Happy New Year's Eve!

Yao marn!!!

It's amazing how the year has zoomed past, as cliche as it sounds. I had a splendid year I must really say. So many changes and new stuff in place. I'm pretty satisfied with this year. It was one of my best few years in my limited 17 in fact. But there are a definitely a few things worth mentioning before I enter the new year:

Sonia
The best girlfriend anybody could get. But she's mine now rawr! She has got to be the best thing that ever happened to me this year. Rather the best thing that has happened to me so far. 85 days together and counting on. We're definitely going on very strong, in case you're curious. But if you have the patience to read till this line you should really be curious about my life so there you go. Celebrating our 4th month together in approximately 168 hours time.

Always being there for me, physically and psychologically. She was always there when I needed her, and that's something I'm extremely thankful and appreciative about. It sounds rather simple, just being there. But sometimes, the simplest things are ones that mean the most. More often than not, they are also the most sincere. Because they come as the most direct form of actions. Easily understood, easily felt.

I sprained my back in about 2 weeks back, and I was really down. It was made alot easier because of my baby. Because she was so supportive and caring for me. She did the best she could ever have done, which was to just be there for me. That's all that matters. Now I'm back in action, and have attended 2 trainings smoothly so far. Many more to come!

The love we share might seem to some as very stable and ongoing. And you know what? That's so true. However, we are mostly in our own world. We love to spend time with each other, and I see her essentially everyday. And I'm not sick of it yet, and I will never be. The reason being is simple, because I LOVE HER!

Sonia is the definition of a perfect balanced girlfriend. Because she truly supports me in whatever I do, and trusts that I have the capability to comprehend whats good and best for me, and at the same time, giving me constructive advice. She's more than just a girlfriend. She's becoming more of my life partner, somebody essential in my life, somebody I cannot do without. Not even for a day.

As for the new year, I hope to maintain the great relationship we share. May our love last the eternal years to come by. I also hope her greatest wishes will be granted, of which one of the most important would be entry to Mass Communications. Thank you for everything, I love you baby.

Canoeing
I'm glad I stuck on with you for so long despite all the disheartening sessions I had earlier this year. The going was tough, but I gritted my teeth and went on and on with it. This holidays, I missed a total of 6 training sessions, 5 of which are due to my injury, 1 of which I do not have much of a valid excuse, except say: MY ASS WAS REALLY PAINFUL =(

This holidays improved my standard tremendously, and I'm glad to see how far I've come by. But I will never ever become complacent and let externalities get the better of me. It was a hell of a tough shit all these while, but I truly enjoyed it. And every time I go back for training, my passion is reignited. Again and again, without fail.

And my dearest team-mates, seeing all of you train so hard every single time makes me feel like I'm doing the right thing, that I'm in the right team. Your everlasting commitment has summoned my greatest respect. People worth mentioning in this category are Christopher, Tim Quek, my partner Don, Andrew, Germaine, Ali, Wu Yuan, Ian and many many more. All of you committed peeps, way to go man, all the way to the medal podium.

As for the new year once again, I really hope to continue with Canoeing all the way without affecting my work. Because Don, you kick ass partner of mine, we're so gonna get a medal in nationals. I ain't gonna wish you or us luck, because I know our hard work will pay off when the time arrives. Definitely. That's what Canoeing is all about. 1% Luck, 99% Hard Work.

Adios all, and aloha to my National Medal.

I'm so gonna get you good.

Rawr.
