As we come to the final close of 2008, it seems only proper that one such as moi took the time to reflect and regroup. And so should the both of you. I expect similar posts in time.
Do not summarize your year tho, just highlight the lessons learnt from it. It's impossible to paraphrase this year anyway; it has been a tres' eventful one.
so for my bit...
1. Dealing with loneliness. tragically, this year has been a lot of just this. From dealing with working at TGIF, driving school, the absence of Taman SEA, my new college and my missing support of friends; this virtue has been taught well.
loneliness I realized, is just a state of mind. Those who fear it, fear death itself. For when we leave; we leave alone - the same way we came in.
2. Freedom. jal would agree with me on this one. driving licence and cars. need I say more? I love this new development in 2008; everything fun I did would be impossible without this. Agreed? ;)
3. Self-esteem. Yep. Learnt to do things my way and stop being pushed around. I do what I want and not because everybody is doing it. Sarah would understand. i've become a proactive protagonist and have reached the point of dealing with problems. that last bit was for Jal (i apply that which i learn my friend!)
4. The importance of my friends. cliche as it sounds, i find when applied to life, this is extremely true. you just need to be able to highlight the importance. thank you for shouldering my burdens this year.
5. Minusing the delusional factor. i've stopped deluding myself into wanting reality to go my way. Delusions infest every area in life; they are no exceptions. Examples :
Friend seems to be taking advantage of you and you're angry? You've deluded yourself into wanting the perfect friend then. and you're frustrated because reality isn't following your game plan.
Plan something exciting and it fails in the end? delusions again. big mistake there for imagining something wonderful, should have been more realistic.
I've discarded myself completely of such delusions; and yes these examples were taken from personal experience. And another yes, I find myself much happier just dealing with things that cannot be changed.
I hope i find more of such delusions haunting life.
Past aside, my new year's resolution?
I WANT TO GET FANTASTIC RESULTS FOR MED SCHOOL
and hopefully, take up watercolour painting classes.
happy new year to you and your family,
from yours truly,
minggg

A Year End Review -- brought to you by Calvin Klein
Calvin Klein : First of all, a Merry Christmas to you C.K. and thanks for taking time to meet up with me to have a little chat.
C.K. : Merry Christmas to you too Calvin. No, no, the pleasure is all mine.
C.K. : How has Christmas been treating you?
C.K. : So far so good I guess. Had a nice time at church this morning and then work was as if not working at all so overall it's been a relaxing day.
C.K. : Sounds fantastic. What about yesterday, Christmas eve?
C.K. : *Exhales deeply* Yesterday was a different story. It totally lived to its hype as being one of the biggest days in the Friday's calendar. Ever since 8p.m. onwards, I had worked non-stop. Orders, requests, bussing, running food and drinks you name it. The restaurant was packed top down. However there were a lot of staff on duty so we could manage. The kiamsiap menu contributed as well.
C.K. : Anything special happened?
C.K. : Well I can't really remember much other than a lot of running but I believe someone proposed to his girlfriend.
C.K. : Wow! What did she say?
C.K. : Most probably it was a yes. Then again it is really hard to say no in these kind of occasions don't you think? I mean you are cornered by so many people and anything else but a yes would shatter the poor boy's hearts to smithereens. It is quite unfair for the female party really.
C.K. : True that, but its part of the romanticism of it all don't you think?
C.K. : Well it is somewhat. However, the more important issue to be addressed here is the peer pressure. Marriage is probably one of the last decisions that you would want to make based on peer pressure. Of course when you're in the moment you won't realize it is peer pressure, but once you are boarding the flight to your honeymoon, you would probably go, " F***!".
C.K. : *chuckles* You really crack me up C.K.. Since you're in the mood, let's move on to the main questions shall we?
C.K. : *LOL* Sure thing.
C.K. : How was your 2-0-0-8?
- End of Part 1. To be continued.
C.K. : Merry Christmas to you too Calvin. No, no, the pleasure is all mine.

Merry Christmas!
I need a breather and GossipGirl pronto, else I'll go nuts.
What is wrong with everyone recently? it seems like being flaky is the in thing right now. I don't normally do this on the blog, but desperate times calls for desperate measures.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!
You bet I'm pissed off. I absolutely despise flakers, and if you don't know what that means; you're probably the few people I'm bitching about. Next time spare the excuses and just be frank that you can't make it. Oh and don't do it five minutes before Christmas, it was such a spoiler. I was actually having a good time before that.
Obvy D since flaky is in right now, I shall employ it in the future as well. I have to keep up with today's trend, no?
having all that out, on a lighter note....
WAIT. there's no lighter note. My extended family are over at my place too and it's driving me up the wall. PATIENCE! Christmas should be the day for the Lord and I am NOT letting this spoil it. Today is not about me.
xoxo

Psst! Christmas is next week ;)
O. M .G
I never felt so sexy about a song since Missy Elliot's Lose Control. and that's saying a lot, that song was the queen of sexah.
But i'm telling you, Britney's new hit, Circus is giving Missy a run for her money. and the video is absolutely inspiring. The Queen is just one of those people that bring dance back to life. How i miss the good old days, just watching her. No true dancer can resist it's infectious beats.
click me, to listen and be amazed.
also! I caught Good Luck Chuck on HBO just now. it was pretty good, tho I can't stand JessiA. She's so pretty, it makes you sick. Dane Cook wasn't too bad either, beary funny guy. I suggest watching it.
Okay I'm pissed. Can't seem to load the whole poster, only the half with Dane Cook in it. URGH.
There's a racier movie poster with Dane Cook in his tighty blackies hugging JessiA. But let's just keep this blog 18 below friendly okay?
whats a ming blogpost without some sex isn't it? ;)

Hold up!
CK?
what the hell is up with your post for Pete's sake?? I personally find all that "majorly", hyped up language ultra diu-nia-ma disturbing. It's one thing to be typing that myself, but to see you of all people, being bimbo? O.M.F.G Majorly? *to quote myself*
not that it's a bad thing. change is always a good! And i like this new optimistic CK. way better than the brooding, annoying silly old CK.
it's just so freaking scary and surprising. i need to c you pronto. what brought about the change?!
freaky freaky sneaky sneaky...

Wayarles
Hey babes! Missed me? Probably not tapi I will muka tebal sikit and assume you all did and say I miss you all too! =D
First I should explain my hiatus la kan? The last 3 weeks or a month or so has been really super-duper busy for me. From Assignments --to--> Work --to--> Futsal --to--> Youth Camp Prep --to--> Youth Camp --to--> Catching up with sleep. College life don't get more harder than this.
So yea, I have been busy with all of the above. Assignments are pretty much done so thats one less gorilla off my back. Work will stay for awhile I guess, have set a new goal for myself which is to earn myself a bamboo tablet! (Just want to apologize to my fingers for putting em' through the grind and risk them ending up like Sutha's leg 0.0, inside joke). Then there is futsal. Man I haven't ran so much in months but had a great time with the guys. (a tip from me, never play futsal before work.. not funny i tell you, not funny..)
Then comes Youth Camp...
WOOHOOOO!!!MAJORLY!!
Camp rocked socks and shoes and kayaks man. Well you might say I'm biased since I am part of the committee but seriously it rocked. Thank God it was held somewhere other than Peacehaven, this time in a NS camp. The place, Benum Hill Resort, was uber huge, packing a lake, football field, basketball court, futsal court, flying fox and stuff. Above all though, was the fulfillment of the camp theme, which is Encountering God! We had the benefit of the 1AM band (for those who went for L.O.U.D. concert, they were the band with the uber chun video and a guitarist that looks like Cheng Hong) and their ever animated pastor, Pastor Cathryn to preach to us and help usher in God's presence. Of course not forgetting when Chee Kong is involved in planning games, it ends up being out of this world, and it was. Lol jk, all glory and praise to God!
But going through that has increased my sleeping debts to idunnohowmanyhours and signs are showing that I need to pay them off, urgently.
Oh yea! What's a CK post without a bit of geek? After more than a month of resisting, I finally got my PC a Belkin N Wireless Adapter. Long story short, its something like a thumbdrive that allows your PC to go online wirelessly! But its not a modem. I am totally for wireless technology. My keyboard is wireless, my mouse was previously wireless but it eats too much cheese and now my internet is wireless too. I mean, why not?

ZOMG
I just had zei' most horrendous epiphany in the history of horrendous epiphanies!!!
Breaking Dawn was the last book of the Twilight SAGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY FUCKING SHITCAKES MUTHA(inserts the word you all know so well here)
I have been totally blind to the fact that Midnight Sun is just Twilight retold from Edward's point of view. I read from Stephanie Meyer's page that she'd be launching another book named (very appropriately) Midnight Sun, which kind off fits with the titles of the rest of her volumes. can you blame me for having some form of hope???
so i kinda assumed (AND misleading information from die-hard classmates who will never willingly let the saga end added to it) that another book shall be written to continue the story.
but evidently, it's so not happening.
I am tres' upset right now. and if you don't understand my sudden groupies obessesion, please link elsewhere cunt-faces.
also check this :
(taken from the official Meyer webbie)
As some of you may have heard, my partial draft of Midnight Sun was illegally posted on the Internet and has since been virally distributed without my knowledge or permission or the knowledge or permission of my publisher.
(OMG, like who wouldn't I sleep with to get my hands on that but i shall not digress)
So where does this leave Midnight Sun? My first feeling was that there was no way to continue. Writing isn't like math; in math, two plus two always equals four no matter what your mood is like. With writing, the way you feel changes everything. If I tried to write Midnight Sun now, in my current frame of mind, James would probably win and all the Cullens would die, which wouldn't dovetail too well with the original story. In any case, I feel too sad about what has happened to continue working on Midnight Sun, and so it is on hold indefinitely.
fuckers. it's all your horrid non-self respecting online distributors out there that has destroyed the lovely story that is Twilight okay. if she didn't feel so discouraged, she might consider writing another book!!!!!!
fuck lah. someone hire her a therapist please, you'd be doing us all a favour. now she won't even rewrite Twilight from another POV. Fat chance she'll write any book. Veli Good.

Poll
"China, 3000 years ago. General Song, an old 80+ man, under the strict orders of the Emperor of China, led an army consisting of 12 different Chinese ethnicities, into Nangan, for a takeover. He and his men sounded the trumpets and as soon as the trumpets were heard, the men shouted, then they charged straight into Nangan and took it. They utterly destroyed all in Nangan, both men and women, young and old, oxen, sheep, asses, etc. with the edge of the sword. Then they burned the whole city and everything in it, but they put the silver and gold and the articles of bronze and iron into the treasury of the Emperor."
Do you think General Song and his army acted rightly or not?
A. I approve. Totally.
B. I partially approve/disapprove.
C. I disapprove. Totally.
This was conducted by a psychologist on children from 8-14 years. Please pick an answer and give a reason for your answer as comments. Please do not Google or look for this test or in anyway do anything that can affect your honest answer.
The collected results will be my next post. Yay!

2008. you're leaving already?
One semester down, just two more to go.
I cannot believe all that complaining and bitching about Taylors has amounted to half a year already. it's hardly belieavable. even more apalling is the likes of Estee and Sam have already graduated. tsk tsk. how my children are growing up ;P
on a lighter note, i saw twilight yesterday. It was good, so unlike the reviews- people are so pessimistic just because they've read the books. i've read the books too, and i don't find the movie dissapointing! so suck it you bitches.
in replacement of being a bad movie, twilight is actually alot like emotional porn. it makes you feel so good, i will deem it the cake of all emotional orgasm. period.
and i cannot believe the females in the cinema actually squealed when Edward Cullen first appeared in the movie. i've read that happening in some reviews, but for it to actually happen?? freako-ish man. i don't really understand the edward hype. except maybe the part where he was playing that song for Bella on the grand piano. sacre bleu' much?? Director's really shouldn't film scenes like that, not at least without a pre-warning that faint hearted helpless romantics should beware. people could actually die from the romance of it.
as for everything else in life. beautifoool i say. i've finally seen and catched up with my babies, and thats all that matters ;)
xoxo
