The end of 2009.

It’s the New Year’s Eve today! Have you all made plans for tonight?
How are you gonna celebrate the last day of 2009 and the new beginning of 2010?

For me, this year, I don’t know. Even though I have quite a few invitations but I don’t feel like heading out actually. Everywhere is gonna be crowded and I’m just not exactly a ‘crowd’ person.
I’d rather relax at home instead of squeezing with people out there when the clock strikes twelve tonight. That’s so un-teen right? I know. Don’t remind me.

Some time by April next year, I’ll no longer have a ‘one’ as the first digit in my age already. Feels pretty weird. Remember how you used to think the 20s’ people are mature working adults when you were fifteen? Now that I’m turning 20 soon, 20s’ doesn’t feel like that age to be all that mature at all.

Okay, I’d just sidetracked.
Well, every New Year’s Eve has been pretty much the same.

Hanging out together with your family or friends over dinner at home or pubs, no matter which is it, there’s definitely gonna be alcohol around.
Everyone will wait for the clock to show “11:59pm” with excitement so you all could start counting down.
When the time has finally come, everyone shouts the long awaited greeting,

“HAPPY NEW YEAR!”

And the party poppers starts popping, everyone starts hugging anyone in sight regardless you know or not know that person.

Sometimes I wonder if they actually know what they are really celebrating or are they just doing it because that’s just how people have been doing it over the years. :/

Well, year 2009 have been a… … I don’t know, relatively common year for me.
Nothing much fascinating happened. In fact I don’t think I’d accomplished much this year, which is quite disappointing, for myself really.
Some shits also happened this year.
Like a friendship turned sour and I haven’t talk to that particular ‘soured friend’ since then.
Or a job that I had that wasn’t exactly a pleasant experience for me.

Though so, I wouldn’t say it’s a bad year and I’m still thankful.
Cause no matter how many bad situations there are, I always had friends who really cares and I’ve also found more friends that matters. These are the people that I’d spent many great moments with them and I’m glad I did.
So here’s a big Thank-Yous to all you wonderful people who made year 2009 a very enjoyable one!

I’ve summed up a few of my resolutions for the upcoming twenty-ten.
But it’s just two that I’m willing to share. The rest are private and confidential. Ha-ha!

Driving License – I hope I could obtain my driver’s license by the end of October next year. Don’t ask me why October, I don’t know, I just want it by then. As much as I would like to be driving on the road on my birthday like what Cass did this year, I kind of figured out that it’s a little too rush to be able to obtain my license by then. But I could always arrange for a driving lesson on my birthday itself so technically I am still driving on the road ON my birthday.

Gym & Diet –  To gym at least once a week and to stick to a fruit diet. I have been procrastinating on this since forever. I really hope I’m able to stick to this for at least six months starting from 01 January 2010. I’d appreciate it if you could spare me from the “fruit diet itself is not good enough for health” and such. I’d really like to have my weight back at forty something. Ha-ha!

Anyway, here’s wishing you guys a happy 2010!
Hope you guys enjoy much tonight and have a wonderful and exciting year ahead!

Happy New Year!

xoxo!

Hole-y.

IRO Quedem Sweater

I fell in love with this sweater when I saw it online!

Though I’m wondering if it would really keep me warm under strong air-conditioned places like my lecture hall.
But it’s so nice and chic! Or maybe it looks nice because the model is wearing it. :/

What do you think?

Couples Retreat

It was a lucky night for me that day I went to watch the show.
Here’s why.

I got to watch the movie for free!
I was heading towards the ticketing office to get the tickets for the show and some guy came up to me and offered me a pair of tickets to the show for free. I’m guessing that he had a tiff with his girlfriend and they didn’t have the mood to watch it anymore. Okay, so it was lucky for me and too bad for them.

The show had a few good hilarious moments but in overall it’s a little below my expectations.
I thought it would be pretty good when I watched the trailer. Oh well.
Even though the locations were beautiful and such but the storyline was a little, hmm, expected?
Romance? Just a tiny bit at the end. Mostly was filled with fights and arguments.
Come to think of it, I don’t think there was a climax.
Plus the actors weren’t really those well known ones, at least they are not well-known enough for me!
No eye candies as leads. :\

2.5. that’s the highest I could give.
My say? 2.5 stars out of five, I think you all know what my say is.
Watch it online or on the day when you can get the ticket at its lowest.

Lucky me, I didn’t have to pay a single cent on that film so I kinda enjoyed it for a bit.
Ha-ha!

2012

During a lecture on Business Environment last month, my lecturer threw the class a random question.

Have any of you watched the recent movie, 2012? If so, do you think that, maybe the world is really coming to an end on 2012?

Nobody answered.

“Okay, that was a silly question. If you all had believed that the world’s ending on 2012, what would you be doing here for today. Why study if the world’s ending in another few years, right?“
And he continued on the topic of Globalization.

His question got me thinking for a bit.
Of course I don’t think that the world would come to an end on 2012,(otherwise, really, why study?) but maybe what was shown in the movie, MIGHT actually be happening. The core of the earth heating up and stuff that will eventually lead to the so called, end of the world. (though we’d all probably be dead even before it actually happens!)
Pretty scary huh.

I thought the show was good enough. The graphics. The storyline. The emotions.
Really. You guys should totally watch it.
Um, get the DVD or something cause it’s not showing in the cinemas’ anymore.

I remember Daryl was telling me that it’s not a very nice show and he got bombarded by Erika and Sally who thought it was a really good and must-watch movie.
I would have probably join Erika and Sally with the bombardment if I’d watched it already that time. Ha-ha!

So I was saying, I really liked the movie, though some parts were a bit, silly and illogical?
But still, the movie got me thinking about quite a number of things after watching.
I’d give it a 3.5 maybe?

What if one day the news announced a particular date to the world.
The date when the world would end?

I think I’d try out all the things I never dared to or have yet to do.
And never eat another mouth of horrible food for the remaining days.
Stuffs like that. He-he!

Merry Christmas!

Hope you guys have a splendid Christmas this year!
Be well and be blessed tremendously.

Santa gave me a COLD this year for Christmas.
I spent my Christmas sleeping in bed with a high fever.
Talk about ‘gifts’ you really hate to receive. :/
Bummer!

On a brighter note, I’ll get to see my CHEC people tomorrow!
Can’t wait! I hope I don’t pass the flu to them though!

Oh oh, Happy Boxing Day too!

*Author’s note: I know the flow of this post is in a complete mess. I know. But I think it’s excusable for a person with a cold in her groggy state, right? Ha-ha!
