HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS!!!

haha i know its a little late, but still.

the party at my friend's house was kinda boring at first. but it got better later.

OH! and champagne tastes EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

seriously.

my mum let me try 2 sips and i was like O.O

haha and red wine smells like normal grape juice left open for 3weeks.

and i was high on chocolate. there was chocolate fondue and this pinata[sp?] FILLED with chocolate as well.

haha

by the time i reached home it was around 3am.

and i stayed up until 7am, chatting with people and watching 'bedtime stories' online.

i would have stayed up longer, but my mum got up and caught me on the comp and made me go to sleep -.-

haha i went to bed when the sun was rising.

i realised something.

it doesn't exactly feel like a new year yet.

i think its because usually the start of a new year also means another 'first day of school'. but since this year school only starts on 2nd february, right now i am sitting happily in front of the computer instead of frantically trying to finish the final bits of my holiday homework, and packing my bag for the new school year.

i'm really looking forward to this new year. waiting to see whats in store for me.

and i'm not feeling depressed about having to move on anymore.

a special friend told me once that i should never be afraid to move on, and that i should not give myself excuses to escape from reality.

i should learn to embrace the future and not hide from it, just because i fear losing everything good that i have.

i should stop brooding over the past, as my friend so nicely put it.

and now that i think about it, i've given SO many people this exact same advice before, although, the context was slightly different.

i always tell my friends and classmates, especially during the O level period, not to think about the papers that they think they have done badly in. that dwelling over the papers that have already been done, was a waste of time. i told them to focus on the future papers, concentrate on getting the distinction in the papers to come.

i guess i should have applied that to my own situation.

the past is past. and nothing i do can change that.

but i should always keep the sweet memories with me, wherever i go, and at the same time, embrace the changes in life and make the best out of them.

thanks to my friend for helping me loads. you've really been a wonderful listener (:

today was spent shopping with my family.

and i spent more than $300 on MYSELF.

and now i feel guilty.

one of my purchases was a swatch watch. i told my parents to make it their super-early birthday gift to me for 2009.

and although i seldom splurge on myself, i still feel quite awful for spending so much money.

so i've made it one of my new years resolutions to spend money wisely. like REALLY wisely.

it seems so easy just to spend our parents money. whereas, our parents toil so hard to earn it.

and since i didn't take up a job this holiday, i will be even more mindful of how i spend my money.

ok, enough of feeling guilty.

today i had fun with my parents and my sister.

it was an awesome time (:

i'm so glad i spent my new year's day with my dad, mum and sister (: i wouldn't trade them for anything in the world (:

and i'm NOT saying this because they let me buy stuff -.-

i really hope all of you guys spent today with those whom you love dearly(:

and with that, i'm off to bed.

i want to wake up to say bye to my sister when she goes to school for her first day of primary 6 (:

i'll post tomorrow maybe.

till then, i wish you guys a WONDERFUL, PROSPEROUS and HAPPY NEW YEAR (:

love you guys (:
