New Year is coming.  It’s usually a great time for parties. You might still have one empty bottle at your home to remind you on how you celebrated your new year last year with heaps of resolutions which either been full fill or to be carry forward to the next year. It seems that New Year Eve wasn’t different from any other day of the year, really…you partied too hard, drank too much, ate too much, hated your job and fumbled at relationship.

But then you suddenly have this New Year coming, it’s another start of the year where you can start everything over again reset your counter back to zero. Here you go again. You have made a resolution to take better care of yourself any other things around you. You have decided to keep your resolution this year.

I have a long list of new year resolution. Some I do admit was carried from the previous years. Unaccomplished pending resolutions.

Healthier, thinner, richer and kinder. Seems like these words have said it all.

#1. Lose weight:

I did lost some weight, a healthy 4kg to be precise. Now I am at 47kg and looking forward to shed another 4kg to be precise. 43kg will be just nice!

#2. Exercise!

At least a monthly walk/ hike/ jog for a starter like me. Once a month hike will be just nice.

#3. Study:

To have the motivation and energy to keep going and going. I just need to complete my study…

#4. Work effectively and smartly:

To have settle down for a job I enjoy and like. Spend more time and efford to make it work.

#5. Spending more time and foster good relationship with Mylo Boy, family and love ones…

I need to spend more time with Mylo boy, my little pet chap. To be able to full fill him with happiness and kindness and all the joy in this world. To be able to spend more time and foster good relationship with my mom, family and friends.

For the record, it has been a long time I actually work for long hours. The last time I remembered was when doing my project I had 32 hours of work without sleep. That was long time ago when  I was 23, young and charged up.

The second long working hours was 16 hours when I was 26. Still, young and full with energy, there wasn’t a problem staying late at all.

Yesterday, I had to stay up late at the office again. Started work at 8am and went home at 12am. Even though it is just another 16 hours of work and it wasn’t for the first time, I felt so restless and tired.

After all, someone has to agree with me that when age is catching up, our body will just refuse to listen to you anymore.

During the weekends, I had a trip to National Park. Sigh… after so long without exercising, I was actually testing myself if I would be able to join in the hike.

I took some time observing the signs and then carefully choose the path to go for the journey. After all, sweating it out is not one of my favourite hobby. I am a lazy person to be precise, I would rather choose my bed over the weekends than a good sweat it out exercise.

Going up the trek is definitely going to be a difficult journey for me.

Scratching my head looking at the signboard

Scratching my head looking at the signboards, I suddenly felt so dizzy. Muka Head light house, the furthest to go is at 4220m? Or can I settle for a 450m hike to Sungai Tukun?

I come across article of “the boyfriend” posting  a question to google asking how to make his girlfriend lose weight. Gee…I bet I wouldn’t want to be in the girlfriend shoes where someone has to ask GOOGLE on how to shed off my fats.

Google your fats out

I am not sure if the guy actually ask to help the girlfriend to improve her weight condition due to her health reasons or he simply want his girlfriend to look pretty so that he won’t feel embarrassed when going out with her.

For the 1st answer: Ok guy…you are my hero. You are one of the existing good guys out there who is not yet marry. With this, I salute you la…

For the 2nd answer: Ok guy…you are such a loser. Get your d**k somewhere else since you don’t understand the real concept of relationship. I look down on you la…

I tried taking some pictures outside of my apartment with the new digital camera. Still getting very excited over it, I couldn’t help to stop snapping pictures around. My dog, Mylo Boy has been the first target to be my model for this camera. He always has very creative and designer posts.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Xmas countdown was pretty lame and dull. There wasn’t much people at Queensbay Mall…Where are all the people?! Heck. Maybe its due to the recession and economy downturn people are not partying much.

Traffic at QB

There? Not much human around isn’t it?

Anyway Christmas is still Christmas. At this moment I bet inside the church is even more happening than outside. There are a bunch of college kids doing the college kids stuff. Red hats and that remind me of being a Santarina at the age of 24. I had a Santarina costume and a cute Xmas hat on me and going around giving out candies wishing people Merry Christmas. Pretty happening huh?! Btw, I am a little cute Santarina, I just can’t describe why to you…and too bad I didn’t keep any of the Santarina picture because I got too embarassed over it.

Merry Christmas everyone!

2008 Christmas is a real slow down in Penang. Hopefully things will get better after next year. Still…Christmas is still Christmas.  Have an enjoyable ones!

I got my Christmas gift from the gift exchange today.
