The difference btw us.
6:52 AM
O today I attended my first lesson at MDIS. It was super early like 9 am.. and I was the first to arrive.. there were only 2 students for today.. e rest couldn't make it..

I swear I paid attention lo.. but my chinese is really rusty lo.. First lesson, the teacher question my motivation for taking tis course. And most people really ask me? u want venture into china ah? okok.. not really. I really hope by taking up this course.. and if one day my boss decided to give me china funds.. I won be deep shit mah.. seriously.. I'm not sure how long will i stay in this job also.. aiya.. just put it in my CV lo.. I swear I must be serious lo.. if not I will waste my damn money...

Anyway.. e other student who came this morning.. wah.. she very li hai.. very outspoken.. young. like me.. *e first time.. the teacher say she look younger than me.. and i think she is perhaps younger than me la"..
but, while she was doing the talking.. I got a gut feeling that she must graduate from SMU. And true enough she just graduate from SMU. Hmm.. somehow.. I really admire her..
bti stress by her also.. cos e teacher keep shooting questions.. its either her or me lo.. but me being me.. keep quiet lo.. k la.. i did try my best to give answer.. but some very technical.. and i swear i really give half of my biz knowledge to my tutors and prof le... can vaguely remember abit lo..

It's interesting la.. lookin forward to my next lesson in e afternoon.

**
Decided to go spree shopping after my lesson. Went to Haji lane. LIke wat Paul say. .. there is really treasures there.. I decided to go treasure hunt myself.. climbing up the stairs.. to e small boutiques.. alone. I tried a few pieces.. and I manage to find a light green, translucent top.. its from KOrean.. and very Korean la.. I really like it. It's sweet.

Then i went to bugis junction. Bought another sleeveless top from LVER.. a jap inspired brand.. It's a workin top.. Then, I had lunch aka dinner at Soup Spoon. It was crowded. but managed to find seat.. so there i enjoy my "high tea" - my soup, my caesar salad, my tea.. all by myself.. and e newspaper.. I really think its the time of my life lo.. heez..

Then, I went to Vivo by default because e bus took so long to come.. Got a pair of white 3/4 crop from GAP. and a tube from Mango..

I am really amazed. I don't know what happen. Shouldn be doing this when I ve sore throat.. and my nose block.. hmm.. well well.. I really like my Sat.

Money well spent? hmm.got to face the bills soon. .. =(


Christmas party and its after effects..

I really enjoy myself. the bbq, the food , the people.. on eve itself and e day itself..

2008 New Year Resolution
7:55 PM
It seemed abit too early? It's been a good 4 years since i broke up.. and 1 and a half year into working .. soon I will be 24.

Looking back.. what have i accomplished.. I think I managed to do what I always wanted to do.. to run longer.. to go to Japan (KK, Sini, Ada.. ). To save up??? erm.. not to my expectation la..

These are just some to things that I think I want to accomplish in 2008 (not finalised yet)

Randomly..

1) To run a full marathon
2) To go Spain, Barcelona
3) To get more involved in taking charge of my career
4) To get healthier
5) To learn a language
6) To volunteer in a hospice.. (I hope I really find the time to do it)

I supposed these are the "controllables".. and fret not for those "uncontrollables"..

First dawn. There were frost on the ground.


Back from Japan
8:51 AM
Was just browsing my photos I took.. isn't that fantastic lei.. kekez.. I mean e ones with me inside.. kekez.. maybe it was freezing.. ha.. excuses..

It was really beautiful. I mean Japan. The food was okie.. the tibits were great!
But I was really tired. As it was winter time, day should be shorter right? But because we had
to get up at 6 plus which is (5 plus in singapore time).. and we normally sleep around.. 1 am.. ( 12 plus singapore time).. day after day..

The itinerary was fully packed. I really enjoy myself. Throughout the trip, there were alot
of "wows" from Sini.. and e rest ba.. But, me being me.. I just keep quiet. Not that I don't find
it beautiful.. but just not the kind who will make "loud" comments lei..
Nonetheless, the scenery was superb. Too bad, it didin't snow. We didn made to Mt Fuji. Saw it from afar.. at the foot.

I must say that going Universal Studios at Osaka was the most memorable. It was raining .. thus.. it was freezing cold. I did one of the crazy thing in my whole life. I decided to take the roller coaster.. It was my "first" time.

I never know how is it like to sit on the roller coaster esp when the big raindrops keep falling down. till i sat one. The first downslope.. I really couldn feel my heart.. when i manage to remain my composure within seconds.. the coaster just went crazy. I regretted. hah.. Guess.. this is really not my cup of tea. Cos i din want to risk my heart for beating more irregularly.. and decide to go on a strike. ha..

The whole experience in Universal studios were fantanstic.. xmas music was played loudly everywhere we go.. can really feel xmas .. students wearing accessories.. (characterers) like the clips on their hair.. they really go there to play lo.. though it was freezing .. they still wear short skirts.. high boots.. we have no idea how they really manage to withstand the cold.

**
These are just random thoughts. I like to travel. It's my first overseas trip after graduation trip to Shanghai. AFter working in Citi for 10 months..
Travelling allows me to think.. to reflect.. to not think of anything but reflect.
Maybe some may think travelling is to go play.. for all they want.. but for me .. it's rather
personal.

*
Thank for all for the help! Sorry if I rub you the wrong way.. =D

*
I forgot. Another "first" in this Japan trip. Watch AV with the guys in the room. I never
thought I am so open about it.. ha.. we did la.. It was cool. =P
