Whee we're on our second day of 2009 already! I can feel 2009 whizzing past me like what 2008 did. Overall it's been a great year; I've graduated from a couple of things - from SP, from being a teenager, from driving school etc.

The countdown at Vivo City was.........forgettable. To be truthful, I can't exactly remember what happened, as my face was permanently glued behind the camera to take photographs. All I know is

a) Elvin, Dai Yangtian and Nat were hot.
b) Jeanette is not cold as she seems
c) MDC people don't know other dramas' names to save their lives
d) Lucify and Yi Shi Jie can make me go deaf
e) It signals the beginning of 2009
