first post of the year

after a long grand hiatus i've decided to blog finally, for the first time in 2008.

was looking thru my dec christmas wishlist and it dawned on me that only one (half, actually) of the items came true: getting the stardust book. and for that matter, it's bought by yours truly for herself, yea tt's how pathetic my xmas went. :(

the last few weeks of dec and the first few weeks of jan were horrible horrible and horrible. lotsa bad news, stress, unlucky things happening.. blah blah. felt pretty ill on xmas eve and spent midnight counting down to some positive kidney pain n went to see a doc on xmas. oh and i lost my beloved coach wallet in the first week of jan, complete with the hundred bucks of cash inside, the second IC i have, all my cards n shopping cards. worth of 1k in value altogether, and yup it's still very painful inside.

sometimes i feel as if i can't ever be happy again....

on a good note i'm on course for these 2 weeks n the training has been really good... we're learning how to diagnose kids (and adults too) for autism.. so after this we'll be certified to do so.. it's so fun and challenging to learn so much 'bout autism, how to identify its subtle features n learn how to elicit certain behaviours that would enable us to tell... i'm shocked to know that we're paying 30 over freaking thousand for the trainer to just teach us for 8 days... waliao.. i wanna earn this kinda money too..

thurs night i hung out with my girlfriends and we were talking bout guys when ceci asked, are u all afraid of never finding ur prince charming? and all the gals went unanimously, Yes! umm okie before this sounds like we're a bunch of desperate bimbos, we're really not. we're not desperate to find someone now.. it's just more like, the fear of not being able to find "the one" in our whole lifetime, and having to spend our lives alone and single forever ever... the thought of it is scary.

it's just so hard to find someone that really matches our expectations, plus we must have the chemistry, plus we must happen to like each other, etc isn't it? my bunch of gfs are really nice gals.. but yet all of us are single n there's just no right guys for us. and we're turning 25 in a year. gawwwwd.

alright like everyone in the world who blogs here's my little list of new year resolutions.... like i'll make them happen. anyway here goes:

1) stop losing my things, period. 3 handphones, 3 wallets and 2 ICs later, it's high time i really learn how to be in control of my possessions.

2) finish reading my damn harry potter. 5 months of trying n i'm still at page 457. and i could finish volume 5 in 2 days.

3) after harry potter, i've got a thousand splendid suns, stardust and kiterunner to catch up. in that order.

4) check that temper of mine... esp towards my mum.

5) be committed to work wholeheartedly, to try my best in everything i'm given, and to go beyond that if i can..

6) decide on my career options.. further studies? switch to EO path first?

7) exercise more. join the gym if possible.

8) learn photography.

9) be happy. that's the only thing we're here on earth for.

10) not to succumb to temptations, too much.

11) remain single (edit: for the time being)

12) stay at home on more weekends and do things i've always wanted to.

okie... i'm gonna work on number 12 for a start... today's saturday and i can't rem when's the last sat i spent at home. so today's gonna be a first and i'm gonna finish harry potter, eat lotsa food at home, watch tv and slack!!!

wheeee my couch potato life..
