Monday, January 5
I'm in so much trouble. It's already 5.45 in the morning and I'm not the least bit sleepy. I swear I'm gonna be late for my lunch appointment with Dinah later today. Hoorah to sleeping at ungodly hours and waking up at 4 in the afternoon the past few days.
So so.. it's a new year again. I think 2008 totally just whisked by. I barely felt/lived it. I think 2008 was only made up of 182 and a half days.
This year, my resolutions are simple:
1. Start exercising (15mins of wii tennis before bed totally owned me. I brushed my teeth with much difficulty)
2. Quit smoking (I think this's like my yearly resolution. One that I will keep making because I'm that determined to quit. No, really.)
3. Sleeping right (Not at ungodly hours aka tonight/morning/day)
4. Upload and share all the photos in my camera (I promise)
5. Spend more time with my family (I love them to bits, but there's just so much to do.. :/ )
I'm already working on resolution number 4. So good news for everyone I owe pictures!
Speaking of new year, my new year celebration was quiet, satisfying, and totally sober. No festive drinking, and I totally don't miss getting intoxicated. New Year's Eve, we checked ourselves in to a neat little room in Marina Mandarin. 15th floor. Spectacular view of the Esplanade bay and the fireworks display.
Didn't manage too many pictures during the fireworks. Wasn't about to experience the whole session through my camera screen, as wide as it may be. The view from our room was totally (I know I use "totally" alot) amazing. What made having a room even more amazing was looking at the massive body of humans below, knowing that you're not part of them.
We had a taste of what it felt like being in there, and it wasn't too tasty. In a bid to soak in some New Year spirit, we decided to plough through the crowd between the hotel and Esplanade. That was at 11pm. We survived it unscathed. Returning to our crowdless, air-conditioned room could have been the highlight of the night if there weren't fireworks.
Ok. It's 6.36 now. I think I've spent enough time looking for album artworks. Upload images. And downloading music. I think I see a bit of sun.
