Happy New Year! May this year will be more satisfying and fruitful than 2008, at least to me. Again, my new year resolution is set, one of which is to set aside more time for the one i loved. I am aware of my stand and will definitely work hard towards it. Like i mentioned, i like things to be simple now, at least for the whole of 2009. =)

Unlike others who reflect on what they had done this year and if their targets were achieved. I will like to express my gratitude to some of my loved ones, my family, relatives and friends.

My family, who will always stand by me and being supportive of those big decisions i had made this year. Though i do throw tantrums, i still feel the love from everyone of you. And many many more things that each and everyone of you had done for me are recognised. Seriously, the appreciation that i had towards them are beyond description. I'm happy to say "i love you" to every single one of them. =)

My cousins every Saturday is a joy to hang out with you all! Occupying the seats in the room, watching our favourite show, having dinner together and the many funny stuffs we had done this whole year was simply awesome! Many birthday celebrations in this 2008 as a big family, i like.

Shumei, i could not find any ideal picture to post cause i believe majority of our pictures were candid! You are the best ever, and you know those little things that we had done, no matter jokes, serious talks, dates, exercising together, whining together, helping each of us to become stronger and cranky messages from you now and then that brighten my day brought us even closer. Only you understand my frequency. =)

Jess, different school different schedule different lifestyle different ways of handling situation, we still have the chemistry which i am cherishing. We still can find time to meet up! haha. Also, our first marathon together and finishing it together. Just like our friendship, we will still carry on for years and years which i believe we can, with no endings.

'03 to '06' volleyball mates, at least we get to meet up during june and it has been half a year since we met up, so coming 2009, let's meet up again! Seriously, i missed every one of you all! Eileen!!! I didn't see you even at Sentosa! It's close to a year for your case! hahaa.

HuiJia, Niki, XingYi, Shirline and Teri!!! You girls simply are part of my wonderful memories from the start of our poly life. Though we are in the same school, our different timetable really makes it hard for me to see everyone of you, ESPECIALLY TERI! haha. Swim back to us! If we are to plan for an outing, JOIN US! The hugs from you all are comforting and those listening ears and thoughtful advices are precious to me. Fabulous group! Lingfeng, GuanFong, Leonard and Yonglun, thanks for accepting for who i am and willing to accomodate with my at times eccentric behaviour. Each meet up with single one of you is always a joyous thing to me and i treasure it. I trust you all to share with you guys my stuff and i am sure i have you all to lean on when i need it. =) LOVES!

Now, it is all about more photocopying and more researching and more time spent in the library to do projects. Definitely, it will be a hetic month ahead. However, i'm still enjoying what i am doing now. I prefer things to be simple like now. =)

The website Shumei introduced me was so much fun, karaoke party. My sister and i had derived joy from it. haha.

Inline skating with my siblings and Eric at the late afternoon. There was a huge gap in my siblings learning abilities. haha. My brother was a fast learner and he managed to skate after he was able to balance himself. My sister was just the opposite. I had my fun time skating today. The feel was so fantastic compared to previous tries at East Coast.

I am certain. I am sure. I am confident.

Just the two of us, my mother and i, we went shopping together. I'm satisfied after eating banana split. haha! My craving for ice cream was so strong that i urged my mother to eat it with me after lunch. Met up with Jess in the evening to pass her her christmas gift and also meeting her before our school starts on Monday. How great to be able to see her again and i'm truly amazed we can just talk for a few hours just over a cup of coffee. =) Awesome! Coach greeted me with "OI" on MSN. haha. I did enjoy the chat with her and also the thoughts she had. She will be returning back soon. How great.

It has been a joyous week, preparing christmas gift and distributing them. In total, i'd prepared three different types of gifts on each day. I was satisfied when my friends like the present given to them. haha. In return, i'd received christmas present from some of them too. Sweet. Though most of the meetups with my friends were short-lived, it was still lovely to meet up with them and i like it! Friends that i may not have the time to meet, i had sent you my wishes too. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Tuesday, I headed to school with HweeShan and passed her the gift. After FOI project meeting. Zuan and i went to meet Matilda and i'm off to meet up with Huimin for lunch at Pastamania. A splendid lunch with her talking about our past. How dumb we actually were years back. haha. After that, i'm off to meet Lingfeng to pass her her gift and then Leonard and WeiLiang soon came along. GuanFong was the next person i went to look in the evening. The hours of mixing and messing around in the kitchen were fun! Unexpectedly, i reached home close to midnight.
Wednesday, Christmas eve, Niki came to meet me after my lesson. She can really shop even when she was hungry. haha. Gifts exchanged and HuiJia came over to find us without Leon. Leon missed the chance in meeting us. That's sad. So after that, Niki and i went to the foodcourt for her lunch and i'm off to meet up with Xingyi. A few minutes of meet up was great too. Have a safe trip! As for the rest of the day, i was at Holland Village with ShuMei. Nothing much to explore and we just sat down to eat and chatted from friendships to lifes to the discussion of our business plan. Also, a lot of hilarious incident happened when i'm with her. Like always. haha. On the way there, taking pictures and on our way back. Especially, "Ichi Ni San" and how she embarrassed herself on the train. haha! Last stop to Tampines Mall in search of more gifts and i saw elaine over there. =)
Today, Chritmas day itself. Leonard's so called "loyal and brave" friend who is me accompanied him in the morning and then Changi Airport for lunch. I'm super glad that i saw Angel today. I was pretty happy when i saw him. Lovely Christmas spent with family. I'm glad my family liked the gifts i bought for them. It was a wonderful Christmas day as a whole!

My wonderful gifts from HuiMin(i'd eaten her cookies), Niki, TH, TN, Lingfeng and Leonard.

I like the breeze when i cycled this evening.

Yesterday was rather a cosy way of celebrating my mother's birthday. We had joy. Lovely dinner and unexpected updates session. It was hilarious during cake cutting time. Just by seeing how my parents were so enthusiatic in taking photos and the funny poses they had done were enough to make my toes wriggle. haha.
My father bought a phone for me today. =)

Now, i don't expect much for christmas. I have decided on one thing and i do hope it will come true.

I was all drained out after swimming in the evening with my sister. To me, swimming is really more exhausting than jogging because i cannot complete one lap at a go. haha. We shopped at Tampines mall and purchase a pair of shoes as a gift for our mother.

On our way back, we happened to pass by two guys sitting by the station doing spray paint. Just by spraying different colours of paint onto a cardboard and some editing to it, the outcome was extremely gorgeous. I like. Personally, I do not have any talent in drawing. But I do enjoy sketching. However, the comments or even expressions from others do discourage me when they view my drawings. Oh well.

It's time to work on my projects tomorrow. haha.

A quick update with plenty of pictures. Monday was a gathering of some of the 1B02 classmates and zhengyao to celebrate Huijia's belated birthday. I'd enjoyed because of the right company. Celebration was awesomely interesting with the fake bread to trick huijia initially before the actual cake being presented to huijia. No doubt, silly huijia was tricked by Brandon. We dined at Marche before heading to st james to chill. Overall, i had a fantastic night with them! The two photographers of the day. =) Most of the photos were from Niki and Shirline! =) Pictures from Niki since i had received it from her.
