2007

No New Year's resolution for me, because I never keep to them. If there is one for this blog, it will probably be "blog more regularly" and "with more pictures". Somehow after more than one month without an entry, people still come to check and read, and I really appreciate it.

Have gone Missing-In-Action largely because I was having too much fun. From where I left off the last time, I spent the next two weeks keeping insane nights to finish all my homework by end of term. Then I went home for three weeks. Going home is so much fun, though sometimes it is just parents and brother squabbling, in any combination. And of course, me getting to squabble with them in person, rather than over MSN or skype. Somehow you don't miss it, until you have been away from it at length. We went Genting, KL and Malacca, the first two we have gone a number of times, but it is still very enjoyable, not in the exciting-Lake-District sense, but more of spending time together away from work, people and irritating phone calls. Going home also means I can take a break from completely taking charge of my life. Once I step onto the plane, it basically means "on my own". It's independence, but as Spiderman says, "with power, comes responsibility."

2006 can be called "the year of too many changes, too fast". Fresh out of school, went to work. Boss promised that the job will "make you grow up", and I think I did. It was not too hard coping there once I figured out what was happening, it was a lot of fun and the greatest pain about the job was leaving it and the people there. Just when I thought it was enough excitement for one year, I happily uprooted myself to England. You can tell I have a lot of fun, but it is always cold and can get lonely sometimes. At one point was thinking of packing up and going home, since school is essentially readings and more readings which i can do in a warmer place. BUT JW once said to stick to decisions made "come hail or high waters", and I figured I'm not going to get frozen out of school. I'm going to stick here and enjoy it. (I'm the opposite of an electron, always choose the path of most resistance.)

So 2007 now I'm back on campus, and won't be back in sg till at least another half a year. Everyone moves on with their lives, but I'm really hoping I will still be able to catch up where we left off in 2006 for people who I didn't spend enough time with or didn't get to meet during Christmas vacation or wh0 just move too fast in half a year!
