Random Thoughts: New Year! New Year!
Well, this is it ain't it? 2008's gonna end soon. It was certainly a good year, despit the fact that this was the first year being apart from most of our old schoolmates in our respectable secondary schools. Well, old friends parted ways, new ones were gained but, nonetheless, old friends won't be forgotten THAT easy. Haha. This years probably the start of many new ventures. Improvements were at hand, accomplished with the exception of some that are yet to be. So this post will probably be abt my summary why this was a good year.

1.Band, Band Mates and Original Songs.

What can I say? This had to be first. This was probably the year in which our band improved. From mere amateurs to playing an instruments, to a band that made a whole long list of songs waiting to be recorded. We lost our way halfway through with the departure of Gio to Australia (not permanent! haha), but we got back on our feets in time. Razmi, a good friend who I've seen improve alot vocally and even in playing the guitars. Helmy, the one with the most improvement in guitars and bass. The one who finds most of the tunes in our songs. Syafiq, well, we've never had a truly bad jamming session when he's around. He saved us. Haha. Gio, well, I pretty damn sure he's improved greatly with guitars. Judging from some samples he made. Me? I got two palms full of blisters the whole year long. HAHA!

2.The Founding Of The One And Only Kecoh-Rables.

On the month of April, I met these 7 people and to me they still completely and utter strangers. But now, after a full year with them, these 7 people made my day almost everyday. They cure the mundane atmosphere of school, liven up my day, and become treasure people. Randy, my brutha in school. We are sarcastic, haha.. Face it. It's us. Both enjoy music (namely SOAD), soccer, in which we are total rivals, as he likes Manchester United, wherelse I, Liverpool. Fadilah, the girl that layans the nonsense of the sarcastic bruthas... Haha. The only girl who puts on Escada, busy Secret Recipe worker (no more!). Rafidah, the one who I always go home with, the one with the weirdest laugh, the one who got followed (inside joke). Hanis, the one who influenced me to blog and to indulge myself in photography. We have TOTALLY different music tastes, but there's always DeviantArt that made us similar (we both are addicted to Deviant, haha). Fatihah, the one who probably laughs as much as Rafidah, smiles as wide as Rafidah and more. Haha. Probably one of the proper person to tell your problems to. Brendon, the tallest in the group, the funniest and craziest guy, the guy who loves mimicking and TKD. That's all of them in the picture. Well there's also one more.. Gerald, my fellow drummer, in a quite well known local band called Giants Must Fall (Giants Fall Down!! Haha). Also funny, in a way that may get you in trouble with passersbys.. These ITE friends made the year un-regrettable. See? Who said ITE was bad?

3. Rahimah and Sakinah

My two best buddies that keep me company day and night. Rahimah, someone who like me, like Billy Talent ( that was the first ever similarity, haha), my fellow Liverpool fan, someone who adores Liverpool striker Fernando Torres, Indon guys and much more. Someone who likes to use the KICK ME emoticon on me on MSN. Someone who thinks that Aliens are cuter than Bald Laughing Buddhas. Someone who made a rule saying that the longer I knew her, the longer the comments I have to give to her. Haha. But, overall, a good friend. Now, Sakinah.. The person whom I think I have disturbed the most in my lifetime, and vice versa. Haha. Probably the only friend I have in Sembawang. The one who'll accompany who to wherever in S'pore just to get a Starbucks treat later on. Haha. Overall, these two are also big events that made this year great.

4. Street Vandal Crew, Graffiti and Vector Art.

Meet (from left to right in the picture) Aceh, Noh, and Sukri. The best thing that ever happened to me, graffiti wise. They thought me alot, guided me throught the nerve-wrecking (but fun) first production. They practically made my dreams and aspiration to become an graffiti artist. Much thanks to Noh for the guidance and support. He was also the one who got me involved with vectoring using Photoshop. The piece of art that kept me busy when I'm too darn bored at home.
These three are definite impacts of my life, and one BIG event that made the year great. More productions to come, guys!! Write on!!

4. Last but not least, Cousins.

What can I say? I can't leave this bunch behind. Although I felt distant from them earlier this year, Hari Raya Haji, and the Birthday Bbq made me feel reunited with them. These are the ones I look forward to seeing alot. Doesn't neccassarily have to be on Hari Raya only. No words can describe how good it is to have them around. And also to have them as my cousins.

Those were the 4 bes highlights of this year. I'm not much for New Year Resolutions, but what the hell, I'll make an exception. In 2009, I'll try not to get angry alot. I'll aim to be a better drummer who contributes more into the band, a good classmate that will try to help the Kecoh-Rables, A better friend to Rahimah and Sakinah and also to the Kecoh-Rables. A better graffiti artist, vector artist so as to be able to make good proddys with Aceh, Noh, and Sukri and last but not least, a better cousin, to cousins, a better nephew to aunts and uncles, and a better son to parents. OMG! Cheesy or what! Dah dah!
