A Whiter Shade of Pale

It's the last day of the Y2k decade. 10 years ago in 1999, everyone was freaking out over the Y2k bug and then it was actually nothing news-worthy. 10 years on, I'm 10 years older, hopefully wiser too and I've outgrown my school uniforms since too.

I woke up this morning, groggy in bed feeling my little brain stuffed with all the pleasant memories of this year. It's been an amazing year, honestly. Even if it was filled with countless emotional peaks & valleys, but the fact that I woke up happy & cheery was a huge indicator that I'm really blessed this year. It's not just the doing of my selective memory, honest! I have so much to give thanks for and so many things to reflect upon.

Most importantly, I want to thank the people for being in my life - the faraway dweeb, the awesome girlfriends, the fabulous friends, my favourite uni mates, other mates from other (faraway & near) places & times, even strangers who are my friends on FB, last & not least my annoying family. Thanks for tolerating all my nonsense, my whinings & occasional mood swings all this while. I don't want to take your friendship and company for granted, so believe me when i say this from the bottom of my heart that you are truly well appreciated.

So in the new year, I wish everybody success in your future endeavours. I can only hope that the new year is going to be even more bombastic than the previous one. Here's a toast to all of us and to spastic vocabulary! NYE is definitely gonna be BOOMZ. ;) And may your new year be Supa Shingzzz!

I only wanted to be wonderful and wonderful is true.
In truth I only really wanted to be wanted by you.

Christmas day is over and I'm still bleary-eyed from not having enough sleep last night.

Christmas was alright I suppose, it's not as if I had any grand expectations from it. My family and friends do not celebrate Christmas religiously, it's only an excuse for my friends to eat more, drink more & be merry. On a side note, I just got a late reminder for myself - It's very annoying to host a party when you're staying with your family, all that guilt involved when the house gets messy and then trashed eventually. So I will avoid that for a while from now on. Oh crap, in fact school is starting in a week's time.

December has been eventful? Mostly having fun & catching up with friends in between working. Haven't been good on the TEFL & Japanese assignments. Oh what in the world are driving lessons? No clue at all. Urgh, the idea of heading back to school is rather daunting. Lots of pressure to do unbelievably well to boost my pathetic GPA and still find time to learn more Japanese, and enjoy the last undergrad semester of my life! Oh i will miss being a student dearly, not because i love smu to death, but because I appreciate the flexible timetable I have as a uni student. I would love to be an English uni student again. They have the BEST uni life. haha.


Oh well... December is a month which brings back way too many memories. All that snowfall weather warnings and gorgeous winter wonderland photos only add to my sense of longing! It's just so hard when I want to be there so badly but I'm not. Sometimes I still wonder about the what-ifs and would-haves in the last couple of weeks, if i had not cancelled my air ticket. At least I have a Christmas card, a CD & a Heroes V of the might & magic (Gold edition) from J - haha he's such an ADORABLE dweeb. Thank you. x
