8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Getting out of the slump that i was in almost whole of last year. Maybe many of you don't know, i was facing a lot of problems earlier last year. In school, in family, in BB, with friends. Also a lot of changes too (eg. army) took place last year. Could not cope with them and life turned darker and darker. Went low on self confidence and was very negative. These 2 factors affected me to be unable to do many things well. Many didn't know that happened to me cuz i acted as i was ok and kept my problems to myself. That made things worse.

I was too hard on myself. Fortunately, i got friends and God who brought me out of that slump. That took almost one year... It was a very big achievement cuz many would have given in but not me. Because of that experience, i became a changed person who knows how to handle my problems better.

Some toopid fellows in army. They are selfish, think they are great when they are the opposite.

人生是一个过程，可悲的是，你不能回头。可喜的是，你不必回头。

30. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
Spent my birthday in hospital with my mum cuz she was hospitalised. Bought a cake, chat and ate the cake with her. Actually that was better than having a big party with friends. Cuz it was one of the few times where we chat. I am 20 le. From 19 candles to 2 again. yea!

34. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
David Tao for his music. One of the few musicians who use the power of music to spread love and goodwill. Jay Chou for his creative talents and he knew what his listeners like. Many songs he wrote were well taken in. Wang Lee Hom for daring to do his 'chinked out' music. Basically the three of them wrote, sang and produced their own albums. Don't care what critics said, firm in what they want for their music. In the end they are well appreciated by many music lovers.

35. What political issue stirred you the most?
I don't really care about politics. As long as governments don't fight war, do something to help the poor and unfortunate, take care of their citizens. that's their job.

-

37. Who was the best new person you met?
Hmm... Have made new friends, but didn't set who is the best. hahaha....

38. Tell us a valuable life lesson:
Never give up, no matter how tough it is. If i have given up during that dark period of last year, i don't think i'll be here now. Sometimes, you just have to endure a little bit longer and things will change for the better.
