2010 Resolution

I’m gonna keep it simple and sweet. (so that it’s achievable)

1. Do sit-ups for 6 packs (talk about making things achievable :p)

2. Save enough money to buy a home by end of 2010 (I know, nothing simple and sweet bout this too)

3. Participate in Amazing Race Asia 4!!! (if there’s gonna be one)

4. And last but not least (I guess this is the only real resolution I have for myself) is to focus. Have been losing focus lately and I think it’s time I get myself back on track.

Big cheer for 2010. I have a feeling it’s gonna be awesome

Amazing Race Asia 4

After half a year of search, I have found someone who’re willing to partner me for Amazing Race Asia and did not laugh at the idea of me joining the programme.Thanks Alex.

I know everyone thinks I’m this weak little lamb cos I’m short and small and can be a bit clumsy and am terrified of cockroaches. But I’ve always been willing to try new things and take chances cos I believe in living life to the fullest. I think Amazing Race is a great way to experience something out of the norm.

And so I’m holding Alex to his words (regardless of whether he was drunk when he agreed to it), that if Amazing Race Asia 4 comes along, we’ll audition for it and hopefully get to join the programme.

Adventure here I come!

Ps: After writing this, I decided to text Alex and reconfirm that he was not drunk.

His reply: No. Not drunk. Lets do it.

I’m so excited! Please let there be an Amazing Race Asia next year.

2009 – My personal Year in Review

Am I proud of how I lived my 2009? No

Do I regret how I lived my 2009? No

Am I glad 2009 is finally over? Oh yes

There are certain things that I never thought I’d be capable of doing. And yet, I did them. Was I trying to prove a point? Maybe.

So let’s start the emotional review.

Jan

- unhappy with everyone and made everyone unhappy in return

Feb

- Grandma passed away; felt guilty and upset that there was a lot of things that I wanted to do for her which I have not done.

March – May

- starting to feel unhappy about work and mild depression starts

- got my first tattoo. finally.

June

- Started hiking and loving it

July

- Took dance lessons and loved it.

August

- Moved to KL without a job and a place to live; humbled that I have such good friends who took me in in times of need.

September

- Started a new career path and found a perfect room to stay in. Happiness beyond words

October – November

- Stressed but happy

December

- Bittersweet moments

I think 2009 is ending in a nice note. I said nice, not great. I think great-ness will come in 2010. *fingers crossed*

Christmas

I think this is the first year I’ve ever truly celebrated Christmas (sort of). This year I bought some gifts and received some gifts. This year I was at our office Christmas party as well as a colleague’s Boxing Day party.

However, there wasn’t a lot of Christmas feel during Christmas Eve’s countdown. KL felt so dead that night. Traffic was a breeze from Bangsar to town. I went to Changkat with my colleague and his cousin and we felt bored. The countdown was crap cos the DJ did not count it down with the crowd. Suddenly I heard a lot of clapping and whistling, so I took out my phone to check the time and it was 12:02am.

We got so bored at Changkat we left for Zeta bar instead. Thank god the crowd was more lively there. Too bad there weren’t a lot of beautiful people around, but the band was fun, the songs were good so Mei Ying is happy But still, no Christmas feel. It was just another night out.

Boxing Day party at my colleague’s is much more fun though. Was only told on Christmas night that I should get some presents for Boxing Day party so we went shopping for presents early 26th morning. And there are STILL people buying presents and having them wrapped. Especially at toys’r'us lol.

It was fun though. The feeling when you finally bought the present is great! (It was hellish when you’re thinking what to buy and aimlessly walking around)

Maybe next year I’ll organise a Christmas party for me and friends

Streaks of Luck

You know I think the reason you always hear ‘a streak of good luck’ or ‘a streak of bad luck’ it’s cause they do always come in streaks. There is rarely a singular good/bad luck but there’s always a streak.

Example. I felt as if I will be down with a cold this afternoon. I took some flu medicine and hope that it’ll go away. It didn’t. I wanted some comfort food so I went to tapao from my favourite chap fan stall. It’s not open. Bought chicken rice from the next stall instead. It’s not nice. When I got home, I almost crushed myself cause I accidentally pressed the auto-gate button as I was walking in. And now, my Grey Anatomy’s CD won’t play. Oh and the speakers in my car is no longer working since last night. See. Streaks! Urgh!

Death

It’s one of those times when you wonder what will happen when you die. When will you die. And what happens if the person you love the most die before you.

I can be pretty selfish. I wish that I will die first so I would not have to suffer through the pain of losing someone.

I also wonder if I will ever find someone who’s world will fall apart if I am no longer living in it.

It’s just one of those times.

Hit after Hit

Here I am on my bed at 12:19 am when I’m supposed to be somewhere else. Why am I not somewhere else? Because shit happens. And shit happens to me.

I don’t want to sound grumpy but it’s getting annoying. All these things just crept up one after another. And when you think something is over and you can finally relax again, another pile of smelly shit got thrown at your face.

Sigh. Throw me some roses can or not? (And don’t try to be funny and throw me the ones with thorns)

Dirty Laundry

Over a fab Korean dinner, my friend asked me “Does your landlady let you wash ur undies in the washing machine?”

I shot her a what’s-wrong-with-you look and said “of course la! why?!”

Apparently a lot of homes do not allow ladies’ undies to be washed in the washing machine.

Reason: suei (bad luck) especially if the men in the family runs a business.

I gave her a bewildered look.

She said according to ‘people’, ladies’ undies are dirty and suei cos they get period.

WTF?! The continuation of the human race depended on us getting our period ok. If you think our undies are dirty cos we get period (and duh, there’s something call pad and tampons, the blood don’t get on the undies u dumbass) then don’t fuck us la. Suei what. The blood goes through there in case you didn’t notice.

Coming to an end

I can’t believe it’s December. So much has happened this year and it has been such a rollercoaster ride that I’m actually quite relieved 2009 is almost over and done with.

First half of the year passed by so painfully slow, but the second half sort of whizzed past without me realising.

It has definitely been an eventful year where I’ve experienced total freedom and done some crazy things I would not have done before. I even went on a blind date!

I’m glad I went through the rough times. This year I’ve learned who my true friends are. I know who I can count on and turn to in times of need.

I learn to appreciate my parents and am thankful that they find it in their heart to forgive me for my past mistakes.

I also became stronger. Emotionally and physically. (I’ve gained weight, so naturally physically stronger)

I learn (and still am learning) to disregard what other people think and just do what I feel is right regardless of the consequences because let’s face it, if I were to die in 2012, then it doesn’t really matter what I do now right? And if I DON’T die in 2012, then I’ll figure out how to clean up the mess I made.

I can’t wait for 2010. Fresh new start. I’ll have to prepare a new resolution list. *Rubs hands* Can’t wait! 

New Moon

Thought I’d write down my thoughts on the movie.

I did not catch the first one, so when I got the free screening from Project 500 I was planning to skip it and maybe go watch A Christmas Carol or something. But then again since everyone was there, and it’s free anyways and @aprilyim seems excited enough to see it (cos Robert Something-son was soooooo cute!) I figured I might as well see what the fuss is about. Cos u gotta admit, there has been a LOT of fuss surrounding this vampire thingy.

@aprilyim gave me some scoops on the first movie so that I’m not too lost. So vampire fell in love with human and vice versa. Not really something new I would say. Then suddenly there’s werewolves. Well, not something new either. But then the vampires are different. They don’t drink human blood. But they’re tempted sometimes. Then the werewolves protect this particular group of vampires. Cos they’re different. They’re ‘vegan’.

I think for someone who’s so in love with each other, the lead actor and actress seems to be always carrying this pained look. Even when they’re together. What’s up with that la? Makes your pretty little face look not so pretty ok?

Then suddenly the werewolf took his shirt off in one of the scenes. And you can hear murmur run through the cinema and we burst out laughing ;p 6 packs!!! So hot!

There were so many corny lines that I can’t help but laugh throughout the movie. How in love he is with her in his 100-odd years. Seriously… I honestly do not believe that he has not been in love before in the previous 100-odd years. BS! When he thought she’s dead, he went to on a suicide mission. So no girlfriend before this is worth dying but this little chiku somehow is worth it. Yeah right.

And then nearing the end, there was a part where one of the vampires was seeing the future.. they had this scene where the lead actor and actress are running through the forest. Slow motion! Again, everyone burst out laughing. They had to inject some bollywood in it too. Sigh.

Project 500 knowing that most of us who are attending are mostly 20-odd to 30-odd years old should have chosen a different movie.

Had a fun laugh though. Super damn freaking dramatic.

Ps: ending SUCKS! definite WTF moment!
