to recall all the hopes i had for 2006, i can't help but say that the past year had been extremely disappointing.
friendships formed (esp the pae 0612 people!) & lost (probably my own fault, since i didn't try hard enough with anyone this year, it's really a miracle that my SN friends still want keep in touch with me), academics, JC life (& how unhappy i feel waking up every morning), short vacations and long school days, etc etc.
sometimes i feel really bitter seeing everyone around me with their own friends and happy lives, & that's actually all my own fault, since i haven't tried very hard with anything (except promos) or anyone this year.
so it's pretty amazing how friends still rally around when i need help/support, despite me being the worst person on earth.
with the lesson learnt from the previous year, i bring less hope into the new year (though i know that hope keeps people alive, but maybe that's not for me), since anticipation leads to disappointment so often.
so, for 2007, all i want is to do well for A's.
then, on a less self-centred note, this year's been fantastic for Singapore (in terms of the economy, political status, social stability, etc), though not necessary so for the rest of the world, judging by the number of natural disasters that's hit the world (earthquakes, floods, etc) and the unrelenting wars (like the one in iraq & medical/health ones like AIDS all over the world).
so i also hope for a better global economy and stability everywhere.
