I am surprised to find that I didn't make any resolutions last year. I think it could be likely because I had not accomplished those that I had set out in the previous year. So, I'll just copy those resolutions here,
1) run my first half marathon (NOT DONE!)
It's not that I'm lazy to run a half marathon. I just didn't find much time to train, so ended up doing my normal 5km routine runs only. I also had some gaps in between, espcially during exams. I'm back to running but this one is still something I need to put more effort towards.
2) never ever be complacent (A BIT!)
I think I'm somehow meant to work hard if I want to succeed in life. For a long time, I took things for granted, was too confident and too proud. I think there is some difference now. But, I'll still need to do more this coming year.
3) strengthen my relationship with God (YES!)
I think most people won't really see me as someone who is pious, given my general external persona. Given the fact that most of my friends practice a faith different from mine, I just prefer to keep my own practices private. In any case, I am not fit to preach to anybody so I would rather work on improving myself. I'm quite happy that I'm going to temple more often and I'm chanting the Lord's name everyday now. I'm reading books as well, so it's very fulfilling.
4) become a semi-vegetarian (HMMM!)
This is quite related to the previous resolution because you need to be meat-free to really get to the right state of mind. But, I think I want to be a vegetarian also because its the right thing to do. Most people are aware of the atrocities that animals are put through but choose to turn a blind eye. I think that is a very selfish frame of mind but sadly, many people do not feel anything. And just to be clear, I don't necessarily like animals. I just think it's cruel. So anyway, I was able to stay off meet whenever I had school or when I cooked my own food. The trouble is only when my mum or my aunt cooks. My words fall on deaf ears and I end up just eating because I don't want to make it a big issue. That is also why I keep wanting to buy my own house.
5) work out my other relationships (YES?)
Okay just to be clear, there are no boys involved. My guy friends are amazing because they don't give me anything to worry about. I feel I have to think less when I'm talking to them. And yes, I'm still un-surprisingly boyfriendless. It's more with my girlfriends that I thought I should reconnect. Just to remind everybody, this was two years ago, so I think I'm okay with everyone now. It took some time to realise that my friends have other friends and even boyfriends now, so they won't really have a lot of time for me. I re-defined my relationships with my friends - some became closer while others seemed just like a patch-up. In any case, I try to put in more effort now. But friends are always tricky. As for my family, it's more like a sine curve. Now, it's relatively fine and I hope it stays this way.
I think I'm not going to make more resolutions this year but simply work on the above. I'm glad to end the year on a high. I'm not worried about anything much and I've got the best grades this sem than I ever have in my entire uni life. I've booked my 2 grad trip tickets. I even have a job offer. So, I'm very blessed.

The Singtel woman finally called regarding my HTC Hero. YES! It'll be delivered to my doorstep next Tuesday. After 306 paper that day, I saw sheng who asked me if I wanted to go HK with him and his friend. I didn't even think and said yes. It's with free accomodation at sheng's aunt's place, so it's pretty worthit. But it's only next year in July. Yvonne should be coming with me! Hope that works out fine.
There are some things I wish I could tell people. Certain someone in particular. It could turn out pretty awkward and I cannot really tell wat I could get from it all. It's just this feeling that you wish you could feel more often. In any case, it was like a mini birthday present.=)

Now all our memories, they're haunted
We were always meant to say goodbye
Even without fists held high, yeah
Never would have worked out right, yeah
We were never meant for do or die
I didn't want us to burn out
I didn't come here to hurt you now
I can't stop
I want you to know
That it doesn't matter
Where we take this road
Someone's gotta go
And I want you to know
You couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on
So I'm already gone
Looking at you makes it harder
But I know that you'll find another
That doesn't always make you wanna cry
Started with a perfect kiss
Then we could feel the poison set in
Perfect couldn't keep this love alive
You know that I love you so
I love you enough to let you go
I want you to know
That it doesn't matter
Where we take this road
Someone's gotta go
And I want you to know
You couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on
So I'm already gone
I'm already gone
I'm already gone
You can't make it feel right
When you know that it's wrong
I'm already gone
Already gone
There's no moving on
So I'm already gone

If ten million fireflies.
Lit up the world as I fell asleep.
'Cause they fill the open air,
And leave teardrops everywhere.
You think me rude,
But I would just stand and stare.
I'd like to make myself believe,
That Planet Earth turns slowly.
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep,
'Cause everything is never as it seems.
'Cause I get a thousand hugs,
From ten thousand lightening bugs.
As they try to teach me how to dance,
A foxtrot above my head,
A sockhop beneath my bed.
The disco ball is just hanging by a thread.
I'd like to make myself believe,
That Planet Earth turns slowly.
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep,
'Cause everything is never as it seems when I fall asleep.
Leave my door open just a crack (please take me away from here),
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac (please take me away from here).
Why do I tire of counting sheep? (please take me away from here)
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep.
To ten million fireflies,
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes.
I got misty eyes as they said farewell,
But I know where several are.
If my dreams get real bizarre,
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar.
I'd like to make myself believe,
That Planet Earth turns slowly.
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep,
'Cause everything is never as it seems when I fall asleep.

i think that i am a much more active citizen than most of the ppl around me. if this can happen to me, it can happen to any of the apathetic ppl out there and they would have no clue about it! this has always been the reason why the govt can push for dumb policies because not many pp actually care. and the outlets provided to complain are just useless and one way! you ask your minister a qsn and he gives you a standard answer or something that you've already heard before without allowing for any sort of open debate. after reading so many parliamentary debates, i have totally lost faith in all the MPs. and there are those asswipes who suck up to the govt, from newspapers to school professors! pity..
the govt will probably say that i should be lucky to be born here. i used to think so.. the govt's propaganda worked for a while but once you get older, singing national day songs won't do anymore. except for economic prosperity, i dun see things here being any different from north korea or myanmar. its not only abt money, its abt having control over your life. to be given the right to choose. not just in elections, but also when it comes to decisions that have a direct effect on you (like my CPF and whether i want to buy insurance!).
should've known..the men-in-white are just politicians after all.

a pregnant young lady is standing in a crowded 960, visibly in discomfort by the lack of a seat in the stuffy, aircon-less bus. and yet, no one, not a single one offered her a seat. wat really stumped me was the fact that they had absolutely no feeling of guilt or any sort of emotion at their action, or rather inaction. yes, high heels are hellish at 6pm in the evening. yes, i know its insanely exhausting. but isn't that poor preganant woman feeling exactly that? and wait, add a huge mass of baby load to that. the trend seems to be that its the young people with such ugly behaviour. i tot singapore was supposed to be known as a gracious society.. gracious my foot!
and today, a fucking bastard tried to molest me in the bus. and it was like in open light since i was standing in the centre. i'm not gonna go into details at wat he tried to do but it was really sad to see that everyone was just keeping quiet doing nothing when i was in obvious disress and i could bet on anything that they quite knew what was happening.
i need to get myself a car. with my own money that is. ppl keep telling me that i'm stupid for not taking up my dad's offer. but i noe i dun deserve it. no, i'm not trying to act noble and all. but really, i dun think its that classy to depend on my parents. i wun say much since quite a number of my frens are to the contrary. but watever it is, the point remains that i need to earn money. i was just thinking about all the things that i need to spend on once i start working. and it became very miserable to think abt it anymore. sighz..
on a happy note, i started to read half blood prince again. cannot wait for the movie!:)

Once you've had a taste of perfection
Like an apple hanging from a tree
I picked the ripest one, I still got the seed
You said move on, where do I go?
I guess second best is all I will know
'Cause when I'm with him I am thinking of you
(Thinking of you, thinking of you)
Thinking of you, what you would do
If you were the one who was spending the night
(Spending the night, spending the night)
Oh, I wish that I was looking into your eyes
You're like an Indian summer in the middle of winter
Like a hard candy with a surprise center
How do I get better once I've had the best?
You said there's tons of fish in the water, so the waters I will test
He kissed my lips, I taste your mouth, oh!
(Taste your mouth)
He pulled me in, I was disgusted with myself
'Cause when I'm with him I am thinking of you
(Thinking of you, thinking of you)
Thinking of you, what you would do
If you were the one who was spending the night
(Spending the night, spending the night)
Oh, I wish that I was looking into
You're the best, and yes, I do regret
How I could let myself let you go
Now, now the lesson's learned
I touched it, I was burned
Oh, I think you should know!
'Cause when I'm with him I am thinking of you
(Thinking of you, thinking of you)
Thinking of you, what you would do
If you were the one who was spending the night
(Spending the night, spending the night)
Oh, I wish that I was looking into your, your eyes
Looking into your eyes, looking into your eyes
Oh, won't you walk through?
And bust in the door and take me away?
Oh, no more mistakes
'Cause in your eyes I'd like to stay, stay

it was deepavali yest and well, guess i din really do anything. pretty normal like just another day. just a little foul that i din get any hongbaos but other than that, i'm happy to just stay home. my dad did give me 100 bucks but think it'll just go into my bank account which is looking pretty desperate right now. other than that, i've been drowning in dramas. i'm watching 6 shows at the moment and i'm so addicted. i just hope i can restrain myself during the mugging period. gosh! self-reminder: exams in 2 weeks! AHHHH!

many people have asked me how come it is alrite to eat plants but not animals. i cannot deny that i was stumped for a moment. but i read up and can only provide an answer based on my own beliefs. Plants and animals are not the same. plants do not have the complex neural systems that animals have and therefore, they are highly unable to feel anything when they are cut. you don't see plants moving or showing any signs of stress do you? this isn't the case for animals. i so wish animals were like plants but since they aren't, i dun wanna do it.
even my parents are against me so its quite demoralising. still wan to become a full vegetarian by 25 and my progress is pretty good. hopefully i keep to it. and hopefully, more vege stalls come up!
"If you believe in the law of the jungle,that you eating weaker animals is okay,why is stronger animals eating you not okay?
Like you, even an ant clings to its life and fears death.
Like you, even an ant prefers compassion.
Like you, even an ant wants freedom"

recess is one week away and i need it so so badly..much to catch up and really wanna meet some people.. aiesec camp this weekend so dunno whether i'll even go home.. haven't seen my home in two weeks and i quite miss having aircon.. arghs..feel so overwhelmed. i dun even noe whether i should bother about all these recruitment talks or not.. i noe most of my frens dun care and frankly, i dun as well.. but i'm scared i won't get a decent job since i quite come very strongly at times and am too truthful during interviews that i totally flunk them..
to tell the truth, i just wish i could stop school and become an air stewardess and fly away to anywhere from here. there's so much stress and negativity that its totally killing my soul.. haiz, maybe i just need a break.

school's madness as usual. and i'm glad i'm staying nearer to sch now seeing that i'm coming home from school almost 11 for like 3 days a week. i'm surviving on 3 hours of sleep rite now and i dunno how long i'm gonna last.. projects projects projects plus an in class assignment that i'm doomed to fail.. and wat more to say about my highly unintelligent decision to take chinese.. i barely can comprehend anything and its just way too much stuff to memorise.. i can't afford to screw it with a GPA thats hanging in the middle of nowhere.
argh! i need a break.. oh recess, can't you come a little sooner?

i've got my interview tmr. tried to read up.. painstakingly went thru the business times that daddy had bought.. seriously, business news is so boring. its always abt share prices rising or tumbling.. and that results in all these companies either making money or screwing up.. and with all the oil price saga, the news is getting very repetitive. i wonder how i'm ever gonna survive in such a world. maybe i'll just stick to boring old auditing. ahhhs.. can't wait to get it over with.

i've been getting extremely poor these days..my tuitions have not been working out as well as i hoped and i need more students to sustain my income. damn, it sucks being broke when there's a huge sale out there! anyway, i did but more clothes!=)
met the guys today..sadly pingy had choir and xt is still away.. really random cuz ppl kept coming and leaving. plus, the food festival was quite a failure and we went to suntec for nothing..all thanks to the inadequate research done by kok.. i think i've never eaten as much as i did today for a long long time.. first we went to the chinese restaurant and suntec, followed by nydc. we then went to far east for wanton noodles and then supper at this chicken rice place and another beancurd place..can't believe i spent so much on food.. and there was this huge flying cockroach at the beancurd place! ah sheng just jumped away from the table.. and even girls weren't doing it.
need to clear some issues today.. not sure how its gonna turn out but lets just hope for the best!

The thing about love
Is i never saw it coming
It kinda crept up and took me by surprise
And now there’s a voice inside my heart that’s got me wondering
Is this true, i want to hear it one more time
Move in a little closer
Take it to a whisper
Just a little louder
Say it again for me
Cuz i love the way it feels when you are telling me that i’m
The only one who blows your mind
Say it again for me
It’s like the whole world stops to listen
When you tell me you’re in love
Say it again
Thing about you is you know just how to get me
You talk about us like there’s no end in sight
The thing about me is that i really want to let you
Open that door and walk into my life
Move in a little closer
Take it to a whisper
Just a little louder
Say it again for me
Cuz i love the way it feels when you are telling me that i’m
The only one who blows your mind
Say it again for me
It’s like the whole world stops to listen
When you tell me you’re in love
And it feels like it’s the first time
That anybody's ever brought the sun without the rain
And never in my whole life
Have I heard words as beautiful as when you say my name
Say it again for me
Cuz i love the way it feels when you are telling me that i’m
The only one who blows your mind
Say it again for me
It’s like the whole world stops to listen
When you tell me you’re in love
Say it again
When you tell me you’re in love…
Say it again
my eyes are a little but screwed up rite now.. hope i dun go blind..

plus, i dun think i'm gonna work.. its like less than 2 months and its not that easy finding a job.. which means less shopping..=<

i finally decided to plan start a prudential savings plan.. bank interest rate is ridiculous and i've gotta start making money if i wanna retire early. after my financial planner did an analysis, i realised that i actually have no expenditure.. i'm like totally living off my parents.. oops! i'm just consoling myself by saying that i indulge them with expensive stuff periodically.. but then again, maybe i seriously need to do something..
GSS is killing me.. it comes at a time when bank acc is at an all time low. darns! ok, so far, i've only spent $200 of which half was for someone else. and i still need to buy a bag, clothes, body shop stuff and maybe do my hair.. anyway, i finally saw harold and kumar that other day and man, its absolutely hilarious! i wonder why ppl say the first one's better.. i think this is better maybe cuz its more kinky.. =)
