of understanding myself, and others.
Regret. I felt regret. In many things i shouldve done, and havent, many things i shouldnt have, and did.
Guilt. Guilt in who i am. Im not exactly the nicest friend around, and there are those who still have to put up with all my shit. My house rules, my personality, always seem to conflict with everyone else's somehow.
My 2008 resolution hasnt been achieved. Thats all i can say. Probably because i missed out a step, which will be 2009's resolution :
To be a more complete person.
Happy new year people. :)
