In two days time, I'll be off on a 10 day trip to Paris n Italy, centres of shopping in Europe. But my mission there is not for shopping but simply to enjoy life and hve a good time. Mbbe realigned the gyros in my brain and reorient the direction my life's heading. =)
More updates when i get back.

So we're into the final yr marking the first decade of the 21st century. How exciting! =). I sense tht 2010 is a yr of positive changes n promises come true, for those who're astute enough to see it n grab it. Indeed, i'd say tht this yr would be a pivotal yr in determining the plans of the next decade.

Before i launch into my views n hopes of the coming year, i feel tht a certain reflection is required of the previous year. Helps to grant focus u see. =). Newayz, 2009...like any a yr tht preceeds it...is filled with ups n downs. The only difference abt 2009 compared to 2008 was tht there was significantly more ups than downs. N certainly, for a better part of the yr, i was in good spirits. I din moan or bitch around too much, n i had less episodes of depression. Mebbe things are looking up for me, or mebbe i'm just moving on with life. Whicheva it is, i'm grateful, b'cos it gave me the opportunity to weather life better. I came to realise many things in 2009. I let go of certain attachments, upheld some of the promises i made in life, improved certain outlooks in life. N while i admit tht the year could've gone better, it was no total loss either. Seems to me tht i've finally been able to pierce the fog of despair tht has surrounded me all this while. N more importantly, i've learned not to care too much abt things in my life; be it my feelings, my thoughts, wat others thing of me, or just regular problems in general. I derive a certain pleasure, in taking things as they come, while improving myself in easy times.

Hving said tht much, this good-feeling and self-improving streak is something i hope to carry over into the new year. While i'm still feeling my oats on how i should focus my resources n energy for the year, i am also content to let the year surprise me. Mebbe i'll come up with a list of resolutions after i've come back from my trip. Bein away from dublin, for 10 days, travellin the world, might help me the gain better clarity on the things i wish to accomplish this yr. There's no point in making resolutions tht i won't keep. Neither is there any purpose in making any resolutions tht are unrealistic. In order for life to be wholesome, i guess i hve to sacrifice some things in life in order to gain in other aspects. In theory, i guess i could hve the best of all worlds, but it will take alot of effort, time, resources, and more importantly, commitment...of which i dun think i'm ready to give my all. There're other things tht require my attn, n focus. N while my ambition is high as a mountain, i must admit tht to achieve it all in this yr would be next to impossible. Hey, scratch one more good point for 2009, i learnt a virtue; patience. =P.

Newayz, to u guys out there, Happy New Year and may u guys have a wonderful year ahead! =)

Hey, 2010 is finally here! But this is not a new year entry. It's more like an entry about my new semester, before Nazi spread lies about my classes. XP

Anyway, I'm only taking 4 classes, around 12 credit hours, thus, only 2 classes per day from monday to thursday. Sound relaxing, isn't it?

I'm bored to death.

After a year of living the busy, hectic, but satisfying life of programs after programs, you would think slowing it down would be a great relief. It was, only for a couple of weeks. Thank god assignments are starting to pick up the pace, so i can start be busy and actually do work and cursed all the way from teh beginning till the end.

Ah, student's life.

Anyway, I have a very interesting class called experimental class. the only class conducted in a lab and no lecture! XD They class is the only compulsory 100% coursework and of course, they all are experiments and reports about them. You'll be graded based on the report and the experiments. Nazi is 98% convinced that i'm torturing people as my experiments. Now, in my defense, Yes; i did poke people with a sharp object, but it was mildly sharp. Don't listen to his lies. X.X

*proceed to delete all related files of the experiment*

You can't prove it anyway if you think he's telling the truth.

Now, I know i told everyone I am retired from conducting programs, but this is the last one... i hope.

I am in Ummatic Week 2010! I gone up from head of Creative arts and design to Director of Opening Ceremony. The same program that gave me a month full of headache and an almost asault case in 2009. Believe it or not, I'm looking forward to it!

Now, the new years seems to start of on the right foot, hopefully we all could handle the ups and downs that comes along with it.

Till next time.

Bye~

It's 2010. A decade ago, I was 13 and in Cape Town.

The New year did not start with a big bang; or rather it was a big bang, but not in a good sense. I have to change plans now; I have a plan B but I'm not in the mood to relish in its workablility just yet. I just dread the idea of having to formulate a plan C or B1, to my plan B just in case. A decade into the 21st century; I was really looking forward to the future, but not so much anymore.

But I have my health, and my degree, and I have my friends, and to a certan extent, my family as well. There are people out there in worse situations so regardless of certain things, Im grateful.

New year's resolution: turn 23.

Ah, Christmas is here once again. Though i dun really celebrate it, it's still a joyous occasion as it marks a season of cheer n good spirits. Not forgetting, good bargains =P. I din really do much for christmas. Spent the day dwlding episodes of a childhood fave TV show; Viper. Tht n playing games. Santa din come this yr, again, as there're no presents to be found anywhere in the hse. Guess i wasn't a good boy...then again, who am i foolin when i say i've been good? =D.

My self-imposed hse quarantine has been good so far. Goin out only when necessary. I suspect the cold weather helped things...to a certain extent. That n budgetary constraints as well. Hate it when i'm a student living off taxpayers money. U nvr get enough to indulge. Survive yes...indulge, no. N expenditures are always croppin up here n there. I'm thinkin of putting myself on-call to work as a part-time carer once christmas is up. Times are desperate indeed n besides...i'm bored. I can use a distraction, especially one tht brings me money. =).

Just a short post on me...lettin ppl know tht i'm alive. Tho there are times when i wonder if it isn't an exercise in futility. Most ppl hve migrated away from LJ n those who din, are barely alive, if one were to judge by their posts. =P. It's left to a handful of us only to maintain the circle here. Haihz...we're all getting old n big. Newayz, Merry Christmas to y'all! =)
