Hmm, what can I say? 2007 has been a pretty eventful year, with lots of ups and downs, like any other year. What with studies and the trauma of having to sit for one of the two biggest exams in my entire lifetime, i.e the A levels, to my social life, to my emotional aspect. What a hectic year it's been. If I were to repeat another year just like this, well, I wished I wasn't around by then.
I wouldn't wanna change anything if I had to change something. Things were perfect the way they were and it was through these things and events that I learnt some of the most valuable lessons.
1. Friends come and go, really easily. I've realised that the ones who stand by me through everything are the most precious of all friends. The ones who pretended to be friends with me, well, I can't say much to them, except, "Goodbye friends." There are some who came to me because they needed help, and when help was given, they scoot after that. But there are some who willingly stayed up late at night just to keep me company. So, yeah, lesson learnt. True friends are hard to come by, and they are the most precious of all.
2. Never ever trust anyone wholeheartedly, no matter how much you think that your secret's safe with him/her. The only person that you can fully trust, is yourself. When making decision, what other people think, does not matter. What matters is what your instinct and your brain tells you. Because you know yourself best, and that others have no right to influence your decision whatsoever.
School has been a rather traumatic experience, both positively and negatively. Together with isyah, we went through lots of stomach-stiching moments, the hair-raising experiences, the arm-twisting seconds, encountered the good, the bad, the ugly, and the let's-go-to-Hub-instead-of-mugging periods. Hahahah.... Seriously, I woudn't want a better life elsewhere. :)
Since it's the new year tomorrow, although I know resolutions are meant to fall apart halfway (cos that's the reason they are there in the first place, duh), I'm gonna set myself a few nice rules that are manageable and easy to follow:
1. Be a better Muslim/person/daughter/friend. Period.
2. Treasure every single moment, including the butt-splitting moments.
3. Be nice to people cos you mighteth never know when your turn will come.
4. Honour my promises.
That said, I'm ready to usher in the new year! And no, no countdown for me this year. I've always thought that the countdown's sucha waste of time. And this year's no different.
On another note, I got a job! At a place where there's lots of fun, crazy tykes, monsters, and classrooms. Address me as Ms Shakirah, please. :) :) What better way to start the new year 2008 with games and fun with little kids in classrooms in a building called Anderson Primary, eh?
Till then, have a blessed 2008, everyone!
Lots of love,
Shakirah.
