WELCOME 2006!

I'm glad to wave goodbye to 2005, a year of ups and downs, good and bad. I'm looking forward to the new year and i have faith that it would be a good one.

guess its now time to sum up the year and set some resolutions. I know i'm kinda slow and should've done it before the year ended but i guess its better late than never.

i guess its apt to start with the bad things first...

the bad:

• the breakup in april
  
• suffering from severe heartbreak for the rest of the year
  
• got admitted to hospital on suspected apendicitis
• cried way past my quota of tears allocated for a year
• had to sit by a few of my good friends as they suffered the same fate: breakups (2005 is such a breakup year)
  

the good:

• the breakup in april
• finding out that some things never did change, and some things will change for the better in the future
• my dear cousin Mel got engaged
• mama kate's wedding
  
• was kinda 'promoted' to editor-in-chief by default
• opened my eyes and found out who my real friends are, making new friends and catching up with old friends
  
• the journey towards real happiness
• finally got my diving cert! *new!
  

haha, maybe i am an eternal optimist, though the year was really hard to endure and sucky for most part, i did somehow come up with more good points than bad. I am thankful that i didn't let the bad get to me for the later part of the year and i am proud of who i still am...

so, my resolutions for the coming year (that i usually do not keep but i will try my darnest) are:

• Arrive early/on time for work
• Try to work out at least once a week
• Keep my weight consistent (as in consistently low..ha)
  
• Eat less fried food and more healthy food (that means buh-bye KFC)
  
• Learn to listen better
  
• Plan my time wisely
• Save more
• Keep learning every single day, gain new knowledge about the things around, or the people around.
• Love unconditionally

well all in all, i am glad to be able to spend the turn of the new year with really great company (see below) . It was so much fun and just the perfect way to send away a horrid year and usher in the new...

May 2006 be a year filled with love, life and laughter for everyone...
