2008
One word: unpredictable
One word: unpredictable
Almost everything that happened this year came completely by chance.
Ranging from my studies, friends and especially the romance section of my life.
Studies. It was tough. JC is tough. It’s not like secondary school anymore. You can’t just read, memorize and sit for the exam, hoping for the best. But you gotta start loving what you’re studying and actually put a hell lot of effort in it. I was lucky I scrape through it and made it for the big As next year. That I will put more effort in, I promise.
Friends. This is the year I’ve widen my social circle, not just with new faces, but with the old ones. I made use of this holiday to build a bridge and start/refresh friendships that may have been forgotten or lost or even strengthen them. For the new faces, they have surprisingly been really great this year. I’m actually really thankful for every one of them, especially this year. Friends been there for me through all the good and tough times and seriously, I’m really not who I am without them in my life. I hope these friendships will continue to grow and blossom, and be friendships of a lifetime =)
The romance section. Well well well, I’ve come a long way haven’t I? Apparently, this is the department that seems to be abiding the whole unpredictable law. One door closes, another opens? That seems to be another theory it’s abiding to this year too. It’s funny how everything happened for a reason, or not. Maybe some people enter your life for a reason, while maybe some just entered as if it’s one of their pit stops, just so they could get somewhere. But then again, each time someone enters your life, it’s like a chapter in your life being opened. When it ends, that chapter closes, and another new one opens. The weird thing to this?
You’re usually caught off guard, cause you didn’t plan to open or close the chapter in the first place. It just happened.
To sidetrack for awhile,
Life’s so weird and haywire sometimes. You can be feeling at the top of your game and be so thankful for the life you lead at this minute and then feeling all gloomy and remorseful the next. I had those, it wasn’t pretty. People say this is part and parcel of life, and that changes happen. It’s how you handle those changes, but who can be blamed when those changes came so sudden and it felt like there’s a timer resetting it to 60 seconds, counting down and pressuring us to make a decision. And in reality, one wrong decision will always be accompanied by unpleasant consequences and well, there will be scars, affecting future upcoming decisions or even the rest of your life.

As much as you want to run away from those problems, you can’t cause surprise, surprise, you just can’t. It’s tough yes, but then again, I think there’s no problem with no solution. This year especially, I did a hell lot of self reflection and thought about how many mistakes I have committed in just 365 days! But then again, flaws exist in every human so I guess it’s inevitable to make one. However, did you know that every little mistakes you make eventually make you a stronger person cause as cheesy as this sound, you learn from this and if a similar situation happens that'll create a junction somewhere in the later part of your life, at least you know which one to take. This is where you grow as an individual.
Be it in the romance, friendships or life section in general, we gotta take a chance in everything we do. I mean, you can’t cross the sea just by looking at it right? I believe that life rewards action. I mean, I believe that God rewards those who learn from their mistakes and grow out of it as a better person. Learn from it. When you feel like everything’s falling apart, just hold on to yourself when you feel like letting go. You've got to have patience to overcome it all. Most importantly, listen to your guts. They usually tell you something that you don’t want to believe, but is indeed true. It’s weird how reverse psychology works, but happiness is really a matter of choice. So let’s all just throw off the bowlines and sail away from the safe harbor! You don’t just stick to what you have just cause its familiar and something you’re used to. HELLO, life’s too short for you to! People living deeply have no fear in death.
This year has been one of the best and worst year of my life. This year somehow made me understood some parts of me that I never thought existed in the first place. So in conclusion, I think 2008 is my year. A year of firsts too. This is so effing cheesy right now, but I really feel like I just came out of a cocoon when the year ended. Watching the fireworks yesterday was so amazing, and well, I feel refreshed all over again.

I’m not just the Nurul Nasyitah Md Nashir you used to know, but a new and improved one =)
I had the song ‘Better in time’ played in ears while catching the fireworks yesterday and yeap, no matter what shits you’re going through, you’ll get better.
I’ve gone a long way from the start of 2008 ‘til now, so I don’t just think so, I know so. =)
So yes, 2008 has been unpredictable indeed. This is it with life, the most beautiful days usually come completely by chance. But even the most beautiful days will eventually have their sunsets.

So right now, a new chapter of my life is being opened with the end of the year. Let’s screw 2008, how’re you doing 2009!
I have a spectacular new year’s eve to update about, but I think I shall upload the pictures of it up onto facebook first. I’m still pissed with my parents with what happened today, but like Aqila quoted, shit happens right.
