The year 2008 will soon come to an end. 2008 year was a really bad year. There were ups and downs, but the downs really came crashing like the stock market. Let's see what are the events in 2008:
Beginning of the year was a joyous mood as we usher in the Chinese New Year. It was one of the happiest moment as she came to Singapore to spend the Chinese New Year with me. Finally showing her to my relatives my HK girlfriend.
Next was hotpot at Jasmine's house where we got to have hotpot at her place! Though not all the League was present but it was a great time to hang out together.
Feburary, was invited by Neil to attend the Airshow 2008 as he got some free tickets to the event. After so many years, I finally got the time and opportunity to go to the airshow. It was an eyeopener was we got to see the various air performance and especially the Black Knights. Plus you could see and hear the loud roaring of the plane's afterburners at such close range!
Feburary to March, had a vacation to Guangzhou with her for 2D1N. First time stepping into the other parts of China. And I was convinced that China's pollution level was way worse that I expected. The main event was the Sakura flowers, but a bit disappointing cause the flowers were all dying and dropping off due to the unexpected warmer weather. But I had fun in the hotel cause it was soooo luxurious for a cheap price. The room was so fun to play hide and seek too and the night was spend exploring outside the hotel and playing in the room.
Celebrated my birthday in Hong Kong with her family.
Back to Singapore, she came again in May for her study leave. Brought her to the Singapore flyer as a surprise event. One word - Romantic.
My first time having a high tea buffet. It was at Goodwood Park Hotel. The English tea buffet was definitely delicious. I had to book a table one week in advance for it especially for sundays and saturdays. Will come again for another high tea the next time.
In June, My first time going for overseas studies in Shanghai. Another visit to another part of China. It was a 3 weeks study, short but it was really fun. Made some great friends there and tried many many good food. Haha I didn't choose to stay in dorms in NTU, but in Shanghai I got the chance to stay in one. Damn nice staying in their overseas dorms. Didn't really study there, but played and played most of the night and visiting towns and interesting places. My gf made a short trip there to visit me and her friends. Really memorable! I LOVE THE FOOD IN SHANGHAI. Maybe another trip in 2010 when there will be the World Expo.
Back to HK on the last day of Shanghai, came back with a surprise welcome dinner by her. Cooked so deliciously and beautifully, I was a happy man with a full stomach. She hated to step into the kitchen but made this sacrifice for me. Loved her more than ever.
Went to Lamma island for some romantic dinner and hiking the next day. Nice and quiet place away from the noisy Hong Kong for a while.
Last day as a couple in HK. She came to Singapore in September to spend time together again. But in October, we can't go on anymore and I crashed. We could not make past the 2008 curse for all rats.
October, finally managed to catch the ever busy and elusive Akire for a gathering. Too bad still did not manage to catch Patsy. Been playing "Catch me if you can" with these girls for more than a year.
School work was damn hectic in Year 2. Plus got a really lazy and shitty group mate in one of our projects that made everyone of the group very pissed with her.
December, after a crazy semester and exams in Year 2. Took a break bringing my parents to HK for fun. I will be staying in HK till 2009. Also spending the last moment with her before back to singlehood.
After so many events, I really missed the good times. All it took was one word to kill it all. But I'll strive on, I'll strive on to my goal to be one of the richest man among the rich. I will go on.
My Resolutions for 2009:Become a more stylish person
Get richer through passive income and stocks
Becoming a better investor and speculator
Countdown to 2009!
