Its 2008! (Blabber Version)

Hey,
Its already 2008
And I haven't reflected on 2007, nor did i make any resolutions for 2008 (except for not eating pineapple tarts + replying sms-es asap)
Well resolutions never worked ... so i shall stop devising stuff that will make me feel bad.


Good things:

1. Had a short 'fling' (haha!) with someone who made me happy (and no longer made me sad (= )
2. Finished NIE & got a $100 pay rise. (make it $80 after CPF. HA~HA~HA! Only enough to pay for guitar fees... )
3. Learnt a bit of piano & still learning guitar
4. Did 8km, 10km, 21km ( think i'll continue to do so even though running does result in a big ass...)
5. Realised that I'm in a group in school (WT.. hah)
6. Went Port Dickson, Cameron, Taipei & Siem Reap (i want more!)
7. 2007 is OVER!

As for the bad things, let's not mention them. Already have insufficient time to do the things i want... (for example i should be doing crunches now/ finishing my work/watch korean drama/read Watership Down) not gonna waste time on unpleasant stuff =P

I don't understand how some pple can feel bored staying at home/not working/not going out. I don't have enough timeeeee.... i want to feel bored

Guess the beginning of a new year gives perfectly good reason to start afresh. Think I've been especially disappointed with myself in work. May 2008 be a great year!

In Hamlet, there was this quote which says that one must be "cruel in order to be kind". So in Wanling's Little Purple Book, there's a quote that says " I must be disciplined in order to be free"... Meaning, if i'm hardworking and finish my lesson plan by friday nite, i'll have more time over the weekends! in other words... i MUST procrastinate less ( i didn't say that i cannot procrastinate. that cannot happen haha! )

BTW, i am feeling surprisingly cheery on 01.01. 2008.

Maybe its because I met up with Meiren, Fav and Hon/ then went Xiaoyi's place for steamboat and fondue on the last day of 2007. (high from great company, miso soup, chocolate and alcohol!)

And perhaps its because i went to the Indian temple with my parents at 6plus in the morning on New Year's Day. Haha! ( this starting off the year with sthing i want to do- spend more time with parents...)

Was telling HX that I have alot of things to look forward to this year...

The Wish List:

1. Travel! ( To HK? To China? To Vietnam? To Africa?)
2. Diving!
3. Climb a mountain! (the 10 peaks project? Mt Kinabalu?)
4. Run 42.195km?
5. Learn dancing?!
6. Learn Pop Piano?!
7. Not hesitate to pursue what i wanna do!

The To-Do List:

1. Be hardworking
2. Be responsible
3. Be a better daughter
4. Be a better friend
5. Be healthy
6. Not be too fat. (shall be elaborated if i am blogging the 2008 Ah-Q version haha!)

Its probaby a bit cheesy to say this... but i was actually feeling sparkly this morning... as there were thousands of tiny efferverscent bubbles in me. (think coke)

Which Winnie-the-Pooh and Friends Character are you?

You are Tigger! You want to jump around on your tail and bounce your way through the year! Although you are not perfect, you are determined to keep your spirits up up and away! Bounce on! (taken from Wanling's Little Purple Book)

Really nonsensical today... but who cares?!

Hope that happy thoughts continue to grace my gut (its definitely growing. physically) this year. So can we really govern most of our emotions? That we ourselves decide whether we wanna be jolly or down in the dumps?

Then i wanna be happy!

Ok... i'm getting bored with my own messy musings. Bye.

P/S: on the train this morning at 640am (can u believe it.. i took 30mins to reach Bukit Batok Station)... i was standing opposite this guy who looked 90% like a Secondary School classmate. Even his actions and demeanor resemble my friend. So much so that I couldn't help feeling paranoid- that he is actually really that friend, but i don't recognise him and he must be thinking how rude i was to not even say hi. Anyway, i guess he did notice that i would glance his way quite often (from bukit batok to yishun- i can't help it) So to prevent myself from fixating my glance on him, i'll look somewhere else. And it caused other pple to think that I am looking at them.

ACTUALLY, the point of all the rubbish above is... I've decided to try this when I'm bored on the MRT:
"MISSION-HOW UNCOMFORtABLE I CAN MAKe SOMEONE ON The PUBLIC TRANSPORT "
Haha... how uninspired can one get.
