2008/2009 (part 2!)

(continued!) :D

30th Dec, Tuesday
Went back to school for handbells it was so fun! Sae Rah was back and she taught us many Korean phrases ahhh!!!!!! It was mostly me asking her "how do you say <insert phrase> in Korean!!" the rest weren't really bothered. Oh man. Korean girl right in front of you, and you don't even want to learn korean?!
After that bummed around at Giselle's place before going to Simply Bread for book exchange! The funniest conversation at Giselle's place:
Gissy's mum: G? Whose shoes are these outside the door?
Giselle: Oh those are Priscilla's.
Gissy's mum: Oh she lent them to you?
Giselle: No...Priscilla is here! In our house.

I should make Gis tell her mum everytime I decide to crash next time. I told Cherry while walking out after handbells "yeahh I'm going to meet my friend. We have this book exchange thing. We read books, and then we exchange, and then we talk and discuss about them" and she gave me the "you are totally a loser" stare

. For the record, I only read them. Discussing is mostly me clearing my doubts about the book. We do not disect the book and analyse it the way we do for F451. That night, with my new stash of books, it was time to, well, hit the books haha.

31st Dec, Wednesday
Nothing much! Watchnight service at church, boys had the impromtu soccer match (at 11pm?!), and I went impromtu prawning at Farmart. It was fun, even though I didn't manage to catch any prawns. For me it was mostly drinking beer/green tea they looked the same no one cared whos cups were whose and me disecting fish for bait since I couldn't catch any prawns. Reason number1 being I suck and reason number2 being I am afraid of animals so if I catch the prawn and it is in midair I'll probably freak out and drop the prawn anyway. For the record, I didn't get drunk/high/wasted/lobster red thus I conclude I have a moderately high alcohol tolerance level

Got a lift from Joshua and ended up reaching home at 5am. My latest in my entire life. See I'm such a good girl (:.
Pictures of prawning yay!

The little dog that licks people. Obviously I didn't go near it haha.

Cutting the bait. It was seriously gross and smelly ugh.

Cooking the lone prawn. It was the last prawn we caught!

Our "quite pathetic" haul.

1st Jan 2009, Thursday
Slept most of it away heh. Then I just watched House and declared Chase my new eye candy, and finished reading a book! And finished doing my organiser. I'm all geared up for 2009! The book was so well written, I almost cried. Not because the author described something like my personal experience that made me think about my sad moments and thus cry, but because the author was able to vividly portray the character's feelings, to write about them in the whole book such that you feel so much for them and when they are sad you feel their sadness too. Plus it was a really good plot. I am going to recommend it to my book friend and buy it over from the friend that lent it to me. New year resolution number1: Buy over book and lend book to my closet bookworm friend..

2nd Jan, Friday
Went back to MGS! Saw Nat nat and Nic and Mandy and Dee and other teachers. Joycelyn fetched her younger sister back from p1 so cute! Lunched at KFC and then Nic and I went to Giselle's house and we surprised Gis cos Nic wasn't supposed to come. The reason I bum around at Giselle's place a lot is that her house is relatively near everywhere which my house is nowhere near anywhere. Sigh. So everytime I'm going two places in one day, I'll end up spending time with one of my best friends and I'm certainly not complaning with that. (:

All three of us got a ride to Cheryl's house where April was already there and we played Pictionary and Taboo and more Pictionary and truth or dare and surprised Zt lol. It was just like our mornings in 3e, except with aircon and without school uniform

Then it was dinner with ~~Monica~~ Gerald Ziteng. Monica couldn't make it so that was sad ):, but hopefully that girl will come down for handbells so I can meet her (BIG HINTTTTT) but Gloria and Xinwei came along for a while so that was funny. And new year resolution number2: eat more so that I can get bigger boobs (haha gloria....)

Which kinda has been good because I'm keeping to my resolution! I ate more than Austyn in one meal, and never skipped any meal so far (so far I mean since mid December!) and after dinner (pasta mania) I ate YaKun Kaya Toast lol.

And when I got home....I FOUND MY INTERNET WORKING!!! Amazing way to end the day ma! This is awesome.

Because everyone is making resolutions, here is my 2009 resolution list to keep to. It should be fairly easy, since these are mostly small things. (Hey, as they always say, start by taking small steps right?)

New year resolution number3: Cut down on brackets in my posts. As you can tell, I have a bad habit of putting lots of brackets in my posts. It's like useless comments that people can do without but I want to waste time and put it there for fun. Almost like I'm having a monologue but whatever.
New year resolution number4: Learn a new instrument
New year resolution number5: Keep up with my "one book a week" target. I know of people who definitely read more than me. But for someone who isn't a fast reader and who only got into the habit of reading in 2007, this is enough for me. I didn't manage to do that in 2008 because my mum banned me from reading since 3 weeks before prelims, and after o's it was just a whole lot of going out I guess I neglected reading. So I finished off 2008 with 40.5 books. 0.5 because I didn't really read that book very thoroughly heh.
New year resolution number6: Cut down on my sms bill. Enough said.
New year resolution number7: Spend less money. It's a recession year, and I wanna do my part in being a good daughter (:
New year resolution number8: Do well in jc/poly. Okay this is not a simple resolution. It's incredibly tough!

Forget resolutions. (Just kidding I really do intend to keep them. Maybe not no3 for now sigh). But I did the quiz on blogthings and here's what I got.

You Should Make 1 Resolution

Get Fit

What Should You Resolve to Change Next Year?

Oh great. Therefore:
New year resolution number9: GET FIT.

In retrospect, I really thank God for 2008. I got to know a lot of people on a deeper level, esp Police. We only started talking in 2008, even though we've known each other since I was born. Yeah I was born a year later but whatever I'm still as matured as 999! And of course my best friend Seeyue, the SS101, Angela, everyone in 4E, and all my new friends and all my old friends, you know I cherish our friendship when we talk on msn/sms more than twice in a month, and not because of a project or homework. You've comtributed into making my life that much happier and better, and I wouldn't want to type every name there's no point boasting how many people you know(:

Looking forward, I want to trust God in bringing me through this year, it's going to be scary. I can feel it. Lol.

Anyway I'm awful tired so goodnight everyone! (:
