Guo Minxue spend her last few moments in year 2007 cutting strips of yellow paper( for a good purpose of course), sitting in front of the computer, blasting her itunes and not partying or counting down or whatsoever. I just saw the com clock turn 12 and viola I just went round MSN-ing people happy new year. It is 2008, a start of something new, a time to create a human revolution.

My last few days of 2007 was really really well spent!! SD KENSHU was a total blast. It was my first SD kenshu and what a day it was, learning, seeking, experiencing with the fellow TPSDians!! Watching a motivating video that made both me and xingyi literally drop tears. That video struck me alot. Just a simple handshake, hug that sensei gave to soka kindergarden kids, asking them not to cry but to strive hard and fight, I could already felt his sincerity even though he is miles away from us. I could felt that he is always wanting us to fight, to be victorious, to be his worthy disciple, which literally fit the kenshu theme, ESSENTIAL DISCIPLES ARISE!!

Every single eve of a new year, which means every 31st, all of us gakkai members would usually dun go for countdown. We stay at home and chant for the new year, chant that it will be a year of victory, a year where we overcome our struggles and challenges. Like what auntie pauline said on sat, she said challenges are a form of gift. Without challenges and struggles, we will always take things for granted. We will always let ourselves remain stagnant. In another words, we will not grow. Though it may be tough, once we overcome it, we will realise we are a stronger person at the end of the day.

So tonight, beside cutting yellow stripes of paper and blasting itunes, I did my 1 hour of prayers as well and I really set a deep and firm pledge to advance in 2008 and go all the way out to show the actual proof. Though I forsee january to be a horrible month in a way of project submissons and my equally hectic schedule of chingay since it is going to be the rehearsal time as well, but I hv fellow friends, classmates family, comrades around me!! I will strive and work hard with them to fufill the pledge and vow I set today!!

On the fun side and not so fun side as well, I spend my last day of 2007 filming and editing for fairy toilet brush psychotic advertisement plus play 3 hours straight of basketball with my usual gang of weikang yongkang benji and xingyi!! When school reopens, I really wonder when would be the next time we can play together.

Lastly, to end off the wonderful 2007 and start off 2008

GOOD GRADES ( I resolute that every year)

HARMONIOUS FAMILY( dad and mom to be understanding, lesser conflicts and quarrel between the 3 of us)

LOSE WEIGHT ( I really have to burn off some of these fats!! maybe I should learn from weirong, eating salads or chicken without skin)

HEALTHY BODIES OF BOTH FAMILY FRIENDS ( no major health problems)

TO BE MORE ORGANISED, LESS KLUTZ, BETTER MAINTAINENCE OF MY HAIR!! ( big challenge)

most importantly, HAPPINESS OF EACH AND EVERY SINGLE INDIVIDUAL.

2007 was really a great year! A year of CHINGAY, NDP where I met new friends, a year where I go against my parents wishes for me to study in a JC and went to poly to pursue what I prefer; HTM, a year where I met my rocking 06 class that never fail to make me laugh, a year where I got the O level results that I was pretty satisfied with, a year where me and the pokes plan tessa farewell party, a year I join TPSD and learnt so much, a year of projects, a year where I started one of my first temp work,a year I started to seriously keep long hair and a year of fun joy laughter and tears
