Hola! 4 days into the new year and yet, I still have the 'feel' that it's year 2010. Lolx!
To me, I believe that this will be a very challenging & exciting year. It must be a better year! A turning point at this time and some significant changes.
Starting to feel annoyed at my braces. Dislike the poking and discomfort inside my mouth most of the time. Dislike sounding so funny/awkward. Hate that the food is forever stuck in between somewhere which requires extra effort (go to toilet or be thick-skinned to use dental floss to remove food particles). When I made that decision, I did prepare myself mentally for what's about to come. Still, I wish that my dentist is more efficient! Lolx..sounded like I had suffered for a long period of time when in actual fact, I estimate that it would require AT MOST 1.5 years for me to attain perfect straight teeth (in total..meaning a few more mths to go).
Sometimes I really think that some people tends to focus too much on 'superficial/surface' stuff that they neglect/ignore the real important contents. Traditional thinking is best kept for appropriate situations and not forcefully used in today's modern society. Either keep up with changes or let changes overtake you.
The best part about decision-making process? I know I will not regret making them(my decisions) =) Well, maybe sometimes I still do wonder about my decision to straighten my teeth..hahaha!! (I missed my old smile terribly..and there were moments where I thought my old smile looks better than current)
I cant wait!! I cant wait.. :)
A good start of the year- Exciting January!

40 more days to a BRAND new year -> 2011.
Cant wait becos a new year = changes = more exciting!!! Haha..plus, I'm totally stressed out abt my upcoming exams. So I really look forward to next year.
Quite excited..a little bit nervous too. And scared. Ahahaha..so many feelings all at once!
Hope I'll realize a few of my dreams/wishes next year. Hee..shall not reveal here. Up til now, I think 2010 has been a 'quite-bad' year for me. The prev year wasnt as bad =( I was really lucky to realize part of my dream to travel around the world in 2010 though. I dont foresee myself travelling next year, which is rather depressing. Haha! Oh well, there's always another time :)
3 of our 11 beloved 'babies' died respectively in Sep, Oct & Nov. :'( I miss them. And I hope they have met in heaven. How I wish our 'babies' can live longer. 2-3 years is too short!!
Been trying hard to stay happy & think positively. Went through some bad experiences and events. I've paid a price for learning lessons in life. Disappointments seem to be common in my dictionary right now. But the thing is, should I even have expectations of them in the first place??? I felt even sadder when I'm already disappointed with someone, and I see that another person (I cared alot) is also disappointed at that someone. I wanted to help, but what can I do?? I feel helpless when logic and reason doesnt work out with some ppl. I wonder if anyone has felt the same way as me..that if everybody is selfish, at the end of the day no one will benefit from it. Oh well, certain things really cant be forced. Either accept or give up.
The "heck care attitude in life" applies successfully only for certain things, definitely not everything!
My sec sch teacher once said this, "I will not ask you to respect me. Instead, I will earn your respect." Thinking back about what he has said, I agree to the fullest extent with his statement. Indeed, respect is to be earned. I think a common misconception is that ppl associate respect with authority & seniority. You might disagree with me. And you can disagree with me. But pls understand that everyone is entitled to their opinions, whether or not they are right. RESPECT is still a very profound subject for many..

It's over! Had a very blessed birthday with wishes from family, friends, classmates.. =) Thank you!
Just booked 2 important dates- 13th & 14th Dec 2010. (Mon & Tues) I cant wait to get over it!!! It's really over..(fun)..oh well, haiz. At least I had a few unforgettable travelling memories this year. But human is greedy. We are hardly satisfied. Hiak hiak =X I wish I can travel alone with my love. I wish I can go on another trip soon..Eyeing HK, Taiwan, Japan, China @_@ It's ok to dream tho. As long as I can afford to.
There are a few things that I really want to accomplish. But hmm..there's such thing called Opportunity Cost, which I have to bear in mind. Oh well, same old thing; Prioritize, prioritize, prioritize!
Suddenly, 2011 seems like a better year. More exciting! ;)

Witnessed something quite terrible recently. But really, I asked myself why do I care so much for someone who is not related to me? I felt quite frustrated that she was so unappreciative and she even had the thinking that whatever well-meant advices were actually STUPID. Seriously, I don't regret because I know that I had done my best for us and I acknowledged that there is a limit to what I can do for others. Sometimes the most effective way to learn, is through the hard way. You will wake up only at the last moment.
I have been thinking a lot about raising children recently. In the past, what I thought of children was that they were so adorable and innocent. They still are, to a certain extent. But I think I have a wider perspective of seeing kids now. Like what if your kids take up the wrong path (become drug addicts)..mix with bad company..rebellious..talk back..dont give a damn about their future..seek alot of attention..has very poor health, etc. The worse is, when you fail to teach your own kids well. It's quite demoralizing, I feel. It affected me to the extent that I almost gave up the idea of having kids in future. Haha!! I guess I really take it too hard. Parents may play a large role in the upbringing of children, but there's 30-40% where it depends on the child's own will and the surroundings. Of course, there is alot more to learn on this topic. And I still have time for that.
What I dont have time for, is to attend a few language courses, go for yoga/pilates/dance classes, travel around the world, meet up with my cousins and play with my cute little nephews & nieces (they are gonna forget me soon. sob!), take up cooking class & music lessons, etc. Sometimes, time passes so fast. Other times, so slow!!!
The past few days I had 2 similar nightmares: my hamsters died! Oh man. When it happened the first time, I was crying so hard in the dream and I could still rem after I woke up. I hate to have such nightmares!!! Luckily it was just nightmare and not for real.

In a few hours' time, it will be 1st September 2010. Happy Teacher's Day to all the kind and patient teachers in the world! :)
My favourite month is coming! I'm both excited and happy. It's an extremely busy month for me. Gonna be alot of meet-ups too.
Sidetrack abit, I sort of came up with my own quote which I like alot; " to get angry with a fool is to become a fool myself too." So when you come across someone who purposely spike u for no reason/weird reason, think of the quote I came up with. The best is, to smile and just ignore the person for he/she doesn't deserve more attention than required.
My schedule for Sept..(busy busy busy!):
4th Sept (Sat): Mel
5th Sept (Sun): SW
8th Sept to 12 Sept: AWAY
15th Sept (Wed): Ling?
17th Sept (Fri): BH
18th Sept (Sat): Clare../Yan..
25th Sept (Sat): Dentist/Rian../Ris
That's all I can think of now. Hope I didnt miss out any date(s).
