I found this quiz back in 2005 and had it stored in my blog. I re-worded the questions to fit the year and the time of this posting. I'll leave out my answers for the time being. I know it's a tad long but people have done the Soundtrack of your life quiz before and that was pretty long. Just thought they would be a way of getting to know Channel-Ai members. Just copy and paste.

5. What countries did you visit?
6. What would you like to have in 2010 that you lacked in 2009?
7. What date from 2009 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
9. What was your biggest failure?
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
11. What was the best thing you bought?
12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
14. Where did most of your money go?
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
16. What song will always remind you of 2009?

25. What was the best book you read?
26. What was your greatest musical discovery?
27. What did you want and get?
28. What was your favorite film of this year?
29. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?

Remember bringing surveys to this forum, this looks nicely done.
1. What did you do in 2009 that you'd never done before?
Keep a consistent study program, which I have never done in my whole life until now.
2. Did you keep your New Years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
To be awfully honest, I don't remember mine for this year, but I will make twice next year to make up for it.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Nope.
4. Did anyone close to you die?
No, thankfully.
5. What countries did you visit?
Stayed here in Australia all year.
6. What would you like to have in 2010 that you lacked in 2009?
Consistency, edgier effectiveness in study, balance.
7. What date from 2009 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
A lot of great memories, probably either the ANZAC Day 2009 match or the night I dreamed about my first kiss. They were just moments that I'd feel extremely happy but any day this year has given me benefit in learning more about myself.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Rebuilding my habits in school.
9. What was your biggest failure?
Failing a few tests at the beginning of the year. It was failure to me at that point because I swore to myself I would improve on last year which was horrific. But my school year dramatically went up as I improved my study habits. I know, so much school talk....
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
Just the usual cold and flu.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
Food, I know that's normal
12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
If it weren't for my friends and the friends I made at my new school this year, this year would've been no fun!
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
My brother at times has gotten me stressed so many times (lost count) over countless video game errors and firmware stuff and he usually thinks it is the end of the world.
14. Where did most of your money go?
Probably public transport.
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
Probably when I was going to ask one of my friends out for a casual thing but she wasn't able to make it because she was going on a interstate vacation. And also when the AFL season commenced!
16. What song will always remind you of 2009?
Don't Stop Believin' by the cast of Glee. Heaps of Goosebumps!
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
i. happier or sadder?
ii. thinner or fatter?
iii. richer or poorer?
Happier, probably fatter which is good so I can burn it off or something and I guess richer, we've been saving up for a vacation at the end of next year's Christmas.
18. What do you wish you'd done more?
Getting active most of the day.
19. What do you wish you'd done less of?

You can't always get what you want and you should always value the things you have (gadgets, things and most importantly, your family and friends) because some people may not have it. So be grateful.
38. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
''I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly, I'll do what it takes 'til I touch the sky, I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change and breakaway. Out of the darkness and into the sun, but I won't forget all the ones that I loved, I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway.''
- Breakaway, Kelly Clarkson.
I've made a change to myself, I'm proud, it's time to build up on it and take it to the top. |

Two of my closest friends and one of my close online friends
36. Who was the best new person you met?
Dr. Gabor Maté, he's really funny in person. Also, the new members of Channel-Ai.
37. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2009:
This is what I wrote in 2005 but it still remains true. If you want your dreams to come true, fight for it! Don't give up even if obstacles are thrown in your way, because it can still come true as long as a door or a window is open.
38. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
Stuck in a world
No longer turning
Always the girl
Waiting for something
Too many days
Walking around sleeping
Open my eyes
I'm tired of dreaming
I wanna run with the reckless emotion
Find out if love is the size of an ocean
Even if I crash down and burn out
At least I'm gunna know what it's like
To feel alive
