I must say... when chinese eat, they are scary!!! the amount of food I consume in the past 8 days is scary!!! and I am seeing the effects of the good food as my "good friend" named TUMMY is already waving back at me... Yesterday is the last official day of mass indulgence, this week will be detox before I go into working out back to my normal regime already. First 16 weeks will commence from March. next will be July till October. Wish me luck.... and don't worry, I will not be flooding this blog with exercise stuff. Will however be starting an event on FB, will be a private even so for those who are interested, please let me know and I will add you guys (or girls). Will be sharing my work out and other tips and all from others lah. Do keep a lookout. BY INVITES ONLY!~!
Yesterday was pretty fun, and a steamy day... haha filled with steamboat that is. hahaha had steamboat at 2 location, lunch at my aunt, dinner at Trena's place. Think I am growing a phobia for steamboat already, hopefully dun have to have one more anytime soon (thou i foresee one coming up OMG OMG OMG) Anyway, the weekend was pretty alright but really really alot of makan. Friday had potluck at Kate's place once again, the final one before Herbert and Kate bids farewell as Bert flies back to NZ and Kate is off to Korea for an exchange for 4 months. Pictures are with Bert and Dennes so will have to wait for it.
Hmm... nothing much to state liao. Will just share some pic from yesterday night from Apel's cam.

Happy Lunar New Year!!!
GONG HEI FATT CHOY Everyone!!! hope everyone is having a roaring start to the new year!!! may everyone have good health and a fantastic year ahead! The months leading to today has been a good on, so far 2010 has been pretty kind to me. Thank you friends, family and everyone that has left a mark in my life in the year of the Ox. I must say last year has been pretty rough, but having that behind me, I am definitely looking forward to having a fantastic Tiger year ahead.
Let just slowly recap on what happened from the "english" new year, till this "lunar" new year. Several fun events took place, some are life's turning point, while others are just reason for gathering, but nevertheless, all left a footprint in my memories.
There is Ross and Bell's Full month celebration, the first ever doggie full month I attended in my life.
A picture of the happy family!!!
Then of course there is the first marriage that was informed to us since we event graduated.
Congraz to you Serene and Thomas.. as you guys embark on life's journey, I sincerely wish you guys all the best, stay happy, blissful and loving always.
After that of course the next day was my first race of the year! The Men's Health Urbanathlon, Maybe I pinned the standard too high to the one one NYC, thats why for anticipating a tough race, which turn out much easier than I tot. Took me about 5 mins to recover from that 12.5km with obstacle run. Was still able to walk all the way to Wayne's apartment for a shower, grab breakfast before heading home. But overall, fun!!!
Run pass the finishing line!!!
This is then followed by my ICT.... and of course my IPPT... now I holding this status!!!
Heez... a great achievement at the start of the year. Pretty much something I expect to get by this year (one of my new year resolution) but wasn't expecting it so soon or early this year. Now will be to maintain it and pehaps improve in the points. Am currently a 24 pointer (full is 25) so will have to work for a perfect score, and heard from my friend Wei Ling the elite forces time for 2.4km run is 9.14min, so something else to work for. TRAINING HARD!~!~
Then there is the Airshow 2010, something my buddy Herbert (who is a plane fanatic) jio-ed so tot why not... Nothing fantastic to be honest, I think the opening for public was purely a gimmick for the organizer to earn something out of it, coz by the time we are there... there are more empty booths then exhibits left. Overall was good and did get myself a tank top tan as the sun was scorching!!!
And of course there is the 2010 Asian Pot Luck Summit at Kate's place where great chef exchange pointer and fantastic dishes.
The latest will be a last min shopping out with Apel, attempting to get a little CNY shopping done, ended up she bought all she need than me... HAHA never the less good good company and outing lah...
She asked me what will my new year resolution be. These year, as the start of the next decade, I have quite a number of resolutions, some are general while some are pretty much personal wellness. For the general,
1) Wish that everyone stays healthy, fit, happy, especially my parents
2) Have a health work/sport/leisure time (so that I can have more friends time without losing sports commitment time)
3) Embark and excel in a career.
On a personal note, I really wish to attain quite abit physically.
1) Obtained my dream figure by Halloween
2) Attain IPPT Gold (which I already did)
3) To join an overseas run
This year is a year where I will test my limits again, or rather, try to find the limits or breaking point. Don't worry, I will of course do it safety. Many might think I am insane, but honestly, you have to try it before calling me that, coz the feeling of each time you feel you have already reach your limit and you survive, you will feel that it wasn't so bad, and the next time you do the same thing, you realised you have surpassed it and attain another new limit. As the saying goes, What doesn't kills you makes you stronger.
So aim is to get stronger as I am sure I will never reach my strongest!!!
That my first entry for this new year!!! may everyone have a great year ahead and give a 120% in everything you do, I am sure you will do well as long as you try!!!
ROAR!~!~!~

BOOK OUT BOOK OUT!~!~!~
After one entire week, I must say this much needed rest is really required. Sometimes a little get away is a good way to get you back on track... However, this came with a price as I AM GETTING FATTER!~!~!~ OMG.... But not all is lost... coz I am officially a GOLD standard for IPPT... by sheer chance of my age! hahah here is my result. Majority of my stations have improvement to my amazement, but really have to work on my SBJ (DAMN i can't jump)
Sit Up - 43 49
SBJ - 230 230
Chin Up - 12 12
S. Run - 10.0s 9.7s
2.4km - 9.46mins 9.34mins
Award Silver Gold
Woohoo i cleared my this year window, thou a little earlier than I wished for it. Initially I wasn't keen on taking it during this reservist feeling I wasn't ready (and the fact that I have just done the urbanathlon the weekend before) but as I head back to rest, I tot to myself, if I didn't take then, I have to plan a separate date just to burn my morning to go take it. So I just decided to give it a go and I only have one tot in mind, to get GOLD (which i eventually did) *pat my own back* hahaha
Okok enough about that... anyway the rest of the training is very enjoyable yet fattening coz been eating quite abit. really need to plan my diet well to get it into control again. expecting another session this end of the year. Hopefully by then I can see a significant change to myself, seriously!!! made a pact with some of the guys... hopefully can work something out... OMG...
It an exciting weekend ahead... cannot wait... but shortly... will have to go shower and head out liao... hehe... shall feedback more soon lah... for now...GOLD woohoo!!!
An achieve in life that I never dreamt of in the past... One new year resolution fulfilled!!!

yet another happening weekend.
It seems that my weekends just gets better and better. I will not exactly say this weekend started off well. Had a super rush event. To my personal feeling, I didn't think it was really smooth but since my boss asked me to take it as a "learning experience" I just take it. All I can say is Venue Vendor got to start hiring responsible staff. SERIOUSLY... Nothing much left to say about that place or event for that matter. Moving on to the evening, Its been the day we all have been waiting for... our beloved Serene Wang get married... Its was a fantastic dinner, honestly speaking, the first ever wedding I had to attend for a fren (used to be with parent for their friend's kids wedding kinda situation). Everything was good and everyone was so well dressed. Too bad not everyone could make it if not it will definitely be more fun.
Some photos to share.

(L to R): Mariyanto, David, Ah Su, Meilian, Yi Shen, Hu Yan, Ann, Joyce, ME!!!

Gorgeous ladies for the evening

Handsome Hunks (except me of course) for the evening

And of course, the newly Weds Mr. and Mrs. Loh =P Congraz guys...

that is definitely not all... I did plenty more cam-whore with my beloved Bo Bo united lah... these girls never fail to brighten up the atmosphere in the class. Love them to bits...




Unfortunately, i couldn't join in the after wedding party as I have a run (which I will touch on shortly) but overall, its really great to have meet up again, and really hope the next meet up is not so long again!!!
Now to my run, first ever medal for 2010, The Mens Health Urbanathlon 2010, First ever all male event in Singapore. Honest Honest opinion, I seriously didn't felt much kick out of it... coz there wasn't pain after the run, like how the other runs would give me. I am not a sucker for pain (okok maybe a little bit) but its more like the aches I was looking for. I got none.... just felt tired, probably from not getting my 8 hours of rest for the past few days. but other than that I am fine. haha... Some changes have been made to some of the station. I was expecting the stairs climbing to be a challenge, but not really, it was pretty much step I do for beefcake (land training for dragonboat in Aussie term) so did wind me out for awhile, but was really awhile. Managed to catch my breath at the monkey bar station as a queue has been formed. That would be the "toughest" leg of the race i suppose (though i cleared at one go lah) coz the rest really didn't feel that "tormenting" as I would have expected. Kinda disappointed to be really honest as I look at their website and they show the one they had on Chicago, that's kick ass... But nevertheless I survives and killed it... HAHA I guess it would be more of a challenge if i really did set out to win something I suppose (instead of the mindset of just complete it). Overall, fun and scenic run with breaks (from the obstacles) in between.
Some photos...
My officially retired Asic runner, this runner did some major distance with me... but I decide to let it go after this glorious battle... gonna miss them...
A photo wall...
Finish line, that's not my timing, I was already cleaned up and ready to leave so tot I just snap a few pictures... hehe
That's it... tml reservist for a week... not too sure how the office is going to be like... but well... let see how it goes...
Woohoo!!! OUT

Fantastic Weekend.
Last weekend was really really awesome!!! All three days was well spent, every single minute was really enjoyable. Haven't had so much fun in a long long time. lets start from Friday. Went for Simply Ballroom (thanks to Catherine) It was really good, seeing ballroom dancing at its best, kinda like a ballroom plus an element of broadway into it... it was really enjoyable. After that was a little drink with her at Brewerks (since we had to wait for Brandon anyways) had a little chat before heading home.
Saturday is where the fun starts, woke up early and set out to Changi Point Jetty. Thank to Debby's little wonder pouch with a street directory in it... I managed to find my way there ON TIME!~!~! Lets save on the details, altogether there was 13 of us (about there) and we all set out. A pity that I didn't have my camera coz we really did not take alot of picture for this trip and being a trigger happy person, I felt there is so many beautiful pictures i have missed out... Oh well till next time!!!
The ride was fun, but was tough at some point as the seat for my bike starts to give me a little problem (its custom for girls btw) So yeah, nevertheless we arrived at the resort in one piece. Lodging was simple but great.
Sunday, we decided to take another route which was more fun and definitely shorter. Event the ferry back was faster (took us half the time we took to get there). Had dinner with the gang before riding home. Rode to Changi when the sun is barely up, rode back home when the sun had pretty much set.. NICE... overall I clocked a total of 141.55km. woohoo great start of the year... Debby took a picture evidence of my achievement. Good job everyone...cannot wait for the next one!!!

Thankfully it died of old age, peacefully without any illness whatsoever. But have to part with someone that has been a part of huge portion of your life... This sudden let go is definitely not easy. Stay strong bro, I am sure Slash is in safe hands now... and is definitely watching over you from above.

Rough Rough week
Haven't really been blogging for awhile. Its been a pretty rough week but I shall not bring work matter on to this blog (unless I really need an avenue to blast out) for now, in a nutshell, work is just complains....Complains....and COMPLAINS!~!~!~
Anyhow, I shall just be professional, do what is expected of me... and leave as "contract" states. Hahaha... okok lets just briefly go through how my week was like starting last Friday, went for a movie with Jacp, caught Avatar with her, second time I am watching this movie but still as great as ever, and after so long... ITS STILL FULL HOUSE... before that, went for a little shopping, got a couple of good steal from topman, it was like meant to be coz I just go, see, grab, try and go!!! it was that simple... will post pictures if i get the opportunity to wear them =P Anyway, decide to go hunt for a suit, just for the fun of it... coz the blazer i wore on NYE is seriously oversized. and Jacp decide to bring me to one of THE BEST!~!~! make a guess yah... haha here is how i look... (excuse the cam whore lah... its not everyday I get to wear it...=P)
So yeah, this suits cannot get out of my mind since then... HAHAHA, enough on that, now on movie, after Avatar, we decide on "Invictus" its a really nice film, its about how one sport brought the nation together. Was ok for my but obviously to dry for the person behind me coz he is snoring away.
Saturday, went for a little walk walk with Joyce, searching for nothing in particular so window shopped quite abit. Kinda tempted to get a polo but the fitting was a little weird. Kinda regret not getting it coz we didn't see that in any other branch... Not fated i suppose..=P (save $$$ also) haha. The Suit craze carried on and yeah went to another place to try. Verdict, Money = Quality, although these are more affordable, for the price we pay, i must say they are decent suits lah.
here is a picture of it.
So yeah... nice too... and alot alot cheaper!!! haha... Oh well, consider and save up ba... =P and of course I need to workout tone up till my eventual size before buying. HAHAHA
That evening was at Gregor's farewell bbq... nice evening lah... Sunday was fun too... but dun wish to elaborate, just a handful shall know then.
Then its this week... start of the week was rough, nothing improve... but still trying to fine the brighter side. and today finally saw some.. so hopefully the weekend will take a turn for the better then.
Alright that's all for today... keep posted!!! looking forward to this weekend!!!

Busy day...
Today is a frantic day in office, actually this week has been pretty packed. Just that today is more packed as everyone decide to come in with their answers. So yah... Anyway, one good news is... I closed a deal for the company!!! good start to 2010 definitely. Not a major project but a deal is a deal lah!!! hee
The office is currently facing an evolution, would really hope there is a change... but hey...whatever it is, if an opportunity comes knocking... I will move, I believe I can learn a lot, hopefully a change of even will give me power to stay on.
As for other things this week, been rather forgetful lately, yesterday was my water bottle and lunch box, today was my running shoes, when I was suppose to go for iRun. DUMB!!~!~! but nevertheless, push myself hard and did the run in my neighbourhood instead. My stamina definately improved from the hellweek, and I am glad it did not deproved despite not working out for such a long while. the thing to control will still be my diet, a huge thing to overcome.
Learing to take things a step at a time, I realise I am too gan jiong about things, with good enough reasons too I suppose coz MY HEAD IS ON THE CHOPPING BOARD!~!~! haha. Oh well we will see how things goes. Live my own motto, want to do, must do well, if not dun do. Will try to give my 100 if not 120 %.
Now to dragonboat, the SPC dragonboat race is super tempting coz I am sure the training there is much much much tougher as compared to Aussie (thou theirs are not easy, if you push urself) but its the cash, time and commitment I am worried. =( Serious consideration of "the job"... working for passion or for pay? well... honestly... I donno and can really see how thing goes...
well... thats all for today, TOMORROW IS FRIDAY and will be heading to Pandora with Jacp... haha 2nd time I am going there... but guess I will enjoy it as much as the first time. before that will have to run some errands in town. and that pretty much sums up my week. Sat and Sun are both covered, so yeah, wish me luck and Friday is always a day to look forward to... dun u agree... =P Have a fantastic weekend guys!~!~!

Mid week....
Forgetful day, came to work then to realised that I forget 2 important thing!!! My water bottle and my "chick chick"lunch box... HAHAH am sure most of you are puzzled by that, yes, I carry a lunchbox around, contain my daily supplies of snack (which is slices of bread spread with peanut butter) Will show you a picture of my lunchbox if I have the chance...=P
Day 2 with this new manager, Gareth is his name, verdict as of now... seems pretty alright, nice fella, but hey its been 2 days, but if he really does what he "promise" to do, I might just stay around the company for a little long than I expect. Problem now is to take the first step. Just hope its not a bunch of empty promises and no delivery.
Went for iRun yesterday, decided to give 7km a shot, tried to pace with the main guy... HE IS FAST LAH... but hey all was not lost as pacing with him (but eventually still lost him) gave me a pretty good timing. I covered 7km in 30min 40 sec. I will just need to keep training to keep my momentum and pace increasing lah. 25 more day to my first event of the year, participating not organizing.
This month's weekend is already filled, which is GREAT!~!~!~weekdays train, weekend I train and enjoy. Thats how it should be I suppose. =P
Looking for a suitable attire to wear to a friends wedding dinner. Want to look good but not snatching the limelight from the groom. Will be great if anyone can recommend me place that I can get nice and good quality grey blazer at an affordable rate.=P
3.5 hrs to the end of the day.... hahah literally counting down to the end of midweek. OMG hahaha.As I start to see some light in this company, just praying and hoping it will not overcast again, coz that will be the time i depart.... MUAHAHAHA
nothing to share today.... oh was feeling bored yesterday so did a little photo editing... HAHAH and the result of my random lighting and colour adjustment!!! TADA!~!~!
Day 2 with this new manager, Gareth is his name, verdict as of now... seems pretty alright, nice fella, but hey its been 2 days, but if he really does what he "promise" to do, I might just stay around the company for a little long than I expect. Problem now is to take the first step. Just hope its not a bunch of empty promises and no delivery.

Attack of the Zzzz Monster!!!
I must have got bitten by the Zzzz monster coz my brain has officially shut down, and my eyes is having difficulty to stay open. Finding things to do to keep myself awake... Haven't felt like that in a long long while... must be really old liao.... just a little fun time and it screw up my entire system... HAHAHAHA...
Today is day one in office for the new year, one colleague left, another will be coming in... but not colleague, but BOSS!!! yes... coming in as a MANAGER position. 7 years working experience (field: unknown), Non chinese (will be interesting to see him talking to the boss (taiwanese)). Work wise.... manageable. Taking a 15mins break just to write in this entry...

Beginning...
After 2 weeks of slacking, doing nothing, eating, drinking and ZERO exercise... I must say its really awesome and fun... and not to mention sinful to the MAX... but hey what the heck right? its the festive seasons.... hehe... now a little recap on how my N.Y.E went....
Thurs
NYE was alright... had to do a little show...which in my opinion, rather messy but we managed to pull it off... clients were happy, everyone was happy, I was happy... hey great... Ended off at about 1am ish (Already New Year Day!!!) so left and walk down the street of orchard road which was still buzzing with live... a rare phenom considering the time. Decided to try my luck with the MRT, which was still in operation due to the festive season (lucky me!!!). Drop by Paulaners to meet, Karen, Sasa, Jac and Keenan. Order myself a couple of pints of beer and thats pretty much the amount of alcohol I had for NYE 'celebration' hee. Had a little chit chat, definately enjoy the band's performance. After which wanted to go Butter for a look see... but was still queuing even at 3am in the morning... so decide against it... saw Sherine and gang so said my NY wishes... retired into the night...home.....say.....4am ish....=p
Friday
Woke up, haven a clue what time it was.... apparently it was 10am if I am not mistaken... bio clock is schedule to wake up at around that time. Hmm... cannot really remember what went on that day... just knew that evening went to Acid Bar for a drink with Cindy, Ethan and a new friend Frankie. Funny guy he is... They headed of to Boiler for more party, me being the old man, decided to call it a night. Home and rested about 2am...
Saturday
Got up at about 10am (as usual), did some shopping with my mum, then came home to prepare for a little gathering at kate's. Shall not get into details but there is only one word to describle the gathering... AWESOME!~!~! already looking forward to my next gathering with them.
Today
Initally tot of going for a tan, but had second tots the moment i looked into the mirror and that flabby thing waving at me... Did not go in the end, ended up being a good family guy and did some spring cleaning for my mum. Met at Debs place for a mini "New Year preparation" gathering. Basically ate the most sinful of things (chips), must have taken enough salt to fill an ocean coz i am downing water like nobodies buiness. Luckly I washed it down with some superb wine just now...
But that pretty much concludes the "Junk Food" season for my year! From now on, Water is my best friend, beer will have to come in second place and drank on special occasions. Food type and intake will have to be more careful, and time to start this stalled engine all over again. One month is a very short time to train... but I still have to make the best of it... TML will be the start of the new year... so looking forward to new challenges, new friends, new chances and opportunities... and of course LOTS of my runs and trainning... =p dun worry, will not bore you all with all the training entries... will pick interesting ones to share (alright Trixy....=P)
Have a great one everyone, for those that is working.... no one enjoy working but hey... lets not start the new year with Monday blues k... try this... looking into a mirror and smile at urself for 10 sec before you head out for work... your day will brighten up.... For those that are studying....study really hard... all the best and enjoy while u are studying... its indeed the best time of your life... trust me... I missed it already.... =P
Good Night one and all.... Have a good one!!

New Year Resolution!~!~!
Pondering what my 2010 is going to be like.... Kinda excited yet fearful....very mixed feeling I know. This kinda struck me while writing my Xmas and New Year wishes to my friends last week and also a comment by my fren, Trixy just now. She mentioned "Aiya, you blog always about working out....sibei Sian lor" (Haha) I know there is nothing wrong about sports and I am happy doing them, but it can't help but get me wondering is that the impression I give to others about me... HAHAH, I am not all no life guys... believe me =p HAHAHA i just try to enjoy moderately... really refusing to go back to my pang pang self...Anyway, yeah, will have a good think about what I really do wish to achieve (apart from sports, which i am all excited about). Get featured again? Join ManHunt 2010? Fly? HAHAHA crazy thinking but hey....BRAINSTORMING K~!!~!~hahaha
Something never change thou, new year resolution that is renewed every year - Stay Happy, make sure those around me are happy, and be a better me... and of course good health to everyone.
okok enough of that, now to daily life.... well a couple of must watch movies, Avatar and Sherlock Holmes. MISS IT AND REGRET IT!~!~!~ hee.. yeah its that good... Started my cycling, borrowed the bike on Sat from Cindy (THANKS BABE!~!~) and cycled from town back, passed by Ubi so got the seat adjusted and it started pouring DINOSAURS!~!~!~
Went to Ice Cold Beer with 2 lovely ladies, Sherine and Wai Leng, Had the legendary (but rather sinful) chicken wings and yes... they still taste awesome!!! sometimes it doesn't really take alot to make a wonderful day, just a couple of frens, a good place to chill, couple of beer, a camera (since i am a cam lover - aka whore) and you are in for a good nite (woot woot)
Mid week seems extra enticing this week as this week is really short... CANNOT WAIT LIAO!~!~! ROAR... Party hard one last time and it time to go hardcore!!! dun worry this place will not be filled just with sports regime, but hopefully other colours in my life...
Keep Posted.... Ryan....OUT!!!

Boxing Day!!!

Happy Boxing day everyone..!!! hope the rain didn't dampen off any festive spirits!!! =P Phew, just came back from a friend's place, coz I borrowed her bike (as in bicycle...not vroom vroom bike), and YES I MADE IT BACK ALIVE!~!~!~ muahahaha
Need a bike to start training for OCBC in march, but before that will try to squeeze in a long cycle with the gang (hopefully no work on that weekend) in Jan. Hee... its been a long time since i cycle, and I must say... the feeling is awesome!!! thou I dun have long hair that flies against the wind, but the feeling is still shiok nevertheless. +p
Christmas day was a good boy... stayed home and cleared my clothings.... some are going to salvation army since i am not wearing them no more. while packing yesterday, then I realised that alot of my tees are actually from running events, and boy do i have many of them... NEXT YEAR WILL HAVE MORE!~!~!~
Thats all for today... OH YAH... HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHERINE!~!~!~

Its Christmas!!!
In less than 24 hours we will welcome the festive season.... Rather exciting I must say. Having a little gathering with a few mates for dinner. Hopefully it will be really fun!!!, or rather it will be REALLY FUN I AM SURE!!! alot of catching up to do (as we seriously have not met for ages)
Today's entry will be dedicated to my EVIL TWIN!!! Debster!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABEZ!!!! It was yesterday btw, but hey never too late.
This is my evil twin, thou we might just have met this year, but it just felt like we known each other for ages!!! missing our long coffee sessions and evil moments.HAHAH... Just want to say thank you for everything. Age is definitely a number for us as we are all kids within!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY once again and Happy Holidayz!!!
Went for her party yesterday, was a simple affair, her with a few good friends, and well... kinda odd as I am one of the rare DB frens she invited, but strangely didn't really felt that out of place like I would in other parties. Probably coz her friends are all in similar lines thus there are always something to talk about. First time I partied till late on a weekday (reached home like 1am) hahaha.... so had a little difficulty waking up today, but lucky coffee does the trick for me.... probably might have to do another shot just to keep me going for the entire day (fyi: usually try to still to one shot per day)
Lots to do after work!!! but kinda looking forward to it!!! woohoo its the holiday holiday holidays... haven't felt the festive mood in a long time!!!
Merry Christmas everyone!!! PARTY HARD and if you drink...please dun drive...=P

Saturday Saturday!~!~!
Yes, I am in the office, taking a little time off to blog. Was actually planned to come in on boxing day... but i changed it... OF COURSE RIGHT!~!~!~who wants to come back on a long weekend!!! hahaha
Today will be Xmas paddle, a light paddle which i really enjoy and pretty much sum up the year's paddling. So without that for a few Saturdays to come, I would really need much determination not to stray too far away from my regime. (aka DUN GROW FAT!!!! ahaha)
Hmm.... next 2 weeks, very busy, with personal things I suppose, alot of packing to welcome the new year... really need to get to cleaning my ROOM!!! OMG OMG OMG... daunting task... Its the time of the year to really reflect on the year that have past. All the SOUR, SWEET, BITTER, SPICY things that has taken place, have them orgainised, kept and start to plan how the new year is going to be like. Like mention 2010 is going to be a rather exciting year... but I foresee a number of uncertainty ahead... but shall face it with an open heart and see where the journey takes me. I currently have a vision ahead, which, ironically is an entirely different path as I wanted to take on 2 years back. Honestly if you ask me, I never expected myself to consider this path before, but at least with this "vision" I can hopefully work something out. GAMBATE NEH!~!~
As I end 2009 soon, would just like to give my gratitude to all my friends, those old ones that have stood by me all these year, or newer ones that I knew throughout this year. You guys have made my life that much more exciting, and adding colours to my black and white world. Of course, the year was not smooth sailing, so just want to say to my "friends", I forgive you, but will not forget what you do to me. Every wound leaves a scar, so thank you for "disfiguring" me further. To all of you out there, you didn't manage to kill me, now I AM EVEN STRONGER!!!
Everyone's favorite segment to welcoming a new year is to set a new year resolution, and honestly by far I have only hit one resolution (which is to lose weight and get featured in a magazine - which i got featured in 2!!! hahaha) but anyway, I already have my mind set on my resolution for 2010. Just have to bite the bullet and attain it. To those that have been setting resolution and not hitting them and think well I will just let it snowball, let me tell you, attain ur resolution is a very satisfying feeling.!!! You should really try it!!!
Anyway that's for all, I am really just waiting for time to fly, or rather to pass so that I can end work for the week. May everyone have a wondering couple of weeks ahead... ITS TIME TO PARTY!~!~!~wooHooo
