Happy New Year, 2009!

The year 2008 has brought a lot of experience in my life and now another year adds on, so will the years of experience life will bring forth to me.
Ups and downs within the year of the rat was really a valuable one.
The countless time of happiness the year brought will truly be a good remedy when the bitterness surface anytime near future.
However, the bitterness experienced in year 2008 was truly a good lesson learnt.
And yes, we all should take the initiative to reflect how we were in the previous year so as better ourselves for the new year that already has entered our lives.

I ended the year with a little bit of disappointment and a little bit of sadness.
However, i realise that it's within the heart that we feel our loved ones no matter they may be.
On christmas night, i teared because i missed the christmas that i spent in my birth country, and im utterly envious of mum that she's there to celebrate.
Also, it was quite sad for me too cos Shenath was away for 2 weeks to his birth country.
There he celebrated his christmas together with his family, complete and happy.
Despite missing him terribly, i have to be happy for him because at least his family is complete for the special occasion.

I must admit, two weeks of not being with him was a bit of a headache due to worrying.
But somehow we finally came to and now that he's back.
We are really going to enjoy every moment we can drive each other nuts.

Well, being in a long term commitment is never easy for me but he makes it easy enough.
He's a good boyfriend with ubber lousy moods and a very gentle aura of kindness about him.
And i know that last part sounds gay but my man is one of those alpha males.
Although alpha males arent ALL good to my personality, there are better than feminine males. haha

So anyway, for these holiday all i did was work, stay home, babysit, work again - and the cycle goes on.
Well, thank GOD my health hasn't really detriorated.
Im still okay but i need a good rest soon. Ima have to go now too.

Today spent a good day with Shenath after fetching him from the airport. And after the fun, we had lunch and decided to go home to our houses and rest/nap.
At night we met again with Aunt Sarah along, brought her to Afghanistan and Mr Teh Tarik.
Had a good chit chat.
Tomorrow she'll be flying back to Sri Lanka and i know she's going to miss Singapore again being a Singaporean.
She's a nice lady, my mum should meet her, then they can cook me and shenath a great feast! hahahaha (:

Well, i have to retire now.
Good night.


The first steps to renewing my life for 2009?
- Keeping a PHYSICAL daily planner (DYI style)
I received a Christmas present from Hid with my MODEL picture on it and i transformed that to a daily planner! together with income and expenditures as well as my installment payments for my handphone bill debts with Singtel and M1.

- Set myself short term goals (which i called 3-month-goals)
There 3MGs will build the big picture of changes for my NYG(new year goals)
I do hope i stick by it cos i'm loving the feeling of being at least a little bit in control with the happenings around me

- Write down the things i want to purchase for myself or for others
This will help me to not buy on impulse and assess if i can afford them or not.
I do hope this will work cos i really do not like the idea of bankruptcy that i encountered in year 2008.

Talked too long again... Well, ciaos!
