2008 Yearender

2008 December 31
by Hsiao Wei Chen

Tori’s working on his yearender blog post, so I guess I should too. Okay, here’s a summary (okay, I cheated and went through my old blog posts for this month-by-month list, ‘coz to be honest, I don’t really remember everything that happened to me this year. Pardon me, if I want to include mostly accomplishments):

// here’s how it goes, the month in bold letters, and then followed by a picture of me, or something that I did during that month and a little brief  (so let’s go and look for those pictures. Thank goodness for WordPress and their Media Library with Date Filter.)

January

February

Okay, this looks more like me. But, the star of this photo is not me (sadly…) but the purple lollie, made from polymer clay (which is one of about a dozen or so creations my sister and I did over the summer).
