Well its that time of the year again, the end of the year. Time for my reflection on 2008.

2008 was again interesting year, lots of things happened. It was kind of the reverse of 2007, the start was eventful, full of fights/conflict, and the end of it was happier and peaceful. It’s the year where everything started taking place and make sense, helped particularly through my art work.

Good things of 2008

Two words “Ultimate Victory”
These 2 words sum up everything of this year. Basically means happiness. The theme of Ultimate Victory is about being happy with life, and what we have. When you start thinking like this everything is great. This started taking a strong meaning for me around June, my school marks were the highest they have ever been, I was physically the strongest I had been, and had great close friends. When you are happy with everything, and not being sad about what you don’t have, life is truly great!

Probably one of the best memories of 2008 is my art exhibition. The best night I have had. So happy to show my work to my friends, and those I didn’t know, and have them take an interest in it. I will never forget that night. Also I’m so proud of the folio of work I produced for it, especially the end I felt was so mature and forgiving.

Another good night was graduation dinner. Finishing my final exam was great and then that night celebrate with my friends, a great time and relief. I love wearing a suit, and seeing others in formal clothes as well… I’m looking for any opportunity to wear my suit again… so far no luck. That night I won the CAS award, which was a great achievement, for all the hours and effort I put into my extra-curricular activities, they helped me develop so much.

My friends! They have been there for me the whole time through all the hard times, and me there for them, and together we got through all the drama that came our way. Now we enjoy the happy times together, and laugh at all the conflicts we got through. Honestly without my close friends I don’t know how I would gotten through those situations. So a big thanks Fern my best griend and to Peter, Aaron my 2 closest friends. And thanks to new friends this year Iris and Sandy, and all those that have inspired me and my art along the way, and those that gave me a small light of happiness!

Also a big thank you to all my good dA friends, for all your support, comments, and tips. You people really make me enjoy putting my work up here. Thanks to Aquasakura, Mleth, Czaren, CandyKins.

There was so much good times of 2008, especially after living by “Ultimate Victory”

My 3 favourite art pieces from 2008 are:
Resolution [link]
Self-Doubt [link]
It's finished [link]

These 3 pieces sum up my journey of 2008, and my new look at life. they are they most meaningful to me.

The bad of 2008

After realising Ultimate Victory and being happy its very hard to remember bad things.

Well at the start of the year their were some problems with Asha, but looking back I laugh at what happened, and thankful for it happening. It taught me so much about myself, others, and gave me the perfect inspiration for half of my art work this year, and leading to Ultimate Victory pieces at the end. So I don’t take it that bad now, but at the time was bad. So big thanks to Asha, for letting me see so much even though we didn’t get along at all.
I don’t know what else to put here… overall I look at the year as a very good one.

So that’s a short summary of the good and bad of 2008. A good year, I now have a much clearer idea on many things, and how to go about things and life in general.


As for 2009
Get my high school results, and then start seriously look at uni and which course and where.
Continue to keep in contact with all my friends, in person or email for those who are too far away.
Continue with my art, and continue to take it to new places/ideas. (maybe even attend art school at uni)
Still hope about going to China (in the near future)

Just enjoy life!

Happy New Year to all! Hope that your 2009 starts great and brings you happiness!
