It's really weird. This happened to me online yesterday.

This friend (lets name her S) I haven't been speaking to for quite sometime (not that we quarrelled or anything, we were just too busy with our own stuff and we never really got the chance to chat for a really long time) intiated a chat with me online. It went pretty ok for, well, less than 5 mins!

It started with a "Happy New Year" followed by an invitation to a coffee break with this other friend of ours. I didn't recognise our other friend (lets just name her P) by her chinese name, so when S mentioned P by her chinese name, I said, along the lines of "Er, who's that? Mayb u could give some kinda description so I'll be able to recall a bit.". And after I finally got who S was talking about, which really only took me a min, S called me "Lousy", which I was really cool with but what she said after that left me extremely puzzled. She said that she'd been getting bad vibes from me from very early that day, and that was it, she went offline straight after she stung me with that very strange statement.

How much "bad vibes" could u get from someone u spoke to for the first time in what, 4 months? Didn't make any calibre of sense to me at all, which made me even more bewildered!

Anyway, a little shift here.

I used to make new year's resolutions which I never had the discipline to keep to. Or rather, I come up with them because it seemed like it would bring hope to actually achieving them eventually. After all, the journey to one's goal begins with the first step, does it not? So the first step was to lay the objectives out, and that would usually than not, be my last step as well. Thus, just for the sake of wanting to feel like the new year brings a new start and with that, new hope, here're some new year resolutions I would be delighted to keep.

- grow taller (like 3 cm can?)
- go to the gym once a month (HA! Once a month!)
- achieve a 3.2 GPA (being realistic, I think)
- stick with my current job for the rest of the year
- buy a new cam ($$, that's what the job's for)
- stop piracy (lets start with me first)
- pluck up courage to wax my legs
- resist chopping my hair off
- eventually chopping my hair off
- fall in love (HAHA, comical! Right.)
- watch a musical at the Esplanade
- take up pilates
- buy so much clothing my wardrobe could explode
- grow more hair (it seems I'm balding! =/)
- have smaller eye bags
- lighter dark rings around the eye
- get more cosmetics (disguising ugliness is essential)
- watch a movie alone
- go star gazing with a friend (Eileen!)
- meet up with BF more (OMG! PLEASE DO! Jols, ni zai na li?)
- become a boho chick (I dig them hoopy earrings and boho skirts)
- land myself a modelling contract
- become Singapore's Top model (joke of the century)
- face the fact that I'll never become a model (not even for 17)
- get fat eating pasta, pizza and everything sinful
- stop adding more nonsensical resolutions to my list of resolutions

Ok, I kinda strayed off a little, having a bit of fun rebutting myself in my very own List of Year 2006 Resolutions. Most of which is really just me popping gibberish. But some of them, I do intend to see through. Like my GPA, musical at the Esplanade, star-gazing, growing more hair and growing taller (don't laugh) .. Yea, u get my drift la.

New year, new start, new hopes, new... OH YA! HANDPHONE!

It was so so so disappointing. Ok, so this was how it went.

Last week of 2005, my mum and I queued up for more than an hour to consult a Starhub assistant/person/smth la, so I could get my plan renewed and purchase a new cellphone which I was dying for (which I still am)! C'mon man, my cellphone's audibility for calls is barely existant, I've got to strain my ears like crazy in order to hear what my caller's trying to say to me. And sometimes, it goes mildly insane, jumbling up the graphics on my screen and what have yous. Oh, not to mention, my cell has seen the insides of a Mcdonald's rubbish bin!! And I believe it wasnt' a very digestable sight because it came out considerably oily and slightly covered in sweet chilli sauce. SEE HOW BADLY I NEED A NEW CELLPHONE?!

Anywho, we were queueing for about an hour right, and when it was finally our turn (I'm telling u, that was the longest time I ever had to wait! That much anxiety could kill!), we went to the table and sat for less than 5 mins. Afer which we left empty handed and so fucking disappointed (well, at least I was)! They didn't have the colour version of the phone which I wanted oh so terribly! The disappointment I felt was beyond any word/s could describe! But ah, forget it.. I've resigned to my fate, that I am bound to this 7250i and we were to usher into the new year hand-in-hand.

And so I've planned, before Chinese New Year, just ship my damn phone in before Chinese New Year. So I can get it before then and celebrate like a happy child who's collecting fat Ang Baos should!
