looking back

hmmm though this year wasn't a fantastic year... but i'm still thankful for the turnout of events... considering how bad things could have become :D

1. At least i still have job and get paid (though there's lotsa nonsense)
2. At least my loved ones are still healthy and around me :)
3. I got a perm job and adjustment before the whole economy downturn :P
4. I get to still continue singing though the serious lack of commitment from me *guilty*
5. A couple of great colleagues befriended (though all either left the co or posted to other project) but i'm still glad that i had the chance to be part of the big family
6. Befriended many new friends thanks to salsa
7. Lost n found friends

so... conclusion - not a fantastic year.. but definitely still got sparkles of brightness here n there :D ox ox... here we come!!

Money matters

Gosh... CNY is coming!!

received my credit card bill... amount still within expected amount... so not really shocked or wad.. though it's rather on the high side :P

intend to throw in my 13month into UT... hahaha

gotta save more!! so that hopefully all goes well then i can execute my plan for mid year... muhahaha

oh i've got my risk textbook.. have to start reading! :) it was a pretty good buy cos kino n borders selling at 150+ n i got from smu bookshop for 56 :P

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

our decisions

was looking thru some donkey years ago photos... n i realised something...

Wearing braces is a decision i'll never regret!! it really helped a lot... cos of nicer teeth... i have the confidence to smile more... smile brilliantly...

one big contrast fr my past... cos my misalignment has affected my biting... so now.. it's a lot better hehhee more confidence to take photos.. though i still dun see the need to get a camera... haha

aching fr gym... enjoying it.. hhaa

bad news day

Yup.. got a couple of bad news today...

an acquaintance passed away from cancer... n he's just a couple of years my senior! gosh... :(

my auntie's life-saving was accidentally known away by my cousin when she was spring-cleaning.. it's too much for her to handle.. sighh...

this year's CNY will be so different cos granny's too weak to prep the food items so mum is sourcing for caterer... suddenly it feels like everyone has grown apart over these few year... i miss those times when granny's house is a just a street across...

i'll remember once mum forgot to tell granny to pick me up fr tuition class... so i just stupidly sit outside the RC and do my work... den she just happen peer out of the window n see me sitting there alone.. n pick me up.. (those days dun have mobile phone lah). Though i'm not the closest grandchild of hers (unlike my sisters n kors who are being taken care by her) but she's always there to look after the grandkids (us) without fail :P

how time flies... i'm already going 25 le!!!! so fast..!! :S remember i used to think 28 is an ideal age to get married.. but now it seems so near... old old old liao...~

suddenly have an idea.. the next person to ask me when i'm going to get married.. i'm going to tell them i'm single!!! muahhhaa save me a lot of questions... hmmm will it?

gatherings

today went to a group of friend's gathering.. technically they're his friends.. but i also know them quite well cos they're my seniors from camp / comp club....

the whole world is asking when we're getting married... how am i supposed to reply...? i really dunno... kinda like reached a point where it doesn't really matter to me... i'm happy with things they are...

i just bought (yes more buying) a plastic tray n some plastic slot... trying to make a drawer to organize all my belts.. hope it works!! DIY in progress... would be better if the tray has a cover.. but just a start.. haha

it's just another day..... meanwhile.. pray for me...

i'm a horrigible shopaholic

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! :D
