as always, new year would always mean new resolutions and a new start to everything. 2008 was a pretty sappy year for everyone around me. with all the ups and downs my friends went through, its pretty disheartening at times when they get all upset and all you can do is nothing. ive no idea how my 2009 would turn out to be but i'll try my very best to make it a hella good one. 'cause at the end of the day, we only have one 2009 in our life, dont we?

i saw through 2008 as a happy and sad person with a few tiny thunderstorms but what's most important is i learnt from my mistake and moved on happily. since i have to lead my life, why wouldnt i lead a happy one? thats pretty much the reason why im seldom grumpy.

nothing beats you loving yourself and treating yourself with the utmost respect. if you dont love yourself, who will? everything starts from individual before a special someone appears in front of you unknowingly and shower you with his/her love.
loving yourself isnt being self centered. loving yourself is respecting yourself.

alrighty, if i were to continue, this entry's gonna get all serious.

anyways, recap of my 2007 and 2008 new year resolutions!

MY 2007 RESOLUTIONS

1) to get prettier
2) to have flawless skin (LIKE TOFU) HAHAHA!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

how was your christmas eve? mine was awesome beyond words. peishan, shirlyn, simin, xuansheng, choonngee, weixiang and john came over my place for potluck dinner. we had beehoon, indian rojak, chicken wings, mushroom soup, nuggets and chocolate fondue. hahaha i know the types of food are pretty non-christmas-ish feel but it was hell good.

had gift exchange afters which made us nutcase. we had all the funny gifts and shirlyn's was the most 'amazing' of them all. HAHAHA.

lil' nyonya-ed with chocolate fondue. awesome.

mahjonged till the wee hours and thank god i had germaine, if not i would have lost till... ive no idea how. HAHAHA. and yay! JUNHAO AND FERYNN POPPED BY! im really sorry i wasnt able to entertain you guys last night 'cause of mahjong. anyhow, you guys know i love the both of you! (:

ALRIGHT, I NEED TO NAP ALIL' MORE BEFORE WAKING UP TO PREPARE FOR LATER!

HAVE AN AWESOME CHRISTMAS. IM DEFINITELY SURE MINE WILL BE A HELLA GOOD ONE SO YOU HAVE A HELLA GOOD ONE TOO. (:

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE!

had a mini xmas celebration with winnie and friends and man, it was hella mad and fun!

tmr will be xmas party over at my place! woooohooooo! was suppose to be a family affair but one of my aunts cant make it for the family gathering on xmas eve. soooooo, i held my own potluck xmas party with peishan and friends!

IM DAMN EXCITED!!

*EDIT*

DAMN HIGH DAMN HIGH!!!!!! IM GOING TO FETCH PEISHAN AND SHIRLYN OVER TO MY PLACE LATER FOR THE PARTY. DRIVE DRIVE DRIVE. WOOOOOOOOOOOT!!! LETS HOPE I CAN PARK INTO THE CAR LOT SAFELY!!!!!

rested at home the whole day and was catching up with the little nyonya episodes i missed when i was over at taiwan. i thought of a few things too. definitely not about the past. just some things that might throw me back into the vicious cycle again if im not careful. and i promise i'll be less gullible. for now, im pretty positive about what i thought. read it once and if you get it, you're having telepathy with me. ;) if you dont, its alright. its nothing important though.

anyway, went out with mummy to get dinner for my dad, aunties, uncles and granny 'cause they were busying mahjong-ing. yesssss, i drove out to the expressway, finally. it wasnt as bad as i thought it would be but... i reckon i need to practice a few more times before chisuen's back to singapore 'cause im driving the cupcakes over to the airport to fetch him. all lives are in my hands. muuahahaha. and im finally able to park the car into the lot. :D

alrighty, im. feeling. damn. sick. now. i. could. faint. on. the. bed. anytime.
gdnight to you. (:

just a very short update of my life.

wednesday was home stay the whole day 'cause i was pretty exhausted from all the parties and staying out the whole day. its nice to be home, resting and relaxing.

thursday was partying over at dblo. cn and i got pretty wasted that night. i promised myself that will be my first and last time getting that wasted. tsk tsk, all my image, gone.

friday was shopping with jocelyn. went bugis, citihall and town and home sweet home 'cause we were too worn out from partying the night before.

today was spent at home again. im too tired and lazy to get myself out of the house. hahaha. my bed's luring me towards it and im falling for its tempt soon.
