Woooohooo...

This is the time of the year where everyone starts drafting new resolution for the coming 2010. However, I think that resolution are mere guidelines or a norm at the beginning of the year. Ultimately, when life-turning opportunities surfaces, it's up to you to grab it and not let slip. That's not something that you can foresee and plan into your resolutions.

Looking back, I think its important that I reflect on what I've done in 2009. I did not come up with any resolution for 2009, at least not one which I declare that I will stick to. However, I did tell myself that it will be a good year and silently hoping for the best, especially so since I was embarking on a six months journey to the States.

However, it was not just a good year. 2009 has been an smashing and awesome year, one which I did not just waste my life away. A year which I'm proud to share and boast about. In fact, I think it's the best year I've lived so far. I'm thankful for the opportunity to do my internship in Walt Disney World and I'm glad that I had grabbed hold of it. It's so surreal that I can't believe I really done it.

I've travelled more than I've ever done so far in my 18 years of life, and the experience I've went through can never be found in any book. I've met so many different people from all around the world. They, who taught me new things (under good and bad circumstances) and changed my views in life. Besides my newfound independence and confidence, I've also came to realise who are the people that really matters and who stand by me. It was also a year of realisation...

It is also when I realised that it's best not to stand waiting foolishly for one, when they can't decide what they really want. Moving on is hard, but staying on is only foolish. Of all the bittersweet, I know I've became a stonger person.

Now, that is something I'm proud to tell everyone at the end of the year.

As I look on to 2010 with a blur, I wonder what are my opportunities ahead. As graduation approach, I've got to decide what I want to do about my life and where I want to head to. Not just me, but everyone. As all of us takes on differing path, I can only hope that no one gets too caught up in their life and lose sight of what we really want and who we really are.

Besides embarking on a path to success, another part of me wish I knew where you are because I will take flight to find you. You, who will eventually walk into my life and make me realise why it did not work out with anyone else. Even though I'm fully aware of the perks to staying single, I want to embrace the joy of falling and staying in love. Besides kinship and friendship, no other joy on earth stands equivalent to that. HAHA, what a way to end it!

Happy New Year, everyone. May this coming year be one filled with joy, success and bliss in your life :)))

it's a small small world

Boxing Day. So I may say it as the day after Christmas but I have no clue what it really is. So I asked Thomas if he knows what is boxing day.He told me that rumors has it that after Christmas, families has a lot of boxes to pack up after all the gifts... So its a day to "box-ed up", thus Boxing Day -.-

OOOOK... No doubt, I was a little skeptical (in fact, VERY)about it. Therefore since I'm bored at work, I've decided to wiki it. Wiki has it that in Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and some states of Australia, Boxing Day is primarily known as a shopping holiday. So it's Post Christmas Sale. I don't know how credible it is, because there are alot of versions of what Boxing Day is. But how is sales related to Boxing Day????

Guess what I inferred; its because these stores will also need to do alot of "box-ed up" at the end of the day. HAHAHA!!

Pardon my lousy punchline, maybe Boxing Day just meant something else.. OMGGG.. I'm so bored that I'm as lame as Thomas.

On eve, went out for Yum Cha with Weijie. I swear it is insane to do timsum buffet with only one other person. We ate so much, I had trouble walking... Then I had to sit down at this table by the street when we're out. This stupid woman came and grumbled "Eh Miss, I do business one, need to buy water then can sit down ah. I do business one horr". OKAY, FINE!! I know you're running a business but there're zero customers and I'm not hindering your business. Seriously, I wanted to use my Yield Management knowledge on her. So I had to struggle down the street and I need to sit down at every opportunity.

We headed to town after which and I snapped a picture of two friends who saw each other by coincidences. What a small world this is, to be able to bump into your friend on a street SO SO SO SO crowded. Anyway, I bought a very nice ring with leopard prints on it. Very much in love with the ring <3>

On Christmas day, I lazed around at home till Mom suggested dinner out. OK! So we headed to town, AGAIN!!! Had to deal with the crowd AGAIN!! Ate at Flying Chilies, nothing spectacular and they actually ran out of Mango with Sticky Rice. I couldn't believe it, they ruined my dessert plans.

and so I ended up eating this chendol with jackfruit thing.

Shopping wise; nothing much because I found everything over-rated and over-priced. But my brother had a whirl-wind window-shopping experience. He was going gaga and trying on all the outerwear in ZARA and Uniquo, deciding on which one to get.

Btw, I made a new discovery; NewLook has got oh-so-many shoes!!

Yup, this was what he was doing the whole day and he has his eyes set on this trench coat in Uniquo

This was how my mom look like when she complained about how much outerwear he has at home.

And so while they banter, I took pictures. HAHAHA

Okay, back to work now. Bye all, and have a good weekend :)

I woke up to raindrops splattering against my window and I cursed why the night is gone already. But I know wallowing in self-pity isn't making me any better, so I've finally dragged myself out of bed. I should have gone clubbing last night instead of staying home to accumulate brownies points.

I hope it will be a good day out today, I love to head out to the streets when the weather is good. I'm going to pull together a nice and cozy outfit, then stuff myself silly at YUMCHA. Then I'll shop the streets at Chinatown or Arab. I'm not going anywhere near madcow Orchard and get myself squashed admist the crazy crowds.

Crowds, please distance yourself from me today.

thank you very much.

Know this thing called faith? How people continue to hold a strong belief in something with no evidence?? We should applause for the courage of such people.

But when there are so many evidence which eventually led to the build up of faith; can you still overlook that possible belief?? I want to question all the belief I've held so strongly to. But I've also came to realize that ignorance is bliss.

I wonder how many people have actually wasted their time waiting for someone in vain. Sometimes just waiting or to be kept in suspense could easily be a blessing in disguise. Even if friends advised against it, and tell you its foolish because there are greener pastures.

However, when you decide that you no longer want to wait or to be kept in suspense anymore. That is when you have to muster the courage to acknowledge that the wait could possibly be in vain... And all belief can be overthrown, no matter how much faith you've once had...

Don't ask me if it's worth it. I'm still searching for the answer.

It's the last weekend before Christmas and I'm sitting on a stack of flyers at my booth, working and typing this post. The long awaited holiday is finally here. Even though I have to kiss my Ace goodbye for the Resort Management paper since I did not finish it in time, I'm glad the term is over for the time being... Headed to town with Farouk and I really want to spend my money on something but nothing seems to catch my eyes. Even the mango sales was disappointing; at least to me.

It is unimaginable how fast time flies this year. Six months in the states just went by like this, then back to school and now its the term break already. Before I know it, I'll be done with school and graduation will come. THEN! WHAT DO I DO??? I hate to imagine if I can't get a spot in the local university.

My schedule for January is TOTALLLY INSANEEE, btw!!!!

Okay, I don't really have much to say. I'm looking forward to the commencement of the week and Christmas :))

Bye y'all :))

teenage dreams in a teenage circus

I am angry at situations which may seemed to be very well-justified. Feeling angsty at situations which are so well justified that I can't rebutt leaving me with no reasons to be angry. Yet I know, I have all the rights to be angry and I want to say it out loud. But the idea of voicing it out makes me seemed ridiculous and that's the last thing I want from myself. Maybe I am frustrated because I feel too cooped up.

It may make no sense to you, so don't bother deciphering.

At the very least, it makes sense to me.

It was a very good day today, lots of food for thoughts. So, I was told I'm too soft-hearted which is why I can get pushed around easily. At least, I forgive and forget too easily and too quickly when the issues concerns the people I love. I don't know if its a bad thing to cave in too much. Maybe I just didn't want to deal with the aftermath.

I don't know if things which I do or convince myself of are merely sheer efforts on my part to grasp on tightly. Hanging on tightly to loose, thin threads.... Who knows, you may have long let go. Or worst, was never in existence.

Read as you may; but don't bother asking me the catalyst behind this post. If it struck a chord in your heart, then good for you. Like I say; its all food for thought.

BURNT AND SNAPPED!

HELLOOOO......

After almost having to burn the midnight oil, I've finally submitted six service journal and six analysis at noon. Completely relieved and exhausted.

The day was only made worst when I had to sit through two hours of decision sciences about some constraints and yield management. Then additional assignments were given to us due this friday because we're too slow in our learning.

A blank document now awaits me and the blinking cursor kept prompting me to start working on my marketing analysis for entrepreneur due later this week on friday.

At the back of my mind, I kept thinking if I should go look through my role play script and think of some buffer to save me from my teacher's attack tomorrow. So tell me; which should I do now?!?!?!

It an endless cycle of projects and assignments all shoved to us. We can have two to three assignments due on a day, how crazy is that! I feel like a rubber band right now; stretched and I just hope I don't snap anytime soon.

I wanna go party this Wednesday so I need to buck up and complete my work. The dance floor and Lady Gaga is ushering me to join in. I can feel it in my bones... i just need to complete my work first... ROARRRRRRR
