This Year

Here we are again

The last day of the year

Here I am again

On my blog

Time to review my year

Oh so special yet so normal

This year

I appeared on TV for the first time ever

When the show I acted in last year

Goes on air in January

Appeared in a few episodes

And had quite some dialogues

Had some kind of sense of achievement

When I saw myself on TV

This year

Had a great Chinese New Year

Super duper 'ONG'

Made a small fortune out of...

Well you know it

This year

Being in a drama crew for the very first time

Where working hours are long and odd

Certainly the most tired period of the year

Ever since then

For every single movie or drama that I watch

I had a very different perspective from normal viewers

In certain scenes

I will think of how hard the backstage crew worked

To get that particular scene

Been there

Done that

And know what it's like

This year

I switched from Sony Ericsson K810

To Samsung Galaxy Ace

Smartphone used to seem something out of this world for me

But I got one in my hands

Took a while to figure it out and get used to it

But gosh...

Sometimes till now I still wonder what on earth are smartphones

This year

I got my Diploma cert

Studied 2 and a half years

To get that piece of paper

Stepped into KDU College

For perhaps the very last time

Oh wait...

It is now KDU University College

This year

I switched from a worker

Back to a student

Degree in Broadcasting this time

Once again going to a university without a single familiar face

I'm all alone

But not for long

Because

This year

I got a bunch of new buddies

Going places together

Doing assignments together

Helped me settled down pretty well in a new environment

This year

I found a special one

My other half

Should I say third time lucky?

But she's special

One of a kind

That caught my eye

This year

I went to Langkawi

One of my favourite local destinations

An island where mountain and sea sat close to each other

Escape from the busy city life

And dunk into the waters of the sea and trees of the jungle

This year

For the first time I really felt assignment stress

In the past

If you told me that one day I will drive all the way to Sekinchan just to take photos

I would probably give you that 'Yao Ming' face and say

F**k that s**t

But this time around

I would have to say I did that

Just for assignment purposes

This year

Is so special

Yet so normal

So complicated

Yet so simple
