>> The first half of the year was a blur to me. Without squash, I felt lost and empty, like a big part of me was missing. Unless you understand how big a part squash has played in my life, you won't understand how I felt at that time. I missed the competition, the training, the bonds between me and my team-mates, but I don't regret the decision I had made.

I chose the path, grumbles are unjustified.

It was mostly work that kept me going.

>> It wasn't until August when I felt I really started living like a real teenager again. I met some of my ex's friends in Cine and suddenly, we were a clique. We started meeting up on Saturdays. Our meeting place was at Cine and we frequently went out to play pool, arcade, movie...be it silly things, but it was the warmth of friendships, the presence of friends around that truly mattered.

I met another bunch of friends through my colleagues at this BBQ and there fired off a whole bunch of friendships too.

>> I entered my third relationship. He was a really humourous and entertaing guy. Laughter was common music with his company. I was happy.

I remembered once I told him I felt very depressed because everyone around me seemed to have some kind of talent but I don't. He told me, "The grass is always greener on the other side. You have but you probably just don't know it."

>> I was working all along. It was also during this year, I started to get influenced by my colleagues and began to be not as guai as before. It was another beginning of a whole "new" life, I had my first real experience of nightlife, going to stay over at chalets, going discos, pubs.

Smoking was the only thing I never got down to. Had many opportunites to try it but couldn't bring myself to do it.. Glad I resisted the temptation. Now I've passed the stage of even wanting to try.

I had a whole lot of fun, but with these, the amount of troubles mounted too. Sometimes I really wonder whether all this influence was good... Life started getting more complicated.

I saw and experienced a lot more things than before. I made many more friends. But I lost my "purity" in thinking. I became more mature I supposed, is that good? They always link maturity and unhappiness together... It made me realise the world isn't as perfect as I thought.

>> Despite everything, I was still a relatively good student. Only a few more slips of detention classes and a few warnings from my teachers for my a-litte-brown hair. :p

Most of the photos with that kangaroo are taken in Gold Coast. The one with me in white was taken at a Christmas party that year and the dude beside me is Tsp.

With a relationship, a rather satisfactory smile that I've had a fulfilling year, I strode into my fourth and final year in Rgs with a tough year ahead in mind.
