The dearest piece of 2008, which I wouldn’t want to give up, would be the C1 exam.
I immortalised it in Kingdom Hearts : Re : Chain of Memories.
Re : Chain uses a card system – all attack/magic/items/whatever are called using cards (yes, the ones with crown heads, like the pictures I recently created). There were three decks to fill according to one's own needs. As most Re : Chain players would do, I created one magic-based deck, one offence-based deck, and one reserved for boss battles. And then, I had to name them. (If you're reading the names aloud, drag the R's in, do not push them out like you normally do in English !)
I named the first one Esterel.
The second one, I called Ricordel.
And the third, Fonterel.
I called the first one Esterel because to me, it was a magical place. It’s the name given to one of the rooms in the Alliance Française in KL (methinks it could be a French surname ; correct me if I’m wrong). Despite the fact that I spent four excruciating hours (and so did my invigilator, the attachée linguistique), it all paid off. I also developed a tune while the attachée linguistique wasn’t looking. :D

The second one – the offence-based one, and my favourite deck – I named it in honour of the attachée linguistique, Fabienne Ricordel. Yeah, from what I saw, she was one kind, sympathetic person, even at the point where I was exasperated with all those consecutive tests. (Merci, Mme Ricordel, pour l'autre jour !) :)
And the third one – well, I happened to hear of the surname Fonterel somewhere. I think it was in one of my audio files – while I was preparing for the C1. Also, I had to name it with something that ended with “-el” so that there’ll be uniformity.
Esterel, Ricordel, Fonterel.
All these have a connection with my C1, and I won't be changing these names for a very long time.
