Feeling: Agitated
Weather: Hot And Humid
Listening To: Nothing
I do not mean to neglect my blog, honest :s It’s just that I’ve been quite busy keeping myself occupied with Facebook (Only add me if we know each other, otherwise write a note or something. I will not simply add people for teh lulz), University and of course with dearest :P
Oh, and also, because I’ve got my Panasonic Lumix LX3 semi-pro digital camera, thanks to dearest and Meng Suan, and have thus been occupied with it (Amongst many other things, obviously) :D I’ll need to update and/or revamp my albums section @_@
So… it may be late, but Happy Chinese/Lunar New Year and Happy Valentine’s Day nonetheless XD
Oh, even though I might not be updating my blog much, I’m still pretty much active on Twitter (Also on my sidebar), so that’s an alternative :P
Feeling: Relaxed
Weather: Cool

It’s technically the 5th day into the new year already :D How time flies. A very happy birthday to Tibbar, first of all, since she loses her 1s and turns the big 2-0 this year XD
To be honest I’ve not made an resolutions this year, as I believe they will come as I go along the year :P Plus, everything’s too fluid, not fixed, so of course it’s going to be hard in some ways to keep the resolutions XD A few things I do know now, though, is that I will be cutting off things and people that bring me down or just piss me off in general (e.g. reading bimbo blogs). No more negativity! :D Of course, I do want to save up more money and spend less, though I’m slowly getting there now >_> And go on more holidays with dear dear ♥
The new semester starts on 11th January, a week later than expected, but still, it feels as though the break is just not enough! I’m quite cheerfully optimistic about the new semester for some reason… despite PSY 202 Advanced Quantitative Methods last semester (The results are still not out yet, and I’m ever-so-slightly nervous and worried, but fingers crossed for the best, of course!) and the fact that I have not completed all my second year elective subjects (But according to most of my course mates, not everyone has either, so I shouldn’t worry too much there) D: The third year looks awfully interesting with its elective subject choices (Compared to the second, seriously), so I guess it would be kind of fun, hopefully :P
I’ve yet to really settle on a thesis topic, though @_@
Basically spent my New Year’s Day having my room repainted, and reorganising my room with the help of dear dear, despite him having to work. It looks more cosy and organised now :3
Here’s basically what half of it looks like XD No more walls in shades of blue, but dark red, peach (Not pink!), light grey and brownish-grey :D Used slow synchro flash because the lighting wasn’t sufficient enough, and normal flash is too bright and glaring and makes the colours look un-natural >_>
Speaking of photos, I might want to buy a new camera- either a full-fledged DSLR (e.g. Sony Alpha 200 or even the Nikon D3000 maybe) or a semi-pro (e.g. Panasonic Lumix LX3) D: Louis suggests the semi-pro Panasonic Lumix LX3 though, since it’s smaller and less complicated, and fulfils my needs :D Oh well, we’ll see how everything goes I suppose.
2009 has been great, with all its ups and downs. 2010 will hopefully be better. Here’s to a better year, and so far it’s been so good :D
Dear dear Louis needs a break, or a day of nothing but rest, seriously. I love you baby ♥ Do take care for me.
Feeling: Slightly Tired
Weather: Cool

I won’t be going anywhere for the New Year’s celebration or countdown this year (As usual, I don’t every year anyway XD), since traffic is going to be unbelievably heavy and everywhere will be jam-packed with people @_@ Just not really worth getting worked up over people banging into you or trodding on your feet, etc. At least, that’s my opinion >_> Celebrating with other people can be fun, but sometimes depending on the situation it’s just not for me :P I’d rather stay home and have a quiet countdown snuggling Louis this year ♥
So… what are you thankful for this year?
For me, the most major thing I am thankful for is having met Louis, and having him in my life as well as being in his life. Yes, ever since we got together, life has not been easy for the both of us- him with his business, studies and work (And his parents moving to Sarawak for work), and me with my family and studies, etc. But the both of us have chosen to ride this out together, so that we may be stronger and able to go through the worst of the worst together :3 And I’m glad that I have made this decision. I wouldn’t change it for anything in the world ♥
I’m also thankful for the people I’ve met the entire year, and for those whom I’ve got to known better (You all should know who you are :P), even if we’re not too close in the end, or even if we have gotten closer. I’ve learnt to love people as they are, flaws and all, and not hate instead, because hating someone is a terrible burden.
So all in all, it has been a wonderful year despite all the setbacks and obstacles that may have appeared. Goodbye 2009, hello 2010 :3 Happy New Year, everyone! ♥
And as for resolutions… what resolutions o_O
This post is continued from here :3 Dear dear and my trip to Malacca.
Feeling: Relaxed
Weather: Cool
Listening To: Fall Out Boy- I Don’t Care
Dear dear Louis and I went for our first holiday together to Malacca on Sunday, 27th December 2009 to Tuesday, 29th December 2009 :3 It was an awesome trip, despite some minor glitches here and there, but after all it is our first holiday together, so I guess we’re still learning :P
All of the photos (And a few more) are on an album on my Facebook account, but I’ve decided to make a post here for the sake of posterity too anyway :D Plus, there’ll be more verbosity here compared to my Facebook album >_>
The photo above is pretty much a memento of our trip- a printed out photo of dear dear and me holding an albino python at the square in front of the Christ Church Malacca, the clock tower and Stadthuys and ticket stubs from our visits to the Malacca Zoo, the museum complex around Stadthuys, the Tortura 2 exhibition in a museum near A’ Famosa Fort (Exhibition of medieval torture methods and implements!) and the Malacca River Cruise :3
I’m going to be writing the travelogues for days 1 and 2 in this post, and day 3 in the next post XD
The bedrooms in my house (Mum’s, mine and little brother’s) are getting repainted within these few days, mine being the last to be repainted… meaning I will be celebrating New Year’s with my room being painted D: I shall take this opportunity to rearrange the clutter in my room, I guess :P
