Cheers To A Better and More Peaceful Year
It's the time of the year again, when things are more relaxed and most people are just enjoying the holidays. It's the time to make New Year Resolutions and then realise a couple of months later that they're going nowhere.
Let me just take this chance to reflect on what I've been through these past 12 months.
--I tried to study hard and stay awake in the lectures (sometimes I succeed)
--I went through the interview and got my current job before I even had my final exams
--I signed my first permanent employment contract on the day before 2 of my final papers
--I started training and somehow managed to pass that
--I got my exam results and saw that I failed 2 out of 4 papers this time
--I still manage to get my Bachelor of Science in Business (Honours) ~Yippee!!~
--I have more personal and 'me' time now in this job than I ever thought I would
--I'm aware of how tough and vulnerable I am in times of adversity
I gained a lot of things, both mentally and materially, this year, especially in the last couple of months. YOu can say I've grown smarter in some ways and became an idiot in others. I'm no longer the sweet, happy-go-lucky girl; yet, I'm less of a bitch nowadays than I was, say half a year ago.
I'll be welcoming the arrival of 2006 in New York, one of the cities I vowed to visit at least once in my lifetime. That was the promise I made to myself when I was still schooling. With this job, I traveled to places I've always wanted to go. Back to the main point-- I've heard of this somewhere: If you're with the people you like when the clock strikes 12, then you guys will be together for the next year. Well, I'm going to be alone and abroad. But I'm sure that as long as I have those I love in my heart, I won't be lonely.
New Year 'Quote': I used to say "Wish me luck, I need lots of it." Actually, I AM a very lucky person already. I have my family and friends who are also there for me, I have a roof over my head and no worries about going hungry, I have enough clothes and accessories, I have a job that many envy, I have a paycheck that can get me the things I need and want. Indeed, I am very lucky.
Happy New Year, everybody.

Happy Holidays
I'm finally blogging again. Don't blame me first, cos I have a valid reason. My internet access at home was off due to some modem problem and my bro decided to switch from MaxOnline to SingNet. Whatever, but during my one week in Singapore, I didn't have internet!! And my family were off to Taiwan for a tour. So it was only me and the TV. Not that I'm complaining (at least I have the TV and all my VCDs), but I really wanted to check my mails, and some info about the place I'm flying to.
Tonight, I'm off for a 4-day Osaka/KL pattern. Hmm. I'll be spending X'mas eve in a hotel room in KL, and coming back home on X'mas day itself, around 2225hr. I'm not a Christmas person, but this is the first time I'm away from home on a Christmas and New Year.
Hehehhehe. I have a New York pattern for New Year! So I'll be welcoming the arrival of 2006 in NYC! Flying back to Narita on New Year's Day. Yippee! I mentioned before that I so wanted a NYC pattern for X'mas. Now that I've got this-- Dream came true!
To all my friends and family who were there for me whenever I needed you guys-- Thanks for the shoulders you all lent me when I was going through the awful times; Thanks for listening to me crap non-stop; Thanks for giving me support endlessly; Thanks for making me feel that I'm not the total loser I think I am.
My quote for Christmas-- Don't give up believing, because the wish might come true at the Best Moment.
Merry Christmas everybody!
