Hello 2009

I know I'm a bit late but this feels more like the right time. (I was trying to get over the transition period and convince myself that it's already 2009). I'm not going to make any new year resolutions. Guess when people reach my age, this age, they just stop making this sort of things altogether. Whats the point when you know that you're not gg to remember them later or just feel guilty or horrible for not being able to achieve what you have set out to do early in the year? And since life is so unpredictable, I guess we can settle with small goals along the way.

I just hope 2009 would and could be a good year. Things to do are aplenty. Bring on the fun and surprises and I think I will do fine. Already, there are things to look forward to, ie, getting rid of braces and then, not so welcoming the retainers.

I've been finding myself relying on my trusty notebook to check what I've done for the previous weeks and so. Hence, I was looking thru the book to see how I've spent 2008. I actually feel quite sad about this. It either shows that my memory is failing badly or that nothing eventful has happened in the year. Looking back, everything felt so far away. Like, working at the clinic, going for fieldtrips, SPOP! concert (gosh I almost forgot abt that thing!),tuitions, UPS, fireworks, deadlines, more deadlines, presentations, forums, assignments,going to the ZOO twice within a month, avenue Q, thailand, christmas, painting the living room....There's more, but I think it would take long. I guess when I was not pent up with project deadlines and all, I really felt at ease with myself in 2008.

Anyway, this is one of the first few places that I've been in 2009 (always wanted to go there, the view is amazing) and yes, Happy New Year. May it be a good year for you too.

I'm too lazy to think of a title

I am relieved.

With the results of cus. I thought of waiting till after christmas to check em but I guess I was never that kind - the nonchalent, results-dont-matter to me kind of person. Sadly, my results do matter to me. Yeah and so I checked them after a long cold shower which I thought could help heal my aching legs but to no avail.

Anyways. Back to the results. I did ok I guess. Its like standard. Maintained. Never go up, never go down. Which is good. It seems like I'm consoling myself before I'm going to start wailing about how I could have done better(what I always do)but this time I am only grateful. Honestly, I feel that I was only upset with one module which I got a B-. Other than that, I'm glad my results were yeah, stagnant.

And I had a good day today. Went singing with S and we went for steamboat after. I'm so glad for steamboat cus I ate so much it finally cured my "I'm still hungry and I still want to eat you better give me food!" syndrome. R would be so happy I'm gg to finally stop whining and gushing over food.

And I'm also happy becus daddy bought me CLEO! ok lar he exchanged it with his points at the petrol station but still! =D

p/s: Christmas is a nightmare at orchard road!

Somewhere in time

It was alright. Not great. Seems as there should be more to the plot. But I loved the setting. And there was just something about it. Probably because it was an old film. It feels surreal. And it feels as if its just another film that was to be dated back then, yet it seems real.

And Elisa said,

"The one I’ve created in my mind



I can almost see him now before me
What would I say to him? If he were really here
Forgive me
I have never known this feeling
I’ve lived without it all my life
Is there any wonder I would fail to recognise you?
You brought in to me for the first time"

I guess that was the most beautiful part of the entire film.


The funniest part was when Elisa asked Richard what time it was, it was nearly five in the morning. Which was the same time that I've been watching the film.

Con of IVLE sms notification

I woke up from my nap due to a sms, feeling slightly annoyed and immensly guilty when I saw the message.

'Study hard and good luck for your GE2221 paper (Thu 4 Dec; 5-7 pm; MPSH1A)! '

I cannot wait for tmr to be over.

Oh my god oh my god. I cant believe that I actually changed those settings without knowing. Thank goodness I realised soon enough. If not I can just go bang wall. I will have no friends and I will suffer.

Dont ask me what.

Read

I think I need new books. Finished A Kite Runner in bed during this short break and I realised that I hadnt read fiction for a very long time. Too long in fact.

There's a Jodi Picoult book that I have but I just dint get myself to read that one. I think I grew out of Jodi Picoult and that I dont really like her books anymore. I will be more than willing to give away that one. Hopefully someone else can appreciate it better than I do. Its The Pact.

Yeah and since the hols is coming, I can do with a few more paperbacks. And this time, I will be reading for pleasure. Sadly, pleasure doesnt come from reading readings of late.
