New Year.... 2009

Woah 3 days past in 2009 already. And my head is still set in 2008.

Some things just move too fast, others move too slow to me. Guess things just move at their own pace of their liking, never at the pace that I want. Hmmph!

Last month is the usual PC fair, and boy the crowd is still massive as ever. (the promoters are even more, I dunno why they need 80 promoters to gather at the end of their booth to pass flyers). I got myself some RAM. Storage devices (External Hard Disks, Thumb drives) are ridiculously cheap (I should have got them anyways).

Anyways, no blurb at Ireland Worlds about MMU, or even a single Malaysian team, or even an Asian team... On the other hand, Oxford Union is going strong with 3 teams in semi-finals, along with Monash, Queensland, Victoria Wellington, Manchester and Harvard. Barely know anyone of them in the teams except the guys from Monash, possibly Queensland (the Aussies are a great and friendly bunch one you get to know them)

And then there were 362 days left in 2009.

Final Day of 2008

Wow a year has passed, and it just flew pass me.

In the beginning of the year is mainly to patch up and pickup the pieces of my life, due to the turbulent 2007 and left a drastic aftermath.

Then is the debating stuff. Not as packed as last year, but exciting nonetheless. MMU broke at our inaugural AUDC participation, broke at Australs (I wish I could be there, but I can't cause this year is about studies for me), won NHSD, and I decided to witness WUPID as an observer this time (a first in international tournament) and partied my ass off. Really, I just need a moment to relax just this once this year... I managed to capture some of the moments in my camera too.

People I know come and left, not just in debating society but also in the campus grounds. New people to get to know, old folks (I meant the people i know longer, not thier age) I tried to rekindle, including my high school friends that I met in various unexpected occasions.

And who cannot forget the Beiijing Olympics this year? Malaysia bagged a medal, China sweeps, Micheal Phelps screams as he wins 8 gold medals, controversies arised from start till the end.

Happy New Year 2009!

P.S: this is the first time I blog via email. I know, it took me awhile to attempt some new forms of technology. =P
