New years eve :)

So it's the end of another year. Thanks to the fact I'm not 21 yet and because I'm still daddy's "little" girl, I'm on the train home right now to beat my curfew.

2011 - year in review + photo dump

Just overall, 2011 was a fantastic year. It started off tragic, we can all relate, but for me, it served as a reminder to live every day to its fullest.

I don't regret much. I've loved, I've lost, I've gained and I've pretty done all I can to life a happy life. Last year, I kept complaining about not making friends, but I swear, I've never been more social.

I've been to new places, started appreciating red wine, and continued being a good friend to all my pals.

Next year will be different. I'll need to make a bunch of friends at uni, find a new job and convince D to let me get my P's.

2012 is also a year of 21st birthdays! Looking forward to all the themed celebrations.

I'm feeling very optimistic about 2012.

But I think I'll really miss 2011. It was a pretty good year for me <3

another resolution

To stop chiming in photos.

Oh. My. Gosh.

I was just browsing through my tagged photos (hidden to all but me - for good reason too) and realised there are way too many of me with really hideous facial expressions.

Sigh. None are DP-able.

Only a day left in 2011. Even though we probably won't feel very different once the clock strikes 12, I hope I can leave whatever I can in 2011, and move into 2012 with minimal baggage.

DundunDUNN I still need to clean my room =___+;

So yes, to summarise:

1. Incorporate veganism at least 2-3 days a week
2. Stop chiming
3. Read more - start by finding out how to obtain something by Haruki Murakami!

Hope you all spend the last day of the year doing something meaningful (and if not, oh well, it's just another day!), happy new year :)

forgetfulness

Yesterday when I decided to bring veganism into my life, I forgot I was meeting a friend at Max brenner today.

Aw man.

PS. Check out all this fb activity from the TWpeople. It's crazy. They're being tagged in photos every minute in the day.

pre-new years resolution

I think I might try veganism.

Maybe 2 or 3 days a week to increase vegetable consumption.

You know what's the best method to lose weight? To get sick.

I don't know if this is lactose intolerance kicking in, I just felt really nauseous after my homongous ice coffee. Maybe it's because I haven't had large volumes of milk in a long time, but man, that made me feel sick for 2 days. Missed 4 meals, and lost 3.5 kilos.

Took a look in the mirror, boom, gaunt looking face staring back at me. Not a good look. But it's nice to be slim.

Anyway, it felt nice to be babied again because M's home. Not doing that much, helping her unpack and sharing stories from the past 2 months, family gossip, and of course.. laundry.

But going back to veganism, I think I'll be good a few days a week and use the vegies to clean my arteries of all the damage I did by eating a kilo of Cabra/viet meat over Christmas lunch.

Only 2 more days until the new year. How quickly and slowly this year has gone by!

PS. I love photos posted to the Tealily photography blog and was pleasantly surprised to find photos of my workmate and her fiance! (Pleasantly surprised is an understatement. I leapt from my chair and did a little jig).  I thought they were married already - oops, evidently not. Haha!

Epic day

Spent 10 hours talking to A about life and the meaning of life and whatever comes in between.

Affogato was consumed and that is how my holiday coffee ban was violated.

We also spent an hour looking for an actual coffee shop that was open on boxing day. Ahahaa!

M also finally returned after 2 months. My parents have been chatting away for the past two hours and I can hear them. I can't sleeeep. 😓
