New Year Resolutions

I think I am the last few who are still posting New Year resolutions. Smart right? End of Jan then post. Might as well wait till next year then post.


But then, this is my blog. I can post anything, anytime I like. Lalalalalalala!
Honestly, these new year resolutions I drafted - I don't intend to stick by them. Those that know me will know I don't react well to rules and regulations. And it means I fail at keeping resolutions. Muahahaha!


Here goes :

• Quit smoking. Laugh bah, you assholes. I know my friends are all evil people and are convinced I will pick up smoking within three months of quitting. Whatever! At least I am trying. Oh wait, quit smoking everyday but I will still be a social smoker. I can never not smoke when I am drinking. It's like eating chicken rice with no chicken.
• Cut down on drinking or stop altogether. Erm....cut down is doable. Stopping altogether is not. I don't understand why I even write "stop". 
• Chill and take life easy. Enjoy the journey cos most of the time, we don't get to the destination. Well, at least for me, that's the case. People can promise to walk with you till the end but then they can always choose to take a turn in between. Like a friend said - mostly, at the end of the day, you are by yourself. So why not just enjoy the walk while it last?
• Build up my savings account. Amazingly, this appears year after year. And very coincidentally, every time when I make my resolutions, my account shows double digits. Wahahaha! Ok, seriously, will make an effort to save this year.
• Stop biting my right thumb. T, if you are reading this, you better stop laughing! It's a comfort issue. When I get nervous, I bite it unknowingly. Cannot is it?
• Make something out of my career. I still have six years to fulfill my career goals. But why wait six years? I am going to make it happen in three.
• Quit worrying about people. Enough is enough. I do my best, you want to be an asshole/ bitch/ idiot/ retard, go ahead. I came to this world without you and I survived. So, I won't die without you.
• Make an effort to maintain friendships with the people who were with me during my darkest hours. Speaking of which, I better call the Ah Lian for our Oosters drink session soon.
• Stop falling asleep about 9pm every night, then wake up at 3/4am, try to find stuff to do and go back to sleep at about 6am and start panicking cos I only have one more hour to sleep.
• To make my Mama happy, yes, I will go see the god-damn doctor about that thingy on my neck. Knn....it's so near my face. If I have to go for an operation, I will kill myself. 
• Time for that degree. But I still want to have fun. So maybe after June will be a good time to head back to school. Haha!
• Speaking of which, maybe get a driver's license. Bwahahaha! I am bullshitting here la. I want a chauffeur. Not be a chauffeur.
• Stop using perfumes as air fresheners.
• Stop glaring at people who bumps into me on the MRT when it's crowded.
• Instead of yelling "Can you all move in?!?!" to people on a crowded bus, smile sweetly, then say "Move it please, assholes."

I think that's about it. Actually, there's a lot more but they are mostly rubbish resolutions I don't intend to keep so I just deleted them.


Actually, I don't think I will keep to most of them so drafting them was probably self entertainment at that time. Oh right, they were drafted because one of the resolutions was to at least blog once a week!

Looking back...

Looking back at 2009, I realized it had truly been a fast year. I thought I was screwed at first because the thought of facing everything alone was damn scary. But oh well, I survived and now I am stronger than before. *insert smug look*

A recap of the past year....walk with me and re-live the crazy moments.

01 January 2009 - Spent New Year counting down with The Sistahood, their partners, my bro, Michael and a few friends at Luke's crib. That was the first New Year that I actually celebrated with a bunch of people after like six years.

January - Three months since Shawn and I broke up. I decided I need to get up on my feet cos I had sat at the crossroad long enough. This was the breakthrough month as I removed the ring from Shawn that I had worn for five whole years. The necklace that I had really loved and worn since he gave it to me on my 21st birthday was also taken down. The old blog that track what happened during our relationship of six years was also shut down for good.

February - Threw a mahjong party and The Sistahood plus a bunch of close friends came over for food and mahjong. It was ages since I organized something like that! Awesome party! Met up with Shawn one last time to cancel the mobile lines and the feeling of how everything-is-over-after-we-part-ways-here washed over me. At that point of time, I felt like a burden has been lifted off me and I can finally walk on into my new journey. Attended Her World's birthday party with AW on Valentine's day and got myself drunk on Moet & Chandon by 5pm. (wtf??)

March - Doctor finally instructed "No alcohol". Didn't really listen but instead of drinking everyday, I cut down the drinking sessions to three/ four a week. An achievement ok?!?!

April - First time to Batam for a spa weekend with Sea Cucumber! Also, it was this time when I decided to not be so "dao" and accept more people/ friends into my life. Also, around this time, I embraced my title of being "Single" and am proud of it. 

May - Second time to Batam with Sea Cucumber. Attended Pink Dot event at Hong Lim Park with JT & LP. Went out for quite a few dates. Knew DoRAYmon via FB. 29 May - first time DoRAYmon and I met up at Boiler.  ^_^

June - First time I joined a movie night thingy with HY and the girls at Luke's. Got my third tattoo on the back of my neck. Fell very sick for a week - stupid viral infection and gastric flu. Started to spend more time with DoRAYmon while status was unknown.  -.- 

July - DoRAYmon had a couple of misplaced wallet and key incidents and started staying over. Then we went to Genting. And become a couple officially in Genting (of all places). Then we became "同居蜜友" ever since. **Happiness**


August - Attended unofficial pink dot picnic at Botanic Gardens with DoRAYmon, Chris, Terence and Louis. Went to the Smirn-Off event together on National Day where DoRAYmon meets JT. It was HILARIOUS!


September - Spent the first stay-cation at Rasa Sentosa with DoRAYmon a week before Vietnam. Visited Vietnam for the first time with DoRAYmon, Sis and Mao Mao - best holiday ever.


October - Left the PR company I was working for after three years. DoRAYmon organized a birthday dinner for me and it was also the first time we celebrated my birthday. Booked our tickets for Perth. First time in my life where I booked a holiday four months in advance!  @.@


November - Accepted the offer at the new company, it's a managerial position! DoRAYmon and I had our first quarrel. Eeyer. Wasn't a very happy month but we survived.


December - This is a fucking eventful month. Seriously. Went to Buko Nero (the restaurant that's famous for the months' long wait list) for dinner. Got an email which we have dismissed as a prank email (I can't write details of what happened because of some possible legal issues). Mum got diagnosed with breast cancer. We got couple phones - the iPhone! Well, I got mine myself lah while DoRAYmon's was a Christmas gift from me. DoRAYmon finally met the family, including the grandparents. Mama finally giving us her blessings. 
AND, a day or rather twenty four hours before the year ended, DoRAYmon said (I know he will probably strangle me for writing this out but I can't help it!) : You are going to be my wife.


Wooooo.....weeeee......wooooooot! What can I say? *acts shy*
Eh...this is not a proposal. No. Really not lah. But it could possibly happen soon. Yes, I am ultra confident in Us.  :p


As I saw how the past year began and ended, I realize how drama it looks. It began in the worst possible way but ended in the best scenario ever. When I thought my door was closed for good forever, God decided to send me an angel to turn my fucked up life around and fill it up with a lot of laughter and joy.


I haven't been this happy for a long, long time. Looking at how good this new year is already looking - I start in my new career next week, we have a trip to Australia next month, we have talked about working out something concrete for us when we are back from holidays, we are talking (though vaguely) of vacation plans in the third quarter of the year) - I can't help but look forward to our new year.  ^_^


This pretty much sums up my crazy 2009 and gives you an insight into my beautiful 2010. How about you? What have you done for the past year? Are you looking forward to the next year excitedly like me?


PS : I have drafted an entry on my new year resolutions. Oh yeah, I did it again. Some are practical while some are crap which I really don't intend to keep. But I am tired after the mahjong games today and DoRAYmon is nagging at me to go to bed (the nagging has stopped for a few minutes now though...haha) so I guess I will post it up over the next couple of days.
