Ringing in the New Year with some olds

Ringing in the New Year with some olds

omg HI2U!! haha… it’s been a mad few days, so sorry about the lack of updates. it looks like i will be doing a whole week and a half straight without a break now, at least, because we are severely short staffed. MORE DOUGH FOR ME!

Christmas was full of little surprises, and one big one. Sarah, my friend from Jurong Institute (or year 11/12) dropped in with little notice, and spent a weekend and some with me. I was so full of work and stuff to do though, that i could only afford 1 day and so with her. unfortunately, i was also too tired to spend those few sparse hours, and we both ended up sleeping in rather than do touristy stuff. GIVE ME MORE WARNING NEXT TIME LA, CAN!?!? stupid woman.

the total haul (including from me to me!):

  • a violin (no pink, but purple, for warranty reasons)
  • a panda pajamas ^________^ (love you too Sare!)
  • more pink pajamas (sigh lala land hints…)
  • a Princess Diana Concert DVD
  • a POOH BEAR!
  • some chocolates ^_^
  • a couple of books
  • Christmas wishes from dad (this means alot to me simply because… it’s a sign that he accepts my being in a different religion)
  • a Pooh Clock

it’s not very excessive this year, but i don’t really care. i had a nice time sleeping in, and then had Sarah to come home to for a while – it almost felt like i was back in senior high.

So here’s my New Year’s resolution for this year:

  1. get out of any remaining debts.
  2. get fit! (isn’t that coming up on all the lists i have made this year? :p)
  3. sleep more! i think, after talking to Sare, i realised how little rest i have been getting recently ^_^
  4. start completing what i have never finished. through out my life, i realised that i give up too easily. isn’t it so easy to just run away…? there are some things i can’t or won’t go back and do, but there are some i can easily fix up and complete. and i shall start with music and languages :) here’s to getting there finally.
  5. Get organised – the house, the schedules, maintaining an organiser properly and mailing out things at the right times for the right things (erm, x’mas cards for the year they are meant to be mailed out :p)
  6. get back into volunteering – no more building schools though… the last concaved wall probably collapsed >.>
  7. Read more books, especially what I like.
  8. dress up more!
  9. eat right!
  10. SAVE MONEY!

That’s it. for now. i think. this list might just get impossible if i list much more.

here’s to a better year than this year for everyone ^_^ what’s your resolutions, darlings?

Kamael!

Kamael!

finally!

made a new character on Lineage 2 (like i actually have time to play it). the hair options are awesome! i wonder if i can force my hair around like that. meanwhile, it has garnered the length.

i didn’t play the pts this time, since i obviously had no time for it. however, there are definitely some welcome changes that i have noticed, particularly map updates and the xp increment. woo…

where’s the year gone?!?!

where’s the year gone?!?!

i started the year with plenty of hopes and stuff to do on my wishlist (not to mention to buy as well, lol) and then now, i just turned around and the whole year’s gone! wtf?!?!

With this year, i have suddenly realised many things, in the process of which i hope i have grown up. And of the few things that “people should do before they die” i have done:

  • Got myself deported
  • had a budget holiday, in a not so budget way!
  • stayed in a place where i actually enjoy staying in
  • got myself a kitten!
  • ATE SCALLOPS!
  • attended a friend’s wedding (finally!)

i did started writing a book, but i trashed it, yet again. someday, i will get there.

Despite all that though, i realised i have not fulfilled a single thing on last year’s resolutions. albeit i did kind of get a new job… i also went straight back into the comforting arms of my original job =.= FAIL!! i did also start exercising somewhat, but until work settles into a lesser routine, i am not likely to be able to continue the exercise regime much. i mean, seriously, take today for example, i have slept almost the whole day and i am still tired.

other things that i managed to do despite not being on the list:

  • sent dad some money
  • getting my head around some sort of financial planning (Which only falls apart because i wasn’t saving prior to that and then had to blow some money on getting deported)
  • SENT SOME DAMN CARDS OUT!!!! for christmas
  • reading books that i told myself aren’t reading materials i.e management books.

and so, while it’s not quite the end of the year, i should be finalising some resolutions shouldn’t i? WILL GET ON IT!

p.s some of you aren’t getting cards, because i am mailing you presents. and because i am a dumb cunt, you might receive it much later than anticipated. SORRY!

Also, Shadow-chan, l2 is downloading SLOWLY for me. don’t know why just yet, but almost there!
