3 days to 2007
Just when we get used to writing 2006 on forms, 2007 comes along...
Looking back, i can't say its been a bad year, but neither can i say its a wonderful year....
Well, good news were that i finally completed my uni grad studies, though the final semester's grade wasn't that well... (2 Cs [Credits] to my transcript). You could say i deserved that grade, since i practically slacked my way through those semesters...
When i completed my studies, i was blessed with an-almost immediate job offer... from the place i was working part-time data coding clerk... but now, as a data processing programming... assistant. Not too bad for a start.
There (and i'm still there, so i'll be referring it as "here" henceforth), i befriended many great people, and took another nice young gal under my wings of protection...and also had a big sis to help me out too :). Working with them was (and still is) a wonderful experience.
I officially graduated from my degree on 9th September... the day i was brought to this world by my somewhat naggy, but yet great and wonderful parents. I got my degree from the dean officially a few minutes after my time of birth, so it was the ultimate bestest birthday gift i'll ever get... unless i get married & die on that day...
I made a pact with a very close friend, which was when we both hit 28, we'll give both a chance, and if it works out, we'll get married... at that moment, i had actually wished for it to happen immediately... but now, i see all the imperfections that i am, and i truely hope that she can get along with her current guy and get hitched...
This year also marks the first time i helped a total stranger, and in doing so, i made a great friend. :)
Christmas came and gone... many gifts were given, and many gifts were recieved... this was my first "office" christmas, and i kinda overspent on the gifts... but what the heck, its all for the smiles when they get their gifts..
Sounds above-average?
This year marks the 25th lonely Valentines i spent... out of the 25 years of existance. Don't know if its a curse or blessing, coz i still enjoy being alone..
This year was my first serious quarrel with my own sis... one in which alot of hurting words were thrown, one in which tears are shed... but one which has brought me closer to her, and i believe it did as her to me.
The "Umberella" incident of November was the biggest regret, and something i will not forgive myself. A god send, and i turned a blind eye. Sometimes i wonder... was it fated for me to be THAT silly? Sometimes i'll lie to myself that its fated for me to turn the blind eye.. but its just a momentary consolation. The fact remains: God sends a miracle, human didn't want. I reckon he won't be that kind, at least, not anytime soon.
-------------
And so that's it. My 2006. There might be other small good & bad stuff i leave out, but these are what i can remember. My memory starts to fail me, i can't remember alot of details, not as much as i used to.
Sometimes it looks like i took a step backward, but somehow i end up at the same, ol' place everytime. i need to move, and move forward.
So now, here i sit, typing this, while snacking on a packet of Chickadees, looking at the wonderful toys surrounding me, and, glancing at the rainsoaked window...
To all who might read, thanks for reading.
To all who are close to me, thanks for being who you are, for being there for me.
To all who gets to my nerves, i pray you will be more understanding, and stop doing what you do to annoy me.
To everyone else... All the best in 2007.

Man's Tears
tear's of happiness.....
this christmas, my Angels bought me this cute BIG tortise plushie for me (i'll need to go back to office to snap a pic of it.. ), and i thought that's it...
then the silly gal go and suprise me with another plushie, the Eeyore plushie, on friday.. she last minute go and buy, last minute self wrap, then put on my table...
i was really suprised, the plushie i wanted to get initially, but as it was quite small (i needed something to hug in the office), so didn't get it.
but she went and got it, last minute...
i nearly cried....
thank you.. really, thank YOU!!! <3

Man-up!
Sunday, December 17 2006.
The day which will go down in history..
the damn day i put makeup for my family photoshoot...
damn right, makeup! me!
...
okaaaaaaaaaaaaay... it wasn't much, just a little powder to cover some pimples...
but hey! its makeup!!
Anyway, it should be worth the trouble, since the whole thing cost my dad almost 1k...
2 family photos (1 formal wear with me in the $500-deposit loaned graduation gown, and 1 informal wear, all 4 of us sporting blue collar tees), 1 of dad & mom, and another of me and sis.
The pics look ok, but i couldn't get hold of digital copies.... so think will have to manually take pic and post up...
but damn, make up...
and also, that DAMN $500 deposit for loaning the gown... WTF, its not like i'll run away, you guys don't need to up the price by $300 (was $200, they revised the price JUST on the day i loaned from them)... lucky its full-refundable...
Christmas is coming... gifts, need to find, gifts need to buy...
One of my Angels saw this damn cute bear, which i would like to buy for her..but its priced at 140 bucks, and its on Yahoo auctions... damn, that's some pricey bear....
'tis, the season of spending...

Spaced.
Just some random stuff.....
Life's been going on rather..... routinely, these few weeks. Work, Gym, Sleep, Work, Home, Sleep, blah blah blah...
I'm scheduled for leave on the 15th, 18th, 19th, & 27th this month. Time for a break...
but what do i do during that free time? I've got nothing special/pressing that needs to be done...
maybe go cycling, go somewhere quiet...
some say its boring though...
Christmas is coming... gotta do Gifts shopping... its that time of the year, when the expenditure will shoot up like launching a rocket to space...
Argh.. life's at a stalemate now...

Compulsive Buying Disorder
"Contrary to popular opinion, nearly as many men as women experience compulsive buying disorder, a condition marked by binge buying and subsequent financial hardship, according to new research from the Stanford University School of Medicine. " ~ Medicine News TodayYEAP.
I got it.
:)
I always thought it applies to women... not until recently, when i look at all the toys i've bought, did i realise the truth.
At least, i'm not spending thousands on some useless items... just a few bucks at a time..
:)
BUT HEY, ITS STILL SPENDING!!!
