The last day of 2008 was spent at Dearie's house, eating yummy chicken rice, drinking ice milk tea with pearl, watching some Korean movie on vcd, playing wahjong and "pleaded" to look through all his past love letters for entertainment.. =x He took out a box of letters reluctantly. After reading through each and every cards and letters, I realized that he bluffed me! There wasn't any love letters from that person, not even a letter from her.. Tsktsk.. =x

Nevermind, it's okay.. I will preserve! Heex! Next time, next time!! ;p

Went out for dinner with his family. They ordered lots of food, and we ate till we were all bloated. That was the fullest meal of year 2008. Could you imagine, all of us had to walk around lazily after dinner, hopefully to just digest it a little. HAHA!

Went Parkway Parade next since it was only 9+, still early for the ships' flares at 12.. However, most of the shops were closed/closing, so we were more of supervising them close shop. Haha.. =x

Watched some folks do the line dance and headed to East Coast Park. Lots of cars were already there. Lots of people and high-spirited dogs too. Haha! A small New Year party kept us entertainment for some time, before 2009 came, and flare shots were seen from the ships near shore. Some of them look like shooting stars.. XD This is both our first time seeing ships' flare during the New Year. Dearie kept his last year's promise to bringing me there this New Year. Thanks Lots!! Muackz! Love you! :D

2009.
A new year.
A new beginning.
A new sem.
A new sem without him always by my side.
A new environment at IA alone.

I thought I have always been looking forward to this sem at IA? Why does the thought of IA suddenly frighten me as the start of IA nears? Is it due to the fact that I would be the only intern there? Or is it because I am afraid that I can't work well with the other engineers there? Will they be easy to get along with? Or will I be lonely at work and even lunch breaks? I have always been afraid of loneliness, especially in an unfamiliar place. I hope I will be less blur and strong enough to pull through this sem alone.
