HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!

It feels so weird to be typing 2010 instead of 2009.

A year (almost) nearer to graduation, a year (almost) nearer to bloody SPM, a year nearer to the apocalypse in 2012, a year nearer to death!

No new year's resolutions for this year. Because I know I probably won't remember them after a few weeks. And I know I'd never achieve them. Haha. No point.

And they're always the same anyway. "Lose weight" and "exercise more" were last year's resolutions (and the year before), I think. Am I thinner now? No. How stupid. HAHA.

2010 is going to be a seriously weird year.

On a totally irrelevant note, my dad told me that this year's SPM will be from 22 November until 16 December. Awesome.

AND. Disgusting it may be, but my sister and I didn't bathe for the last day of 2009. HAHA. And I'll be having the first bath of the year, of the decade, in a few minutes! So cool. Us and the bacteria are having a great start of the year! Yay! :D

Best of 2009 : Things to Remember



Witnessed a magnificent array of fireworks during the Chinese New Year celebration at my cousin's house.

The only downside about the CNY celebration last year (as in 2009), was the absence of my favourite CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN. Damn.





Okay, I guess the above is not exactly considered as one of the "best-of-2009s". But it certainly was something to remember. Haha.

Fell down at school and scraped off my own skin on Valentine's Day. Most memorable Valentine's Day I have had so far. HAHA. So pathetic.





First time I drew and painted on banners. As a very loyal, helpful friend.

AND THAT REMINDS ME. Iris still freaking owes me a cup of Coffee Bean coffee. Screw that. Make it 5 cups. Damn.





First time I went to trample on and fool around in the mud along with the hermit crabs and red-clawed crabs.

It was gross, but fun. The sensation of your feet sinking lower and deeper into the sticky mud, the feeling of treading on sharpish stuff (probably crabs), the results of struggling hard when you are already halfway in the mud (sink deeper, obviously) ...

Guess I now know the dangers of quicksands, marshes and whatnot.



Experienced what a car crash would feel like during a camp. LOL.

The honest answer? A roller coaster ride.

But that was just a demonstration. Can't really imagine the real thing happening. Ugh.



Had a taste of the heavenly Godiva truffles. Yum.



Bought a tortoise pencil case - aptly named Meetoto, because its character is as dumb as the sound of its name - from Popular. Rui Mei also had a similar tortoise pencil case called Jun Gui, which she lost a few months ago. Sigh.

Well. We (being Iris, Rui Mei and I) managed to make the cute, innocent, and most importantly, CLEAN, tortoise as shown in the photo above look like ...



THIS.

LOL. With make up (coloured chalk) on its face, a Paris Hilton-inspired (NOT) headband, some Viking horns or wings or whatever those were, and a Superman cloak. HAHAHA.



Stood on a "bridge" which was an IMPRESSIVE 26050 millimeters off the ground.

Need a calculator to figure out the number in meters? Haha. xD



Stole peacock feathers from the Bird Park. =_=



Spent a crazy (to me) amount of money on ... well, see for yourself. GASP. And that was only in June. In 3 days. Around.

Yes, it was probably your fault, Ee Leng. Hahaha.





Performed with the pros from Singapore and other places on the 21st of June. Awesome day.







Went rockclimbing and ... shooting arrows? at Genting. So exhilarating. It was a few days before the second monthly test. Mwahaha.

Rockclimbing was scary. Kind of. Made my legs and arms tremble. Wobbly.

And shooting arrows was awesome! HAHA. Now Legolas is going to fall in love with me because I also know how to shoot arrows. Yay. Ahem.



School concert. It was horrible, to be honest.



Bought my first pair of coloured contact lens. :)



Went to a ballet concert (I think it was my first) in which Ning Zhen and her sister performed. Pretty!



Performance on the 23rd of August. Another brilliant day.

The performance was super lousy, actually. But we all had fun. :)



Got myself a pretty fiance (touched, Wen Yuan? :P), only to watch her cheating on me, right in front of my eyes. Bah. HAHA. AND she left me on the altar, alone. WTF.

Ahem.







Had my first 商业演出 on the 27th of November, and the second on the 5th of December.

Two of the happiest days of the year. And the MONEY. *grins*





Played cello for the first time, for the CO Farewell.

I LOVE CELLOS!! ♥



Witnessed people eating scorpions. Of all things. It was puke-inducing. UGGH.

They said the scorpions merely tasted like those ... what do you call them? Mini, dried prawns?



Saw the most intriguing instrument at Han Chiang High School this past Monday.

革胡!! The traditional Chinese cello. Something something. SO COOL! Why don't we have things like that in our school huh. :(

Okay. I guess that's it. I think there are more, but right now, I can only think about my first bath of the year.

So, goodnight, everyone. HAVE A GREAT YEAR!

XOXO
