Goodbye 2010, Hello 2011!

Friday, December 31, 2010

Happy New Year's Eve! :) Really glad that I went through this year, and now in a blink of an eye it's already ending. Honestly i don't really want 2010 to end... yet, but yeah still it has to end! Let me end it happily and pray that my 2011 would be great as well :)

Just wanna say a big thank you to everyone that's in my life for the past 365 days! Really really enjoyed every single moment of it. Eventhough there were anger, anguish, pek-chek-ness but honestly from the bottom of my heart i really felt that it's an experience for me to grow, and become a better person. Sometimes i really wished i was a better person.... Anyway yeah I also wanna thank God for everything, for my awesome family, friends, ex-lifegroup, lifegroup, school friends, church friends and all my other friends.

I choose to appreciate, to be thankful for what I've been given, and not to take my life for granted.
I choose to help, be there for anyone who needs me, and to lend that extra hand.
I choose to live, to make the most out of my life, and to enjoy every second I can.
I choose to be happy, to see the good side in everything, to wake up with a smile instead of a frown.
