ALIVE
For the first time in what feels like forever, I finally feel alive again! Today. 20/1/12.


Maybe it's cause I played tennis with Amanda- trust me, running after balls/ dodging stray balls that come too close to your face totally counts for exercise. Or maybe it was cause I realised that no matter how much of a letdown your week has been so far, spending some quality time with close friends somehow makes it all ok. Like how antiseptic wash makes a wound better. Except, of course, without the pain factor. (Ok, I realised that this analogy doesn't exactly paint a pretty mental picture, but you get my point. Besides, it's original!) Which led me to make a resolution for 2012, which honestly, is a breakthrough moment if you ask me, cause I have NEVER made any real new year resolutions before in my life. Only those that I was forced to make and never kept. My fake promised resolutions usually go something like this:

Friend/parent/teacher/whoever(FPTW): So what's your new year's resolution?

Me: Mmm *tries to laugh question off*

FPTW: You mean you don't have one?! *shocked/slightly put off face*

Me: Yeah I do. I'm going to go jogging more.



Which, never works out cause I hate running for fun. Even if it's supposed to build stamina blah blah blah. Really. I've already realised a long time ago that achieving stamina is way out of reach. Anyway, back to the main point. My resolution for 2012: Maintain contact with ALL of my close friends. Sounds totally cheesy right, like those exact words from any Hallmark card. But I made it my resolution cause I realised that I have some really awesome friends in my life, and I don't ever want that to change :)

Pilot (Just like the start of any good tv series)
SO.
I've decided to revive my blog, sans the posts which I wrote in sec school.
Took a trip down memory lane when I re-read my posts from then, and I can't believe how funny (and bimbotic) I sound in all of them. Ergh. Total cringe-worthy material.

ANYWAY.
Cny's coming up, and I'm gonna be back in Malaysia(what's new?) for that. Can't wait to see my cousins and all, but I've always wondered how a cny at home here would feel like. There never have been the need to rush off immediately from school celebrations in order to avoid the massive traffic jam on the causeway, no missed party invites from friends, and probably a whole lot less of extended family gossip. I guess I've always wanted to have my cny here- a calm affair comprising just the five of us. But I guess that's not really the point of cny, is it? Then again, come to think of it, if I had never spent my cnys in Malaysia, I would have never been able to do crazyawesome stuff like set off my own fireworks( much better seeing them up close than from a distance) and ride my own motorbike. Damn, hate it when philosophy manages to encapsulate your experiences!

This just in: Job offer in sight! Fingers crossed!
