I was supposed to visit here sooner and blog about Ip Man with ahni but i didn't. HAHA.
But ahni! I'm glad we finally met up! =)
Ip Man was good, very good. Yay to movies but urgh i have yet to shake off the Twilight addiction.
Despite many negative reviews, i still feel like watching it.
The holidays seem to pass by very quickly. This morning i realised next semester is starting soon, and results for last sem are to be released in 2 days' time. Wow what have i been doing. This holidays have been restful and meaningful, though i have not been out much. Spent more time with the family above anything else. My grandma is still i hospital, so my days have been busy between helping out my mom at the business and shuffling to the hospital. Christmas orders for Christmas is abit mad. i survived 5 days with less then 25 hours of sleep altogether. I guess i've never had a quiet Christmas before this year's, and it's a nice change. Away from all the crowd and cheers, i feel less alone in my own room and with my family.
I haven planned my birthday party for 16th and 17th next month. Urgh.The thought of planning makes me wanna cancel it off. Birthday WIshes and Wishlists, CNY clothes and New Year Resolutions seem very unrealistic, at least as of now. I think it's because i seldom do keep to my resolutions anyway.
But for 2009, let's see... At least i have left smth behind me. Smth i ought to have let go of a long time ago. And this time round, i let go with a smile playing faintly on my lips, because i recognize my foolish persistence on smth that has been made very clear long ago. I do not regret going through that period, because it was worth it. The pain/hurt/joy/heart-race was all well worth it.
Was i very excited at the coming of each new year in the past? I cannot recall being very much so. Especially when this year, all i feel is that the year is ending and another year is coming. You know, just the technical details of having to write 2009 instead of 2008 in future. The signification of a new year has yet to get to me though. A new beginning or a fresh new start sounds promising, but do we only wait for new years to start afresh?
In 2008, i've attempted to start afresh and live better more times than i can count. How many times have i failed or suceeded? I never knew for sure, for i've never known the dividing line between failure and success. Inch out, inch out, my driving instructor always says. I believe in being courageous enough to inch out and try to improve things little by little. Because taking a huge leap risks a fall, while small steps are more firmly grounded.
It's funny how many things that once mattered no longer mean much to be anymore. It's like insisting on keeping a favourite stuffed toy i once loved. Only when it is lost, do i realise that i don't care very much about it's presence actually.
