Saturday, December 31, 2005 My last post for the Year 2005.Celebrating the new year used to be a fun & exciting event but as one gets older, the fanfare seems to die down alot. To me, it's just another public holiday which I look forward to. And of late, end of the year tends to evoke a sense of nostalagia & lots of sentiments in me. Since 2 years back, somehow I dread receiving the new year & saying goodbye to the former. Cuz it means I'm getting older & looking back, yet again, I felt like I have yet to achieve anything in life. No doubt, I'm thankful for having a job, for staying alive, for the abundance blessings....but somehow I feel life is not complete until some rite of passage has been done. Looking back this year, the only major thing I did was changing my job & taking up a part-time course. Other than that, it's the same year in, year out. My wish for 2006? Besides good health to myself & my loved ones......there is one other wish that only God knows. Wishing everyone a healthy & blessed 2006! Tuesday, December 27, 2005 It has been such a long time since I have received so many gifts. About 10 in total.....though some are just small gifts like chocolates, etc....I'm pretty happy as it's the thought that counts.Anyway, I guess I must have been a relatively good girl this year cuz I managed to get 2 items out of my wishlist. And they are a bag (a gift from my staff) & a second-hand LCD monitor screen courtesy of my bro. This year's X'mas felt like a Chinese New Year to me cuz I had to do a couple of "visiting" on Xmas Day itself (4 to be exact, from 3pm - 11pm) . Pretty tiring but luckily there was a long weekend. Didn't feel like coming back to work today as I have yet to recover from the festive cheer. Looking forward to another long weekend coming up this week already. Wishing all a Happy, Blessed & Healthy 2006 ahead, in advance! Monday, December 19, 2005 I am going to be an auntie soon! Well, at least not till next Aug. My sis is pregnant and my mom is delighted since she is going to be a Grandma soon.I find it odd that my sis is pregnant. Though she's only a min younger than me, she can be a kid at times. And though she had just gotten married about 6 months ago, she's still very much like a "mummy girl". But I'm sure she has grown up a lot being overseas. Anyway, I'm sure my bro would also feels the same for my sis & I...that we're still like kids. Furthermore, my sis & I belong to the underweight, skinny-pole category so getting pregnant sure is weird. But it's still a blessing & I hope the pregnancy will be smooth. Anyway, looks like we have to make some adjustments to our trip up France to visit her. Can't expect a big-tummy-belly-mummy-to-be to walk long distance or sit in a train to various parts of Europe with us. At first I still thought of going Europe during the autumn month (I can save $$ by not over-shopping during their summer sale) so that I can wear my thick clothes which is collecting dust at home. Also at the same time, experience the cold air in Europe. Well, guess summer will do too. I just have to "eat grass" for the next year or so. Thursday, December 15, 2005 I was given a pair of complimentary ticket to attend the Gala Premiere of King Kong, presented by Nokia on Tuesday night.Nothing is expected less from the acclaimed director Peter Jackson (who also directed Lord of the Rings). Overall, it was a good show despite it being 3 hours long. And the visual effects were equally amazing. I know it's just a movie but somehow it evoked a certain kind of emotion & thought from me. Why do humans always think that guns, destruction or violence is the solution to all problems? Think 911, Sydney racial riots, etc. Sometimes, we humans are the ones who seek trouble (as the saying goes in Chinese - No trouble go find trouble) and sometimes, somethings are better left untouched or disturbed. Well, shame to say, I cried nearing the end of the show cause it's so sad. Ok, I shan't reveal too much else I'll spoil the fun. But just be prepared to warm the seat and don't drink too much water. Monday, December 12, 2005 I had a few friends who asked me if I wanted to go to Zouk Out last Sat, which was held @ Sentosa for the 5th time. As usual, the older me feels that I'm too old for this shit already. Instead, I went X'mas shopping & had a fulfilling trip (though it was marred by the huge argument I had with my boyfriend later that night but it all ended well after that when he apologized).I still remembered the 1st time I went to Zouk Out 5 years ago. The first ever Zouk Out. We booked 2 hotel rooms at Sijori Resort and ended up cramping about 6 guys in one room and I ended in the other room with about 10 people - my bf, guys, girls & gays. One good-looking gay even asked my bf if he could kiss him! It was kinda traumatic for my bf. Haha! But it was a hilarious night of fun & excitement. We got ourselves drunk on alcohol & played games in the hotel room before we headed out to dance from about 11pm till sunrise. Guess when you're younger, you're full of vigor. You can see me dancing like mad at the Main tent & at the Techno tent (Richie Hawtin's set was amazing then, I can still recall). I danced & danced but don't even feel tired. I think now if you asked me to dance for just 2-3 hours, I doubt I can make it & the next day will sure have muscle aches. Wednesday, December 07, 2005 It's nearing the end of the year again & time really flies. Before you know it, I will hit my thirties soon. Scary.Anyway, December is also seemed as a joyous & celebratory month. Besides X'mas, there would also be the impending bonus. Though I don't expect much cuz mine would be pro-rated since I had only joined the company in April. One thing I missed working in my previous company (besides the zany & close-knitted colleagues) is the BIG FAT bonus. The first time I had so much... don't know what to do. So I squandered it. Yes I did and I don't even know on what exactly. Which explains why I am so broke now. Well, I've learnt my lesson. December is also be a "broke" month cuz there are so many X'mas dinners to attend & pressies to buy. But I like December. Hmm...maybe next time I would name my daughter (in my dreams) December? Anyway, if there's a Santa Claus out there...I want to tell him I have been a good girl this year so please grant me my X'mas gift. Or any of you who don't mind doing your bit for charity this care & share season. So here's my list (not in rank & order). What I want for Christmas: 1. DVD player 2. Fashion accessories (my fetish this season, necklaces! Boho, quaint, quirky) 3. Nice bags, shoes or apparel 4. Cash-in-kind 5. New computer monitor What I REALLY want for Christmas: 1. A new digital camera (Price: $500) 2. Sponsored permanent hair removal treatment (Price: $2,000) 3. Fully-paid trip to New Zealand (Price: $3,000) 4. Fully-paid trip to Bangkok (Price: $800) 5. Gucci sunglass ($300) What I REALLY REALLY want for Christmas: 1. Good Health for me & my loved ones (Priceless) 2. World Peace (Priceless) 3. Pay-raise (Priceless) 4. Lesser "dumb-ass" people (Priceless) - oops, hope Santa didn't read this. 5. Being loved (Priceless) |
