All's well that ends well

Tootle-loo, au revoir, auf wierdesehen, ciao....ting tao tay!
2009 is gone!

I have learnt many priceless things from 2009. Unfortunately, some of those things were learnt the hard way:

1. Yong's Fantasy Football tips cannot be trusted. There is no coming back from that.
2. Just because someone says you look thinner, doesn't mean you can eat more.

Yea, the same person who at one time called me thin, said I was fat a few weeks later. =(

But overall I can say that 2009 was an eventful year by my standards. I traveled to several places (Europe being the highlight of course), I got involved in a lot of events and I met new friends (though they will rue the day they met me!).

So I guess I didn't really update you guys on what I was doing since Christmas. Long version or short version? Ok short version since I'm lazy.

I refused to stay in the office on Boxing Day so I walked to Dataran to watch The Treasure Hunter by myself. Don't get me wrong, I was fully aware that it was going to be a lousy movie, but I just wanted some brainless entertainment.

Jay Chou and Lin Chi-ling were hilarious (coz their chemistry was just so horrible). 

With Jay Chou attracting the ladies and Lin Chi-ling attracting the guys, I was expecting quite a lot of people. But to my surprise roughly 90% of the people in the cinema were Malays. 1Malaysia anyone?

At night I attended the church Christmas Party and was once again touched by YB Hannah Yeoh's testimony. Many Christians just wanna pray about things without really actually doing anything, and she is an exception to that.  She reminded me that God is only looking for availability and obedience.

The next day my sis and I watched Sherlock Holmes which was a good movie, but not quite up to my expectations.

On the 31st, Daryl and I went for Baskin Robbins but they ran out of pints. So we ended up eating single-scoop icecream, which is like nothing (actually 'nothing' doesn't even begin to describe the non-existence of the icecream). What a sad way to end 2009. Haiz.

We then went to watch Avatar again (but in 3D this time) with Yong and Filbert. The 3D version wasn't significantly different. There were only subtle enhancements to the non-3D version.

 

"She's blue but she's kinda hot." - Yong

Whether or not Avatar is the best movie of the year is debatable. But we unanimously agreed that the Na'vi girl Neytiri is chun! Hahaha. Serious. The pic doesn't do justice. She has that kind of vibe, you know -__-

MOVING ON. Went up to KL on New Year's Day to teman my sis who was attending her friends' wedding. I walked around the Curve and The Street by myself while she was at the wedding. How appropriate for the outside band to be playing emo songs like Barry Manilow's Can't Smile Without You while I was walking around pathetically.

Someone could of video taped me and made it into a music video. I think it would be very touching lo. LOL!

There were a lot restaurants that I wanted to try there but I didn't have the guts to go up and say "Table for one please.". Ended up eating Subway which I have badly missed. I felt healthier straight away. I also ate at Cupcake Chic which is a franchise started by an ex-churchmate. It was awesome.

Ok I'm getting lazy (more on this later).

Time for new year resolutions!

You know how in July I came up with a new half-year resolution to become an optimist? Well, although I'm still miles away from achieving that target, there's no denying that I have come a long way from where I used to be.

Its funny how God uses the people and circumstances around us, in ways that we don't expect, to change us.

Well my new year resolution this time is to read more books. Not those sci-fi or fantasy fiction books, but rather good solid material that will challenge me spiritually, mentally and emotionally.

Fleur's eyes lit up today after I answered what my new year resolution was. Haha. With much enthusiasm she immediately proceeded to recommend me books and websites of book reviews to check out.

The next few months are going to be really busy.

First of all the work is gonna pile up again, with the peak period just around the corner. The new CPA semester will start again. Then I'm also involved in a lot of things at church, namely the Youth Fellowship and the committee of the LIFE camp which is happening in June.

Just found out today that I was also asked to be on the Church Camp committee but as usual they never ask me directly. They will ask my sis. But I have to turn down that request anyway as I doubt I will have the time to do so many things. Which is why I won't be blogging as often, or even at all anymore. Have to see first.

I think I've proven my doubters wrong by lasting this long, but my laziness is finally catching up to me.

Tootle-loo~

Bye 2009~
