Long time no see, my dear friend. Let's have a cuppa while we chat.

You ask me how I am? To that I can only answer "great". I'm well aware that it is the generic response but I cannot deny the truth. It's the new year, after all, and that demands a new beginning and a fresh outlook on life.

31st of December passed by in a whirl, despite our 15 hour camp in the blistering heat for the midnight fireworks. The 12mins of extraordinary made it all worthwhile. I think that serves as a good example for alot of things in life. The path may be long and tedious, but hey, that makes victory all the sweeter. I was going to take photos for future references but then I decided to just live it. If it is amazing enough, it'll be imprinted on my mind for quite a while :). Which takes me to another New Year's Reso - to just enjoy and appreciate life! YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE.

I've decided to learn to cook this year. Yes, my fulfilment of womanly duties have been long impending but it shall no longer be prolonged. Believe it or not, I've cooked dinner every night since New Years :). I know its not much but hey, got to start somewhere right?

What else is on the agenda? Driving of course (oh dear, evacuate the roads). Going to book an instructor tomorrow and conquer my astronomic fear of being behind the wheel.

And then there's the whole job-hunting business. I sincerely hope that those sneaky jobs are merely ambushing behind them bushes and waiting to pounce my way because so far my hunt has been rather futile. I shall be empty-handed no longer! I will search through the deepest crevices for that one and only. You just wait you little snitch.

To welcome the new year, I've also finally cleaned out my wardrobe! (along with my room). The end result? 3 massive bags of old clothes destined for charity and a superrrrrrrrr-tidy little space.

Excuse my pathetic pose.

I think I might start doing some charity work as well. Soup kitchen last year was a one-off heartwarming experience and I hope to be more involved in the community this year. Dad always said giving is a blessing so :)

Also, I was thinking of gaining some good hard muscle on my tummy this year by exercising 2-3 times a week (none of that hardcore lifting business). To compliment this, I think I might join a dance class. PLEASE COME LEARN WITH ME! Tuesday night, hiphop at Parra.

In addition, I seek get back into reading, music and the arts this year. Gna dust off my antique piano and blast out some tunes! (if I'm still capable) I also want to learn a few nice songs on guitar but this will be a long process. Or maybe I'll busk one day with someone who can sing reallllllllllllllly well to mask my lack of guitaring abilities. Venturing into photography has also been a long dream of mine but that can wait until I get an SLR :)

And finally, LOVE THY FAMILY, FRIENDS AND FOES ALIKE! SEIZE THE DAY!!!!!!

Would you like more sugar with that?
