2007

2007 is a year of changes, enjoyment, excitement and happiness for me.

Let me recall…. 2007 is a year which:

1) My 12-years dream came true
- Masha looked and talked to me at his concerts at Matsuyama. My heart beat was so fast then. I could not believe it. Thank god that my seats were at arena and I could see him.

2) I finally went for Masha's photo exhibition
- I finally have the chance to attend Masha's photo exhibition after so many years! It was so wonderful to see Masha's works. Each of the photo tells how 細い and　優しい Masha is. His works really touched my heart.

3) I went to 鳥取砂丘(とっとりさきゅう) and 植田正治写真美術館
- It was my aim to go to these two places since N years back. Till now I cannot forget my feelings when I first saw 鳥取砂丘 and step my foot on it. Especially the feeling when my tears just dropped uncontrollably when I started to take photos there. This was a special place for Masha and it has somehow became a special place in my heart too.

- My mind was really calm and peaceful when I was at 植田正治写真美術館. If I have the chance, I would have just idle around there for one whole day. I hope someday I can go back again. I will, definitely.

4) I started photography
- I always have an interest in photography and wanted to learn it since I was young. I am glad that I finally started photography. I like the black and white photos, taking potraits and landscape. Masha has influenced me greatly on these aspects.The photos he took were so interesting and beautiful. He can capture people's truthful expressions. I hope my skills can be at least half of his someday.

5) I travelled the most
- I travelled 3 times to Japan and 1 time to Taipei. All for concerts and of course tour too. I got to know myself better through travelling, especially when I travelled alone. Travelling alone allows me to sort out my thoughts, talk to people and get exposed to new things. I do enjoy travelling with friend(s) too. It’s another different type of experience.

6) I become strong and healthy
- I signed up for gym on 1 Jan 2007 and started it on a few days later. I am glad that I have the perseverance to continue gym for almost a year. In fact, if not for Masha’s concerts at Matsuyama, I would not have started gym. Thanks, Masha!

7) I find that I have slight improvement in dancing
- I managed to count beats when listening to songs. My dance is still very poor but as compared to the past, I have improved slightly, only about 5%. I need to improve more.

8) I known a few new and nice friends
- It’s good that I know few nice new friends this year, be it during travelling or in Singapore. They are nice people and have offered their help to me. Thanks to all!

I would say 2007 is a good year for me and I am looking forward to 2008. I hope 2008 will be a even better year for me!
