But if you close your eyes, does it feel like nothing changed at all?

2013 is coming to a close. This has been a year of many firsts, many experiences whether I want them or not. But I've grown a hell lot, more than ever. It hasn't been an easy year from the start but I'm grateful for everything that has happened. 

I intend to sit down to reflect upon my year, the wrongs I've done and the little things I should do more, but not today. Today is for the new year though it may not have come yet. This should be written tomorrow at the strike of 12 but I have plans! Can't wait to see that bunch of girls and guys I've known since childhood. My favourite people :D

Come 2014, I hope I can keep some promises to myself. Mostly it's spending more time on things I love doing. 

1. 365
Yes, I'm jumping on the 365 Project bandwagon. A photo a day of anything around my life. Doing this to force myself to put more thought about what's happening around me and to photograph more frequently. I've been walking around all zombie-like and I hope to change that. 

2. 12
Insert a roll into my beloved Holga. One photo a month. Develop it at the end of the year. Considering snapping a digital version of the same composition to compare at the end of 2014.

3. Read
I'm not going to be overly ambitious and set a number of books to finish. Instead I'm just going to remind myself to read daily, however short it may be. Even a 5 minutes read a day accumulates. Also, this partly is the result of me being increasingly disgusted at my rapidly deteriorating command of English. I'm positive that all my recent essays would have been thrown back in my face by my secondary school teachers, and I'm rather upset at wasting my education ):

4. Run
I love running. I love the adrenaline rush with it and how great I feel for the entire day after. I shall make more effort to push harder every running session. 

Of course with all those come the usual new year resolutions to study harder and lose some weight. May the new year bring fruition to all these resolutions and promises.

The truth hurts

/start rant  I don't usually tell people what I really feel. It just feels weird. Sometimes I feel like I have to be this perfect being there for everybody. Just devoid of feelings, rational, objective. Give you my opinion, my advice, end of story. But I'm not.  As a  # Taurus  In friendship, you're: loyal - you'll do almost anything for a friend. I'll do just about anything. I'll readily drop anything just to be there. But at some points in life I just get tired of all these. Tired of just listening to everybody complain about every damn thing. And when I just really need to talk to about something I either draw a blank or get things turned into a joke.  & you wonder why I don't ever talk about anything or tell you anything.  Thanks for making me feel shiteous again.  When my student can give me a better listening ear............ end rant/  New 2012 resolution: Stop having itchy fingers that reply to every damn thing....

Wild horses, couldn't drag me away (Rolling Stones, Wild Horses)

Having no idea why I'm so happy ((: I was bouncing all over my house and I think I'm smiling while typing at my laptop (((: I think, having slept almost 8 hours helped (sorry I was late tingtong macadangdang !! ). Watching Tim Urban stunning Kara with his perfect answer after she insulted his intelligence with all the snobbish air she has made me damn shuang. There should be a petition 'Kill Kara'. Hee Hee. So I wasted 8.50 on Clash of the Titans today. Just as well that we didn't watch it in 3d. Everything other than the battles was bad. Parts of it were old fashioned and tacky. What's up with Io gazing at Perseus longingly every single time she appears in the movie ?! Doesn't help that she's probably a few centuries older than him and their love was borne out of her watching him grow up. Incestous much. & Zeus brought her back to life over Perseus' adoptive family. REALLY? I'd guess two decades of bonding, of life on the seas, of love would...

But if you want to leave take good care; It's hard to get by just upon a smile

More than a year ago at Holland Village. When all there was between us were friendships. Now all that is left are cracks, divisions, hatred, awkwardness and scars.   I was snooping around my computer, clearing unwanted photos to free up some memory space. Stumbled upon this set of photos. It was a gathering at Crystal Jade Xiao Long Bao buffet. Walking along Holland Road at 1am to Sixth Avenue (or somewhere near). Oh it was such a good outing. Joy, laughter, freedom. There was no bad history between anybody. Who knew one year later the friendship would become so divided. There are people who won't talk to others. Unspoken resentments. Divided camps. I guess this is what happens when you get to know people, relationships develop and crumble, and when you realize people aren't really who you thought they were. Maybe it's part of growing up. Life can't be a bed of roses. Not everybody's nature is to be kind. Learn to discern. Rude Awakening. Seriou...
