this past year's been good... from getting my stpm results to visiting beijing to entering HUC to my surprise birthday bash, and S's kidnap and my trip to jakarta plus other things... whew... so much's happened in just a year, and it dont feel like a year's gone by at all, actually...
could probably say this year was a turning point... several interesting incidents took place, met lots of new people, lost some others... i hope this bond we have among ourselves now'll last longer than the last clique i was in... it was heartbreaking watching it falling apart, and i couldnt bear for it to happen to this particular gang...
the ladies played some britney spears classics that birthday night, and somehow, recalling them last night made me think about our generation's teenage years... remember how cassette tapes and walkmans were all the rage? i remember buying scores of tapes (garnering mum's wrath) and recording all those pop songs (britney, nsync, bsb, A*teens, then later linkin park, lol) with my cd/cassette player... then came the discman fad, and i was crazy burning cds instead...
strange how all the discmans disappeared (mine's still stashed in my drawer somewhere, and my walkman dysfucntional already) once the mp3 players and ipods came onto the scene... and ever since i got into downloading music, i barely touch my cd player anymore, since i play all my music on the computer...lol... ahhh... nostalgic.
speaking of all these electronic toys.. last night i popped off to saberkas to see if the phone model i'd lost could be found... sadly, no, not a sign of it to be seen anywhere.. it isnt produced anymore, and what made things even sadder is that this style seems to be completely out of fashion too. bar phones and slide phones're all the in thing now, and their designs blocky and clumsy to boot. i dislike broad, wide chunky phones, since my hands're pretty small and its hard for me to carry them around. so imagine my dismay when i glanced at the display case and saw only a wide array of those big wide things. no more small compact clamshells, the way i like them. sad, sad, sad. dad berated me saying i was making a big fuss when i chose not to buy a single one of those things. i mean, why buy it if you dont really like it? i'd probably regret it later when i chance upon a model i do like, if i simply pick a run-of-the-mill one now. makes sense? lol.
a rather disorganized entry, if i might say so... lol... i'm supposed to go out with mum now. doubt i'll be able to post tonight, since i promised to go watch a movie with someone and head to SoHo's for the countdown. so yeaaah. the next entry you'll be seeing'll come in 09. good bye again, y2k8. i'm gonna miss you.
P.S i finally added the reds into my hair yesterday. a tribute to Die-san, the gorgeous redhead guitarist of dir en grey.. it was his flaming red locks that first caught my fancy anyway. ;)
