2006

I haven't posted much for the last few weeks, so since I've got plenty of time right now, I write a little more. Trying to make up for the lost of time.

Anyway, 2006 is just two days away. I'm not over excited about it. Nope, no feelings at all. Probably just a little bitter about having to work over the count down. But from what I recall, I am usually hooked online or sleeping my way thru the 3-2-1. I did celebrate the millenium with my cousins until 4am. Thats about the most happening of all my new years.

Right now, as 2006 is nearing on us, many will be busy thinking of their new year's resolution. I have made up my mind on one. I resolve to, not making any resolutions. *clap clap cheer cheer* So brilliant the idea, ain't it? Hahaha...

The reason is just because I can't discipline myself to keep those resolutions. Seriously if you were to ask me, I can't even recall what resolutions I made last year. And half way through year 2004, I had to be reminded by a friend the resolution I so strongly made on 1st January 2004. Its embarassing when someone else remembers it for you. Really...

Although I won't be making any resolutions for 2006, I would like to set some goals for the coming year. Don't question me on the difference. It is different!

My goals for 2006:

  • To save a sufficient amount, in case of an undecided future
  • To pay off my education loan in advance
  • To learn a new language *hopefully*

Hmm..Three goals only. I expected more out of myself. But nevermind, I can always add to it when I think of other things to achieve. This will have to do for now.

Here is wishing my family and friends a healthy and wealthy year ahead!~

^.^\/ --> thats a peace sign

Entertaining Myself (Vol.1, Part 1)

Will the washing machine be over worked if I put it to use for four times in a day?
Hmm...it might you know, it might. I think if it gets a break in between, it should be fine.

Why everytime you get a craving for fish soup, the stall is not opened?
Erm...maybe the auntie and uncle go for second honeymoon. Too busy to cook for you today.

Will your eyes grow smaller if you sit in front of the computer the whole day?
Good question. I don't know, but my eyes does feel smaller. ^.^

Can you think of anymore questions to ask yourself?
Not at the moment.

Post Christmas Post

*Ish...

Christmas is over...just like that. Mine was a boring one. Didn't get to countdown, didn't get to open presents, didn't get to eat a proper dinner. No friends, no family. So boring. I was overseas, what to do? Would've thought it'll be more interesting in UK. But it wasn't. Every single shop was closed for celebration. So happening~ *throws confetti over self and applauds*

So tired...(again)

I'm so tired again. My whole body is aching. The ache is so bad its as though I was thrown out of the car, into a tree, fell to the ground, rolled down the hill, and hit onto a rock.

*pauses to think* Okay, that was abit drama, but that is to put more depth into this whole body aching thing.

I need to go lie on the bed. Goodnite. *moves slow-mo, with hand behind waist, onto my beloved bed*

So tired...

I know some of you are going to say that I'm like 'hangat-hangat tahi ayam' with this blog. Cause I just started it not too long ago and I took such a looOoong break before I update it again. It's really not my fault.

I came back from a super long trip then went back to KL to spend my precious off days. Last time in KL before I moved out, I used to hog the computer. But now, moved out, everything gone. Computer also brother and sister take turns to hog *shakes head sadly* So, how to update blog?

Anyway, I just came back from KL and I gotta go for work tomorrow morning.

Goodnite. My bed is calling to me *jumps slow- mo onto my beloved bed*

PS: Slow-mo = Slow Motion

I Am Hopeful

Previously, I bugged my siblings and Julian yeh yeh a whole lot about what to name my blog. On and on I kept pestering them for new ideas, contributions and opinions. Worse than naming your own offspring I say.

Finally, I named it Hopeful Moments, myself. I don't know why. Maybe I felt I needed hope. And the blog address was named, imhopeful. Maybe because I felt hopeful at that moment. Then, Yeemai had to comment on it. "Aiyer, you cannot be helped la. Should've named your blog address imhopeless. Hahaha!" So motivating ya Yeemai? Thanks indeed! Ha Ha Ha...

But part of myself thinks that she is right. I seem so hopeless, to my friends, colleagues and maybe my family. I can only change the way they think of me if I change myself. *ish, mah farn betul* So much work to make people think right about me.

So now, I tell you, para hadirin sekalian, I AM HOPEFUL ok! Means I still can be helped and please believe it! Stop making fun of me already...

*PS: I will be away for a while, so don't make too much noise if I stop posting for the week*

Thank you for your audience.

*Yawn*...Another Day

I've developed bad sleeping habits since I left home to stay on my own. I sleep like there's no day and no night. It's really awful, cause when the after effect kicks in, you become lazy, anti-social and lazy...
Talk about it, this was what I did the whole day yesterday:
5.00 AM - Came back from work
6.00 AM - All showered and putting laundry into machine
7.00 AM - Hung up laundry (yay, no one to fight with me for poles today! Haha) and went to bed
1.00 PM - Cancelled plans for karaoke and went back to sleep
5.30 PM - Finally woke up
6.00 PM - Watched VCDs
7.00 PM - Went downstairs to tp dinner
7.10 PM - Had dinner over more VCDs
1.30 AM (6th Dec) - Writing a blog entry after all the VCDs
So unhealthy right. Sleep so much during the day, then stay up the whole night and the whole routine starts again. Sigh...

Dear Brother...

Happy Birthday kid! Finally you turn 16. I was going to wish you Happy Sweet 16th if you were a girl. So instead, just a Happy 16th Birthday will have to do I guess. So sorry I won't be able to call you today. But you've already received my present, so don't make a fuss.

All grown up already. But I'm still older than you, therefore, I'll never ever stop nagging you. Just hope that you'll be good and grow up well. Work hard for what you want, I'll give you my support. Best wishes to you on your birthday ok! See you when I come back next. Have fun!

Lots of Love,
-Your Loving Sis-

The Things I Like About Christmas...

Whoo~ Christmas is just about a month away. After coming in contact with snow for the first time in my life, I have never been more excited about Christmas than right now. I'm totally 'dreaming of a white christmas' (but that obviously won't happen here in Asia, so note to self: the word is dreaming).

Even though I'm not a Christian or a Catholic, but I totally love Christmas! And these are the reasons why I lurvvvv it so much!

The decorations everywhere are just so lovely and beautiful. And for once I won't hate the red and green colours.

The screening of old christmas cartoons on tv is certainly something to look forward to. Even if I don't usually wake up early in my adult life, I won't mind doing it just to watch Donald fighting with the chipmunks or Mickey getting ready for Christmas. Ha ha ha...

I just put up a Christmas tree not measuring more than a meter together with my housemate. Its small, but still fun hanging the ornaments and all.

You get to see all types of Santa Clauses. Fat ones, skinny ones, tall and short ones. Its weird and very confusing for kids especially those who like to believe that Santa is staying in Antartica with his whole bunch of elves and a toy making factory.

Christmas shopping can be a hassle to some but also joy to some others. Its 50/50 for me. But its nice shopping during Christmas because you get to see alot of interesting items on display.

I've also made an exception to enjoy wrapping presents for Christmas. Queing up at departmental stores for free wrapping is obviously the easy way out. But I don't mind sitting down with tapes, scissors and wrapping papers for just this once in the 365 days. Anyone who needs the service can kindly proceed to contact my mobile. I charge per present, unless you have one whole load of it, maybe I can charge you package deal instead. *winks*

I've been lucky enough to be able to celebrate Christmas with my aunts and uncles in Singapore. They usually get together over a Christmas dinner, involving salads, roasted turkey, a whole huge leg of ham, potatoes, BBQ-ed chicken wings and other mouth watering dishes.

But I'm sure anyone would agree with me that the most anticipated part of tis' season is the spirit of giving, which means presents. Presents are the most important thing during Christmas. It really doesn't have to be an expensive gift. Its the gesture of exchanging gifts that makes it meaningful.

There are so many other things I like about Christmas. Anything and everything about it just gives me a very warm and fuzzy feeling. I hope my friends and family will enjoy it as much as I do.

Merry Christmas! Ho Ho Ho~

Haih~

Staying out away from family really isn't so fun everytime. When you are on your own, its true you have your own personal space and privacy. But when it comes to falling sick, you would rather there is someone there for you. Someone to pamper you, to take care of you and tell you you'll be fine. It sucks when you feel weak and unable to do anything. And when you are sick, sometimes you just don't think right. Haih~

Dear housemate, I know you feel awful now. But I really am no mother. Have no idea how to take care of you. The most I can do is accompany you to a doctor's and make sure you take your medication. I really hope it isn't food poisoning caused by the pasta tonight. It'll only make me feel worse. I'll probably never ever cook again (not like I ever cook much). Just get well soon.

Slow slow...

Today is just like any other day. But...
*tsk tsk tsk*
I'm so super slow. Supposed to put up this blog like last year but I only got to it today. Even my housemate who got to learn about blogs later than me and thru me, has already started one of
her own. Talk about being slow... Oh well, the thing is, I've finally got one I can call my own. In the future, this will serve as a time filler for me. Until then....
