Happy 2011!!
Happy indeed. That's the most important and ultimate aim I hope to achieve in 2011 and hopefully in all the years ahead.
At the beginning of 2010, I didn't make any resolutions, because at that time, I thought that what was the point to make resolutions only not to fulfil them. In addition, resolutions shouldn't me made only during the beginning of the year. It should be a constant activity.
This year will be slightly different. Instead of resolutions stating exactly what I want to do, it would be the attitude that I will have. I hope to have the persistance, the patience in everything I do. I hope to be able to overcome no matter what obstacles there are, to transform any ordeals into opportunities, and also to take reasonable risks so as to discover and fully extend my capacilities. I also wish that I am more discipline to do the things I should do, as well as having financial discipline.
And as always, I wish everyone health and happiness in the new year and treasure every moment of life!

And So It's 2010
I guessed Ihave gotten over with all the hype over the new year. Well it's just another day with the dates changing, that's all. We experienced that every single day, and we don't celebrate everyday, don't we? That's why I don't see why there is such a big countdown hoo-hah in so many places.
Probably we all need excuses to party. It is a good way to relieve our stresses and emerge ourselves in the festive mood. It is a way to reward ourselves for our hard work put in (and an avenue to spend our hard earned money). Having said that, I still think the new year is just another day, and probably more shit is lining ahead.
Since I am at the topic of the new year, it reminds me about making resolutions. If my memory doesn't fail me, I think I have made some resolutions for 2009 (I am lazy to check back my previous blog posts), one of the resolutions is to organise more gatherings to meet up with my friends.
I dare to say that I have that in mind the whole while throughout 2009 and have been intitating get togethers whenever possible. Plus, trying to meet my friends when any gatherings are initiated by others, as much as possible. But after having trying to initiate and get people together, I have realised somethings, which may not be as positive. Once you start doing that, people start to take you for granted in organinsing get togethers. I think for the past 2 or 3 months or so, I have been getting smses like "Hey lets meet up. Can you sms the others?" Actually I am perfectly fine with that. But at times, I am really held up either with work or other commitments that I cannot make it for that outing. Then the problem comes. The failure to organise get togethers or even smsing people or to be there will deem as I not being active or unwilling to meet up with my friends.
AND that is the reason why I stop making any resolutions for 2010. I guess I just live the my life as it is. I will still do the things I want to do, still meeting friends as usual, and I still love the people around me but I guess organising get togethers will not be my top priority in 2010. People have their other halves to be with, and so who am I to interrupt?
Oh well, it's the new year anyway. I shouldn't be so agitated.
There are things I want to do, but it's not because its the new year and I want to fulfil some goals. It just happens that this sudden burst of wanting to do things happen now.
And there it is. My first post for the new year.
Happy (belated) new year people.

2009 New Year Resolutions?
I think one of the new year resolutions that everyone should consider and make is to look back at the previous year's resolutions and make sure that most, if not all, of the resolutions have been fulfilled. I was looking through some of my friends' blogs and reading their resolutions for 2009. Then, I thought about mine. Nothing really struck me, but it is important to have something I want to achieve so that I will improve. I will think about that tomorrow (hopefully) as being in front of the television doesn't help to clear my mind to think about this carefully.
December has been a month of many gatherings, house parties, shopping and unsettled emotions. Christmas happens to be in the month of December, and that explains the shopping and all. The parties include the one at JJ's house with my NUS Chem Engin class, CN4A. And there was also the christmas chalet and BBQ at Pasir Ris PA Holiday Resort with my primary school gang. The last party was at Cheryl's house with my dear friends from Resonance. All these are captured in the photos in Facebook.
New year's eve was spent quite peacefully, with lunch with Siandy and dinner with Merv. The new year has a healthy start for me, as I went for a run in the morning.
After working for these few months, I really need to think if this engineering job suits me. Some of the people around told me that I should work for a longer period to really understand the nature of the job. Then again, I think, is it the company? The company is actually rather welfare already. Maybe it's the cold environment. I really need to think about this carefully.
Although I haven't really considered what I want to achieve for 2009, but I do know that I need to be more patient, have more determination, and not let the people affect the person I already am or change my personality. I need to be more assertive, and yet be more considerate. And most importantly, I need to have more self confidence.
Now, the issue is how I am going to achieve all that. I need clearer descriptions and directions.
Meanwhile, just let me watch my TV.
Happy New Year!

The New Year
2008 has been a year of change and growing up. It is also a year of emotional roller coaster and also a year of personal achievements. Just before the clock strike twelve and we welcome 2009, I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year, and hopefully 2009 will be a better year than 2008, and everyone would just be happy and healthy.

Welcome 2008!
2008 is finally here. In this new year, I have a few resolutions, which hopefully I can fulfill them. I hope I will be happier, spend more time with my families and friends, have more determination in whatever I do, be a much fitter person, find a good job and earn more money, and always try to look at the positive side of things.
2007 has been a year of growing and learning, and I hope I will continue learning and growing and remember what I have learned. I will also try to continue the many things I have initiated, like the design blog, and the energy I have in 2007.
2007 ended with a birthday celebration at Derek's house, with food (and more food), phototaking, singing, etc. It's the 3rd time we celebrated his birthday with potluck, and as usual, the fun and laughters! After that, I rush to my NUS class chalet at Pasir Ris, which is at the other part of Singapore as Derek's place is at Clementi. I know it's crazy, but I think this is one of the seldom crazy things I do! Anyway it's the last year of the year! Fortunately I reached just before 12am, and able to countdown with the class peeps. After that, it's mahjong, which I've lost, gossiping, playing bridge. I left at 7am to go back my home sweet home to sleep!
