got this from hailin's blog
think it is so funny!!!!!

learn to grow up

i turned 20. no more immaturity.... NOT.... immaturity is how a person deals with himself by being young at heart. no matter how old you are, there is always something that is calling you back to the childish and undisciplined ways you used to live your life. that is maybe the explanation why the guys like nic and joseph are always so immature and sometimes cant carry out a straight conversation.

i have to admit that sometimes i laspe back to those days.

turning 19 last year felt like nothing have happened (as blogged before), but turning 20 has made me feel... well... OLD! i donno why, but it has this totally different feeling. on the outlook you look the same two years ago, minus the long hair, but yet deep down you feel a sense of displacement. maybe it is that idea that you are no longer a teenager. all the problem times you gave your parents must come to a stop.

maybe having the BIG 2 in front symblises real independence? things seems slightly different now. it feels like there are more "i" to everything you do now. "i" being what you are responsible for. "i" being everything else in the world. "i" being your future.

maybe that is what it feels to really grow up.

i have been thinking the whole day with random thoughts going through my mind.
what if i was brought up in a different household?
what if my parents were less rich?
what if i had gone poly?
what if i was never borned?
what if i got married?
what if i died tomorrow?

sometimes i think being older makes you think more bout everything. i love who i am now although i make complaints time and time again bout being broke or being fat or being stupid. but i really dont mean it in the long term. just the short term of that moment. and that moment comes very often.

i really love my life. i have both my parents, i have siblings, i have friends, i have a house, i have a car, i have a dog, i have an education, i have enough money to get me by, i have love.

God is nice to me.

DAY ZERO

on a more un-reflective tone. this is the second time i remembered that my birthday fell on the chinese new year holiday. this is what i call a real birthday dinner where there are bout 10 dishes. i know... it falls on renion dinner. but at least people in my family gives me more angpaos. i love money.

this years is at my place. the last time we had it here was when i had chicken pox.

that is why i say... this year is going to be a good year.

this is our lao yu. with salmon...

half the dinner spread...

my family. that includes my dog and my maid. i think this is going to be my last year celebrating my birthday with auntie zen. she has seen all my last 15 birthday cakes

ahhhh!!!!!!!!!!!! the stupid cake. the cake shop make me one year older. and the cake shop guy congrated me for being to celebrate my first offical RA year. crazy... he got the damn age wrong. in the end we but a tart over the "1st" just to make sure no one sees the 1 and made it a zero.

10 major milestones of the last Chinese calander:

1) i worked my butts off for 4 months (January - april)
legs actually. Had to stand the whole day at CPF. Learned a lot of things during this period like Chinese and dialects and many CPF matters. And developed a uncommonly tolerance to many things like irritating old people and chauvinistic males.

Earned a lot, but spent twice more then what received in bank. Turn broke.
as harassed by guy.

2) no more uniforms and crappy MOE exams (febuary)
a big bye bye to the Alevels and welcome harder uni life. Everything ended when I laid my hands on the ever so wonderful piece of paper which had an ABB on it. i am smart. smart enough to get into NUS rather than having the last resort of migrating to australia.

But is spells a start to a new phase of your life and a whole new bunch of friends. No more uniforms. No more irritating dms running after your skirt (literally). MS K CAN GO DIE!!!! No more nagging. No more restrictions. no more 8-3 timetables.

Freedom…

3) survived the last CNY (febuary)
the best CNY I ever had since I was 5. CNY has becomed a yearly event I just strive to show my face, eat and run away for the next year. Last CNY have set a pattern in my not-to-be-bothered lifestyle. I don’t care bout no angpaos. As long as I am not in their presence too long.

Plus I can drive this year.

4) got the little green card with my photo (may)
after like 5 months of dragging myself to the driving sch and 1500 bucks. I finally is a qualified driver. Not to mention that I strived through the clutch and the hand breaks for so long on slopes and irritating S-curves and cranks.

Plus the incredible result of 4 demerit points only with no accident on my first try. I din kill anyone sitting in my car yet… mayb mount a curb or two but nothing scrapped.

5) kissed Melbourne myself (may)
my first official travel milestone in my life. To settle everything from air tics to accommodation to where to go all by myself. solo travel and meeting lynette on the way. shiok!!!! really something new and very interesting. what is better then to be able to feel that rush of goodness through you when you know that you are independent enough to not get raped and lost in 24 hours.

Winter is something that I love. If only Australia has snow. But it was really fun walking around in 6 degrees freezing wind. i miss those times i had to stare into gardens and over the oceans and over the head of the koalas.

6) i moved out into hall (augest)
moved out of mommy's roof (aka lions cage). freedom in large expenses. learn to take care of myself. meet lots of new people. know janelle better. year long chalet. with my very own room. no more nagging everyday. no more having to listen to louis talking back. no more everything homely

have fun
have a life.

7) i gained 3kg and a spare tire (augest- XXX)
the lack of tennis in the whole year plus the amount of supper. this is no jokin matter. but somehow still not very bothered bout my weight, just the tummy is an eyesore. but i dont have anyone to complain bout it.

eat. sleep. raid. eat. talk. eat. eat. eat more.
get fat.

8) travel to malaysia (december)
only that this is done with friends. eat and gain a few more pounds. 4 days of food and mahjong. plus one day in JB.

9) IHG (december- january)
another time to meet more people and play sports. but somehow not loosing the tire from previous months. hail tennis, table tennis and handball.

10) cut off my 3 year long hair (january)
all gone in the matter of an hour. no regrets but do miss my rubber bands. they all say i look better in short hair. dont know how true. but most likely going to keep hair this lenght for another year before i think of what i should do with it.

mayb i should get an afro.

100) I TURN 20!!!
shanny is no longer a small girl... finally have to live with the big 2 in from of her age. a new point of her life. no more a teenager!!!

only the first week of rain

i cant take it anymore... university life is one big pile of shit and a truck load of stress. it is only the first week of tutorials and i am already piled up with more readings then i can read and more assignments i can do. why cant it be like the first semester where everything was still slow and steadyly progressing rather then everything dropping on you at the same time.

i have not done my pop reading for last monday's tut
i have not done my social life reading for coming fri tut
i have not done my tutorial for social life coming fri tut
(involves time-space model, like what the hell is that???)
i have not done my lab report which is due on 2nd
(far away buy remember CNY!!!)
i have not done my general bio assignment due donno when
i have not understood a word of psychology
i have not done my QET tut
(which is bloody twice a week)

my life is in a mess. tmr is going to be a busy night for me and everything seems to be due on fri... it seems like all the tutors want to get things done before CNY. they are all crazy....

i end lessons at 6
handball at 6.30
HDCA at 9
block supper at 10
CG at 11+
dead at 12
buried at 1
in heaven at 2

my life really sucks. whoever who said univeristy rocks should just go and eat her words. uni life is totally no fun.

finally... my tennis photos uploaded

that video that should not be shown to the world

they made a horrible video of me and the most embarresing event that can ever happen in my life in KR. the day i went mad on courts they had to catch that on tape and show it to the rest of the hall. the finale of all the tennis matches so far.... they had to show me dancing on courts in that horrendous manner. sick...

i actually danced for the whole entire KR to watch on some 40 inch screen projection screen. it wasnt even counted as a dance but this horrible movement that brought me to fame.

my reputation is at stake.

i am sure that there are many people in hall that already know that i dont have a screw in my head most of the time, but this beautiful video is the video production people blatently broadcasting my horrors to the rest of all the 300 people who dont know me at all. where am i to put my face????

yaozhong was askin me if i was from SA tennis team.... it feels like he had seen that horribly unflattering clip of me and wanted to comfirm and make sure that his eyes were not playing tricks on him.

jingxian says that that moment look like the scene in memoirs of a geisha when sayuri was dancing on stage like a mad woman. the tennis team seems to be constantly bring up my moment of madness. not that i mind... in fact i find it every self entertaining... everytime they mention it it feels like it is getting more obvious that everyone thinks that i am MAD!!!!!!

just to make it clear that shanny must be a happy person on court or else she cant play well.... you must not be alarmed if you find shanny shreaking at the top of her voice in the middle of a game. or even when she starts to mumble to herself during a match. or even when she starts messing up her hair and look like a monkey seaching for bugs on her own head.

it's all normal

i'm a naughty girl
got this from olea blog

how come those times never came????

was just reading all the blogs i have on my links and then i came accross the sajc tennis team members like georgina and elsy and people. then reading their blogs made me feel that i am missin something in my life.

it is so nice to find that the tennis team is happy and they became happier since i left SA. why is it that i am always missing the fun in the team??? all the guys and the girls seem like such a close knit group it pains my heart to know that i am not part of that fun and family.

looking back at all the juniors make me feel very old now. xianqiang, kenneth, georgina, tina, yuhui, jo, elsy, winnie. they manage to get 4th when i left. mayb i am the jinx. but then again... why do i always miss out all the fun that they seem to have.

quoted from elsy blog "we are more then teammates" OUCH....

after the grannies supper

look.. hat hair... so ugly.... joseph want to leave his hair long. i just wonder how long can he take it before he chops it all off... but his hair now is so flat and so ugly

i cant even see myself... eyes too small.

my short hair... me and lynn again as usual. my hair is red but i wonder why you cant see it in thee pic... bad lighting...

UGLY... no argument.

all of us and the "panadol" picture... hehe... it is as usual the six of us and all our supper meals. my hair is so BIG!!!!

my dog died

after 20 years together with my dearest RUFF his legs finally gave way while he was bathing in the washing machine. he came out very clean but without legs. all his fluff came out from his legs... my poor dog.

ruff was given to me when i was a very small baby. it is the only soft toy i have kept since those times and i guess when he is old, he has to go. poor dog. to think that i was the one who gave him his name. dont you think that Ruff is such a cute name? he is my little blue dog i used to hug to sleep every night till i reached secondary school. then he was the dog i talked to and stroked his cotton fur since then till now.



me and jo just going crazy....

malaysians teaching PRCs how to walk the japanese way



yup.. shuying was right...

the book is so much nicer. and if you din't read the book then you most prob will have question marks flying all over your head while watching the movie. poor movie is a 2 hours rush of 500 pages. not that i like i am a horny idiot (proven by VERY hairy legs and hands) but what happened to all the sex scenes???!!!??? i want to see some boobies!!! (haha)

geisha = sex man!!!!

gong li is so really pretty in the movie. and also such a bitch. actually i thought that hatsumomo was to be more of a bitch then gong li was. but i totally think that gongli should play lead rather then zhangziyi. zhangziyi posture was wayyy too straight the entire movie. i wonder if she suffered from all the back ache while filming. and half the time she had this BIG BUN of hair on her head. makes her look stupid.

such a pity that people in that era had to wear cha sao paos on their head. and sleep with it.

anyway... i love all the kimonos!!!!! all the pretty clothes that geishas get to wear day in and day out. all the clothes that our dear hatsumomo got to wear were all so elegant!!! the red one was nice. the purple one was nice. and talk bout all the silk your heart desires.

and hello??? the set was so damn pretty. talk bout recreating the post war set in such beautiful details. and hello??? did you see the gardens??!!??? they were so gorgeous and sexy i just want to climb into the screen and lie there in the middle on my back.



gong li is so good in all her accents. japanese english???? she can go cuban accented too. and british accented english... i wish i could talk like that...

i love it when you get to watch the downloads instead of spending 8 bucks at the movies. seriously... GV should just lower the price of tickets so that people will rather watch it in the theathers then at home. having 8 buck tickets just makes people download more.

5 things i will do if i were a geisha

1. Get rid of that white face and red lips
i think it looks hideous. why not try out pink face and blue lips or something???? what is the point of spending so much time in front of the mirror with ten different brushes lined up in front of you??? and they will look like ghost in the middle of the night. who wants to be serviced by some ghost. in those time lighting was bad. just surprised that the upper class men din die of heart attack.

2. redue the number of layers of clothes worn
think of it this way... it may be cold in japan but here in singapore is so bloody hot i think half a layer is more then enuf. you just have to pick the most pretty layer. and what more is the convenience to the guys of havin a shorter time to remove all the clothes.

3. scrap the music and dance segment
come on... you have to admit that it sounds like scrapping sandpaper on a wooden board. and the dance with the fans just look so stupid. what if you swing that fan into some one's face and cause that person to have to need plastic surgery?

4. those shoes should be replaced with slippers
what is the point of the shoes if you cant walk in it at all??? slippers are more pratical... the only thing that pair of shoes are good for is during a flood. and they look so terrible... cant they at least have more nicer looking shoes??? i think even clogs look better with kimonos

5. screw all the clients

DO YOU SMELL THAT VICTORY???
that smell is HISTORY!!!

KR TENNIS GIRLS GOT INTO THE FINALS AND IT IS THE FIRST IN KR IHG HISTORY

today marks an important day in KR IHG HISTORY.... our dearest tennis team has gotten into the finals. WE CREATED HISTORY that is either first or second for us. it is all up to TH and our mavelous lineup.

must remember to put lineup totaly opposite from what rags says.

but really.. got a winner of 4-1 with shears. even though lineup still sucks. the team is made up of fun people with hearts of gold and strokes of diamonds. i have no idea what i am talking bout.

anyway... bottom line is that we won our 24 hour match and gotten into the finals. finally manage to kiss at least the silver for once in my tennis career since donno when.

WE WILL DO IT.... YO PEOPLE.... LETS MAKE IT A GOLD

even when the rain shines, it still pours the lineup

can buy 4D already.

and strike...

why is it that the opponents line up that we really dont want come up twice in two games even after like 600 hours of discussion all squashed up in hailin's room???? our "perfect" line up aways seem funny in the end coz certain halls are simply so "smart" enough to place the right people out at the right time? poor veena must think that she has bad fengshui

for the past few meetings we have been talking and talking bout the possibility of lineup and we end up involving math in. shanny hate maths and when shanny talks math there is seriousy something very wrong with everything. with all the phone calls and a very funny "anna, maria and venus" story, rags and hailin's beautifully hilarious discussions and debates of the "A*" lineup and we end up playing 2.5 hours into the rain.

last night match was scary.

and the rain made it last longer. past 24 hours.

we just have to win three games. and guess what? if i have to play then it is pressure lvl 9000. can use pressure to cook stewed beef. third singles is not a very nice place to be. i finally know how it feels. and guess what??? we are stll at first singles and first doubles. will take another 3 hours before i get to pick up my racquet.

was watching anu's match.... ping and pong so long i was so getting affected by the pace. i cannot stand that pace at all. will just kill my strokes. to the extent that when it came to mid of second set i had to take a break. i need to hear some pop music and better still if it is techno. but there was no radio to be found in the middle of src. end up havin to sleep it off somewhere off at the track shelter. was feeling better till i felt tiny drops of water on my face.

damn it.

now i have to stress another 24 hours before i play.

anu failed her driving test... so i pray so very hard that it will not affect her play later... anu must win... then i can take a big pressureless break.

save me from english

i already cannot believe that i am in the QET module and now i have to spend my precious 4 hours a week together with 20 other cheena people and a white haired man who talks so slowly i spent like 1.45 hours sleeping and yawning away at the corner.

he speaks like the whole world cannot understand english. although the people in class all speak chinese but they stil know what english sounds like and understands every crap you say even if you speak 5 time faster. i was really tempted to tell him that he should talk faster.

if he had stopped talking bout himself half the lesson and speed up the talking speed by 2 times. we would have finished the lesson in 20 mins. but too bad he had to "teach" the whole world to speak english and by doing that he wasted 20 people's time.

i totally cant believe that i have to spend like 4 X 12 = 48 hours with that man...............

GONE!!!!! ALL GONE
all down the drain gone

i chopped it all off.
all gone in an instant.
there goes three years of time and effort.
my head feels so much lighter now.

all the time i spent with my dry and wrinkly tresses are all just a part of my memories now. no more long hair that reaches the breast and no more buning and pony tails. no more rubberbands and no more long hours in the toilet trying to wash my hair. no more wasting so much time blow drying my hair. no more braiding and no more trying to flick it out of my eyes.

the amount of hair let on the floor was very shocking. all my three years worth of pain and misery is finally going to the making of a new pair of wig for some blad man. that man better thank me and send me something (tif and co) for sacrifising my hair. a good amount of my beautiful hair. it was one BIG PILE of hair on that floor. nice old rebonded hair ($150). nicely colored hair ($100 + $15 + $15 = $130) that is alot of money on the floor.

and soon to be one some man's head.

today is a special day.

woke up at 11.
lunch at 12.
decided to cut hair at 1.
travel to town at 2.
cut at 3.
a new woman at 4.

but it really reminds me of my old mushroom hair. to many memories of that disgusting hair in primary sch and secondary school. all the times i look like shit in photos. but they all say that it is nice leh. but it still brings back horrible memories of that big round head. i am starting to think that my hair is really bushy. like kung bushman female version.

lynn says that it looks better then my long hair. they say i look thinner. eugene say i xiang bu kai my boyfriend broke up with me. if only i had one to begin with.

but you know what???? as of yet it does not pain my heart yet. still no regrets. the monster ate my hair and i feeling happy now. still happy. but i am kinda thinkin that it can go shorter. surprising no regrets at all.

i have this short fringe now. very irritating. last time still can tuck behind my ears. now cant even reach there. now i have go back to my hairbands and hair wax. the hair dresser say i must style my hair coz the texture like shit. i know.... i have always knew that my hair texture is like freeking shit.

Shanny pte ltd is in trouble

1> goods kinda suck bad
cannot get my GEM and SS module and ended up with general bio and intro to psy for 700+ points from my programme account. like bloody shit cost so much my heart hurts. plus what's more is compliments of my lousy GP. so that is a total of 6 modules this sem....

psy seems like a pile of shit. attended my first lecture this afternoon and i almost died of shock of the requirements.
population is dry and the lecturer vocab is so good that i totally dont understand what she says without a dictionary.
social life seem nice. but there is no one to take it with me.

2> delivery intinerary sucks real bad
4day week, out of that i have 3 days of 6 hours straight. nothing can beat it. stupid QET is 4hours tut everyweek. that is a total of 4 X 10 = 40 hours in the whole sem. my poor timetable is so full and crappy i cant slot a one hour lab in. stupid right??? you will not see me in the corridoors of 4th floor anymore. shanny will always be out of hall somewhere in the hearts of arts.

3> company in debt
owe too many people money. spend too much in the past month there is a eat over deficit in current month accounts. jerseys totalling to more then 60 bucks and predicted textbooks debt of bout 100. plus coming CNY account to minus off 100 bucks. transport taking a toll on pocket and ezlink card.

too much to handle.. need to get an auditor.

4> bank loan denied
money is not going to come in soon. january suppliers just refuse to top up accounts. it is so sad when there is no financing. so everything is taken from the deficit and thus company deficit increases to social issues like suicide and induced dieting. bad for emplyees mental and physical health.

must find sponser. (note: wait till CNY)

5> not enough manpower
too many events in the whole semester that there is no chance for any public holiday. there is only how much a brain can work. and how much the body can take. need to emply more people to settle work but brain cells just go one strike. union does not want to continue employment unless there is less efforts.

6> no renovation in CNY period
the closet is just not adapting to the changes in finance. store manager is looking for more stocks, but due to financing issues the chairman is unable to effectively allocate resources. thus there is no revamp of interor and exteror design. thus employees have to rely on charity,

7> stucture mulfunction
the structure of the company cant take more bacon and mushrooms for supper. the amount of undesired fats is not very good for building structure and may involve in a collaspe in times of mudslides. should look into foundations of building. sources of problem should be mended and cemented.

8> annual anniversary programme
employees not reacting well to the programme. need to rethink aims and issues.

i am virgin no more
i touched my first ball.

yup... no matter how wet the floor was and how terrible the lighting was, i somehow managed to touch my first ball. it was very cold and my underwear was soaked up with all the juice. it was worse with me having my period. everything was mixing together. there was too much action i cant keep my eyes off the balls for that 2 mins. it was my first time...

yup... handball resulted in 5-0 win. technically it was just a pathetic 4-0 win coz they were butter-fingers enough to let in one own-goal. funny how i only got to play 2 mins.

the weather was so cold due to the rain. it was raining for the whole day. i hate the rainy season. why must the sky cry so much. stupid earth spinning on axis with that bloody 23.5deg tilt. rain whole day. monsoon whole month. courts so cold, so wet. even rolling the courts a million time still resulted in soaked underwear. really gross. i think my ass could feel the coldness. even my jacket could not keep me warm. freezing everytime the wind blew.

yan pivoting, lizard fast break, crazy pivot from RH, nikki with funny face, van in for a min, own-goal....

then the call came. "shanny, prepare to sub"
i was like "huh??? what me???
i have not warmed up yet"
weather too cold... cannot help... too late...

then i was in. it was the longest 2 mins of my handball career. (from a total of 2 mins so far) but still... the ball came straight at my legs. my freeking legs leh!!!! i bent down to take it by the hand. lucky it was a 100% save or i think qinghuan would have chopped off my head and hung it in the middle of hall. then HDCA can paint a banner - "shanny sucks".

then the rest of the team can just chop up the rest of my body and throw it all over the rest of SRC. and sprinkle my blood all over the goal post to ward off evil and bad luck.

but really... though handball is not my game. suddenly that 2 mins seemed like a very long time. keeping is really no joke. keeping is stress. lucky that tennis built up my mental. i can totally still remember that moment playing in slowmo in my head. STRESS LA!!!!!

i hope that photo comm got a pic of that save i made. ill try to find it... if can ill post it later...

distance makes life so differently difficult

it is so nice to meet old friends. too bad i have not seen siting for a long time. but it does not mine. i am still kept to date with certain people's escapades. it is so interesting what things happen over a period of time. amazing how shanny is often out of other peoples lives all the time. it is really so hard when you are not in the same school.

result of hari raya dinner at jurong point. rose from a certain somebody and a nice bottle of adidas

since lynette asked... i feel that i should educate my friends.
so... dear friends...

What i want for my BIG day

1> secret wish ... bigger bottle better
2> crumpler bag in red or green
3> i pod
4> wall clock that is readable
5> full set of twin double markers to write notes
6> new set of bed sheets
7> kimono clutch bag fm nine west
8> a new radio + cd player
9> angpaos ... tonnes
10> a new tennis racquet
11> denim shorts
12> nice brown belt

just for your info...
shanny's birthday is on the 28th of jan
aka chinese new year eve

shanny wants to get married to prince harry
dont you think that he is so cute????
jillian thinks so too.

i dont need the crown.
william is out.
harry is good... no strings attached...
not much pressure to have a royal heir

crown = too much responsibility. so

living on the legacy of shanny's terrible years at NUS

school is starting tomorro. i hate it when you have to go back to the LTs and see people you dont know and lectures that you dont know either. there is nothing to look forward too coz you dont have a class of friends that you can spend the next few moments of your life with. everyone is one freeking stranger.

that totally means that i will have to start printing notes like ink is free and pay for the very expensive course packs that cost wayyyyy more then a million bucks with most of the time is not even worth your time and money. have to spend money again. ill really have the money spent on things like orchard road.

January is an important month
there are many things that are going to occur this every faithful month.

1> IHG everything - sian man. i really dont feel like playing for anything at all. sports make my life more excting but this round of competition shanny wants to sit out. shanny is too tired to carry on.
2> shanny's 20th on the 28th - hello??? shanny is not going to be a teenager anymore. this month spells my new phase of my beautiful life. can wait...
3> chinese new year - as much as i hate it so much. CNY is totally not worth my time at all. it is a time where retarded people have to come together and i have to exercise high tolerance to chinese speaking people i dont care bout.
4> the start of a new terribly prediction of sem 2 - which idiot named shanny can survive one whole sem of 6 modules and exams that start on the first day and ends on the last day? kill me... seriously...

why love the things you love

the handball ancient seniors say that you will talk bout handball if you start to like it. you will talk bout it when you have dinner or go shopping, just as long as there is someone else in it with you. what you talk bout is what you have the passion for.

then i thought hard bout it and realised that i talk tennis all the time.

during handball training. when i see the handball courts next to the tennis courts. i will always stare at the tennis nets first before i set my eyes on handball. i always seem to see the tennis racquet in my room more then my wrist guard or my squash racquet. i will always with fail set my eyes on my gleaming white tennis shoes before my track trainees.

then it is then that i really found out that 10 years is tennis have really made me love it so much there is simply no explaination why i feel that way for the game. i will always dream of playing tennis. think of tennis doubles play. i guess there is no sport to take over that of tennis.

Ee Yang's farewell dinner

last time i am seeing ee yang (aka yang yang) he is leaving for exchange soon. off to hongkong he will have to go and onwards with the start of a new semester we have here in singapore. isnt it every irritating when your friends can leave on a jetplane and visit every other thing and place there is on earth. i will miss my yang yang.

number 2 is think it is rubbish.
number 3, 4 and 5 is only possible if i have the money
number 6 is highly possible, but most prob have to involve sex and a baby first.
unless it is marrying a prince and that also solves number 10.
number 7 is plain stupid.
number 8 is possible only if zhang zi yi dies a horrible death and i happen to be the murderer.
number 9 is just shanny dreaming. hogwats dont want me.

My New Year Resolutions
by Shanny Tan age 19 and 11 months (turning 20 soon!!!)

1. i will try to speak more gracefully. mommy says that i should stop being so animated when i speak. although it is already very much in me but i will try to stop all the facial expressions when i talk.

2. i will attend at least 85% of all my lectures and tutorials. and the impt thing is to maintain it throughout the year.

3. i will try to budget more. although i cant seem to do this with food but i will try in the shopping section. i definately do not want to turn up broke in the coming year. money is impt. esp for a short trip overseas to two

4. i will love myself and love God more. keep the work going to church every weekend and do my quiet time. spend more time with myself

5. i will try to save on supper. supper is not good for your health. supper makes you fat. supper makes you want to kill yourself.

but face it shanny.... these things are not really going to happen. new year resolutions are a big bunch of crap for socially unapted people who have no sense of confidence and self control. i love doing the things that i do and changing them mis only gonna make me unhappy which is totally not the point of living. make do with happiness all you can while you are alive and still studying before you get to suffer later.
