Well, if you had forgotten, I had scrapped the idea of having resolutions since last year. Mainly due to the fact that I never fulfiled them and I tend to not care about them at all.

But I did mention I wanted to pick up a new skill. Well...

1. I can play a full song on my crummy ol' guitar
2. I CAN make cupcakes, they're edible alright!
3. Workwise, I did pick up a couple of new, useful skills *YAY*

So let's do a brief rekept for 2007. Honestly speaking, I've been very brief on my entries for this whole year. Sadly, my camera did not get that much abused from me this year.

I guess I did tried to do better in life and work. I remember having all this self-realisation, self-discover shitzz for a couple of months. I blame it on my quarter life crisis. For once I notice how much I've grown and I've also realised how precious time is.

Charly, the french fry, came down to Singapore again for his internship. I wished I had spent more time with him but I didn't. He was here for like 6mths and I met him like 2-3 times? pathetic eh? But that's more frequent than I meet my own folks, so...

Lindsay came and I met up with her for that one day... just one day! I will do better for your 2008 trip, I promise!

I met so many new people... like SO MANY! I made myself sit down and listen to them to really get to know them better before passing off judgement. Yeah, a whole different Fida coming your way. I'm still the same person really, just takes a much longer time to unleash the negativity now. Haha!

Am I happier now? I guess you can say so. But deep inside there's a tinge of sadness in me for the fact that I wish I could meet up with my present, long-time-no-see friends again to catch up on old times. Just having you in my phonebook is not enough... unless I've chosen to avoid you already? Muahaha!

Let's talk about vacations. I went to Phuket, Bangkok, Bintan and JB. That's like using my passport for 4 times! Like woah~ This has to be some kind of a record! Usually I travel like twice max.

Pricely possession of this year includes:

1. Nintendo DS-Lite (pimped out version)
2. Nokia E65

That's it? Wow! I guess I didn't spend as much as I used to! But then again, I made up for that in the travelling department.

I almost lost my PC but a good friend told me he'll fix it at no cost... just a Burger King meal! That was a close call but I'm glad he manage to salvage everything back. I have no clue what I'll do if I loose all the data inside! I should now consider investing in a Hard Disk Drive to backup all my data!

I did blogathon again this year and once again, I fell asleep for a bit. It was a lot more organised this year as I've had previous experiences. Haha. I didn't raise that much money but I'm glad I did my part to help the less fortunate. Should I look forward to Blogathon 2008? Meh... we'll see about that. It kinda gets a tad too old... we need fresh ideas people!

As I mentioned I won't be setting resolutions but on the other hand, I started new projects/hobbies.

1. I Must Do This Daily - Project 365 Blog (Where I post a picture once a day from my mobile phone)
   
2. Roll - Lomo/Holga blog (Yes I will be a proud owner of a Holga in a week's time. In the meantime I'll stick to my Action Sampler)

These are just the few I'm starting. I hope to keep myself more occupied in 2008 with all these projects, new and present, in hand. At the same time it gets my creative juice running... some of you may have noticed I've not designed my own template for a while.

So what's gonna happen in 2008? Settle down? Hmmm....

Of all the shittos stuff she's done, I pretty much admire her somewhat. I mean, I don't blame her for being what she is now, fame IS a bitch. Top it up she has like the worst parental unit ever and if I'm in her shoes, I'll end up where she is, a lot less sexier I bet... haha. On the contrary I am glad she's not as trashy as her sister, Jamie Lynn.



I'm Miss "American Dream", Since I was 17.
Don't matter if I step on the scene,
Or sneak away to the Philippines..
They still gon' put pictures of my derriere in the magazine.
You want a piece of me?
You want a piece of me.

I'm Miss "Bad Media Karma"
Another day, another drama.
Guess I can't see no harm
In workin' and being a mama.
And with a kid on my arm
I’m still an exception, and everyone
Want a piece of me.

I'm Mrs. "Lifestyles Of The Rich & Famous"
(You want a piece of me?)
I'm Mrs. "Oh My God, That Britney's Shameless!"
(You want a piece of me?)
I'm Mrs. "Extra! Extra! This Just In!"
(You want a piece of me?)
I'm Mrs. "she's too big, now she's too thin"
(You want a piece of me?)

I'm Mrs. "You want a piece of me?"
Tryin' and pissin' me off.
Well get in line with the paparazzi
Who's flippin' me off.
Hoping I'll resort to startin' havoc
And end up settlin' in court..
Now are you sure you want a piece of me?
(You want a piece of me?)

I'm Mrs. "Most Likely To Get On TV For Strippin' On The Streets."
When getting the groceries, no, for real,
Are you kidding me?
No wonder there's panic in the industry..
I mean, please
Do you want a piece of me?

Why is it whenever I get a new shade of polish it always seems to get clumpy after just a few uses? How can I make it last longer?

Your nail color can last up to a year—two years even—if you keep it in the refrigerator. Refrigeration will extend the shelf life of a nail color by 50 percent at least.

The other must for home-manicure fiends: Nail polish thinner. OPI makes one. Supernail makes one. Any polish manufacturer worth its acetone makes one. Go get one. And, when things get gloppy, add one to two drops—no more—and gently shake.

One other nail tip, so to speak: Dark polishes thicken more quickly because they have more pigment.

You know sometimes how we yearn to have gazillion of friends? Not you? Hoe-well... Let's just say when you're 14 or 17, you've got plenty but now you've got just a handful or none at all. Would you be ok with it? Or would you feel rejected somehow? How many of us actually keep in touch with all these people in your phonebook you call friends?

Exactly...

Me, on the other hand, do not wish to celebrate my 50th birthday in a chalet full of aging friends, or put a massive pressure on my offsprings to book a bigger venue to have my funeral as our house is gonna be like too small to hold all of them.

With my current situation now, I feel priviledged to be able to sit down and rethink about all the people I've met, hung out with, schmooze... haha. How many actually deserve my friendship?

Ok, a lil' disclaimer here: I may or may not be talking about you but please stop thinking its you cos' it may or may not be you.

So right now, I'm putting additional effort to weed out the bad and hopefully retain the good. I've mostly been weeding... so if you feel like you've been weeded by me, please proceed to the door with the 'EXIT' sign and don't come back.

Another thing I'm puzzled is that these people kept telling me I've not been 'around' cos' I've got a boyfriend. Bitch puh-leeze! I've been around and about... just without you! Hahaha!

Don't judge me... I'm happy.

Sidenote: Congrats Germaine & Alan, I love your wedding although I came drenched and I'm sure it's not part of the dresscode but I dunch care cos' I love you and I'm very happy your wedding's a success so it's time for your horny-moon and please come back with your egg/s fertilized... LOL!

Note to self: Don't ever think of planning a wedding on a beautiful beach during monsoon season.

I owe my readers millions of better entries. I'm putting aside time to sit back and blog properly like I used to do at least 2 years back. Work has been wonderful. I love my colleagues and I love my job! I just love the energy we have especially from mid month onwards, crunching time, making the impossible possible and everything I did, right or wrong, is a whole new learning experience for me. Over time I've gained trust and confidence from the people that matters around me and I've been assigned to do things beyond my imagination and just makes me wanna go WOW why didn't I quit my previous job sooner!

I'm not hard up on getting a promotion or anything. Additional monetary increment *cross-fingers* will be good enough for me to take on additional responsibilities and moving forward to see myself becoming a whole different person, like really different... erm... I meant career wise. I realised I had grown a lot these past 2 years and I'm thankful I did not turn out to be a what I had expected my life would have been fucked up, or screwed, or *can't find cleaner word, sowee* cos' I've gone through many hardships at work before I could opened up and realise that I needed help!

I had a lot to be thankful for. My colleagues who constantly believes in me, pushing me to my upmost limit, bringing out talents/skills/knowledge I never knew I had in me all the time. Thank you for your faith, I really appreciate it like I've never appreciated anything before, work wise. Many who have had known me like years ago will know the shit I had gone through just to make a living. I'd say I would never want to change a thing about my past cos' I believe it had mould me to be what I am now; stronger, mature-r, smarter in so many ways.

I'm not writing this entry to flaunt about my job, but I really wanna put all my gratitudes in words, hoping someone will read it and realise how much I appreciate them. I'm not that skillful in expressing such emotions in person therefore I hope my words will do it. I would never be able to say this much in person, and that's my biggest weakness.

Oh yes, another important person I HAVE to mention will be none other than my darling. He had been there from the very beginning and I'm happy that I had made you really proud. Happy like FUCK!

Oh before I end this longest-entry-I've-had-since-months, I'd like to dedicate this video to a certain group at work who had made me realised my current obsession. I'm giving you a change to laugh at him, cos' I had never allowed that... hahaha!


Ooooh its getting hot in HERE!
