Happy 2012! あけおめ！
Back in HK and it's the 2nd day of 2012, but we shall pretend this post is not a day late :D
明けましておめでとう！♥
Fandom-wise, the ups of 2011 were Kisumai's debut and going for their debut cons (my first time watching a JE con live!), going for Playzone and Shounentachi (and being present when they announced their first solo con!) for A.B.C-Z and their debut announcement, meeting snowqueenofhoth, the Finnish girls, yararanger and Tsukachan in Japan in summer, and making many new fandom friends :) which made up for the lows like RyoPi leaving NewS, Ryutarou's smoking scandal, and now MSM's split.
In the real life, moving to HK for work in February (+ 1 month of being deaf in one ear and the associated visits to specialists and medication) was the biggest change, where I had to form a new life from scratch - friends, colleagues, house etc. I can't say it has been a bed of roses but it hasn't been too bad (if I didn't move here, the amazing trip to Japan in summer wouldn't have been possible :X). And the other only notable thing this year was being dumped by the same guy for the third time in 5 years, after talks about getting engaged etc. But anyway, I survived the year in one piece, mostly thanks to my K8 and NEWS girls watching cons with me after work over skype, and everyone else just being on twitter and whatsapp. ♥
Looking forward, 2012 looks set to be amazing, with Kisumai's 47 prefecture tour and Asia tour, A.B.C-Z's debut DVD in Feb and the performances from Feb-May (and hopefully Asia performances too? :D) and of course, Kanjani8's eight year. EITO RANGERS ♥ the plan is to go to Japan in Feb, Aug and Nov maybe? :D Hopefully I can meet up with everyone in Japan again this year~ ♥
So far, resolutions for the year are:
1) go on soba/udon diet and gym more often - need to keep my weight back at 48-51kg;
2) diligently attend Japanese lessons orz (I need to do something about this commitment problem of mine;
3) start investing properly (shame on me, I know);
4) contribute more to fandom - get back into writing drabbles/fics, scan as much of Tsukachan's photos/etc as possible, etc;
5) save enough to go to either Taiwan or Korea as well for Ebi/Kisumai;
6) improve my temper.
Keeping my fingers crossed that the banking industry doesn't collapse and leave me jobless this year >.>
