my 2008...

Phew!

Finally, a year of mixed emotions, uncertainties, and crazy work schedules has come to an end, and a fresh new start awaits right around the corner, a couple of hours away...

I had more or less cut down on a lot of excesses, be it in clubbing, food, shopping or other unnecessary expenditures, and I hardly go out much these days, but it hasn't been an easy year for me, that's for sure...

Well, as they say, it can only make me stronger and a better person...

So before we go on to an exciting 2009, here's a quick glance back at some note-worthy events of in...My 2008

Edric Hsu at Casual Poet Cafe * Travelled to Phuket (January), Hokkaido and Tokyo (February) and Bangkok for Songkran (April)...

 One of my stock images was selected for the poster of a huge bank chain in *Taipei** , the Taiwan Shin Kong Commercial Bank...

  • I recorded voiceovers for " Snow City Singapore " and " Magic - The Science of Illusion Show " for Science Centre Singapore commercials, as well as sung the rap jingle for the " Mr Buckle Up " ad which will be shown to school children in 2009...

  • I have been providing weekly illustrations for Bryan 's " I-Weekly" articles on Health and Beauty, and finally developing a comfy drawing style of my own...

  • I designed concert posters, flyers and programme booklets for DynamicWorkz , for their " Cello & Piano Duo Recital by Joshuan Roman & Benjamin Loh" and " Beethoven Complete Piano Sonatas" concerts...

  • I'd met up with long-lost school mates from my River Valley High School days, as well as from Queensland University of Technology where I studied...

  • I'd brought friends from Taipei from the popular Indie band, Sodagreen , all around Singapore, as shown in my " Local Sights Through Foreign Eyes" series, and in return, they treated me to the " Sodagreen - Sing With Me Tour" concert at the Max Pavilion ...

  • I experimented in photo shoots of my own, ranging from " The Dark Side", " Light Sketches", to my " Pseudo Lomo", " Emo Nemo" and " Merman" series...

  • To create a higher profile for myself in the acting and commercial industry, I signed up for an Official Artist Profile on AliveNotDead.com , an international website that caters to all performers and their supporters...

  • I have been considerably less active on Livejournal , and more on Facebook . In fact, you can almost always find me on the latter site..

  • I have lost many "supposed" friends (but well, that's no real loss anyway) through their own self-expos e, but I have also made some really nice new ones. I am truly grateful to those of you who have gifted me with your unconditional friendship! 

  • I have had numerous computer trouble, but thanks to squido and stingerx, as well as my old friend Bryan Gan , I am now able to type out this entry smoothly and without problems. Touch wood!

  • I am spending a lot more time on my own, which is really very nice, and also with my family, which can never be replaced...

I have probably a lot more I could add, but for now, this will suffice...

That's already plenty of activity and events for a year that I was supposed to "do nothing"! :-)

I am looking forward to a wonderfully fresh and exciting new year in a few moments, so for now, I want to wish everyone reading this...

Have A Wonderfully Blessed 2009!!!
