Aaaaah. Happy 2009 :)
2008 is so O-V-E-R!!!
So many crazy things happened and I'm just glad I'm out alive.
It was quite hilarious cos one of the last few things that I saw in 2008 is this:
It was scrawled all over the seat at the bus stop opposite Bowen sec where I change buses to go to church.
What a political NYE!
I couldn't resist taking a picture.
Anyway, 2008 was REALLY an eventful year in so many more ways than one. Some truly life changing.
Losses and gains.
Probably more losses than gains actually.
But THIS was definitely one of the hilarious moments of this year. HAHAHA. Sorry Yixin, but I have to advertise your hair. Hahahaha.
Anyhow, I think I can just breathe a huge sigh of relief that it's over. Onward to 2009!
2009 will be a fantastic year. It better be.
And I'm just glad I didn't end the year doing something I would regret doing.
News of the day:
New Year Delayed by Extra Second
"Revellers ushering in 2009 will have to literally wait a second this New Year's Eve. The world's official timekeepers are adding a "leap second" to the final day of the year to help match clocks to the Earth's spin."
"The International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS) has to occasionally add an extra second to keep our clocks in sync with solar time used by astronomers. That's because, sometimes, the Earth's rotation on its axis can take longer or shorter than 24 hours, depending on factors such as the breaking action of tides, snow or the lack of it at the polar ice caps, solar wind, space dust and magnetic storms."
"The U.S. Naval Observatory, keeper of the Pentagon's master clock, said it would add the extra second on Wednesday in coordination with the world's atomic clocks at 23 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds Coordinated Universal Time, or UTC."
Cool huh!
