2009 has truly been a superbly awesome year for me.
sure, i was in NS most of the time, but i did lots of awesome stuff as well.
went on 4 impulse holidays, 3 concerts, went to lots of cosplay events, bought lots of stuff and got to know lots of friends.

of the 4 impulse holidays:
by impulse, i meant that i was decided on impulse.

the first being my 8 day perth trip in september with ruiyuan, khengming and jiahao. the whole thing started with ruiyuan in the office suggesting that we should look at the availability of SAF chalets in perth. and bingo! there was an available slot. and thus, "click now, think later" the next thing we knew, were we on our way to perth.
the perth trip was truely awesome, and i really want to thank you guys for making it happen. and if possible, i'll like to go again with you guys. thanks to the spammage of photos during the trip, i am able to recall every bit of detail. shall try to write about the whole trip if i have the time... hopefully.

the 2nd trip would be to KL with ruiyuan, eugene and eugene's 2 other friends. this again was kinda on impulse, being eugene confirmed me as one of the people going even without telling me, so yeap, ended up going along. the KL was kinda tiring in a way, as lots of walking was involved. it was quite relaxing though, well then again, anytime away from the office, is relaxing. ate lots of food on the trip. KL = cheap cheap food! =x

3rd trip was to vietnam with my mum. my mum kinda decided for me on impulse. she called me while i was at AFA to tell me that she will be getting the tickets then, and if i could confirm if i wanted to go. i naturally confirmed, being that i wanted to accompany my mum there. the vietnam trip kinda sucked though. there was nothing much to see in ho ching minh.

coincidentally, i sorta confirmed my 4th trip on the same day. it was at AFA when shiro asked if i wanted to go to comic fiesta at sunway, KL. this trip was like awesome! my first time being in sunway, although didn't get the chance to play in the theme park, went to comic fiesta. met lots of new friends and bought anime pins! which were like cheaper there. also had like 3 days of sucky A&W and watch avatar on the big big screen. the KL trip can be read in my previous posts, so i shall not blabber on.

of the 3 concerts:
or 3 which i can remember going to:
THE EPIC FINAL FANTASY DISTANT WORLDS CONCERT! OMG! FREAKING EPIC! nuff said.

then there was the AFA concert, which was also awesome, cause it was my first time watching a japanese concert. although i was at the free seating area which was quite far from the stage, the feeling was there nonetheless. =3

the other was Yui Makino's concert which was kinda a let down, as described in my previous post, it didn't really deserve the ticket price.

of the things i bought:
ok, it's actually not alot, but good buys. i think overall, the 2 biggest buys on 2009 would be my pink ipod nano and my canon dslr. both costing quite a bomb. love die those 2 items. practically saved like forever to get those. that would be if you're saving from something called, ns allowance. don't think i'll be working for 2010 so i guess i got to save harder to get the stuff that i want...

of cosplay events:
omg, i went to so many that i've actually lost count..
let me see... soy, cosfest, stgcc, gca, afa, comic fiesta, eoy, i think that should be about it.

of friends met:
a really big thank you to everyone that i got to know over this whole year, i must say, this year would really have been different if i haven't got to know you all! and whoever is reading this, a big thank you!

of 2010:
although it's the start of the new year, it's also saddening to say that my favourite cosplayer would be going overseas to study come January, and i forsee that chances to see her cosplay again would be very rare... as she will also need to concentrate on her studies, gambatte-neh! am going to miss your awesome cosplays!
i'll be starting university in 2010 too, so i guess i won't be playing that much when the year starts, should be concentrating more on my studies... though that is what i always say, and end up playing in the end... then again, this is like my last chance to actually study, so i should also do my best, gambatte myself too!

thus...
2010, i dare you to be a better year then 2009.
