Finally, after much exploration of iphone's ringtone and its many applications, here i am, the very last day of 2008, i decided, by hook or by crook, I need to set resolutions for the coming year:

1. Complete TFL by April. Start a savings plan after it.

2. Remove all unneccessary stuffs in my horribly messy room and stay organized.

3. Improve my japanese language, continue taking intermediate and JLPT.

4. Complete driving. Explore diving & another type of dance.

5. Visit islands and places i never been before.

6. Replace T300 which was lost in Mustafa.

7. Treat people better. Rem to go for blood donation.

8. Reduce PMS, idealism and expectations. Allow more grey areas in life & be more receptive to changes.

9. Work hard for promotion & earn more money.

10. Stay fit and healthy. Regular swimming & skipping.

Life will evolve in the perfect ways for me :)

I thought I should sit down, relook and conclude the year that's going to pass in few days' time. Cant really remember what actually happened so i went to look at all the photos in my 2008 folder. It seemed to be a rather quiet year. Some highlights of the year:

1. Ko Samed in Jan (fireworks & bikes)

2. Anteprima fashion show at Singapore Fashion Festival in May (wow, so near to the runway)

3. Chek Jawa in May (to the nature we went. although tiring, cycling in pulau ubin downslope was fun!)

4. Business trips to KL (dwelling in loneliness for a few days but touched by e sms-es from my dear ones. Hee.)

5. Using wheelchair in a club & sending a soon-not-to-be bachelorette to the hospital after much drinking. - this is somewhat hilarious but a super memorable hen night for the bride-to-be.

6. Developing wedding ppt, in love w ppt now.

7. Replaced my pickpocketed T100 with T300. Loving black still.

8. Paintball in Orchid Country Club that got me bruises that still can be seen now.

9. Participating in Carvivor organized by power98 - gilaz & guluz

10. Night Safari! - a true blue mountain turtle. Lol. Wolves!

11. Kelong Acheh in August for a 2 day 1 night getaway. (fishing can be quite fun too!)

12. Many baby showers diz year - feel so broke but happy to see newborns

13. Japan trip in October - Japan is a super civilized country, love their personal care pdts

14. Halloween - couldnt get into zouk & went to eat noodle at blk 85 instead. A geisha wannabe.

15. Gift exchange w my uni frenz! - first time after 7 years....

16. Back to Zoukout. - see the many pple & getting hugs!

17. Passed my Jap! Failed my driving... boohoo

diz 365 days changed attitudes, group dynamics, ideals and behaviours. Trust built. Trust deteriorated. Inevitable changes. Leaving only a few more days for resolutions...

I had been thinking and thinking. I questioned myself. Was I being over-sensitive or was there something brewing? Were you judging me unconsciously? Another case of "so near, yet so far"? Many thoughts went through my mind. The more I thought of it, the more upset I became. I will learn to count my blessings.
