Heralding the New Year

Posted in Musings at 9:20 pm by jadeite

Where were you when the clock struck twelve on December 31st?

I was at Puppy’s house watching 300 all over again :) and then we celebrated the new year with a prayer and a kiss and with the joint hope that the next year will be even better than the last.

What I wanted to do last year:

• Go for King’s Cup (though maybe not to play)
• Go to Phuket
• Graduate with a second-class honors
• Find a good job that I enjoy
• Become a Scrabble master
• Walk closer with God
• Eat sashimi buffet
• Save an insane amount of money
• Redecorate my room

What I did last year:

• Went to four different countries (China, Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand)
• Played my last inter-hall Scrabble game
• Met the most amazing man and fell in love
• Graduated with second lower honors (well, at least it’s still second class)
• Taught in a secondary school for the first time
• Dropped my weight below 50kg for the first time since secondary school
• Formed a new mahjong kaki group (hoho)
• Spent an insane amount of money

What I want to do next year:

• Stop spending insane amounts of money (thus saith the woman who, in the first two days of the year, has bought a new MacBook, a new handphone, and sponsored part of a PlayStation 3 for Puppy’s birthday present *sniffle* on the other hand, 2008 looks like a year where Beth is going to be very entertained)
• Go to Bali or Phuket or Bintan or Redang
• Continue growing closer to God
• Finish playing Lego Star Wars and FF13 on the PS3
• Become very good at my job
• Be very happy at my job
• Grow a very good relationship with Puppy and celebrate our first year anniversary
• Start planning for my future
• Save an insane amount of money (starting tomorrow)
