Pinkie completed her a-levels after 1.5 years finally and she's venturing into a higher level for her education level. Results were out and the fruit was a lovely and delighted one. At least nites of midnite oil burning, relapsed weight, accelerating pressure breeds desirability.. At least pinkie had accomplished her mission for 2007 and is able to face the crowd. Although ALE is quite hectic, it was a reminiscent too, formed close knits with a great bunch of friends esp like crystal and farmine ^-^

March ~ The political tsunami
March 8 general election was the defining moment in Msian history. The long-leading BN resulted in great loss of 5 states and this is out of expectation. The avalanche showed msians to the light of an alternative government and brought msia a step closer to a fairer system. Hopefully, citizens are the category who benefits. Dear voter, the incoming election determine Msian's political landscape in the nx decade. And me, is going to implement my responsibility and right to vote, for the first time ^-^

May ~ A taste of teacher's day
Stepped into the compound of Acmar Primary in the beginning of the year and pinkie is back to school again. But tis time, taking the role of a mandarin teacher instead of student. Time to take revenge, keke.. Since mandarin is not a core subject, students are learning the language for fun and interest. Subsequently, pressure was less but preparation is definitely compulsory. The greatest thing was to get to know a great bunch of kids who are happy, simple and kind. FOr instance, sherry ann and my 3 charlie angels. Had great fun sharing cultural stories, myths and legends, jokes, art skills, experience and games... Used to givin gifts during teachers' day, n now it's the first time receiving gifts.. THanx to all the lovely students..

July ~ ANother teaching sensation
from my alma matter. Taken the role as a replacement teacher for a standard 6 class. This is the first time having a taste of form teacher, taking attendance, dealing with documentation, upsr registration, n having closer friendships i would say with the students. Students here are very disciplined, polite and smart. But there r few naught ones that i could remember too. One of the most significant one is how i beat Sheng Jin until my wooden ruler broke into two. N got to teach new subjects like Mathematics, which i m more confident in, bcuz maths is utterly objective. N of course not forgetting lovely gifts from caring students and bunch of letter from the usually-naughty-and-playful students that are very very touching.. Im glad that my effort and sharings did touch into their hearts n they r willing to change to improve themselves.. Critically, i rmb each n every of their's names..
August ~ Vibrant scene
People around the globe were fascinated and amazed by the official opening of Beijing Oympics 2008. China had used to occassion to showcase its rich culture and dazzling display which lit up the sky. Images of the Bird's Nest stadium, the fireworks, the cultural dances, the Chinese gymnasts and divers are stil in mind. Not forgetting Michael Phelps who bagged the record of 8 golds in his events. Most importantly, is the precious and 'heavy' silver medal delivered by our Dato Lee Chong Wei. Although his defeat was not a memorable one, but it was still the first medal for msia, and hopefully, there will be more.
September ~ Hello to UK
This is the most dramatic turn in my life-- overseas study. All the while, UK is such a faraway place to me. Initially, i really cant believe im heading to uk for studies. A 12-hour journey took my all the way home to this new, exciting place. I got a very pretty n cosy room, which i always indulge myselves in. In addition to this, I ve slowly grow to be more independent and strong, i can cook, i can handle my own daily life, i started doing simple house chores, but simultaneously, i miss home dearly.
October ~ Blending in
Lessons had started n pinkie is back to a student again. UK is very pretty and clean. But weather is extremely cold.. Study culture is slightly different, where self-study has gradually played a pivotal role and general knowledge esp on current issues has become more n more vital. It's really time to keep ur minds down n start studyin seriously. Gambate!
People around are very helpful and friendly.
My first halloween..
November ~ Fresh hope
Barack Obama swept a historic election victory that made him America's first black president. His victory brought new hopes has not only given hope to the americans but also to minority communities in the nation. America's Obama stood out in 2008, what about malaysia's? 2080? or 2800?

December ~ Home Sweet Home
After 2.5 months of homesickness, pinkie is back to home again. I began to realise that u ll onli really appreciate sthing after losing it. Spend lots of happy n sweet moments with my family. I noe i willl miss them a lot when i go back to UK, daddy's cuddly jokes, mummy's dishes, playing n tackling with sisters etc, etc.
End note:
2008 is supposed to be a very prosperous year, since figure '8' is considered as sthing good to the CHinese. However, it ended up as a year full of war, natural disasters n the global downturn which actually deteriorates the overall outlook for the year. I have a very big wish for this year:
"I yearn for peace and safety. "
